I won't be coming back! This is the second time I have come to this location and both times our order was so skimpy compared to other locations. And the people behind the counter were very rude... Heaven for bid I ask a question or would like an extra scoop from something. Her name started with an M, she is short, thick eyebrows and fake lashes... barely made eye contact and her tone was unacceptable to have with a customer. Worst Cava location by far!!! read more

My only complaint is how loud the music was, it was very hard for me to hear and for the workers to hear me. Other than that, the food was amazing, the staff is super organized, very friendly and so helpful!! The ordering process was so smooth, my family really appreciated it. The store was very busy, but they did maintain the cleanliness of the tables and floor. The drink and cutlery station were fully stocked and clean as well! Bathroom was also in great shape! Easily my favorite location! read more

For some reason they give such little portions. I keep having them to ask for more but it was still so little as if they're rationing? But no one was behind me in line. Not sure why they skimp on portions when there's no one coming in to buy it. Also their service is so slow. read more

Not bad, first time at any Cava location. Food was tasty and fresh but a bit dry. This was fixed with the garlic sauce. Didn't get much for the "base." Service was fine, no issues. Modern look which is not great, as the modern look is bland, but I didn't come to check out pretty furniture. Will try again read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

The most I knew about this place was that they serve Mediterranean food, but in a Chipotle restaurant style. Needless to say, when I saw their sign go up, I've been dying to try it out. Last night, I finally got the chance to, but not without fighting for a parking spot. We decided to go for their chef-curated bowls and pair them with some refreshing drinks. The two bowls we tried were the harissa avocado and steak harissa with everything on it. I loved that they also included a free side of pita per order. For drinks we tried the pineapple apple mint and cucumber mint lime. Similar to order at Chipotle, the service was quick and friendly. This is definitely a quick stop and go spot with limited seating. I got to hand it to them and their chefs because these bowls were packed with flavor and super filling! Each bowl had plenty of healthy greens and delicious grains. The drinks were not overly sweet. The price tag is pretty steep for the chef curated bowls, but I believe build your own bowls start at $13. Glad I got to try this spot! read more

This is the second time going to Cava. The first time was about a year ago. The food is good and you get a decent amount of protein. I wanted to order the Harrisa Chicken but it looked a little too charred, so I opted for the grilled chicken. Got my three dips and unlimited toppings. Well, unlimited in the way that you can get all the topping added to your bowl with the exception of the avocado as there is an extra cost. Back to the toppings - you get very small amongst of toppings. You have to keep asking for more because I requested Persian cucumbers and for about 3 pieces. Taste: The chicken had a strong charred taste but other than that the food was fresh and delicious. Service: The service can improve. The only person that smiled and seemed genuinely friendly was the person that starts your order. Service went downhill from that point. At the toppings section I was continuously interrupted by the girl helping me as she was having a personal conversation with another employee. The cashier seemed like I interrupted him and couldn't wait to get me out the door. The whole experience was bad and I was rushed down the line. Based on this my overall rating is a 3 based in the bad service. Will I go back - sadly the picked onions are already calling me back. So I have no choice but to go back and endure the bad service once again. read more

We love coming to CAVA in Fullerton for lunch, especially when I'm grabbing a bite with my nurses. It's consistently one of our go-to spots because the food is delicious, fresh, and feels genuinely healthy without sacrificing flavor. The staff here truly makes a difference -- they're always super friendly and welcoming, and we're greeted right when we walk in, which goes a long way during a busy workday lunch break. The falafels are absolutely amazing and are something I get every single time, no matter what I'm in the mood for. They're perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The drink options are also consistently good and refreshing, which is a nice bonus. If I had one small note, it would be that I wish the portions were slightly more generous -- though I'm pretty sure that's just part of their standard protocol, so it's not a deal-breaker. read more

I spent $3 on a small side of Tzaziki...the least you can do is fill the container up. I found out when I got home that they only gave me half. Not to mention service is always slow. The staff there always has a bit of an attitude. read more

CAVA - This is what it looked like when I opened my bag. Disappointing. - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

Came for dinner and built my own bowl. Was looking for something refreshing but reasonably filling. Got rice and veggies with the chicken, added a bunch of pickled stuff. Food was a solid portion and it was bomb. It totally hit the spot. Would definitely come back. read more

Tell your employees if they are going to whisper about customer do not do it in front of their face. I was trying to read an order from my phone and I could tell they were getting impatient and then one said something under her breath to the other one and they both giggled. Also, they charged me for full veggies when she said she only gave me half. I love Cava and have never felt so made fun of when making an order. I wish I got their names. It was 3 girls working and it was the two girls that were working the line. The cash register girl was great and sweet! Food is always great but customer service goes a long way, so this rating is for customer service only. read more

43$ for two bowls and almost all of the ingredients was missing. I've been to this location 3 times and decided to wait on writing a review. I always give places the benefit and give 4-5 stars and become disappointed. Ordered the new Garlicky bowl for pickup on my 30 min lunch break so there was no time to go back and fix it. Didn't realize almost all the ingredients wasn't in the bowl. It was a huge let down, lacked flavor just disappointed. The dressing wasn't in the bowl, the broccoli didn't realize that was part of the bowl until I read the order. No feta cheese and the cucumber and tomatoes missing. Oh the pickled onion wasn't in the bowl either. I received a bowl with 3-4 pieces of chicken that looked like scraps, the arugula and rice oh and hummus not good at all. My coworker said her bowl was ok I should've stuck with that one. They missed everything and I feel like the crazy one because it was my turn to treat us lol. So I am the one out of 43$ just crazy. Won't be returning here it cost too much to be playing around with people food. read more

I got a bowl and the chicken was really good I love their tahini sauce! The workers were supper friendly especially Sergio they gave great recamendations! read more

I'd never been to Cava before, so I was pretty overwhelmed by all the choices, but the workers were so patient and took their time to answer my questions. I ended up getting a bowl and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Will definitely be stopping by after my classes and bringing my friends. read more

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

I ordered on Uber Eats to save time and received this. This location severely skimps on their bowls. There are about 5 spoons of food in this entire bowl, a very small rice/greens base, and maybe about 5 pieces of chicken? I think the base should definitely be a bigger proportion. The bowl had so much space in it left. Save your money and time and don't order here!!! I've been going here since they opened but getting an UberEats order and them being okay sending a bowl out like this is crazy. Debated driving to the store but seeing the reviews, it sees like this is a known issue, and it'd be counterintuitive since I got an UberEats to save time. read more

I had a great first bowl at Cava with the help of Jonah! It was delicious and he helped me pick out the perfect sauces, sides, and protein. He was diligent, kind, and efficient! The yogurt dill sauce was really good and the chicken was seasoned well. 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

I decided to try this Cava again after being disappointed a year ago by their online ordering. It's close to my job and I was craving it. The problem with this location is the people who work obviously cannot read and follow directions. They always leave several requested items out of the order. This time was no different. My order is missing several requested toppings just like last time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to read an order and add the toppings. My god. So annoying! I won't be giving them another chance after this. I have placed online orders at many other Cava locations and only experience this problem at this location. Hire people who can read and follow instructions! read more

The food and service was so quick and helpful. The workers were very patient. The food was fresh and high quality.

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

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

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

The food was amazing, with the grains and protein being filling and savory, along with the dips and dressings adding the spice and herby taste, also a healthy crunch with the addition of greens made it perfect, service was perfect, they were patient and told me how to order when I was indecisive, and the ambiance of the store brought me a casual healthy place to eat from. 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
