CAVA

I have been to other Cavas with no issues. Usually when you specify of an allergen a staff will go over what to avoid and designated one person to make your bowl. This place each person down the line, thankfully, most things served was with a spoon until end of the line last person used a gloved hand and grabbed something, I had to ask to change gloves, then asked if I wanted this and grabbed again. I kept saying no. Finally another staff had to explained in another language. Thankfully I didn't get sick for what I got so gave them some consideration.

I eat here all the time! Great choices, yummy food, and everything are labeled. Unfortunately, the falafel is not gluten-free, but all the other main protein options are. I stay away from lentils due to the possible contamination risk that lentils have.

They have a fun mix of drinks. You can ask for a glove change.

My go to is meatballs with white rice, the supergreens blend, hummus, corn, tomatoes, onions, pickled cabbage, avocado, and the lemon tahini.

Great place to stop for a safe GF meal. I doubt they are perfect but appears to be better than avg on cross contamination. Everything is labeled GF on the menu and on the counters they serve from.

I originally liked this place a lot after eating here a few times with no reaction but the staff started getting really irritated with my requests and simply just not listening to me (i.e. telling them to change their gloves and then turning around to touch the pita… then having to ask them again to change their gloves). They usually give me a hard time there now and I’ve noticed when I go with friends there is a lot of cross contamination happening before the food ever hits the line. I’m super bummed because this place tastes so great, so I learned to make it for myself at home instead :)

Build your bowl as you move through the line. Everything was gluten free except the pita bread. Notified our server and she immediately washed her hands, changed her gloves, wiped everything down and then personally made our bowls start to finish. Really great experience.

I’ve eaten here a few times and the staff does a great job changing gloves, using clean utensils, and making the whole process seamless for never me when ordering. I usually get the black lentils, plain hummus, chicken, and avocado. Delicious and healthy!
