Build your own
Ally Y.

Cava is one of the places that never gets old. If it's your first time I suggest the build your own bowl. You can choose a base (rice and/or greens), a protein, and toppings including hummus, and pickled vegetables. It comes with peta for free so make sure you get that with the bowl sometimes it gets overlooked but it is free with bowls! Service is fast and helpful they have good suggestions for sauces that may pair well with your toppings. Ambience is nice and open seats are usually available due to the amount of space. Pricing is not bad for what you get. It's a lot of food sometimes two meals worth for one bowl. It's fresh, fast, and worth a visit.

CAVA is the perfect spot for a quick and healthy meal. Their Mediterranean-style bowls are delicious and filling with generous portions. I like to "build your own" bowl in which I can mix and match my favorite greens and grains. There are plenty of dips and spreads, mains, toppings, and dressings to choose from. I would recommend the grilled chicken and Harissa honey chicken for some protein. I'm also a big fan of the free side pita that comes with each bowl. Although a bit pricey, the heavy customization and fresh ingredients are what make me come back time and time again. Having the CAVA app is a must if you are coming here regularly. Through the app, you can earn points, unlock perks, and place mobile orders. I have only had positive experiences with mobile orders, with the orders always being accurate and ready at the given time. It is super convenient and easy to pick up food from here.

Don't go there, baby Not before I'm ready  Spicy Lamb Meatballs Pita from #Cava
Mojo S.

I've been seeing Cava for a while now. But seeing as I haven't been a fan of Chipotle in almost five years now and everyone describing Cava as a Mediterranean Chipotle, I haven't really been all that interested in giving it a shot till now. What I found was kind of good. I liked all the options for proteins they have, especially the seared lamb and spicy lamb meatballs. The options at Chipotle were never too exciting and pastor is my favorite Mexican meat and all they ever offered was chicken pastor. But lamb? Lamb is one step away from goat, and I love goat in a pita or burrito. The spicy lamb meatballs were great. The pita wrap was great and all the fresh veggies were great. I would definitely order this more if it weren't so expensive. It's just hard to justify $15 for one item and no sides. That's venturing into what a good trout or steak frites at a local food joint would cost you. The service was good except for the fact the employee kept having the meatballs roll off the pita and not be replaced. I could have had six meatballs, but she let two roll off--one into the veggies and one into the checked bin behind the counter--and she didn't even offer to replace them. That leads me to think I should've had 33% more meat on my pita if I had a more coordinated counter jockey. The space is nice with a lot of tables and that 80% occupancy line I try to seek out in a fast casual joint. I get the sense you could just pull a book here after your meal without a problem. That's a good thing, when a place is more interested in providing that great customer experience instead of trying to keep turnover rates high. As it is, I don't know if I'll come back often to Cava. I'd have to know the next spicy lamb meatball pita might have the protein packed into it that it deserves and that $15 won't feel like prohibitively over-priced every time I walk in. Cava is good, but not great so I can't see it as a regular visit.

Mixed greens, chicken, cucumber, tomato, feta, peta-crunchies and balsamic dressing.

CAVA Chino Hills has got to be my favorite salad place thus far, they have a wide selection of base bowls and salads, the protein selection is amazing steak chicken, and vegan options as well. All of the toppings are fresh and the servings are bountiful. In my opinion, the best part of this entire buffet style salad bar is the fried pita bread. It is so delicious they give you a nice serving with dipping sauce. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is always clean. I would highly recommend everyone try this place.

the Harissa Avocado chicken bowl. 5-6/ 10 ... rice undercooked flavors were good.

All the hype on socials i was so excited to try CAVA. this was the closest to me coming from an evening soccer game in the area. location was good near other shopping stores and food places. inside was clean and looked pretty organized with it being busy walking in. i ordered the Harissa Avocado bowl there's a line of workers to get your order down and build your bowl. when it got to the 3rd person where toppings were she asked me "what toppings do you want" i answered her i ordered the Harissa Avocado bowl. She looked confused, the guy before her on the work line told her what to put. then i noticed she didn't add avocado, i asked her about it and she told me it would be extra with an attitude. so then i asked "is it called the Harissa Avocado bowl just because ?" Again her colleague helped her to correct her. i can understand it was busy and maybe fairly new. But to have an attitude is just not going to be tolerated. As a first timer this ruined my experience and the excitement to try w/ all the hype. I think her name was Isabelle, the name tag had other designs it was hard to read. finally got my order right. everything was good as far as flavor. Rice seemed undercooked had some hard grains still. i will not be returning to cava :/

One of my favorite spots for a quick grab and go and I was able to introduce CAVA to my wife as well. Similar to Chipotle, there's plenty of ingredient options, ranging from veggies, meats, various proteins, etc. The selection is endless which makes the bowl very customizable. Price maybe $20+ for a standard bowl but it's worth as the staff fill up the bowl tons. Quality of food is great and very delicious. Each bowl includes a free side pita bread which is a nice touch, a delicious touch to the meal. It's honestly such a nice food option after workouts as they provide tons of macros, protein, and healthy options. Overall, this spot is great, staff is friendly and quick despite how busy this spot can get. They have a separate staff for the online orders which streamlines workflow, and they're also quick as well which is great for to go orders. This specific spot is great, located at The Shoppes At Chino Hills, it's almost always very busy in which I recommend ordering on their app to avoid wait times. Highly downloading their app to progress with their rewards program as they offer quality rewards.

Interior

arrived a bit earlier than 10:30 a.m., and when it hit 10:30, their posted opening time, I went to the door. Even though I could see several employees inside, they decided to start a meeting right at opening and didn't unlock the doors until about 10:45. There were three of us waiting outside, all trying to get in and out on our lunch break. I was the first in line, but still waited another 10 minutes before they took my order and made my bowl. The portions were really stingy, especially the protein, they barely gave me any. The inside of the restaurant looked clean, but the bathroom needed some attention, and the soda fountain wasn't working. When I mentioned it to one of the employees, she seemed annoyed that I even asked and just said "give me a minute," which came off a bit rude. Overall, not a great experience. The delays, small portions, and attitude made this visit pretty disappointing.

Very clean inside.

Really love cava as it's pretty solid. It is on the saltier side if you're watching the salt just be careful. One thing I don't like it is the very sticky floor for some reason. Maybe it's the floor type but every time I walk in there, I feel like my foot is stuck to the ground! It makes it feel dirty, even though overall it's pretty clean. I still don't like the pick up area is right in front of where the fountain drinks are and there is really no line separation at all. I don't even know why they have shelves when the food cannot even be picked up there. Everybody always looks overworked and so busy you don't even know who to ask for help ! But still, you will get help if you stand wherever the line is long enough! I wish there was a notice or delineation of lines such as "pick up" "order"

CAVA CHINO HILLS

Service at this location is the best !!!! I've been to a couple other ones and it doesn't compare. The staff here is always friendly, accommodating, and go out of the way to provide the best service. My favorite Cava to eat at by far. THE KEY TO THIS LOCATIONS SUCCESS IS THE DEFINITELY THE STAFF OF

I've stopped by Cava once last week and again today so I'm officially in my "pack no lunch era." If you're looking for reliable food Cava is now my new go-to. Cava is always fresh and absolutely delicious. The bowls hit the mark with bright flavors and solid ingredients. It's definitely worth paying attention to your bowl at the line though and asking for a little extra if you're feeling peckish. The location is surrounded by other great eateries, which makes the parking lot busy all the time and the line can move a little slower than I'd like especially at the register. I think that is where the holdup is. There isn't much hustle so if you're on a tight lunch break (30 minutes like me) timing is everything. I've learned to swing by around 11:00 am to beat the post-11:30 rush. Just pace your visit to beat the peak times, and you'll be golden.

Build your bowl
Shirley C.

First time coming here. It's exactly like Chipotle, except it's Mediterranean food. I LOVE it. I had the build my bowl. Everything tastes so good together. I love the "mouth-feel" every bite. Flavor was rich but balanced with refreshing cucumber and other things. Because I have the braised lamb and the added avocado so my order was $21 and change. Quite expensive. But the braised lamb was so tender and juicy, not dry at all. Avocado was creamy. My only criticism was that the music was too loud. It's hard to have conversation.
