CAVA

Edit: I now go here every week! Staff is usually knowledgeable, and it’s been very safe when I order in house and watch them prep.

Delicious, fast Mediterranean with Gluten, dairy, vegan, vegetarian and soy clearly indicated online. The guy who helped me was semi-familiar with Celiac and happy to do his best but wasn’t able to say much about cross-contamination. I took some enzymes with the meal and haven’t felt symptoms in the hour since eating.

Upon ordering I asked if he could use fresh gloves as I have celiac and not only did he do so, he also washed his hands and seemed unbothered about it. My Chicken & Rightrice bowl was delicious and I had no symptoms of cross contact.

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!
