    Kids meal
    Michelle T.

    Food is really good here! I finally got to try the restaurant, which I have heard great things about. I like the counter/quick serve style with the patio and inside seating options. I actually visited two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much! The first time I ordered a bowl and shared with my guy, the second time I got my own kid's meal and that was plenty of food. The bowl is pretty good size, I def couldn't finish one myself. The hummus is so good and the sauces/dips are delicious. They do limit you to a few of each when you get the bowl, and then you get minimal options with the kid's meal. I tried the chicken and it had a very good flavor that went well with the rice and veggies. Unlimited toppings are offered, which is great because I love the corn, grilled veggies and cucumber/tomato options. The fountain drink and tea/juice options are great - definitely higher level than most fast food places. Prices are fair for what you get.

    Always enjoy eating at cava! Ordered online and picked up. Spacious parking lot out front. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly workers and always a good time.

    Levi and Jude were amazing. My first time! Looks amazing. The food is both healthy and delicious. So many choices so you won't get bored.

    A good spot for a quick meal that's better if you order in person. There a decent amount of parking nearby in the plaza. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. I usually take the food to go and the few times that I have dined in, I found it difficult to find a table that was clean. You order cafeteria style and pay at the end of the line. I order food from here frequently because of the convenience. I enjoy being able to customize the meals so that they fit everyone's dietary needs. Every time I go in person, my order is correct, but every time that I've tried ordering online, my order has been way off with lots of ingredients either missing or in the wrong person's bowl. They use good quality ingredients and the portions are generous. The size of your bowl may vary depending on what you order/add into it. Some of the workers have been trying to offer freebies in exchange for 5 star reviews mentioning their names which was very off-putting. Regardless, I will still happily pick up meals from here.

    Stopped by CAVA for a quick lunch and it honestly hit the spot. I built a bowl with chicken + all the toppings, and everything tasted fresh -- lots of flavor, good portion sizes, and the veggies actually tasted crisp instead of soggy. The roasted corn, pickled onions, and avocado always pull the bowl together for me. The pita on the side was warm and soft, and the dressings were balanced without being overly salty or heavy. It's one of those spots where you know exactly what you're getting, and it's consistently good. Service was quick even during a rush, and they didn't skimp on portions (huge win). Outdoor seating was clean and easy to grab. Solid, reliable option when you want something fast but still flavorful.

    Always kind and quick service! Super fresh option for a quick meal. Honestly I prefer this over chipotle any day!

    First time trying Cava and I loved it! The build your own bowl option is awesome because there are SO MANY fresh options and delicious topping to choose from!! Mediterranean flavors , perfectly grilled and flavorful chicken meat , lots of sauces and veggies this place is great!! The Service here was very fast and easy !

    I was disappointed with my experience at CAVA. The portions were very small for the price, and the customer service was poor. The manager was unprofessional and did not handle the situation appropriately. I expected much better service and value. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Not recommended at all

It's much closer for us coming from OC and after visiting both locations, we've found the food here to be more consistently fresh than Rancho. We've already been back many times since opening. The biggest reason I finally wanted to write a review, though, is Josue. Huge shoutout to him!! We've never had a busser introduce himself to us before and he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and hardworking. Our table was the clearest it's ever been! Watching him work, he was ON IT the entire time, clearing table after table, carrying a tray stacked high AND still checking in with his guests. He genuinely made our experience tonight so much more enjoyable. I really hope management recognizes him, because employees like Josue are the kind of people who make customers want to come back. And Josue, thanks for the sopa de pata recommendation, we'll definitely have to try it!

Told us everything is made in-house, even the sauces! That's really good to know and makes me feel better about the food. She even gave me a free delicious cookie for being a first timer! And she comes around from time to time to check on us to make sure we're enjoying our food. Really nice to receive this kind of attention from a fast-casual restaurant. The Santa Maria BBQ Salad looked good but I asked her if they could substitute the chicken with the Chimichurri steak and she said "sure!" And surprisingly they did not charge extra! I love restaurants that are flexible like this. My salad bowl was SO good and filling. Lots of good stuff in it: chopped salad mix, coleslaw mix, Applewood-smoked bacon, crumbled goat cheese, corn & black bean salsa, grape tomatoes. Served with chipotle ranch dressing and blackberry BBQ sauce on the side, and a fresh baked focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cold meat. I was under the impression that the meat was going to be hot. My BF got the Southwestern Sandwich. It was delicious. All the Southwestern flavors were there but not overwhelming. The sandwich was hot and juicy. For a restaurant that makes everything from scratch, their prices are very affordable. Both our meals were only $27 total. Friendly service, great food and good prices - what not to love?

The first time we visited it was crowded and there was a long line. But, they allowed the two of us to go ahead of the line because the rest were large groups, which we appreciated. The young man who took our order was very kind. We both ordered the chicken entree with steamed brown rice except I opted for the grilled vegetables and hubby chose sweet potato fries. We enjoyed our delicious meals! The chicken was tasty, tender, and grilled to perfection as were my vegetables drizzled in olive oil. The sweet potato fries were so good especially with the their homemade sauce. Eating here allowed my blood sugar to come into range for surgery the next day. It goes on to show a good diet is everything. I knew Flower Child would come through. It was the perfect low carb, high protein meal. The second time we arrived, there was no line so we were able to order right as we got up to the counter. The young lady there was very welcoming. My husband ordered the same thing but I slightly changed the meal opting for a cauliflower risotto in place of the grilled vegetables previously. Delicious! The interior has a whimsical & bright decor and impeccably clean. The high ceilings make it feel very spacious & airy. Looking forward to returning.

It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like! Delicious marriage of that bright citrus and grassy green tea flavor! If you're not drinking, maybe this is the way to go!

Typically you order at the cashier, but my high school friend and I were picked out of the line and seated at the bar, where we were able to get water and menus. The food also came out fairly quickly as well. Upon recommendation from the bar workers, we shared the blueberry pancakes and the breakfast burrito and there was plenty of food to go around (had to take some home). The flavors were simple, lovely, and robust, especially paired with the lovely blueberry matchas (they come already with oat milk, great for my lactose intolerance). I would actually recommend coming here just for the matcha itself if that's your thing! It's a bit strong but not too sweet, and I loved how the blueberry flavor really stood out. The downside is that there is limited seating inside the restaurant, which is tough as outside can be pretty hot/sunny. So try to snag a seat inside if possible! Plenty of parking as this is part of a plaza. Looking forward to my next visit - I especially can't wait to have their blueberry matcha once more!
