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.

Chicken Bowl

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.

Garlicky chicken shwarma
Nick S.

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.

Grains Bowl

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.

Bowl. $21.91. Braised Lamb and Lamb Meatballs.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

Salad
Randy C.

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.

Grilled chicken/falafel bowl with rice & lettuce, steak bowl with supergreens
Pamela R.

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.

Devyn M.

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.

Peter K.

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.

Food is pretty decent here. I always get it to-go. Sometimes they overcook the grilled fish but…read moreusually it's perfect. But customer service is not great. It's never a welcoming vibe and when I pick up my order. Earlier this evening, the girl working the counter with her RBF completely ignored me as she was doing something and I stood in front of her. Normally, that is fine- I get it, she can only concentrate on doing one thing. Putting something in a bag, and can't say hello or "I'll be with you in a second" but she continued to ignore me for a few minutes and after she called out the order of one person she rudely said "name?" After I told her my name, she grabbed my bag behind her and "plopped" it down in front of me without saying a word. Before I walked away, I asked her if there were utensils in the bag and she turned around and grabbed a set and literally threw it in my bag. Still did NOT say one word! Rude and disrespectful.

The service here is honestly superb, it's fast, efficient, and the staff really seems to have their act together. I'm also a big fan of the layout; the inside is always clean, and the outside patio seating is great when the weather is nice. I think the move here is definitely Taco Tuesday. The tacos are around $3.50 to $4, which is a great deal considering the fish tastes super fresh. They're a really good size, too. you actually feel like you're getting your money's worth. My only complaint is that there isn't enough seating inside for people who want to dine in. It can get pretty cramped, so if the patio is full or the weather isn't great, it's a bit of a struggle to find a spot. Overall, it's a perfect, reliable spot for a quick and fresh lunch.

The sambal chili aioli was a sleeper - it packed in a ton of unexpected spice. Deliciously unexpected. The thick toasted brioche bun also added a layer of sweetness. We ordered the turkey BLT because it was a special. It was, of course, delish, but I should have kept to the tried and trues. I'll definitely be back. Also PSA and order your sandwiches for pickup.

Keep in mind I ordered around 12:50pm and the sandwich was ready at 1:45pm. I ordered the Spicy Gabagool Sandwich, and there were barely any mixed greens as compared to other reviews & the menu photo (I love my veggies)! The meats were yummy, but they did not stand out to me/didn't taste anything special. Unfortunately, the same goes for the bread. However, I did like the packaging of the sandwich and everything in the sandwich tasted well together; the chile spread, burrata, hot honey, pickled onions, meats.. the spice level is definitely tolerable; I didn't need water at all. It was more of a small kick. I also tried their lemon crumb bar and it was very delicious! If anything I would come again to try more of their unique baked goods. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance of the shop. It is quite small and there are many people waiting for their order inside. There is only outdoor seating, which is scarce.

I was not confused to a stupor that left me angry and frustrated, I was left more dazed with swirling lilies around my mind, like I had been hit hard with the staff of a fairy who pays the bills of the forest as an interior designer. The place has a design concept that takes two opposing forces and blends them into a restaurant concept: health forward food for O.G.'s and their like and crew, all while being a love letter to the streets of Los Angeles, the gritty streets, not the ones next to Rodeo. For instance, Cruz, one of the staff members, was wearing a "Straight out of Whittier" shirt that was clear nod to the movie straight out of Compton that was all about the rap and its consequence on West LA homeboy culture. The central mural of the joint showed low-riders, the LA symbol made with finger angles, and graffiti galore. Again, the message was clear this is a health cafe for Tupac and his friends and followers. These two principal ingredients mixing together (health food and LA street culture) at least in my mind, are more the subject for improv comedy than a sensible restaurant concept. I know people can mix what ever they want together, I know that there is choice when people color and dress, but this motif seemed like it was mixing Ninja culture with a dog grooming service. The concept can work, I see a ninja de-worming a golden retriever with swift skill but this concept also seems forced rather than flowing with common sense. So for a health cafe in LA I see Cher from Clueless, or Barbie, being more easily applied to the concept.But what do I know perhaps in a few months will have a Hell's Angel's tea experience that will not be dainty but rather hard like a helmet and it might be the concept that begins a revolution that ends with Hair Salons with Viking culture at its decoration theme. The (health) food in itself was a blessing. My friend Bailey is the healthy eater of the two of us! She got a simple green salad with tofu. I sampled a forkful. My hand had to dig in hard, with its fork, to retrieve the lettuce, the carrot, and some of the pickle, I avoided the tofu. The greens were fresh, and tasted clean in their simple flavors, but what elevated the green forkful to excellence in taste was the sweet mustard dressing. The green had dressing that turned solid greens to yummy ones! I ordered the shrimp tostada. Cruz, came to the table and explained that my plate was Keto friendly, which meant that it was good food for those who were experiencing life as a pre-diabetic, for example. What I loved about this place and its food, was that I did not feel like I was eating healthy and had to sacrifice pleasure in the name of honoring my health goals. Quite the contrary, the food was just plain good food, and for me, eating good clean food, is a fantastic way to keep my health goals on track. Apparently the tortilla was made out of cactus, and that is a why where the healthy stays in tact, while still being food that is satisfying, and, yummy! I would go here again, especially when my health goals are in full swing. This place will facilitate the process because the food was truly good!
