I love cava but this is the worst location, either they mess up the online order or there's never enough parking or it takes a long time to pick up an order. I have ordered from this location multiple times online and they always mess up the order somehow, either not including all the toppings or missing items all together or it takes longer than stated. I hate having to pay almost $20 for a bowl that does not have everything I ordered. I know they can't control the parking situation but I am not going to drive all the way back to spend another 10-15 mins looking for parking. Please just get the orders right. read more

CAVA - I asked for extra tomatoes and cucumber and got one tomato. - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

The cucumber drink is probably my favorite item. The concept is great but portions vary have been here three times. The service is fast and the place is small. Hard to figure out what goes with what - the staff is usually too busy to give suggestions. read more

Great first time. Danna helped me check out So many options, ambiance was great, all the staff was welcoming! read more

I only come here cause I work in the same plaza. Other than that this locations ass. Their serving size is as compared to other locations. The hours also say they close at 10pm but the worker print out a "sorry we're closing at 9" ahead of time to I'm sure just get our early and cleaned up by 10 instead of shutting doors at 10. read more

the girls in the front are incredibly rude, especially the one with blush blindness. No one needs the attitude, we're just there to get food. read more

Cava has great food but when the server is cheap with the lettuce and toppings it is irritating. I asked for more lettuce and was told no and when I asked for more toppings at the end they act like it so difficult to scoop out another spoonful. Wish they had consistent ways to serve the food. read more

Pretty good food I like it here have had good experiences with the employees. But today Mariah helped me with my order, she was very rude. Did not greet me and gave me many unfriendly faces. I felt like she was skimping on my food it was half full and I paid for extra for three meats. read more

Love the food, I come here all the time and always get a bowl, the service is great and the workers are nice

I came to this location the day prior and enjoyed the food. Today when I came, the girl who was working, I didn't catch her name but she had some sort of blush and makeup done was extremely rude. While taking my order she was slamming the spoon as I asked her for my choices. Towards the end I realized my order cost more today than yesterday when I got the same exact order and the girl at the register said it depended on how they wanted to charge you. I find that ridiculous that there's an inconsistency on prices due to whoever is working. Wouldn't recommended. read more

Was very excited to try this place, it was recommended by a nurse from St. Jude Fullerton. Unfortunately it was a big bust... considering it was my first time, which I mentioned. The customer service was bad.. I had no help with the options and I even had one girl wearing a bandana dismiss me and gave very much "I don't want to be here" attitude. For spending almost $25 on a bowl that was not that great I give this place a 2.5. Will not be returning unless someone I know really really wants to go. Even then I'll probably only get a drink. read more

Great food as always! They just opened this location yesterday, so it will have a few growing pains. Love the location, a lot closer to me than the Irvine and Anaheim hills locations. Only down side is it's a bit small and during a rush there will be nowhere to sit. That isn't enough for me to be unsatisfied though! Will definitely be back again. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! love all the options. Everyone always strives to be better. Great service overall and Keira was the best!!!! 10/10!!

It took 25 minutes just to order. The food line was absolutely a mess. It looked like a hurricane just passed through. They ran out of a lot of items at 8 PM and they said they would not be replenishing it anytime soon. The next day we got sick and I think it was from eating the food from cava. They were such a mess in the way they handle the food and (not) keeping up with the food line. They did not clean the line and it looked so gross. Everything looked horrible, so of course if I got sick the next day, I'm going to think that it was from cava. I would not go back to this location again. I have never seen a food line that looked like that. p.s. the staff was fine I terms of interaction but they need to be trained so they can work more efficiently, quicker and with food safety in mind. read more

I love this cava location. They are so friendly and always willing to answer any questions. Ivan helped me with any questions I had and definitely made me comfortable and wanting to come back. Location was clean. This is my favorite location from now on! read more

The girl who took my order looked so unhappy being there. I was there late around 9pm. Most likely college students working there but my gosh she was rude. I will try the Brea location going forth. Also I did not get any pita bread and portions were small. I hope mgmt reads these reviews to make improvements because unhappy employees are driving customers away. read more

This was my first time at Cava, I was pretty excited to try it out. Food was great but service makes me never want to step foot in this place again. The young girl behind the register between 8:10-8:30pm on 12/9 needs a serious customer service course. I've never experienced such awful service. Didn't even acknowledge me when I spoke to her. It was so disappointing. Do better ! read more

Every time I order my food for pickup there is an issue. This is the 3rd pickup where they couldn't find my order. After one gentleman gets my name to check on my order, I wait over 10 minutes for him not to return. My order was supposed to be ready by 6:30 - I didn't get it until 7:10 pm. That was only thanks to Mya who was able to take time and look for my order. Unfortunately the worker in the back made it incorrectly. I was missing items, avocado being one that I paid extra for. Would not recommend going here for a pickup order again. read more

Service is great, food is great. Danna was very accommodating. Food is fresh and very delicious! read more

First time I went to this location the girl helping with the order had the worst attitude. Looked like she hated her life working there. I understand working customer service sucks sometimes but come on. I decided to give it a second chance and it was the same experience. Idk what's going on that all the workers seem so miserable. Also, the portions are so small. For $13 it's not worth it. read more

Great service! Shout out to isaiah, sergio, mary who helped me out! Love the food! Thank you so much, will definitely be coming back! :)

There's one staff here that is rude thats why i barely come here. It looks like she doesn't want to be there at all

Very disappointed in this place. It has so much potential but they are way over priced for the serving size. One of my favorite places that is just like this in orange called hummus way has large servings and lots more options for the same price. Another thing to mention they had Brussels sprouts that count as a meat option and you can't get it with the veggie options. Very odd. Will definitely not be back. Way overpriced small portions they are very chincey read more

3 stars because I am obsessed with the food here, could eat here every day but the parking lot has made me reconsider almost every time. And the last few times I've been skimped bad on portions. When not ordering meat most food places compensate by giving more of everything else but not here, I barely got rice in my bowl and it was all toppings. This location is close to me but I might have to start going to a farther one to avoid being disappointed. read more

Hi there! I have been to the new Fullerton Cava location a few times since it has opened, and each time I have been met with friendly workers and excellent food! However, after my visit today it really is going to make me think about returning to this location. Nicole very rudely took my topping order as she rushed me saying "that's it??" in a hostile manner. I had also asked her if she added a sauce to my bowl, to which she responded with, "I already did" and rolled her eyes. Overall her tone was extremely condescending and left me feeling disrespected. read more

Was excited to give this a try given people rave how much this is better than chipotle. It's a bit underwhelming because staff is new and they were super strict with portions and under portioning. People around me willing to pay extra because the person didn't serve them a proper amount. Also many of the toppings ran out and it was 6:30 when I arrived. Like how can you not have anymore Taziki sauce? I honestly felt bad for the guys behind who had to pay for extra protein rice and toppings. Nothing special about the steak, it was cold. The rice tasted different from the Irvine location. Got a steak bowl paid 17.83. Customer service and staff need to be trained better and more inviting. Over priced bowl for the amount given. Food - 3 Service - 2 Cleanliness - 3.5 Price - 2 read more

My favorite Cava location. Gives complimentary pita bread for free. Wait line may range from 5-10 depending on how busy the day is. Great portions given. Would recommend getting the sauce on the side next time because it can get pretty overwhelming on the flavor. read more

This is what SweetGreens wishes it was. I didn't really know what to get because it's kind of build your own like chipotle so I got the premade Harissa Avocado bowl. It IS very expensive. I paid about $20. But the taste was good. I added tomatoes and it came with a side of pita. I was surprised by how spicy it was! It made my nose run. Very tasty. read more

New location in OC!! Was super lucky to be one of the firsts to experience CAVA's soft opening in their new location in Fullerton. Food is very tasty with many Mediterranean flavors and sauces. The ambience is very clean and modern. All the employees were super nice and service was amazinggg. Shout out to Ibrahim for the warm welcome and service read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

I usually enjoy Cava, but this location was a big letdown. From the moment we arrived, the staff was rude and inattentive--there wasn't a single smile or ounce of friendliness. One of the workers made my friend's bowl wrong due to her rushing for no reason (being that there was no line behind us), and instead of fixing it with courtesy she threw it away rudely, the next person in line had even more attitude. The customer service here is severely lacking, and it made the whole experience unpleasant. Definitely won't be coming back to this location! read more

Amazing & quick service. Ivan was helpful with the menu and full of enthusiasm! This location is new and I'm so happy it's closer to home read more

Been wanting to try Cava and I finally did. I got a custom bowl and went crazy with the toppings. Instead of listing out all the stuff I did get, it'll be easier to say what I didn't :) The tahini dressing was nutty and delicious. It tied all the various ingredients together. The service was okay not great, not bad, just okay. read more

Cava doesn't disappoint. The food is good, healthy and the environment is super clean and inviting. This location is particularly great because Nyellie and Hannah! They were so a helpful, kind and friendly. Thank you girls for making my day! read more

Placed and order through door dash on 8/27/25 and upon arrival of the order it was not sealed and the restaurant forgot the dressings for the salad and the pita chips that we purchased. Went through their online support to get some help because calling the restaurant was a joke to be told that I would have to file through door dash when it was their employees fault. DoorDash doesn't make the food and fill the orders they do. This isn't the first time this has happened with this location. We thought we pulse give them another try since the first time they forgot part of our order as well. Will not be ordering from them again their customer service was crap read more

First time at Cava and was helped by Jackie. She's so friendly and helpful. She explained everything and helped clarify if something was vegan or not. My bowl was very tasty. I would return to this location again! read more

CAVA - Build your own - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

Very, very disappointed today. Arrived after 1 pm and started our order for 2 bowls with a friendly server. Problems started almost immediately and just kept getting worse. Problem #1: Halfway through we were informed that steak had run out and it would be 20 minutes until it was ready. I opted for chicken instead, but my son wanted steak, so we waited. We were told that they would let us know, but no one ever informed us that steak was ready. Not a very big deal though as he ended up placing his order online and we waited in the restaurant. Problem #2: Order was scheduled for 1:30, but it wasn't brought out until 1:50. 20 minutes late and after not having the meat ready when we were in line? Frustrating! Problem #3: Got to the car and discovered there was no pita included. Decided to go home, as I had leftover pita. We should have checked the rest of the order, but made the mistake not to. Problem #4: Got home and my son started eating. Order was completely wrong. He ordered splendid greens and instead got spinach. He ordered rice but none was in bowl. He is driving all the way back to the store right now to get his bowl redone since so much of it was wrong. I'm hoping they will provide a refund or discount because after all these delays and mistakes, something should be offered. Managers,..... who is checking on food running low to make sure that a new batch is being made in a timely manner? As much as I have enjoyed this food in the past, and as nice as the staff is in general, I will hesitate to return with this type of very poor customer service. Today's mess ups left a very bad taste in my mouth. read more

Maya and the whole staff were great. Great customer service and everything seemed fresh

First time trying Cava the other day. I ordered a BYOB & a kids pita. My bowl consisted of rice & lettuce for base; hummus & tzatziki for dips; falafel for protein (4 pcs); fire roasted corn, tomato cucumber, persian cucumber for toppings; tahini cesar & garlic dressing for sauce. I thought portioning was okay, probably could be better because it definitely wasn't filled up to the top. Taste of food was good though, it packed flavor & was very creamy. Falafel texture was different compared to the norm I'm used to, theirs was chewy & soft, I didn't mind it much though because flavor was still there. I also got to try their grilled chicken, pita chips, and cucumber mint lime drink, all those tasted good as well. I especially enjoyed the pita chips, it was so delish to snack on with the crunch out and soft inside texture. Overall, it was a pretty good first experience for me trying Cava's food, a little on the creamy and zesty side but definitely flavorful. If you're around looking for a quick, healthy food I would recommend. read more
