Not saying it's not good because it is. The food here is fresh, flavorful, and definitely hits after a gym session at EOS next door. I really like it. But man... those prices are higher than my socks. I paid $32 for one bowl and a drink, and I had to pause for a second like, "Wait, did I just order lunch or lease a salad?" The only real downside besides the price is the parking it's tough, especially with Cal State Fullerton right there. Finding a spot feels like trying to win a raffle. Overall, great food, clean spot, nice staff just be ready to spend premium money for that premium taste. read more

This location needs work. Ana did not seem friendly and was extremely light handed with servings. She also said no I couldn't have two different greens when I get it all the time no problem. As a long time customer it's so frustrating when employees who are having a bad day want to be stingy to paying customers. read more

So glad this cava is next to my gym! Perfect post workout meals and pretty good pricing for what you get too. So far I get pretty good scoops of food. Fair portions for what you get. Service has been quick for me. Been coming here after gym. read more

My second time at CAVA and I'm starting to think I need to follow someone else's recipe LOL I did the Build Your Own Greens + Grains Bowl that included Baby Spinach, Brown Rice, Dips (Tzatziki, Red Pepper Hummus, & Crazy Feta), Grilled Chicken, Toppings (Fire-Roasted Corn, Pickled Onion, Pita Crisps, Crumbled Feta, & Salt-Brined Pickles), and topped it off with Hot Harissa Vinaigrette and Garlic Dressing. Can't forget the free Pita bread that comes with the order! My recipe this time was less saucy compared to my first time at a different location. I was able to enjoy it more, but there was something that made me sick of it after half of my meal was complete. I couldn't finish the bowl because of how full I was. I might have to come back and take out some of the sauces, but they're all described so deliciously that I couldn't help but mix so many! I definitely want to give this place another go, but probably check on the descriptions more to perfect it like how I did my Chipotle. read more

Huge Shout out to David! He made sure I had the freshest ingredients and enjoyed my meal. Extremely genuine and kind. Great Staff on shift tonight 05/29/26. read more

Was really excited to try it for the first time, unfortunately found a piece of plastic in my food so I don't think I'll ever be coming back. read more

I love the food at CAVA, however this location is sometimes a hit or miss with whoever is making my bowl. Today it was Jonah, and he was really nice, but sometimes I get others who are just rude with a mean attitude. It makes me uncomfortable when they react negatively when I ask for a bit extra (only because the amount they serve is super small)... read more

First time to this location ana is very helpful and good customer service i will come back to this location

got a half spicy chicken and steak bowl + another steak bowl + a small drink for about $40, the food was super yummy but a little too steep of a price for what you're getting! The service was super quick which was nice but it was our first time there and the girl seemed kinda annoyed bc I didn't know what meat to get but I wasn't in front of the list yet so I had no idea what they offered. :( they have a variety of craft sodas and lemonades which were also really good! We did the Mexican cola then tried their unsweetened tea mixed w the lemonade which was amazing! Limited inside seating, so probably a better idea to take it to go but parking is super easy since it's in a plaza read more

Fun and healthy fast food option, I'd say. I opted in for a BYO bowl, in which I liked all the ingredients I selected, but it took a few bites for it to grow on me. It was certainly fresh and enjoyable, but not $15 worthy, imo. Beware, SEATING IS LIMITED! Granted, I went at 6:30pm on a Tuesday, recently after it's grand opening. There wasn't any available seating at the time, forcing those of us in line to make our order to go. Meanwhile, one employee was taking up a whole table to do something on her computer... Hopefully this ain't an issue in the future. Nonetheless, the staff was doing a great job in expediting the orders while maintaining a pleasant experience for costumers. read more

I'm over the moon there's now a Cava in Fullerton. I've been to the Anaheim Hills & Costa Mesa location and have been wishing for one closer! Easy parking, signaled corner by the new EOS gym but tucked kind of in the corner. It's a little smaller as far as sitting area, but I'm not going to complain-- just happy they opened. Overall, similar experiences. You create your own bowls with so many options of grains and greens, protein/vegetables, sauces, toppings, and dressings. There's literally limitless potential based off what you're craving. The portion is decent for the price and drinks are not too bad either. Highly recommend. Only con/ suggestion that I have (and I've also experienced this at other Cavas) is having a staff regularly clean the tables. I had to clean my table first. And although we were checked on for satisfaction, I still noticed not the cleanest empty tables next to us. (Something that could better the experience, especially on busy hours and extra staff) read more

Rudest workers and so stingy with the food they barely give anything. When you ask for more sauce on top they charge $2 even though she barely put anything because she didn't want to get a new bottle since it was empty. To top it off found the longest hair ever in my bowl. read more

First time here and it's pretty good. Can be on the salty side depending what you get (feta, olives and idk what else I got made it salty) I ate it all! It was good was to break my fast. Service was ok, tables were dirty but the drink area was clean. Casual dining. I liked it read more

Why is this store always out of ingredients/protein. Came in today and all they had left was braised lamb. Everything else was empty. Always lack of prep. This happened multiple of occasions. That's just bad management. This store needs a lot of work. read more

bad portion size and didn't provide utensil for an order to go. Pick up an order for work, they expect me to eat it with my hands

Honestly, highly disappointed in this location. My boyfriend and I came in for cava, and this was my second time having it. First and foremost, the brown rice we both got was crunchy and stale. We asked for them to remake our bowl, and they did with pleasure. But the portion size they gave me, compared to the first bowl, was absolutely ridiculous. Personally, I would never come to this location again. And it sucks since I live down the street. I mean, chipotle and nick the Greek give bigger portions than what I just received. And this is coming from someone who's been in the food industry for more than 5 years. Pathetic. Only decent thing about this location was the customer service. read more

Marina is so rude to new customers coming in and trying the food for the first time. staring me down while I'm thinking on what to get. When forgetting to put lettece I asked to put some and she said "to late". And kept rushing me in choosing what I wanted. Never again. read more

I only came to this location again because of a friend, but now my friend is refusing to come to this location as well. At this point, you guys absolutely don't care about the customers. The portion of my food isn't even half of the bowl. Save your money and go elsewhere. You'll be wasting your money here . read more

Mediterranean-style Chiptole basically! I love this place. For $13 make your own bowl, the amount of food you get, different variety of flavors, and delicious dressings, it's so worth the value and would even say this is healthy alternative meal that's pretty filling. However, each location of CAVA I've been to, the service is a lot slower when compared to Chipotle. There's also a long line and somehow the servers take a long time to complete a bowl. But I don't really eat at the restaurant so what I've been doing is getting their app and ordering pickup through the app so by the time I get there, my food is ready to go. I eat here at least 1-2 times a week LOL read more

Alec at this location is amazing! He needs a promotion, his customer service was top tier and the best I've seen in a while and we eat out quite a bit. He went through each section with us, answered our questions, and even gave us great recommendations with very detailed descriptions of our choices. read more

This cava is so amazing!!! Everyone try this please! Anna is so nice. Great place

This was my first time trying Cava so unlike others who have reviewed this location I can not compare it to other locations. I ordered the steak and feta pita! I was able to customize my order, and omg did it turn out great! All the ingredients were fresh and so delicious!! I am so happy I tried this place and am looking forward to coming back soon! read more

There needs to be more Cavas here. I'm so glad they're showing up more in California. I got introduced to it in Arizona and crave it every so often. Think if Chipotle was Mediterranean. I feel like there's more variety here though and the options are healthy and are great quality. These bowls are so affordable, literally I pay $10 here, and the portions are huge sometimes I'm able to turn it into two meals but even after the gym we're all satisfied with Cava. It definitely hits the spot. Anna is the sweetest worker ever, literally took such great care of us and she will hook you up. Introduced me to this amazing sauce too!! I'm not going to say this is authentic obviously, but what can I say besides their bowls are delicious. read more

Terrible service. Very inpatient with me. I'm new so I was asking certain questions and I guess I was bothering her. By asking questions. Food is great but the lady with black big lashes was very rude. Her name is marina. read more

$30 x 2 chicken bowls. This specific location is extremely skimpy have been to others and they don't give half a scoop of rice like this one does. They are not welcoming or friendly at all despite expressing this to the managers. MARTINA IS SOO RUDE and unwelcoming. She's giving retired Chola energy always ruins my experience at this location. Will never be back. read more

CAVA - Sad Chicken bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

DO NOT COME TO THIS LOCATION. I've been to CAVA Anaheim hills many times and Brea always excellent all around. This location not so much... This one opened and is closer to my house thought I'd try. I will never return! The serving size was less than half the bowl. Maybe a quarter filled MAYBE. I didn't even realize they put rice in it I thought they had forgotten because I could barely even see it scattered throughout the bowl. I took my dad here as I raved about how good CAVA was and he was SO disappointed. His portion had barely anything 3 spinach leaves and some burnt meat! (No over exaggeration) They didn't include the pita bread and BARELY gave any of the dips you get to pick from. This is unacceptable. What a waste of $ and poor service all around. Only positive thing I have to say is it's a new location so it looks clean. read more

Always an enjoyable time at Cava! Thanks Mia for the awesome service and great food!!!

Uhhh I decided to do pickup and they completely skimped out on portions. I can literally see the bottom of the bowl. read more

After the third time trying to give this location a chance, sadly I will not anymore. Portions were very small for the price, even without comparing it to other Cava locations. Not a fan of the flies behind the sneezeguard landing on the food. They didnt provide or offer the pita slice that typically come with the bowls. Also noticed they were not practicing FIFO with the proteins. They just placed the newer hot meats over the older meats on the service line. Unfortunately, this is one less local spot to support. I guess this is just as well since its challenging to get a parking spot since there's a gym next door. I feel bad for the gym goers and college students who come here and pay extra for proteins when really this would be a regular priced item at other Cava spots. read more

I have been craving CAVA because the food is tasty and I love how healthy it is. Unfortunately, my excitement was quickly deflated by the rude and lackluster customer service at this location. It was deflating because not only had I been craving CAVA, but I was also, excitedly, introducing my boyfriend to CAVA for the first time. There are two specific people who were just rude, disinterested and seemingly dislike working at CAVA. I wish I would have asked their names, but I was so disappointed that I just wanted to get my food and eat. The first was a tall, skinny, white female who seemed rushed and annoyed at my request to get half salad and half lentils. To be fair to her, I was taking a bit of time in deciding as I was also explaining how to order to my boyfriend. She then passed me off to an even more rude shorter Asian lady who was so unwelcoming. I wish my experience was isolated, but the a party of about 4 females who were infront of us were also commenting on how ruden these two female workers were. I definitely don't want to shame anyone, but it really took away from not only my boyfriend's first experience, but the excitement I had to indulge in this food. Customer service is everything! The food was still amazing, but I found myself just wanting to leave. Do better ladies! read more

Grilled chicken and sweet potatoes were burnt. I understand it should be roasted but it was in edible. Service was fine and portions were a bit less than usual. Store itself was okay and parking was fine. read more

I Have been a military member for 3 years now every time I've came to cava they always gave me a military discount, this time manager Martina decided my service was not appreciated. Thank you for not supporting your military members and only your fire.. read more

my first time at CAVA i placed an order online, it was ready right on time! everyone in there was super friendly, even though the line was nearly out the door!! i got a Greens + Grains Bowl (1/2 Spinach, 1/2 Rice, Tzatziki, Red Pepper Hummus, 1/2 Falafel, 1/2 Roasted Veggies, Feta, Broccoli, Persian Cucumber, Tomatoes + Onion, Lemon Herb Tahini + Skhug Drizzled On Top and i added extra grilled steak) it was incredibly fresh and very saucy (which i love, I ordered 4 different sauces!) so yummy i literally had to order one the following day. my new favorite fast casual spot, im so happy they opened right by my house! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

Honestly, this place is a total letdown. 1. They seriously prioritize online orders over walk-ins. You'll be left waiting forever while they assign one person to you, but they've got two staff members hustling for online orders, even when there's a long line of people. 2. Maybe it's because we showed up at 7:30 pm, but the selection of vegetable toppings was pitiful. Both online and walk-in customers got served scraps. It wasn't until I asked them to restock the tomato and cucumber that they actually bothered to go to the fridge right behind them and swap out the containers. And this wasn't just one item--it was at least six different toppings. Seriously, step it up. We're paying for a decent meal here. I've been to a bunch of Cava locations, and this is by far the worst experience I've had. read more
