Ok so every once in a while I like to go slumming at my local Panda Express in la habra. One can eat A5 Hidagyu and port wine reductions yada yada yada only so much. Every once in a while you want to eat orange chicken. Well good thing for CAVA that Panda Express next door is closed down indefinitely. The manager at CAVA was reading the sign as I mentioned to him "hey, that's good for you... CAVA is healthier anyway. So I ordered a honey chicken bowl with red pepper hummus and tzatziki. And it was good. What's more important in this review isn't just the good food at this place. It's the guy managing it at 12:30 on a Thursday 5/7/26. Talk about an individual who knows how to treat people. Textbook sales 101 and I've been in plenty of board rooms to know. I'll spare you the details. Go and find out for yourself. CAVA needs a 100 more just like that manager. He didn't need to extend kindness above and beyond. What unusual is that he probably treats everyone the same way. Either way what makes a decent place now becomes an excellent place because of a person who works there and now what was going to be a one off is a place I will frequent regularly. read more

Friendly staff, clean, fast paced service. I really enjoy this location. Parking is tight next to the location, but plenty across the bigger Walmart lot. Food is of course good for fast food quality. Although they were out of corn the day I came. read more

I've been coming to this location lately and it's a solid 4-star spot for me. The food is very clean and feels super healthy, it's one of those rare fast-food places where you actually feel good about yourself after eating there. The restaurant itself is always kept clean, and the service is consistently fast, which I appreciate. My only real complaint is that the meats are soooooo salty. It's a bit much for me to eat as-is. I actually have to take my bowl home and add two whole avocados just to balance it out and make the bowl eatable. If they dialed back the salt a little bit, it would be a perfect 5 stars. But for a quick, fresh meal that doesn't feel like "junk," it's still a great go-to in the area. read more

Found a bug in our bowl, staff was unfriendly and not very welcoming, especially the girl that was remaking our bowl. We came at 1:30 PM on a Tuesday, not very busy, it's our first time here, while I'm not typically the type of person to write a review as this is my second review on Yelp, it's pretty disgusting that there was a bug in our food, seems like this wasn't the first time this has happened either as there was another review with the same experience. While I appreciate the girl remaking the bowl for me, her slightly "tossing" the bowl at me really showed how irritated she was remaking it. We all have bad days, I get it, but cmon..really? No apology either :/ first time having cava and this experience sucked. read more

CAVA - Bug that was inside the bowl but moved around to the side - Salad Near Me - La Habra, California

Found a larva in my bowl I have seen repeated sanitation issues at this Cava. Staff talk over the food with actual spit landing in the containers, they put items that fell on the counter back into the containers, and the trash is always overfilled. I kept overlooking it because there are not many healthy options in this plaza. But finding a giant larva today is absolutely the last straw. read more

Cava has always been good to me. I never really had a bad experience here. Everything tastes super fresh and flavorful. I love eating here because of how nutritionally dense their meal is. You get your protein, carbs, veggies, and the fat from natural sources like yogurt and chickpeas. I got the basmati rice and lentils with chicken. At the time that I went, there seemed to be a rush before and they ran out of a lot of the proteins including chicken and steak. They notified me of a little wait time which I was fine with. At the end, they gave me a drink on the house for the inconvenience. They also packed my bowl which allowed me to have some leftovers the next day. Super considerate employees! This place is my new favorite place to get cava. I've always been satisfied with my experience. read more

CAVA - Chicken Bowl - Salad Near Me - La Habra, California

First time visiting this spot and I found the food very tasty. I ordered a bowl with roasted vegetables, rice, kale and topped with a garlic dressing. The ingredients were fresh but the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected. The food is prepared at different stations allowing you to customize your bowl. There are an array of toppings from mild to spicy. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which, I appreciated. read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - La Habra, California

Stopped by CAVA for lunch and even though it was pretty busy, the wait times weren't bad at all. Food (4/5): I ordered the garlicky chicken shawarma in a pita wrap. Flavor was great and everything was customizable, much like Chipotle but with a Mediterranean twist. One tip: if you're getting the pita wrap to go, I'd recommend having the sauces on the side--it can get pretty messy. I enjoyed it thoroughly, though I'd probably eat in next time. Ambiance (4/5): Clean, modern, and very much a fast-casual vibe. It's a nice spot, but parking can be tricky since it's right next to Panda Express and other popular lunch options. Service (4/5): Staff was friendly and helpful, keeping things moving quickly despite the lunch rush. Overall: Solid lunch option--fresh, tasty, and customizable. I'd definitely come back. read more

Truly disliked my visit to this cava location. We arrived on a thursday at 6pm for a quick dinner and they were already running out of most of the proteins and toppings. We first tried ordering the steak+feta pita but they ran out of steak. No biggie, we decided on their greek chicken, then when the staff was assembling our pitas, she was already running out of chicken, so our second one had very little chicken, she couldn't even at least let us know if we would like to replace it with something else and just walked away to help other customers instead. Another staff came in to finish up assembling our pitas and was basically running out of dressing and couldn't even bother getting a new bottle and instead decided to leave our pita with a few drops of dressing. Very disorganized staff and zero customer service. Won't be coming back to this location and do not recommend it at all. read more

I have come to this Cava many times because of its convenient location, but my experience is always hit or miss. I either walk out very satisfied or unsatisfied. I have had experiences where the staff are very friendly and welcoming. However, other times they are not welcoming at all and the customer service is below average. This day the service was not the best unfortunately . They were also running low or completely out of some toppings in the afternoon, which was disappointing. The portions were a bit small as well. Everything tasted great though. Also, the cashier was very kind and helpful, which was nice! I love Cava, so I will definitely be returning, but it's just disappointing at times. read more

CAVA - Grains Bowl - Salad Near Me - La Habra, California

Overall flavor was good. Found price compared to portions were lacking. Customer service was also poor to say the least. It was my first time there was very rushed and couldn't get what I asked for on my bowl and splitting between two different proteins was a terrible idea because I ended up with very small amounts of each which did not amount to same if I had one protein. When I asked about it I was just stared at and pretty much told they were too busy! I'd rather drive further to authentic Mediterranean across town where they hand you falafels hot and fresh while you wait in line. Their line is often out the door but their customer service is always on point! Cava lacked in a good experience all the way around. read more

This location replaced Ian's favorite Pizza place when he was growing up. Darn... I got a bowl to go. Portions size was not in line with the price that was charged. I was starving after this bowl. (-2) They were out of Chicken during my visit. (-1) Employees were very detail in explaining that they were out of Chicken, how the system works, etc. (+1) Good customer service, expensive food. I wanted to try this chain, and I did. Just on the price alone, I would not be returning. Sorry. read more

The service at this CAVA forced me to Yelp for a review. Left about 30 minutes ago. The three ladies working were so friendly and kind and make me feel so welcomed! Took their time with suggestions and the food was super delicious. First time at CAVA and definitely won't be my last. Thank you! read more

Cava has been our favorite go to meal for awhile now but as good as the meal already is, it is so much better when you get the toasted pita chips to eat alongside it! The staff here was patient and able to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our dinner here and we will definitely be back ! read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - La Habra, California

I would give this location negative. What a horrible experience today. I goto three different Cava locations. Unfortunately today was this location. This is the worst one slow and food is not always consistent. And staff here are horrible and today provided it. But it was late so I went and got my regular deal it was time to pay and I asked the agent to assist with my app as I been having login issues. She said to call the number and to my knowledge I didn't see a phone number on app so I asked for the number or their manager, she said she is the manager and nothing for her to do as I needed to find it myself. I find it funny that I am at their store and the manager is telling me they don't have the contact for me to resolve the app issue for their own company. I asked for their GM refused and it took them 20 min to get me a email support@cava. The worst part was they refused service to me and I ended up not being able to get my dinner. I will not be going to any Cava and will share this really bad experience with all I run into. I know this location staff is the issue and has been as I have been a regular to this location. There were other issues that was inappropriate as well. DO NOT GO TO this location. Have have inform the CAVA corporation to review this location for further investigation as well. Also, just noticed an associate send me a message. Would you know read more

The employee was really friendly and upbeat, just like the one in Fullerton. She also reminded me about the upcharge for the braised lamb, which is always a kind gesture. The canned water is also great, and I would choose Cava over other fast food and fast casual dining options. The sauces taste just right, a bit tart, and even though I usually don't like food when it's too saucy, I couldn't go without the red pepper hummus and the green stuff. There wasn't much of a line, but I'm sure it gets packed! It looks and feels very clean, so I'm glad they opened last November. I haven't tried any of their drinks yet, but plan to in the near future. read more

CAVA *August 16, 2025 *7pm- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Moderate Sized Parking *Busy *Take-Out Food/Drink: *Greens + Grains Bowl: Romaine, Saffron Basmati Rice, Tzatziki, Red Pepper Hummus, Roasted Eggplant Dip, Grilled Chicken, Falafel, Pickled Onions, Tomato + Onion, Fiery Broccoli, Pita Crisps, Lemon Herb Tahini, Free Side Pita Stopped by for take-out on a busy Saturday evening. The place was crowded, but service was still efficient and my order was ready on time. The Greens + Grains bowl was fresh and flavorful, with a good balance of toppings and protein. It was my first time getting the red pepper hummus and eggplant dip, which were great! Looking forward to getting those sides again! One downside was that not everyone in my party received their side of pita, which was a little frustrating. Overall, a solid spot for customizable Mediterranean meal. read more

If I could give the service here 10 stars, I would. Out of 5, I give the food 6 or 7. It's pretty spacious in here, the soda and juices section is always very neat and clean. Good amount of booths and tables for dining, and if it's full, there's plenty of seating outside as well Staff is phenomenal and helpful. Nicest and sweetest people I've had the pleasure of being served by. If it's your first time they will gladly walk you through it. They serve bowls, pitas, and kids meals. The juices are all made in house, love that. If you haven't tried CAVA yet, this is your sign to go in and TRY IT. read more

What excellent service. I came here after a long shift, and the hospitality j was given... exceptional. Sienna, Cam, and Becky. Wow I don't think I've ever been treated as well. These three lovely women would be better off at a 5 star hotel. Give them a raise. Seriously. read more

Stopped by on a weekday for a late lunch and it was super busy but so goooood! It did take long to get my food, could be because of the lunch rush but also because it's a new place still trying establish an efficient flow of service. Servers were friendly but definitely stressed due to the crowd, I felt bad. It was difficult to see what the choices were for building your own bowl because they are on the windows separating us from the food and in tiny font. You couldn't see the options until you were already supposed to order so that maybe could've been why the line was getting backed up too. I ended up building my own bowl and here were some of the highlights. -Grilled Chicken: Super flavorful and was good on its own, sauce not necessary! 5/5 -Harissa Dip: It's pretty spicy but very tasty! Kind of tastes like sun dried tomatoes but with a peppery kick. 4/5 -Schug: I wasn't a huge fan of this, too much parsley flavor. I like Luna Grill's better. 2/5 -Pita Chip strips: These added a nice crunch to the soft ingredients of the bowl! 4/5 In regard to presentation... -I do wish they gave more of the dips and put them on the side because they get lost under all the ingredients and get mixed in. You can't really dip pita bread in it. -It's always great having options but it's a little overwhelming at this place! Too many ingredients, you start to get lost in all the various flavors and can't really identify what you're even eating anymore. I'd probably get less ingredients next time. -I had a hard time eating this because it overfilled with so many ingredients, it either spilled when I mixed it or I got too many of one ingredient in the bite because I couldn't mix it properly. Maybe that's a me problem though! Overall, I definitely understand the hype around this place. I really enjoyed my food, the flavors were great even if a bit overwhelming! I hope this new location and the company itself work out their kinks though because it's got so much potential. read more

I didn't get the hype and everytime my husband orders cava, I'm always whatever with this place. Until one weekend while house hunting and now I found my go to order! Cava reminds me of chipotle back in 2009. I just hope it doesn't die down! I finally did my order and my recent order is the greens and grains with hot honey chicken. I add the broccoli, onions, cucumbers, corn, lettuce, with my dressings and sauces on the side cause sometimes I don't like too many sauces lol read more

My nephew invited me to try this mediterranean salad bar to hangout and it is much much better than Chipotle.. good quantity on the protein servings (got chicken) lots of different toppings you get 3 different sauces though it is a small scoop of sauce but it is 3 different scoop.. you get a free pita bread (a small one) but the salad is delish and on the healthy side. service is satisfactory despite of the other staff busy chit chatting.. ambiance is welcoming very spacious inside and good parking.. will definitely come back. read more

Finally got around to trying Cava which from what I heard is a Mediterranean Chipotle. This location is in La Habra in a bustling shopping and dining plaza. Parking is plentiful but can be busy. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and falafel with basmata rice and lettuce as the base. There are plenty of toppings such as roasted corn, pickled onions, hummus, tomato + cucumbers, pita crisps etc. They also had juices and drinks available. Seems like a popular takeout spot as well. Service was nice and friendly. read more

CAVA - Grilled chicken/falafel bowl with rice & lettuce, steak bowl with supergreens - Salad Near Me - La Habra, California

I would like to leave a review about one of the employees working at the La Habra location. We visited on Mother's Day, May 10, around 9:20 PM for a to-go order. When I checked a bag because I thought it was my order, the employee responded with a very unpleasant attitude, saying it was not mine while making a rude facial expression. Instead of helping politely, she seemed irritated and avoided eye contact. On top of that, our to-go order was not even ready yet, and while preparing the food, she handled the bags and containers very roughly -- slamming and tossing things around in front of customers. As someone working in customer service, her attitude and professionalism were honestly very disappointing. I do not know if this was personal bias or discrimination, but the experience made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I hope management takes customer service and respectful behavior more seriously. read more

I love Cava!! Omg, if you hear it's like chipotle that's true, but here it's Mediterranean flavors. The staff were friendly when we visited, and provided all patrons complimentary pita bread. I got my bowl with lentils, greens, falafel, roasted veggies, hummus, and a variety of toppings. Such a great bowl that left me filled, without feeling bloated. There's plenty of options, and what's great is that if you are vegetarian or vegan, you can eat her comfortably. read more

Review is based only on a gift card purchase. I needed to purchase a gift card from CAVA but had only ever been to the CAVA location in Brea. Good thing I searched for locations and realized that this location was in the area I was going to run errands over the weekend. The other option was to purchase an online gift card, but there are times when a physical gift card is just a bit more handy. They open quite early, at 10:45 am. I stopped by a little before 11 am, and there was plenty of parking in the lot but I am sure the lot gets packed closer to lunch or dinner. This was also a first time gift card purchase for me from CAVA. Only one of the doors was unlocked and a few customers inside for the morning. I was able to purchase my gift card quickly and be on my way. I did not order any food today, but will most definitely the next time I am in the area because it is delish! read more

The food is just terrible My plate that i got served to me got served with extremely crunchy rice and extremely chewy STEAK and on top of that they removed one of my favorite items the SWEET POTATOE it was such a great addition to the plates i think a manger should always be present while employees serve customers thier food because the crunchiness and chewiness of the steak and rice was litterally uneatable read more

Just ordered a steak harissa and got an avocado harissa, tried to swap once the bowl was made and the lady at the front register was very rude, lady wouldn't want to swap out the bowl, after an argument, she agreed to swap the bowl and was given the correct bowl with about half the portion compared to our friends, check my pictures for portion difference. I also payed about +90 dollars for 4 bowls. Just disappointed in the whole experience, usually have a great time here, just not tonight. read more

The food at cava is phenomenal. Always our choice when we need something quick and convenient. Unfortunately they started skimping on their portions or they are often sold out of many toppings. The workers don't seem happy to be there either, often don't seem interested in being friendly, as if they hate their jobs. We only return because we love the food. read more

First experience at Cava, it was pretty terrible. To set the scene, I was second in line behind a group of two ladies. Workers, right away, asked us to wait and began working on mobile/delivery orders. 8 of them to be exact, I had plenty of time to wait and count. A worker told us they would be right with us, then proceeded to made themselves a bowl and leave. Finally it was the people in lines turn, so they served our base, sauce and protein. Completely stopped working on our plates, and our plates just sat there. And sat there.. and sat there. The manager came out, got on the POS and left to the back. 10 minutes later I asked for them to give me fresh protein, something warm at least. They responded, "it's an extra charge". Hungry and annoyed, I just let it go. I walked in at 8:20 and my bowl was completed at 8:45. Again there was just 2 parties in line. Why I didn't leave, I don't know. My total was $25, for a cold bowl of average food. First time, and last time. read more

Came here for the first time wasn't sure where the line started as I'm used to how it was when it was blaze pizza so the line starts not when you walk right in the front but on the other side where it used to end and really it is slot like a Mediterranean version of chipotle but I personally was not all that impressed with the food I got the saffron rice which was really stuck together so it was like clumps of rice balls but there were definitely plenty of healthy options like veggies and stuff I just think it's not my cup of tea .. I would say overwhelming on the options and underwhelming at the same time because of here are soo many options I feel like the flavors were very sour and I usually like sour but this time it was too sour I guess read more

It's always something at this cava, I blame the managers in charge not the young kids who are working the line. Every-time I come I'm always waiting for something, I get actually very disgusted when I see them add the cucumber or pickled onion because they never let the water drain before adding them and your bowl gets soggy which is very unpleasant. Staff needs to be taught that they should be making bowls they would eat themselves.
