    The Diet Mexican Coke
    Marlene R.

    I want to send kudos to all the team members who worked the shift yesterday, Sunday, June 21 at approximately 1:30 . I frequent this location. I will say sometimes they are very, very busy so come with patients and expect to wait. It's not always the case but it's good food so people are lining up for it!! Although I would say to the staff/cashiers greet your customers, SMILE, and don't rush us if there's no room in line to step up to where you're stationed. Remember to thank your customers. But I really NEED to give a shout out to the crew yesterday in particular Jacob. Jacob's name stands out because there was a man speaking to him in a demeaning way, I'm not sure if the man was provoked however for whatever reason it was a ripple effect from the customers in front of that man, the customers behind us and so on. The crew handled it well. Although their facial expressions showed an annoyance, they were not argumentative with the customers nor were they rude back to them. I've never seen multiple customers treat employees this way. I was shocked that they were being spoken to the way they were yesterday... and although being right in the middle of the mistreatment, they were still good to me.

    Food was delicious. Service was quick because I was the first customer of the day. Ambiance is always clean with plenty of seating. There's plenty of parking as well.

    Went to pickup lunch from an online order for a coworker's birthday lunch. It was ready on time. No issues. Order was correct. And it was delicious. I actually liked it more than I thought I would. Everyone at worked enjoyed as well. I would totally recommend. Inside was quite busy, so eating there might be a different experience.

    A standard, no-frills, fast casual restaurant located on the bustling Avalon Blvd near Ikea, this Cava is typically considered a reliable and comparable alternative to Chipotle with Mediterranean inspired options! The ambiance is quite nice inside the restaurant, but service is a bit slow, and the line can drag on weekends in particular. The quality of the ingredients are fresh and above average compared to other Cavas. Overall, definitely a recommended option in the LA region!

    Not the right rice that I ordered. Also not broccoli. And the worst part is that is the third time that is happening while ordering with DoorDash. Extremely disappointed

    Had to pick out that I didn't ask for and got left with sorry bowl with barely anything left!

    I ordered an all grain bowl and they added spinach when I didn't want spinach. They added feta cheese and some kind of orange hummus. All the things added I specifically picked other options and they still put them in despite it not being on my mobile order.

    First time I tried it and it was very nice! I did a pickup order. The kids dish was nice and filling. Their chicken is great and so is the lemonade.

    Burnt lamb balls.

    I had heard of this place via social media. I wanted to feature healthier options for eating out. So I tried this out. Had to travel a little far for it, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Location: in the Carson Plaza shopping center right off of the 405 freeway. Corner store with plenty of parking as there is a private parking space but it does share with other stores. Food: Just like a Chipotle, you have many options to making your own bowls to a taco. I made my own bowl that had lettuce, roasted corn, feta, spicy lamb balls, feta cheese, and basmati rice. I also included some hummus, tzatziki sauce and a spice blend sauce called harissa(?). My first mistake was choosing the spicy lamb balls.. They were perfectly cooked on one side, but the underside was burnt. No good. Why is it so hard for places to cook lamb so it's not burnt? I suggest getting any of the dips if you want any on the side I also got the Aleppo tangerine drink. The drink was OK, but I think I would've been happier with some of the other drinks on tap. Summary: I think I would've been happier, not including any feta or if I had picked another protein choice rather than lamb balls. I took off a star for burnt meat. I took off another star for their dips. If you're going to include dips, can we please not plop them down in one area of your bowl? The idea is to be able to dip into them as much or as little as we want not have them covered in one entire area. A better idea would've been to ask them to include them separately from the bowl so, maybe that was on me. The rice was also hard as if not quite cooked enough or been kept too long in the warming bin. You're not limited to bowls either. You can have it in pita bread in salad or a bowl that includes both grains and salad. You also have your choice of picking one of their curated bowls instead of making your own, which I guess is the way to go if you're new. Would I come back? Hmmmmmm. Maybe. I would be willing to give it a go again, but maybe this time I'll be picking a curated bowl instead. Ambiance is fast casual and modern. Service was a bit hectic as they were busy with the lunch crowd, so no fault there. Price is mid to high depending on what your choices are for fillings. I included their roasted sweet potatoes so my total was about $25 with the fountain drink. Not exactly cheap. Was it worth it? Meh. I suppose if you want to feel more comfortable about your healthy option for food, you might be willing to pay a little bit more like anything else these days when eating out especially if you want healthy, you're going to pay for it.

    Chicken + Rice
    Alejandra P.

    Chicken and rice? More like chicken soup--way too wet and overly sauced. I left hungry. Goodbye

    Been to this Cava multiple occasions, but I'm so upset with the recent pick up order. They need to be careful on what lids they're putting on the bowls because I received a completely different bowl than the one I ordered. My dad ordered 4 bowls for the family, and I was so excited to eat my bowl after work so I'm the last one to eat. I read the label to make sure it was mine and it was correct but when I opened it, it has falafel, cucumber, tomato, pickled onions, beans, and other stuff and I didn't order a single one of these in my actual bowl. Imagine coming home to eat a bowl you've been craving since work, just to open it and it's not even correct. Mind you, my family also didn't order any of these so it wasn't theirs either. Pick up order was on 4/29 at 4:45 pm, they should figure out who did this so it doesn't happen to anyone else.

    I discovered this joint through social media and wanted to try it for myself. I opted for the kids meal because I wasn't too hungry and didn't want leftovers. I tried the chicken with tomato + cucumber and the roasted corn, I didn't see the fiery broccoli today but I'll have to try it next time I visit. The yogurt dill dip is my favorite, I wasn't too amazed by the crazy feta. I chose the pita chips as my side today but I would definitely pick carrots to dip it in the yogurt dill sauce next time, I find the pita chips to be a bit oily. I can see why this spot is popular, but if they had more staff on the line taking orders - it would be more efficient.

    I came in on 9/13/25 at 11:10 am. I saw a lady coming out with a Cava bag so surely they must be open at 11. When I went inside, staff were taking their break and said they were closed- to come back in 15 minutes. As I walked by the front entrance, I noticed their hours said they opened at 10:45. I went to target and then came back. It was my first time at Cava so I had no clue what to order. I think it would be helpful to have the categories projected to view while waiting in line- or a QR code to view menu. I ordered 2 kids meals, and 2 bowls. I asked for a recommendation but the person attending me told me it was her second day- no worries. I decided to order grilled chicken for myself and my kids, and chicken shawarma for my husband. They had many things to choose from which was great but they were out of Feta cheese and they had just opened which was a let down. My bowl was good. I do wish that they had recommended getting the pita chips as I tasted my daughter's and they were a good pairing with her meal. The 3 stars were for the food. 1 on service- I felt like I was disturbing the time I was there after I was passed from the new hire over to the toppings/cashier.

So glad I finally got to stop by many years later for dinner! Parking was easy (on a weeknight). Plenty of street parking and many open meters but I can see it being very difficult on weekends. Bake in some time to find parking! There's both indoor and outdoor seating at this location. This inside is cozy and there's a second room for additional seating. I went on a Thursday night and it was slammed. They do not take reservations but they do have a waitlist via toast that you can join while you walk around and wait for your table. Plenty to do and see on 2nd street. We ordered the party platter for 4 people! It was the perfect amount of food with leftovers to take home. Everything was cooked to PERFECTION. Our beef was a textbook medium rare and was so juicy and tender, as was the rest of the meat. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, as was all the shawarma. All meats were seasoned beautifully. The rice underneath was stunning as well and really caught all the juices from the meat on top. The roasted tomatoes, onions, and pickles were the perfect compliments to help freshen up the palette during the meal. The sauces were amazing and there was a clear favorite (the garlic sauce) which was annihilated by all four of us. Service was friendly! It was very packed so it was slow at times but understandably so. They come by and give you orange blossom water for your hands post meal - what a treat! We smelled amazing! NO NOTES FOR OPEN SESAME! I have to come back with more friends! We did have an issue but it was with another patron who had the audacity to yell at my table (while I was in the restroom) for "having too much fun"?!?! This is a public restaurant and it was loud as hell in there because it's tight and everyone talks over each other, not to mention the open kitchen. The energy in the restaurant is exciting and frenetic. If you want a quiet dinner f*cking STAY HOME and leave the streets to those of us who have had a WEEK and want to enjoy a fun dinner with friends. We will be back and we will have even MORE FUN, xoxo.

Limone was a gift that kept on giving, from the cute branding, to the welcoming service, and to the unique mix of flavors and fresh ingredients. Some things that I really appreciated about the chicken shawarma bowl: The salad inlcuded both dill and mint, which uplifted the entire dish and left me wanting more. They give you a whole stack of (fresh!) pita bread that is sprinkled with flaky salt, something I didn't know my pita needed until now. The hummus were topped with crunchy chickpeas that gave hummus that a nice blend of textures where it would normally just be smooth.

But the biggest disappointment was the quality of the food. The flat bread was extremely raw and placed at the bottom of the plate as if done on purpose or out of spite. Chicken was overcooked and limited portion. Not only was the flat bread raw on my plate but also my husband's. Quality control is not there. I'm so disappointed in my favorite restaurant.
