    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.

    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.

    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.

    I love coming to eat at Cava in Azusa! Always great service with Alex & Rey! Great team duo at this Cava's location! Please give these two hard working duo a raise! I will definitely come back again! I recommend this Cava in Azusa!

    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.

    They finally opened one near me!! I don't have to drive to Pasadena anymore!! Yay!! It's clean, service was great and food was delicious per usual! I LOVE cava!! Can't wait till they open one in Monrovia which I hear it's coming soon! Plenty of parking in this azusa location and conveniently located with other restaurants and shops around!

    Do you see that avocado yeah they put it in there

    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.

    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!

    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

    This was our first time here at CAVA - Giselle and Aaron helped us out with fast and friendly service. The falafel crunch and chicken hit the spot - the ingredients were fresh and tasty! Would recommend to anyone for a quick bite to eat that isn't greasy or heavy. Highly recommend- we will be back!

The lamb chops were delicious, and as busy of a night as it was with the farmers market, the staff worked their tails off to give us a table within 10 minutes. Drinks were delivered shortly thereafter, and I ordered the lamb chops... They were delicious! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job and look forward to seeing you again. You earned that fifth star!

    We've been to the Monrovia Diplomat several times and love the food and service. I assumed the…read moreGlendora location would be likewise. Nope. The food is equal but definitely not the service. We had to ask the waiter multiple times for water. For refills (it was 100 degrees and we were thirsty), we had to ask other servers because ours was nowhere to be found. Then we had to remind the other servers because they were just as slow and/or forgetful as our waiter. Ditto for dessert. Ditto for to-go boxes. We had to chase down the waiter to get the bill, then chase him down again to pay the bill. We could've walked out and no one would've noticed. If the restaurant was super busy, I would've been half annoyed and half understanding. The restaurant was half empty, so I was fully annoyed. And then came the slap across the face. Because we were a party of 8, the bill included the tip, which is normal. What's not normal was the tip amount -- 20%! That's typically how much I tip, but no way did any of the Diplomat Jr wait staff deserve that much, especially our waiter. Skip this location and head straight to the Monrovia one. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only Diplomat there is.

The staff here was welcoming and kind and we sat wherever we pleased. The location is quaint but can seat a decent amount of customers. The menu has changed a bit over time. Our favorite things to order is usually their Gyro. The prices are very affordable and the portions are adequate. One thing I'd like to mention is the food is consistently good whether your order take-out or dine in. The quality is the same! My personal favorite has always been their Classic Gyro. It's always so stacked with flavor and protein. The combo is a great option too because you can share the massive portion of fries they give you. All in all, Grape Leaf has been a solid Greek food option for us when craving this type of cuisine. They take good care of their customers and their food is spectacular!

My husband and I usually order take-out, but on our recent visit, we decided to dine in. We arrived on a Sunday evening (5pm). Parking is shared with other businesses in the plaza. We found one in the shade. The restaurant is small, but they utilize their space well. There are 4 tables and I believe 3 high-top tables as well as outdoor seating. The interior is well-kept and decorated nicely to match the Greek theme. Ordering takes place at the counter, no self-serve kiosk. They have many menu options like sides, gyros, plates, kids menu, family meal, lunch specials, soups, and desserts. My go-to item is their Greek Chicken Pita with Lemon Sauce in place of the tzatziki ($13). I would sometimes order this with a side of fries, but my husband got it in his combo. The reason I order this all the time is because the pita not only tastes amazing, it's also filling! There's grilled chicken, potatoes, pickled onions, greens, and lemon sauce. The pita is thick and has the perfect chew to it. There is so much flavor in every bite! The fries were delicious as well. They were soft on the inside and crisp and seasoned well on the outside. Overall, a great spot for Mediterranean food. I would happily recommend this to anyone!

He also informed us that the iced tea was not refillable, but there was nothing on the menu indicating that. The food took about 15-20 minutes to arrive. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, but it didn't taste anything like a Caesar wrap, and the chicken seemed slightly undercooked. It also took quite a while to close out our tab and get takeout boxes, despite the fact that we were the only table in the restaurant aside from two women sitting at the bar. Overall, Lemon Zest has a gorgeous atmosphere with a lot of potential, but the food quality and service left room for improvement.

I also paid extra for a side of garlic paste, but it wasn't included with the order. I didn't realize it until I got home, so I should have checked the bag before leaving.
