I came here yesterday for the first time, and it was a great experience! Steph was very welcoming, polite, and always checked in to make sure I was doing okay. I really appreciated her kindness and excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back! read more

My son and I tried that place for our first time and our experience there was amazing! My son has autism and can be very picky, but two of the workers there spoke to him and had so much patience while he was ordering his own food. Yarelly helped him first, she was so sweet and encouraged him to try something. Then Stephanie came and was very helpful, offering a lot of reassurance to him while he asked a million questions. Both girls were very sweet and made my son and I want to come back to eat because the food was also so good. It's nice to sit in a place that's clean, well maintained and has great management behind it all. Will definitely be coming back ! read more

Came here with my friends after the gym, and it was so yummy! CAVA is quickly becoming my new favorite place to eat. This was my first time visiting the Azusa location, and I had a great experience. The staff was fast, friendly, and welcoming. I also love how spacious this location is. Compared to the Monrovia location, which has very limited indoor seating, the Azusa CAVA has plenty of room to sit and enjoy your meal, especially on hot days when you want to eat inside. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

If you have ever been to CAVA before, it's basically Chipotle but Mediterranean style. You pick a bowl or a pita, your base, your protein, and then your toppings. This is one of the newer CAVAs in the area and it has a drive through but it's not exactly like a normal drive through. You need to place the order on the app and when your food is ready then you drive up. The service here is fine, I mean there isn't much service except for someone to scoop the food and put it in your bowl. It's pretty much self serve. The interior of the place is very nice and warm tone. The seats are comfortable and it's relatively clean. The food here is good. The portion of the food got better. When I first came here; the portion size was a bit sparse. Like not enough rice and everything was too flavorful. My other subsequent visits have been a full bowl and I'm full too, which makes me a happy camper. Parking for this place can be tight if you want to park in front or near CAVA, but there's a big lot on the other side of the plaza. There is also parallel parking spots on the north side. Overall, delicious food and good portions always a 5/5 in my book. Would highly recommend. I'm glad they fixed the portioning issue early. read more

This is the third CAVA I've visited and it seems smaller than most. The crew are predominately women with some men working as cooks in the back. The store is set up similar to the others and resembles Chipotle's assembly line format. i wish they would serve more food for the price of the food and quality. I think the price is a little more than what it should be, but I guess that's why there is no tip involved. read more

Giselle was an absolute doll. She did a great job at navigating me through the process of the cava rewards program, and she also suggested that I put the new strawberry vinaigrette on the side as it is an acquired taste. She brightened my day and kudos to her for working on a holiday. read more

First time at Cava and I enjoyed it a lot. Very fresh and good ingredients. Toni was very helpful when making the bowl and she had great recommendations that I enjoyed. I will be coming again! read more

This was my second time eating Cava. I figured I'd have the same great experience as my first time, just a different location. Unfortunately, my experience here was just okay. I spent $45 for two bowls, extra pita and 2 drinks. The chicken I was served seemed undercooked, and it was only some pieces. To avoid getting sick I basically took most of the protein out and ate everything else. I love this concept because I love Mediterranean food. The service was friendly but, a little slow. I don't know if I'll come back but, you might love it and should try it. read more

If it wasn't for Nicole I wouldn't go. Her customer service is A1. Food is good as well.

CAVA *October 10, 2025 *12pm- Friday *4 Stars Environment: *Moderate Parking Lot *Fast Service *Indoor Seating Food/Drink: *Build Your Own: SuperGreens, Saffron Basmati Rice, Tzatziki, Traditional hummus, Roasted Eggplant Dip, Grilled Chicken, Pickled Onions, Balsamic Date Vinaigrette Tried ordering in person for the first time at this location instead of doing it online. The line moved relatively fast, especially for a busy lunch crowd. The food was solid as always! The only downside to ordering in person is that the names of the items are listed on sections of the sneeze guard rather than directly above the food itself, which can make it tricky if it's your first time and you're not sure what's what. It was also a bit loud inside, which made it a little hard to hear the server (and vice versa), but overall still a good experience. read more

I would like to start off that I came here because I found it on TikTok. They just opened near me. I came here excited to finally try Cava and left wondering why I even bothered. The night started with us standing in line for ten solid minutes, not because it was packed but because the employees looked completely untrained and unsure of what they were doing. Aidan was the one at the counter and he didn't greet us, didn't apologize, didn't say a single word about the wait. He just gave this little smirk like he knew how ridiculous it was. During that time other employees were hanging out on break, giggling and looking our way while the line dragged on. It set the tone for the entire visit and not in a good way. By the time I ordered I didn't even want to customize a bowl anymore. I played it safe with a signature item, which should have been straightforward, but when it came out the bowl looked half empty compared to the photos. I asked Geo at the register why it was so bare and he told me I should have asked for more toppings. That made no sense because a signature bowl should come as pictured, not like a stripped down version. Even after going back and forth, what I got was still a sad looking portion for nearly twenty dollars. On top of that the lamb meatballs were dry and my friend's wrap had bones in it, which was the ultimate turnoff. The drinks sounded creative but tasted watered down, more like an afterthought than something refreshing. For how many employees were standing around, the service was the slowest I have ever seen in this type of restaurant. The lack of training, the lack of urgency, and the lack of care for presentation or quality made this place feel like a complete waste of time. If you want Mediterranean food, Luna Grill is a much better option. If you just want something quick and reliable, even Chipotle across the street will treat you better. This was not worth the hype and I will not be coming back. As far as the ambience...nothing special. read more

This was the best experience ever! We walked in, greeted right away, and the portions were great! Now, if you'd like veggies, this is the place to be. If you are more of a picky eater, this probably isn't the place for you. Although I do believe that this place has something for everyone, my boyfriend is a Picky Eater, and his bowl was fairly small. Regardless, the food was great! And we definitely will be back! read more

CAVA - Custom Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Azusa, California

First time visitors and we LOVED it!! The entire experience was positive with the exception of one huge issue, they ran out of chicken and as result, we were forced to wait in line for close to twenty mins while the cook grilled more chicken. I totally understand and we were not upset of this issue however, forcing customers to wait so close and the very long line coming to a complete stop for so long, definitely cost the restaurant over ten customers as they simply got out of line and left. Despite this one negative incident, this place is extremely popular as once the long line got going, it was non stop customers coming in and either ordering food and/or picking up their food orders. Customer service is FANTASTIC! Each customer was super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was somewhat clean and no fault of the employees as customers at two different tables simple got up and left after eating their meals, leaving their trash behind on the tables, UNBELIEVABLE that an adult would feel that leaving their trash behind is acceptable behavior when there are trash cans adjacent to either exit. The vibe here is relaxed, the food choices are great and the healthy food itself was EXCELLENT!!! Each item was delicious, healthy and well prepared. The chicken chunks included in my salad were very tasty, moist Sam's left me wanting more. We will definitely return here as soon as later tonight for dinner read more

Yet another cava soft opening experience. I did think most everyone on the line was serving exact what they were supposed to, but some things like rice I thought was a bit skimpy. Harissa chicken is yum, never really a fan of their steak here due to chewyness. But overall, good service and food on point. Harissa chips could be hotter, but happy to get some. I'm not a fan of anything Cucumber in drinks but their Cucumber lemonade was better than all the cava places I've been. This location is on the smaller side. Far right on the Plaza. BTW for those of you who like to get on the preview action just follow cava on eventbrite and have your alerts set. You get a free entree and a drink every time. read more

I can eat here anytime. It's the chipotle of Mediterranean food, fresh fast, fair priced, and large portions.

Enough for a meal for two. read more

CAVA - Greek salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Azusa, California

I had been here twice already! I am so excited that Cava opened near me! I love healthy choices and I love their salad bowls! I like their salad choices and their hummus taste very delicious! However, their meat is too burnt (burnt meats aren't too healthy) , but recently their new item garlicky chicken (forgot the actual name) is not burnt at all so it's pretty good! Overall I really love how everything taste in the bowl. The price was extra because I chose the garlicky chicken. So it did become more pricey for a salad bowl. But the quality is pretty good. I also like their complimentary pita bread. I will definitely return again and again! Hopefully they can make their meats less burnt. So I don't have to pay extra just to get meats that aren't so burnt. Their service is efficient. Ambiance is clean and comfortable. read more

We came in on the second day of opening. It was pretty busy but the line was moving along quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had the Greek salad and my partner a bowl with avocado and spicy harissa chicken. The food was delicious although I find that the price, the servings are small. The store seemed clean and inviting. My only critique is that I ordered the harissa pita chips and they forgot to put it in the bag. read more

I finally got to try Cava out, and boy was I impressed. There's ample parking, and even a drive up window to pick up mobile orders. The employees were so knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. I got a build your own with Harissa chicken, greens and grains, hummus, garlic tahini, and all the fixings. The value for your buck, they don't skimp you on meat or toppings like other places. There are vegan and vegetarian options, and there's so many toppings to choose from. The bowls start at $12, so there's no excuse to say it's too expensive to eat healthy. I can't wait to go back already. I feel like I'll become a regular here. Thanks guys for your patience and for all your help on my first visit. Your customer service was stellar. 10/10. I got my food to go so I didn't take a pic cus it got messed up from walking, but will do next visit :) read more

I absolutely love cava. If you don't well you are missing out. The first time I tried it I was hooked. I am so glad o finally got one close to home because it was a distance and I only would get it if I was out and about in that area. Now it's 10 mins away vs. 30 mins. If you haven't tried it give it a try. Fresh and flavorful. Helpful kind staff and clean. Love it! read more

Tried this restaurant based on reviews after going on a long hike up in the San Gabriel mountains. Never been in the area before, so my wife & I thought we'd be a bit experimental. Service was a bit slow, but the menu was easy to read. Basically choices are Bowls or Pita. Easy. Good flavor on the items we ordered, but the portions were not much. I was told I'd be given a chance to add veggies after they prepared my bowl, but never was given a chance. Total bill with drink and cinnamon pita chips/w honey was $42. Overall the food tasted great, service was so-so and portions small. May try it again someday, but I'm in no hurry read more

The space is just ok but just right for carry out. Can best be described as a Middle East chipotle. Plenty of flavors to choose from. The brazed lamb (mutton) over rice and toppings was excellent. The line of customers was actually out the door but moved along just fine. I'm going back. read more
