    I'm a big fan of CAVA overall--the food is always flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and I love how customizable everything is. This location delivers on that front: my bowl was great, and I appreciate that they've been more consistent lately with having ingredients in stock. Also, bonus points for super easy parking! That said, the cleanliness of this location really takes away from the experience. Compared to other CAVA spots I've been to (especially in LA), this one feels noticeably dirtier--dusty surfaces, grimy counters, and just an overall lack of upkeep. It honestly kept me from even wanting to take a photo of my food. The staff here is friendly, which I always appreciate, but I really hope they can take some time to deep clean and refresh the space. It's been like this the two times I've gone to this location. The food deserves better surroundings!

    Cava is currently gifting their Rewards members with a FREE drink to celebrate their Cava Amor event where members can get a free drink after 3pm on 7/2 or 7/9 no purchase necessary! I went ahead and tried Cava for the first time. I got an email letting me know about 4 different Fizz flavors they have out now, so I figured I'd try a couple during these nights to see what they taste like in hopes of purchasing more in the future! Unfortunately, the Fizz Drinks aren't listed in the App, so when I placed my order, I had to choose a Large Strawberry Citrus flavor (I really wanted to try Summer Berry Fizz) instead. It was ready in about 10 minutes. I went to the location and they handed me a cup to fill out my drink myself. I asked the girl, "Oh, I'm supposed to make this myself?" She said "Yes." So I went over to the drink dispenser, but none of the flavors I requested were available. No Summer Berry Fizz Flavors or Strawberry Citrus flavors. So I figured just mix my own Black Cherry and Blueberry flavor then and see what happens. Maybe because this is my first time, but it left me VERY confused. If I order a drink (a promotional drink) do I have to mix all the flavors in myself? Are the employees supposed to mix the flavors for online orders or do I still that myself? I guess because my intention was to have one thing and I ended up getting another, it left me very unsatisfied with the ordering and pick up process. Nonetheless, the Black Cherry and Blueberry flavors I mixed together did turn out to be very tasty! So that was a 4/5, but my overall experience, was a 2/5.

    Pretty great value for what you get. I alway opt for the custom bowl. You can get arugala and rice on the bottom. All their toppings are delish. If you come at lunch hour, the line is long, the wait is long. Come before or after peak times. Good healthy option. FYI - there is an upcharge for Lamb.

    Spicy lamb and steak

    Our first time at cava and it was delicious and very fresh! The spicy lamb was flavorful and the chicken shawarma and steak was very tender. All their ingredients were refreshing. We love the garlic sauce as well. The staff helped explain the processes and gave great recommendations. The tables outside needed l cleaning but the inside was good. The lemonades were unique and not too sweet. We paid ~$35

    What is this serving size?!

    Whole new staff? Change in management? Cava has always been a favorite and especially this one as I always found it clean, friendly staff, and a full bowl. My order rarely changes, half rice half splendid greens with chicken, and toppings on top. My most recent visits have been quite dissapointing, portions have significantly cut in half. At first I thought it was an off day but just visited again today and wow I am so dissapointed. If i'm going to spend $13 on a bowl, I'm expecting a fairly portioned out bowl. The staff is basically flinging scoops into my bowl. Rice and the greens? It was a sad little scoop.. okay I guess I dont need that much carbs, but then everything else that follows, 2 half scoops of chicken. and then small flings of toppings of corn cucumbers red onions and tomatoes. They literally flick the spoonful into the bowl that some drop on the other buckets of toppings. Then somene else occasionally comes in to clean up the area which I appreciate. But wow.. Please look at my picture, I get inflation and stuff but for this price and my food that was once filled above the line in the bowl to now what falls below. It looks so sad. But don't worry they are generous with the sauce on top even though I ask for light sauce. Grabbing a spoon to drink my sauce mixed with some rice and chicken I guess. Hope someone in management sees the problem and fixes the portion problems. I most likely wont be returning to this location soon.

    Chicken bowl with pretty much everything

    Gahhh I just love cava. The sour cream pita chips are so yummy. Garlic dressing and shug on the side for life plus this location hooks it uppp. Way better than Laguna niguel cava. One of the tables outside is actually so funky that it feels like you're on a boat

    Steak Harissa
    Vanessa R.

    First time trying Cava and I have mixed feelings. I tried the steak harissa bowl, substituted the red pepper hummus for traditional and added balsamic vinegar. The flavors went well together and I thought the bowl was overall tasty, but the portions were quite small for a bowl costing over $20. I am not a fan of chipotle for the same reason, so I most likely will not return. Otherwise the location was nice and well maintained/ clean even during the lunch rush and the employees were nice and accommodating.

    Every time I go to CAVA it is always a hit with my kids. They order the kids meal and the food is flavorful, healthy, and feel good tasting. The service was great, they were patient with me and helped find out what are the best options. Especially the time I went "Maddi" and some other employees were very kind. She gave us samples to try and she needs a raise! God bless yall

    Salad bowl + cricket!!

    Ordered to go and there was a giant cricket in my salad bowl. Disgusting! I had never ordered from here before nor will I again.

    Chicken and rice bowl which
    Jackie D.

    Decided to finally try Cava after my friend recommended it to me. I didn't want to drive so I got it door dashed. I got a chicken, rice, and lettuce bowl which was so yummy. I customized it the way I wanted it and it was really good! I got a free piece of pita bread with my bowl and all the flavors with the sauces elevated the flavor! Thank you for making such a delicious and healthier alternative to most of the quick derives restaurants.

I was really excited to try the food here with my friend. I was in the mood for whole pieces of chicken and I'm so glad I chose the half chicken plate. The plate comes with two sides and there were a few options to choose from. I selected a side salad and roasted lemon garlic potatoes. I was trying to be a little more healthy. Otherwise, I probably would've chosen the french fries. The dressing on the salad was really good and all of the ingredients were fresh. I really liked the pickled red onions that came with the salad. The potatoes were alright. The plate also comes with a large soft pita. And the garlic sauce was just right with everything .

I'd driven past it plenty of times on the way to the dog groomer and never once felt compelled to stop. Friday night changed that. We were hungry, but not sit-down-for-two-hours hungry. We wanted something better than fast food, but not some overproduced evening of cocktails and self-importance. We wanted food worth getting out of the car for. Rangeen hit that mark beautifully. Getting my wife on board took some work. She's not a curry person. But a few online photos of fresh, vibrant salads were enough to win her over. Inside, the place still showed traces of whatever came before it, a blank quick-serve menu screen hanging awkwardly over the counter, like a relic from another life. But this was table service, and a perfectly comfortable one at that. There were maybe eight or nine tables, and one lone server holding down the front of house. Casual, older, thin, moving with purpose. She greeted us warmly, dropped menus, answered the phone, checked back often, kept the table tidy, and somehow managed to make the whole room feel cared for without a hint of drama. I went for the spicy mango chicken. My wife chose a healthy-looking salad with grilled sweet potatoes, nuts, and all the things I generally avoid unless someone smarter than me orders them first. We added naan, because not ordering naan would have been foolish. The food took a few minutes longer than the impatient part of your brain might expect. But then it arrived, and suddenly none of that mattered. My dish was excellent: nicely seasoned bite-sized pieces of chicken, rice, a fresh side salad, and a spicy sauce that pulled the whole thing together with real intention. And the plating, that was the surprise. This wasn't tossed on a plate like an afterthought from the spot next to the grocery store. It looked like someone actually gave a damn. And that, really, is what stays with you. Not just that the food was good, but that care had gone into it. The ingredients may not have been expensive, I say that as someone who owns restaurants and knows roughly what things cost, but value isn't about raw food cost. It's about what arrives at the table, how it's presented, and whether anybody in the building seems to care if you enjoy it. At $19, this was a steal. For about the price of a drive-thru burger meal, I got something thoughtful, well executed, and satisfying enough to remind me why local places like this matter. And to the party of four next to us who only left a five-dollar tip: do better.
