Ordered 8 bowls for pick up at 12:30pm on a Tuesday. I arrived 10 minutes early, there was a line of 10+ people and 3 people waiting for DoorDash ordered. I let staff know I was there for pickup and they were able to get it ready within a few minutes (and ahead of schedule). Great experience overall! Tables were clean and decent seating. Bowls are on the saucy side I would recommend light sauce. A $20 bowl with a healthy chunk of salmon is honestly not too bad! Parking lot with free valet in the back of the building. read more

I haven't posted a review in forever but I felt compelled to right now. The employee making the bowls was rude and curt (black girl with braces). I didn't even say anything besides what I wanted (in a friendly manner) -- I did not ask questions, did not ask for extras, or be any kind of "annoying customer" holding up the line - I was basically the most unremarkable but polite customer, yet she still had an attitude. Even the guy behind me at the line, when we were both at the utensil area, asked me "Is it always like that here?". I guess he got the same treatment and felt the same way I did. The restaurant was not busy either. It was about 4:20 and less than half full, and there were only 4 of us at the line queueing for food. The employee in question seems to be all smiles and laughs with her coworkers though. I'm docking two stars for that. Another star for being completely out of ice and completely out of utensils until i asked for one. The food was good though. read more

I usually love CAVA but have not had good experiences at this location. During my last visit, the workers seemed put out. I had asked for chicken in my bowl but the workers informed me that they were out of chicken. When we asked how long the wait would be for chicken they said that they weren't making more because they were closing early, it was just before 3pm? The worker then offered the Harrissa Chicken which I was skeptical about because I don't really like honey but they confirmed that it was the only chicken option available. When I got to the check out, I saw that our bowls cost more than normal so I asked about it and they said it was because the Harissa Chicken is an upcharge. I asked that since the worker said there wasn't any grilled chicken available and that they had suggested the Harissa Chicken instead, if it was still an upcharge and they said yes. I didn't appreciate the overall customer service of the experience (it seemed like everyone really wanted to leave) and feeling like I was tricked into an upcharge. I won't be back to this location. read more

This place really is just riding the high of the hype. First off. Looks great, smells good. Now the reason im writing this negative review is because management needs to do something about its team members. I was excited to try this for the first time but.... A) I shouldnt have to wait 10 minutes in line to be told I have to wait 5 more minutes (during my lunch break from work ) that you guys are out of steak. B) you have 6 employees behind the counter. Why is the line moving so slow... what I mean by that is that there is literally no sense of urgency from anyone who is guest facing. Now... im gonna let go of the fact that you charge 1.50 for a dash of greens on a pita. Its ridiculously overpriced. Specially for the portion. Your tables are also dirty and your team doesnt seem to care that you just took in a bunch of sales... and now your guests have to sit on un sanitized tables with trash and crumbs on them. DO BETTER!!! read more

I got a custom bowl with mixed greens, rice, chicken and falafels with a mix of tzatziki and lemon sauce. It filled me up and their pita chips were delicious. Service was decent as it wasn't too busy and ambiance was nice because it wasn't too crowded. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I cant wait til CAVA comes to the BayArea. It was so delicious....runs multiple circles over chipotle, which is gross.

It was my first time at CAVA and I would recommend if it's your first time, to order a bowl odd the menu rather than a build your own (BYO) since it's difficult to predict how the flavor combinations will work together, especially since there are so many things to choose -- a bit overwhelming. But alas, I did a BYO and there were more sour flavors and not enough salty and sweet to balance. I wish it was clearer that when you order half a serving of a protein that has extra cost, they will charge you the full amount (as if you got a whole serving). Perhaps next time will be better. read more

CAVA - Disappointed that even though I got half a serving of braised lamb, I was charged me as if I got the full - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I really wanted to love this place! A few people I know rave about it so wanted to give it a try. Placed an order online, waited past the time it was suppose to be ready and order was still wrong! I was missing the protein (glazed salmon). I'll probably try it again because I do think the bowl would be pretty good but this try not so much. read more

I changed my mind about this location. They've gotten my order wrong twice on my takeout. They're always out of something too. I swear the saffron rice today was mainly plain white rice that clumped together and I asked for yogurt dill sauce on the side and they forgot it. I'm taking a break from this location for awhile :') read more

Really great food! Not heavy at all I got a build your own bowl with chicken and rice read more

CAVA - Build your own with super greens, chicken and rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love cava! We were in the area today 5/23 and decided to stop by when they opened. Very clean location and was able to find parking right up front. Only complaint is they didn't have half of the toppings which was kinda odd. I think it's better to let people know up front instead of waiting until they get to the toppings section which is right before you check out. read more

Great service! Manager was very patient since this was my first visit. Food fresh and reasonably priced! Yummy!!!!

Dimond was so kind and customer service was spot on! was very attentive in taking my order Thank youuu!! read more

I'm a big fan of cava, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Insanely slow service, staff didn't acknowledge me or the girl next to me for almost 10 minutes. Had an order placed to be ready at 8:15. Didn't get it until 8:36. They didn't give me a drink cup with my order, had to wait additionally for that. Tried food in the car and all of it is cold. It looks like I'll have to go to the USC location. read more

Great news! The table situation has been fixed. They now have white stone tops which are very clean. It feels good to eat here again! Food is as good as usual. Updating my review to 5 stars read more

CAVA - Salad Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love you CAVA, please come to the Bay Area! I always describe this as a Mediterranean version of Chipotle, but better. Although it's a casual/takeout chain restaurant, the food and service have never missed for me. This is a non-negotiable must have for me every time I'm in SoCal. My go to is Supergreens and Splendidgreens mixes, grilled chicken, Tahini Caesar dressing, hummus, fiery broccoli, corn, persian cucumbers, feta, tomato and cucumber, and a side pita. Their falafel and spicy lamb meatballs are also quite good! read more

CAVA - Chicken bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Millie, Taia, and Richard the dream team over at Cava helped in fulfilling my lunch order today. Their energy was great and it made me that much more excited for my meal! I ordered the BYO bowl with Harissa Honey Chicken. Chicken was juicy, tender and has a great lil kick to it. I'm the type that loves a colorful bowl so I get all the toppings. Such a plus that Cava gives you unlimited toppings! My absolute fav dressings are the yogurt dill and garlic. Millie also let me try out their skhug and that one might make it all the way to the top of my list as well. All of them are rich, creamy and perfect for any bowl or wrap. Thank you guys at Cava for the amazing service, I am a happy and returning customer for this specific location! read more

I have ordered from Cava many times, and every time something has gone wrong. An item is missing or incorrect, and this most recent order made me completely ill. I ordered a bowl with chicken, vegetables, and rice, and a little while later I was extremely sick. This has been a consistent issue, and it's such a shame because I really used to enjoy the food. read more

I fell in love with Cava while I was in Atlanta. This LA location didn't disappoint. I just wrapped up with an event across the street, and needed to grab a bite. The parking situation was a nightmare, and I had no idea where to park. There was a garage attached to the building, but the attendant said you can't park there for Cava. The workers did seem ever so slightly annoyed that I didn't know what I wanted. I had only been to one in Atlanta, and it had been a while, so I was still unfamiliar with the bowls. Anyway, it was still delicious. I do wish the bowls were crafted in a way where you can see where things are. My bowl felt like it was missing something for there to be a savory/sweet balance the whole time I was eating, and then I got to this last part that had a huge chunk of some sort of garlic-y paste that I would've distributed more evenly if I saw it. The corn pretty much covered everything, but I guess they expect you to just mix it all before you eat. Anyway, the location was super clean. Service was super quick. And there are plenty of beverages to choose from. I'll definitely come back. read more

Travel plans had me passing through LAX on my way back to MSP, and to my surprise, I found myself right next to a CAVA! Let's just say ... goodness in a bowl. I ordered my usual: the Steak & Harissa Bowl (minus the tomatoes) and it was everything. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. CAVA really knows how to deliver bold, satisfying flavors in a fast-casual setting. If you have a CAVA near you, run, don't walk. Unfortunately, Minneapolis hasn't caught on yet ... either they're missing the memo or CAVA is being a little stingy about expanding. Either way, I'll be patiently waiting (and maybe secretly hoping they set up shop in MN soon)! read more

This place probably ruined our Cava experience. I honestly think that if people don't want to work they shouldn't come to work and ruin other people's experience. The gentleman that helped us today, literally didn't want to be there. He made two remarks that just had us like wtf. We were looking at the menu and he said "that's all we have". Once we ordered he said "do you want your pita with your order or not". Mind us this our second time ordering Cava. If he wouldn't have asked us if we wanted Pita was he not going to give us with our order? Anyway the vibes weren't there and we're definitely not coming back. read more

Normally love CAVA, but I just received my order and literally every single ingredient was missing. I ordered a greens & grains bowl with some toppings & sauces and literally got chicken & rice. Not a single green, vegetable, sauce, or any topping that I ordered. Just chicken & rice...and not even the correct chicken. Like just cancel my order, not sure why they'd even send it like that. Also waited an hour for it. Very disappointed. read more

1 star for the food. Cava always taste good! I dont think ill ever come back to this location. We came in after picking up our bib from diplo running club across the street and I wish we didnt come here today. They have 2 doors and 1 was locked so we walked towards the one on the side, before walking in this lady slammed the door open for me then walked away.. thanks i guess? She really didnt have to do that lol. The service was so terrible the worker making our food acted like his job was so hard scooping hummas. Are you really that lazy??? Is working here really a drag?? I honestly started to feel so bad for the employees. Is it that miserable working here? Smh or maybe this attitude is just an LA thing. I would much rather walk a few buildings over to chipotle read more

CAVA - Service sucks at least the food is good! Never coming back - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cava overall is a great place to eat, but this location has been absolutely terrible. The workers have no sense of urgency. The food when picked up is always freezing cold, stale pita chips, and hardly any protein is being put in the bowls. I've had great experiences at other locations, sad to not be able to say the same thing about this one. read more

CAVA - Stale ah pita chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The pita chips are stale and sitting out all day then they serve them. Terrible management. The manager a black woman- very bad attitude and mistreating customers. Raven is her name I believe but she was saying her name "Elizabeth". I'd give this place zero store if I could. This is not the first time this happens. very bad mistreatment and giving us attitude for asking if we can have fresh pita chips. read more

I had such a great experience at CAVA today. Parking was super easy, the restaurant was clean, and even the bathrooms were spotless which already set a good tone. The food was amazing (as always), but what really made this visit stand out was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was patient, friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. A special shout-out to Manny, who went above and beyond for my son. He took his time walking him through the menu, explaining different options, and making him feel comfortable instead of rushed. As a mom, I appreciated that more than anything. It's not often you find great food and exceptional service in one place, but CAVA delivered. We'll definitely be back! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It was really good and fast, dasha helped me with my order and was super nice! Come to this cava

I love cava. 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

It's like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle where you walk Left to right- bowl or wrap? Meat, toppings, sauces. I am a little on the fence as a lot of the proteins (except for the goat?) were at the end---running out-so small portion & cold. Ordered something that was pretty messy which probably affects my opinion as well. I would go Bowl next time. This store was not very clean and made me feel uncomfortable. They continuously had a steady line of people, I would think they could have one more person spraying down tables and seats every hour- and keep the proteins topped up. Meal for 3 plus drinks $60 (drinks were actually great- blueberry lemonade and the Mint limeade?) I would rather have something else for $60. Located at lower end of Sunset-east. Across from Palladium? But okay for hunger in a pinch. read more

The worst experience I've ever had at any CAVA. The customer service was shockingly bad and outright rude. The manager began cleaning, packing up, and draining the drink station well before closing time, making it clear they didn't want customers there. I ordered a bowl and was double-charged for a half-and-half option, then had to beg just to receive a quarter pita. To my knowledge, every other CAVA serves a bowl with at least half a pita included. Nothing about this experience aligned with the brand's standards. The staff's attitude was dismissive and unprofessional from start to finish. This level of service is completely unacceptable, and no restaurant--especially one representing a major chain--should ever be run this way. read more

Some of the worst service a both of the girls were rude and not attendance to us! I believe her name was unique some of the worst customer service I've ever gotten! Also, I believe the Manager was in the back laughing and not being a very good role model! read more

Normally at the office we order from this location on uber eats, we have ordered multiple times until these last two attempts of ordering because cava is fresh and delicious. The portions have decreased never have we once complained about this location but now I am. Also missing ingredients on my usual chicken and rice I love cucumber well this time it didn't love me because it was not added at all. Idk lacks there in this location but they need to fix it asap. It's disappointing paying so much already on uber eats delivery sub charges for us to receive small hand portion food that does not fill up our bowls no more. I tried the cava in Manhattan and no small portions there, but I will probably take my money there. Hope this gets fixed read more

Best bang for your buck out there. Super yummy spices and creativity. It's one of my main go-tos.

Even tho busy employees are friendly. Place could be cleaned more often and restocked but like I mentioned it's busy Cabs is a favorite of mine, with great choices that put out great flavors. read more

Give me 6 months with this place and I'd whip it into shape. It's obvious getting out as fast as possible is more important than customer service and profit. A message to corporate and management. You'd make a ton more money in Hollywood if you trained your staff properly on customer service and just had product on hand. I don't think I've ever been able to identify someone in charge. It's like Lord of the Flies in there. Get someone who does QA in this place stat or you're going to be the next Chipotle. I know you've hired a ton of kids but how come Chic Filet and In N Out manage to create unity and great customer service with these Gen Zers? read more
