First time at Cava! A friend recommended it since I was craving something healthy. The line was pretty long, but I stuck it out, and it did not disappoint. The mix of greens, protein, and toppings was so well-balanced. Everything tasted super fresh, but the real star was the yogurt sauce--it was so bright and tangy! If you're looking for a fresh, satisfying meal, this is the spot. Five stars! read more

CAVA is another 10/10 spot and they definitely are worth coming back again! So it was time for lunch and I was ready for some Mediterranean inspired food. They are a chipotle but Mediterranean inspired food . You order the base plus protein plus sides toppings and sauce and dressing. I ordered the chicken bowl with a mix of rice and veggies and a gazillion sides and dressings. Food is so good! Like very flavorful and every bite is a party in your mouth! I was so happy and look forward to trying out their other bowls . Magnificent and highly recommended!!! Cava you're the best !! Customer service was top tier as well. read more

Food is amazing, I usually make a it a chicken bowl Service: 5/10 during school hours it's super busy, may take about 30 minutes or sometimes more of a wait time, they need efficient and sufficient staff for busy times. read more

Super upset. I ordered a pre-configured CAVA bowl (lamb meatball) for $18. They had to substitute the lamb for something else. And the avocado was included in the preconfigured bowl. Yet my bowl cost $23! I complained At the cash register. And he dropped it from $25 to $23. Not right. I would have further complained but there was a long line behind me. NOTE: I rarely give any place a 1 star or even 2 star. ... still upset! read more

I love this place but unfortunately they missed on our delivery order big time. Ordered bowls that were supposed to come with the sauces we selected, but they were missing from our order. We also paid extra for the sour cream chips and didn't receive those either. It was really disappointing since I was genuinely looking forward to this meal. Hoping for better accuracy next time. read more

Super gross! I found a hair in my bowl! When I went there ordering food, people working there had bad attitude... What's worse, I got over charged for something i did not order. I wouldn't even have got a refund if I didn't ask for the receipt and looked closely! The person tried to argue with me and didn't even apologize until the manager fixed it for me. Usually I like the food at Cava, but I will not go back to this location!!! I recommend you all go to a different location. read more

I really have enjoyed cava and have been able to visit a few different locations and have orders delivered to my office with no problems. However, my recent visit to cava at the USC village was not so pleasant. The line was long, but I was free that day so I waited patiently and took my time deciding what I wanted to order. When I got to the front, I was ready to order the falafel bowl and figured it would be a simple order and ordered it as is on the menu. The employees on the assembly line were moving quickly, trying to get the line to move as fast as possible, which I understood, but I noticed that as the gentleman was quickly making my bowl he missed a few key ingredients so when my bowl arrive to the middle person for the dressing, I let them know that my bowl was missing the feta cheese and the corn that I had asked, and the pita chip on top. The young woman was annoyed and did a side roll with her eyes and was very annoyed that I was asking for these items. I understand the person before was supposed to have completed this task, but they disappeared when I wanted to bring it up then as she was reaching for the pita chips, there were no more so I said I could wait. I get to the register and the young man at the register said well it's gonna be a while and I said it's OK. I can wait. I'll wait on the side. There were a lot of people waiting on the side so I figured it would get done, but unfortunately what ended up happening was as the minutes ticked and passed. I continued to be ignored. I noticed the pita chips were pretty much done after about 10 minutes and that people in the line we're getting their chips, but I still didn't have mine and when I tried to interrupt the gentleman at the register, he was so overloaded with orders that he continued to ignore me so after about 15 minutes I left. Overall, I didn't think that it made sense for them to ask me to wait if they were not going to eventually get back to me. Also it probably would've just been easier for them to give me an extra pita or large pita chips or some sort of complementary item given that they felt that they could not produce what was needed for the salad that I paid for. Overall, I love the salads, but the customer service at this site felt poor, unprofessional, and unwelcoming. read more

CAVA - Falafel salad with no pita chips :( - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came on a Saturday for lunch. It was on the busier side but still very manageable. The lines moved fast. They were out of the roasted corn though but besides that, no complaints with service or food. We found a table outdoors and were able to enjoy our meal there. From the reviews, it seems like weekdays are swarmed with customers, especially USC students. Weekends here at USC Village is nice because there's CAVA, Trader Joe's, and Target here and there's 2 hours free parking! It is still busy but I love having all these places near each other for easy errand running. Two hours free parking makes me be super efficient. read more

Love CAVA! It is a go-to whenever I am traveling since I do not have one back home. Service was fast and easy, and the portions were generous. I had heard this location can get busy, but on the Saturday morning I visited it was quiet. Delicious and healthy food that never disappoints. read more

I love cava and am so happy that there are so many locations in Southern California now! The service is usually pretty fast and the quality never suffers. I usually get a salad bowl with falafel, red pepper hummus, harissa and tzatziki, all the veggies, pita crisps and tahini. The falafel is always warm and crispy. The flavors continue to complement the ingredients in my bowl. It lasts two meals and hits both times. Affordable and delicious. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it! read more

Cava USC I know yall done lost it giving people a little bit of food in their bowls. These bowls cost almost $20!! There's no way we should be asking for extra rice and you guys charging. The bowl was damn near empty like somebody had already eaten out of it when I went to pay. This must be a part of the gimmick to make people pay extra smh The ambiance here is weird too because the employees have okay service but some of them have bad tudes. The picture is after I added more rice smh read more

worst experience! visit store 3620 Oleander Dr with my family and had a few questions for a staff membet regarding new protein. However she short answer me and proceed to state she didn't care if she wasn't helpful. I asked for management Julie which she was not very helpful she interrupted me when I was explaining the incident and refused to give me corporate information until officers arrived. This is my first time visiting this location. DO NOT VISIT THIS LOCATION! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by today's visit to the Cava - Novi location. It appears that they've worked out some of their customer service issues along with food availability like many other reviews flag. Kayla and Lexi were able to answer all of my questions and provided me with an excellent experience. If you're on the fence is say give them another shot and hopefully Kayla or Lexi are working! read more

Had heard that cava was similar to sweet greens so wanted to try it when I was visiting LA. We found out there was one at the airport and decided to try an LA exclusive over jersey mikes. There was only about 5 people infront of me but the line was crazy with online orders or so on, so it felt like a lot longer. If I could do it again I would do the online order as it was a lot of waiting that I didn't expect. They also messed up my order as I ordered a harissa avocado which comes with standard chicken but for some reason they gave me steak, they did quickly fix it when I asked but it as a bit annoying. I get to be expected with airport service . Cava is located in a a sort of food court with lots of open tables with multiple restaurants in the same area. Overall it was good, and I would try it again at a non airport busy spot as it would probs have better service, no diss it's just to be expected at a busy airport. read more

This is by far one of the worst locations I've been to. The staff here always look miserable and act like helping customers is a burden.On top of that, the portions are consistently terrible. They skimp heavily on serving sizes, especially when ordering online. Every time I've ordered a bowl through the app, it arrives with barely any food in it nowhere near the amount you're supposed to get. Considering how pricy the food can be, it's unacceptable to be paying full price and receiving what looks like half a serving. Between the rude attitude from staff and the constant issue with portions, this location clearly doesn't care about customer experience. I would absolutely not recommend coming to this location if your in the mood for cava read more

Very long line but the line goes pretty fast. Just be patient, it will be your turn very soon. If you never been there, you must try their pita wraps. You can create your own too! Very limited spaces inside the restaurant, but there are plenty of chairs table tables and outdoor seats. Very nice area to enjoy your pita wraps and bowls in their outdoor. read more

Rude staff, skimpy portions, long wait times Food: Smallest portion of the protein. Definitely a scam! I have been to this place 2 times and both times, they under serve you drastically. I have been to many other CAVA's and this is by far the worst one! CAVA's known for their protein, but they barely give you a full scoop here! Such a disappointment. Staff: Rude and slow. I was clearly being underserved my portions so I asked for a little bit more, but the lady just said that I'd have to pay extra. She also rolled her eyes. They are also SO SLOW!! 10 people ahead of me and waited 35 minutes. How is this possible??? Overall, such a terrible experience here. There's so many other places to eat in the area, so just skip this CAVA. Usually, CAVA is my go-to, but not in DTLA! Also, there was a strand of hair in my food. read more

I usually love CAVA, but today's order was extremely disappointing. The packaging for delivery was terrible (see attached photos). The food arrived completely cold, bland, and honestly inedible. It was also missing my pita bread, and for some reason, it was unusually spicy. I tried calling the store, but no one answered. Overall, a very bad experience, I'm really disappointed. read more

First off, The food here is amazing! Healthy and delicious. But so far both times that I've eaten here I've had problems with the service. The first time I came here with my girlfriend. It was busy at the time and she felt rushed so when they asked her what two proteins she wanted she could only decide on one. But instead of offering her both portions to be the same protein or just giving her two scoops of the same, the server only gave her one portion. I was ahead of her in line so I didn't see this happen but when we sat down to eat I looked at her bowl and it was significantly smaller than mine and she told me what happened. I paid for a full bowl but she received half. The second time my girlfriend ordered a bowl for me when I was recovering from surgery. When the food arrived neither of the two sauces that I wanted were in the bag and neither was the free pita. Sauce is a big deal with these bowls! It's half the flavor! The sticker on the bag lists both sauce sides and the pita so whoever packed the bag just wasn't paying attention. Again the food here is great and if you walk in and pay attention to what they are doing you won't have either of these problems. I'm just a little disappointed that both times I've eaten here I paid for something that I didn't get. read more

I LOVE Cava, and I normally have a good experience at other locations. I placed an order on 9/4/25 and received my bowl with a minuscule amount of rice and greens. I understand that bowls will vary- and that it gets busy. However for the price that I am paying, I do expect a full bowl. So disappointing! read more

Ordered here tonight and found chunks and chunks of plastic in my bowl. I called the location and was told I was the second person to call tonight. I suggested they take my name/order down to compare to the other persons to figure out where the plastic was but they didn't take my info. On top of that they gave me wrong toppings and I was missing some toppings, dressings and my order of snacky pitas. My last order had a hair and I just let it go. This is just a mess and gets worse every time I order. read more

this location is trash. I was served hard ass lentils. the worst falafel ever. who ever was cooking tonight, total disappointment

This is the worst cava location I have ever come across. Do not order delivery from this location. They will literally scam you with the portion size. If you go in person, they'll fill your bowl up. If you order delivery, the portion size is unbelievably small. Not worth $20 at all. read more

Careful ordering from here, it took them 48 minutes to prepare my order, on top of that they didn't give my free pita, I ordered full portions and as you can see in the picture it wasn't even half the bowl, when I go to the one in Hollywood I never have an issue portions are full and in timely manner, this is the worse location thus far, the rice was white and meat was cold as if I got the scraping of the pans, very disappointing, it's time to give Cava a break this put a bad taste. By the way the place has no parking nearby it's either under target or far away in the street. It's so crowded with students read more

I love CAVA's food but this location has bad service. My online order sat in the corner for 25 minutes before I had to ask if it was mine because they kept skipping over it and grabbing random online orders in no order to put out on the pickup shelf. Had to ask the employee multiple times if I could get my order that already was supposed to be done. Food was cold when I got it. They seem to have a pretty disorganized online ordering flow is all. read more

I put an online order for a Harissa Avocado bowl and they only put 4 pieces of chicken in my bowl !!! My bowl was half empty! I paid $23 for a half empty bowl, when I talked to the staff about it they were beyond rude and rolling their eyes. They wanted to charge me extra for more protein. It's ridiculous, this CAVA location is the worst they have. USC needs to do better and get rid of this franchise or tell them to step it up. read more

Quality control was the issue. This place has good food, but is only good when you order in person. Ordering for delivery has been terrible each and every time, for whatever reason. I've ordered many many times, different locations, for years and it's always wrong. Recently had a large group order with 9 orders and they messed up the labeling on the bowls, and one wrap was given as a bowl and one bowl was done as a wrap... It was a mess. I don't recommend ordering from cava for delivery. Go there in person and that's it. read more

Busy as hell.. and its slow as hell but I mean its good as well. So that's it. Insert your typical CAVA experience.
