CAVA — Restaurant in Leander

what you need to know before coming here

getting in and out of here is rather odd I do not like how they design the entrance and exit for this with a cut off at the dairy Queen making it weird between behind the dairy Queen and the apartment complexes to enter exit around with the street entrance for this area being curved in the opposite direction of the flow of traffic!

Plus the middle lane depending on which way you're coming from can put you in a haphazard for somebody else trying to come in from a different lane of traffic on the northbound lane

once you can get past that I am so glad they finally have a location here in this area is I'm a huge fan of their lamb

let me repeat you come here for lamb and of course my favorite blueberry lavender quest homemade juice

seriously just need to redo the marketing and say come here for lamb cuz you can get beef and chicken any other time but to be able to get lamb and especially even spicy lamb meatballs! hard to find

And I cannot recommend enough to blueberry lavender juice

also if you're in a hurry you can download their app join their rewards program order an advance for quick pickup and or or online to website which then grabs you to the app to order or you can just come here and just go through the line Subway style and have them make and design you your bowl or pita the way you want it :)

they have six employees here it seems that any point of time so they're very well staffed with plenty of indoor and outdoor dining room area to keep it nice and spotless and clean but wouldn't tables inside and plastic outside as well as plenty of napkins and utensils easily accessible with their main route sodas to choose from huge fan of black cherry root beer and blueberry that they have here but they also have the cola main route with natural cane sugar

they have a large variety as well as the meats including chicken beef and a variety of toppings Mediterranean and/or Indian style with lots of topping options as well that highly recommend

avocado is extra I'll talk everywhere else but fresh and literally cut right in front of you open out of the avocado straight into your bowl

does that mans and women's restrooms which are clean so there's a quick way to also come to a quick pit stop Billy or belly and get going super quick and easy in and out :)even better...

I was excited to try the new CAVA in Leander, and while the food tastes fresh and the location is convenient, I’ve been disappointed with the portion sizes. I’ve ordered the same $12-$13 bowl I usually get from the Cedar Park location, but here it’s consistently served half full — nowhere near touching the lid like it does at Cedar Park.

It’s not a matter of what I’m ordering — my go-to hasn’t changed. It just feels like the Leander location is cutting corners on portions, likely to boost profits. When dining in, I noticed you basically have to say “EXTRA PLEASE” for every ingredient just to get a decent amount of food.

Even though this location is much closer to home, I’m seriously considering going back to Cedar Park for the value and consistency. Leander CAVA needs...

I was very excited to see that we have a Cava location because I'm a huge fan of their food but hated having to drive to the Cedar Park location. I visited yesterday around 3pm and while the food was okay they do have some kinks to work out.

I ordered take out and was having to almost yell because we couldn't hear each other over the oven fans and kitchen noise so that was frustrating. Also looked like some sort of industrial fans were sitting around and causing a lot of noise as well? Maybe their AC is already having issues?

-The chicken I had was questionable... some was okay but some pieces were way too chewy so I just picked it out of my bowl. I think I will be going with a beef option on...
