I ordered before I went to the store, I didn't tell you from the store on purpose I was in a hurry, I said online, I went to the store, I'm still waiting in the store, it's been 20 minutes, it's not ready, it's ridiculous, I'm telling my name, they're trying to give me another customer's packages, if you're in a hurry, don't even stop by read more

I love this spot in person and had been meaning to review it from the last time i went. The customer service and helpful employees with everything i usually want is great. I made the mistake of working and thinking I'd get close to in person service through Uber eats. The driver was great but i opened the bowl and there literally wasn't any meat. The positive was Uber eats fully refunding it. read more

Cava - My order that only included rice, lettuce and corn - Mediterranean Near Me - Culver City, California

I have been ordering from Cava almost on daily basis for past one year. Sometimes this location, sometimes another location. Today I had the worst experience from one of their female employee.I order online most of the time for pickup. Today around 9.30 pm,May 1st 2026, I went online to order and it said it would be ready around 10.15pm which was late so I decided to walk in and order and a female employee asked me "what can I get for you?" I said can I get falafel crunch "everything except rice". And then she asked me do you want greens? I said "yes everything except rice". My everyday order in Cava is falafel crunch bowl "everything in it except rice ." I said "yes everything except rice." Again she is asking me if I want greens and then I asked does it comes with greens, she said no. I said okay. Now she is asking me if I want grains in it. I said "yes everything except rice." And she is telling me lentils is literally grain by rolling her eyes. She was trying to start a fight .She was trying to teach me about grains. I said okay . Learn some manners and be classy and learn to treat everyone equally before getting a job. Your attitude is not going to get you anywhere and she asked the other girl "if she knows how to make falafel crunch" and passed bowl to her. The other girl brought the card in which it's written what goes inside it and she made the order.I felt so humiliated and embarrassed. I felt like she targeted me because I was not white. I was wearing a simple hoodie and pants and sneakers. I was not wearing anything flashy or putting on makeup. She was extremely rude to me. I live around the area so I do not have to be flashy or dripped in designer just to order food. I don't have desire to impress anybody. She treated me like I don't know anything. I speak five languages girl. I have never experienced that kind of behavior and I have been there before and other people have helped me. They are so nice and kind. Every time I order from Cava whether this location or Santa Monica or Westwood. I always say "can I get falafel crunch bowl everything except rice in it". I say it and they say "okay" and get the card in which it's written what goes in it and they make it. Is it my fault that I don't know what goes in falafel crunch bowl? Do I work there? I contemplated a lot if I was rude to her, I was not. I go there almost everyday. Everyone is nice except this girl. She herself is Hispanic and I don't know what made her feel like she is better and decided to treat me like trash when she could not even do her job and lash it out on customer for not knowing what goes in "falafel crunch bowl." I am never going to that location again. I hope somebody calls out on this girl for her behavior. read more

Starting this review by saying I LOVE Cava. This location has juts consistently missed the mark. I've been before in person and the food is still tasty even if the location is absolutely filthy. But I'm finally writing this review after ordering Uber Eats from this location the other day. My bowl flat out was just rice and main (roasted vegetables), none of the toppings were included whatsoever. And no pita, even though I selected it in the app. They are sloppy and it's not worth it, especially to get delivery. UberEats only gave me $5 back which was not adequate compensation if you ask me. There were not other options to discuss with a person or the store. All in all, come in person if you want to brave it. Otherwise, steer clear. And let's hope the new location coming to Century City will be better!! read more

The food here was absolutely amazing. I have had Cava multiple times at a different location but came here for the first time and it was better than any I've had before. I did have to let it sit for a while before I had the time to actually eat it, possibly factoring into the flavor, but otherwise, the best. The interior is spacious which is very nice as well. I ordered online so there wasn't any interaction. The only downside to it is limited parking or street parking, with very busy streets around, taking me an hour round trip for just 4 miles. read more

Caucasian girl with piercings on her face at this location evening shift needs a new job she's not a good employee very sensitive and immature will give you a bowl of lettuce with a spoonful of rice out of embarrassment on called out mistake on her part she will run customers away reevaluate her hire there. Food is Good but she's bad for business read more

SOLID FOOD! Okay service. My dad and I stopped by here last Sunday around 4 pm to pick up a quick, early dinner. Surprisingly, there were a fair amount of people outside eating and a few people coming in and out to order. I got a "Build Your Own Bowl" and my dad got a "Spicy Lamb Meatball Pita." I have had Cava at other locations and this was my dad's first time. The food is always great! Always consistent in flavor and portions, and my dad enjoyed it! The FRIED PITA CHIPS are a must if you are getting a bowl! Service was a bit slow as I think they were understaffed, but still overall good! Parking was easy as there is a nearby park with a fair amount of public street parking within a block. Do not park in the close parking lot, as it is not associated with Cava! read more

One of my favorite places. Immediately as you walk in you are welcomed. Always clean, always friendly and always fresh. With so many options available there's always potential for new flavors and experiences. read more

Cava - Very clean and nice service! - Mediterranean Near Me - Culver City, California

I am a forever CAVA fan but I am removing 1 star for two reasons: 1. I asked the gentleman who was prepping my bowl about the type of chicken they had available. THREE times he said it's ONLY white meat and they only use chicken breasts. I had been told something different at another location about six months prior so I was concerned. When I got to the register, I asked another gentlemen to confirm that it's white meat. He promptly said it's a mix between white and dark meat and immediately remade my bowl. I asked him to please make sure he let's his team know the same because I truly would have been upset if I discovered dark meat in my bowl when I got home, especially after I asked about dark meat THREE times! 2. The gentleman at the register promptly remade my bowl but was dismissive about my frustration with the situation. Food is a SERIOUS thing. Still love CAVA and bought some shares! #foreverfan read more

This was a delicious and healthy meal enjoyed as a takeout experience. They have a ton of options with lots of customizations available. I opted for a custom grains bowl with chicken and a ton of assorted vegetables as well as a chocolate oak cookie. Wow! The bowl was delicious! Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful including the dressing. If this is healthy eating, I could get used to it!! The cookie was good as well although a bit on the small side and overall nothing too amazing. The bowl, though, was great and truly the highlight of the experience. Give this place a try for healthy and delicious food! read more

Cava - Custom bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Culver City, California

Falafel wrap was mid as all hell. But the falafel bowl? ALL SORTS OF YUMMY. I ordered delivery, and truly can't wait to again.

my first time finally trying cava! came at noon on a monday and the line was very short. there's a nice outdoor seating area with umbrellas for shade. i got the $12.05 bowl and customized it -- splended greens, saffron rice, grilled chicken, tzatziki, eggplant, harissa, all the vegetables, and garlic dressing on the side. it was very flavorful and felt healthy. next time i'd use more of the dressing and less dips. a good filling meal for a decent price. i will definitely get cava again when i'm in a city that has it. they need to make one in the bay area! read more

It's the best of all the chipotle style food prep/ service models. It's soo tasty, filling, and great quality.

I recently ordered a bowl and was very disappointed. Bowl looked nothing like what was pictured on their website. The presentation was sloppy, ingredients were missing and overall it looked thrown together with no care. Bummed to be writing this, especially since it was my first time trying CAVA and I was genuinely looking forward to it. read more

Quick and easy service!! I was in and out of the CAVA. Team was really kind and the food is always so good!

I love Cava food, but this location sucks. Customer service is awful. Every single time I order for pick up, the staff "forgets" multiple ingredients. The bowel is very sloppily put together with missing and incorrect items read more

Food was delicious! S/out to ALAN! He was super helpful, friendly service, and looked ready to give great hospitality.

I came in here with my uncle, the fabulous man with the green hair lol, and we were appreciative of the short backstory given of the establishment, and the food was INCREDIBLE. The woman who gave us service gave us her name, but I do not want to risk misspelling it. It started with an "M" and she was FANTASTIC and so nice. Thank you again for your polite treatment towards us :))) read more

Awesome service, Cava lines are now Chipotle long. But, the line moves at a quick pace, and better and healthier food! Shout out to the crew for making that an easy experience! read more

The service was great, Henry was serving us and not once was annoyed as we sampled multiple things and asked for servings that were not yet ready. He was kind. Also very clean in The bathrooms, interior and patio (bathrooms are cleaned hourly). food was excellent and seasoned!! read more

Everytime I go to Cava I pray David is there. I have nothing but good things to say about him. David is very welcoming, kind, and efficient at preparing orders. David always makes my day that much better by simply asking how I'm doing and relating to me in a way most others don't. He not only cares about his job, he cares about the customer's experience as well. Thank you David! read more

A great mediterranean alternative to Chipotle. Definitely feels healthy and lighter than your typical assembly meal, but they can go a little too heavy on the sauces. Relative to other 'build your own' restaurants, Cava has a great price point, especially considering the rarer ingredients they use. I frequent this place when I'm in need for an inexpensive, quick and relatively healthy meal. read more

Thank you AJ for your amazing service! He was patient and kind and gave great recommendations!

My sister has been going on and on about how good Cava is so I decided to go today for lunch. I visited the Culver City location and had a pleasant experience. The only thing about this location is the parking situation. There's no designated parking lot for Cava but there's metered parking and other parking lots within blocks of the restaurant. There's a lot on Cardiff that offers 1 free hour of parking ($2 an hour after). The staff was so helpful with ordering especially Dante. There's a good amount of options so I had questions about the different protein, sauces, sides and toppings available. Dante was patient and helpful and just made the visit that much better. I ordered the bowl with the honey chicken and a mint/cucumber lemonade and it was sooo good. FYI the honey chicken has an up charge but it's worth it. The portions are smaller than I expected but still ok. I will definitely be back to try more menu items. Enjoy! read more

I am a big CAVA fan and enjoyed them in Phoenix now back in LA. This one in Culver City is another winner. The seating is great with plenty of booths as well as a nice patio and it's even near a nice park. I had the meatball pita sandwich and Greek salad. The salad was very large with plenty of delicious chicken, kalamata olives, feta cheese and hummus. It was one of the best I ever had. I also really like their drinks. The blueberry soda is my fav. Service bowl craftsperson Ruth was great. Manager Matt is also very cool. . Highly recommended read more

Exceptional service from who I assume is the manager at this location, Chaz. They were very attuned to our needs and noticed right away when we needed something and made sure we were taken care of. Our experience was 5 stars because of their service. Chaz was working hard throughout the whole time we were dining in to make sure everything was clean and was very quick and efficient but also thorough. Cava tasted fine but the service really blew us away for a fast food chain! read more

Great service! Love the food and drinks! The staff are always very helpful when asked anything about the food

Teairra helped me out during a busy time period when the online System was down and was a life saver. She was amazing and calm even though I was flustered at first. Once I realized I had been placed in good hands I felt much better. Thank you!!! Here's the story: I had input the information twice for a large order $200+ online and on the application and the system kept saying error and to go to the store and order in person. When I arrived the line was very long( as expected since it was lunch time around 1pm) which is why I had been trying to place the order for over an hour twice on the application and internet website starting at 12 noon for a 1:45 pick up. When the order kept shutting me out and deleting my order I quickly hurried out the door since it was important the food arrive back before everyone left for the day. Luckily I had taken screenshots of their customized orders, however due to the way cava structures their order with ingredients I couldn't tell you what the differences were. This is where Teairra was a huge help. Her calmness and professionalism was amazing. High marks! Wish I could've left a tip! But I felt compelled to write this review as a thank you. Food was wonderful as always from Cava but even better considering how her customer service was impeccable. I will admit, it's always a little frustrating when a customer is trying to spend money and the stores system isn't letting me. On a side note though, Cava ( the brand)needs to step up their online ordering game. This isn't the first time this has happened. Someone said that the fix might be splitting up the orders, however, that doesn't really make practical sense does it? Why am I trying to carry multiple receipts when I need the order all to pick up at one time. Conclusion: Teairra is awesome for her help and patience and Cava needs to work on their online ordering system flaws. read more
