    Wasted money, lied about skug being the hot harissa sauce to my brother who got my food.
    Stephanie S.

    Cava usually is a nice place and I enjoy going there and sitting in the clean atmosphere. This time I had my brother go pick up some cava for us. While things were cooked well he clearly asked for the garlic sauce and shug sauce for mine. (He doesn't know which sauce is which because I usually can go order for myself, also HE DOESNT WORK THERE) They lied to him and gave him a red sauce, they lied and said it was shug sauce! I am sensitive to spicy sauces and they put SO MUCH all over it. I do not have a sense of smell, so I gave it a mix since I was willing to try something new, since for some reason the shawarma chicken is gone (mistake since that's one of the best items). My stomach hurts and so does my mouth. There's a CLEAR difference between red and green and even if you're colorblind the sauces have the names written on it!! I don't know if they were having a bad day but that's messed up. It costs so much to buy a fricking bowl and you think it's ok to prank someone? Thanks for the stomach pain that's gunna last a week. Wasted money on food from here. Orange location is terrible!!! Don't go here if you have food sensitivities. I had to look online to find out it was the spicy harissa vinaigrette. The only thing I can say is the line wasn't long but now I wonder way. I love to give good reviews but this is my third bad review I've given. 0 stars wish there was negative stars.

    Honestly I have to comment that it was extremely cold inside. The AC was so strong that I ended up getting sick the next day. I get it that it may be hot to cook but it felt like I was in the snow. Please do something to make it comfortable for the customers too. Clearly no one was eating inside - everyone was scrounging for an outside table. The bummer is these tables are shared with 3 eateries. The line takes awhile, so patience is a must. I feel like the servers were trying their best to move the line through. It starts with choosing either a pre suggested bowl or you can design your own. You can choose your base then add protein and fillings. Don't forget a little drizzle of sauce at the end. Pita bread slice is added too. The flavor was good. Huge portion size (a mini bowl would've been better).

    Food is always so good here! When ordering online, they fill the bowl not like other locations. There is lots of seating room and friendly staff. Love this location.

    Spicy lamb salad
    Morvarid A.

    We got the spicy lamb salad and also built my own salad with all the toppings (skipped the carbs), and everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. The spicy lamb had a nice kick, and I like how customizable everything is: you can really make it exactly how you want. Service was fast and efficient, which makes it perfect when you want something healthy without waiting too long.

    meat found  in my veggie bowl

    I've ordered delivery from here probably over 4 times and it's been good (or so I think) every time except today because I found a piece of steak?? in my veggie bowl. I don't eat meat and some other animal products for health reasons and this is completely upsetting because I haven't had meat in over 6 years now. I requested a refund through the delivery app and only got 5$ back :-) hopefully this can be handled properly and compensated the proper amount, so I can continue to eat here and feel safe knowing my food isn't contaminated.

    Build-your-own bowl with super greens, basmati saffron rice, and chicken schwarma

    Today was Day 1 for this location and I'm so glad I was able to stop in. The energy in there was full of excitement and nerves as they served their first round of meals to guests. Everything went fairly smooth for just being open a matter of hours and aside from the balloons out front and the extra employees and personnel standing around, business went seamlessly. We ordered a build-your-own bowl and a chicken wrap. Both were absolutely delicious and I love all of the customization possibilities with the build-your-own bowl. And of course, we couldn't forget the side of pita. There is PLENTY of parking available right next to them. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Fortunately So Cal weather was doing its thing today and we opted to sit outside. There are umbrellas to shield you from direct sunlight. My only gripe is that there isn't a trash can outside so you have to go back inside to put everything away. I will definitely be back especially since work within walking distance of them. Excited to watch this location grow and flourish.

    They just open one near us and we tried it and we love it, very delish and clean. Kudos to the CAVA staff--they are very friendly and kind. The food is excellent, and the drinks are quite refreshing; my favorite is the cucumber one. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should. The place is also very clean with a lovely ambiance. They truly deserve a five-star rating!

    First time visit. The food was very good and healthy that's for sure. We walked in and got in a long line that moved fast and we got our food and were sitting down in probably 7-10 minutes. We did have to clean our own table and never saw anyone come out to clean tables or anything. We both had a chicken bowl with lots of extras and the prices are ok compared to other places that serve chicken bowls and don't have nearly the amount of food and extras that we got here. There's not much seating here but we did get a booth but every time the door was opened which was constantly you get an ice cold wind across your table and the store. Service was very polite and fast and did not skimp on portion/protein size. The drink i had was the Cucumber Lime drink was incredible. We will defiantly be returning to try something else.

    Horrible customer service! The kid with the tattoos has the worse attitude. My son was ordering a bowl and he asked for corn which you have listed on the menu he replied we don't serve corn. Then after spending $23.44 for a crappy lettuce bowl with a few pieces of steak and a drink and stale pita chips they were out of ice!! Who wants a drink room temp with no ice? Did I mention too they were out of pita bread? They did not offer nor give us the pita bread. This place is also so filthy the tables are disgustingly dirty!! This is why Cava is a rip off. Save your money people!

    Half full bowl

    The serving size is a joke. Both of our bowls were only half full. I have been to other Cava locations and I know this is not the standard. I paid $16 for each bowl. I did a pickup order and never would have accepted them had I noticed the bowls were only half full. Already reached out to customer service. Will not be returning to this location.

    I had a great experience getting food from Joe yesterday! It was my first time in a Cava, so I had lots of questions, and didn't quite understand some things, but she was so patient with me and explained everything. She crafted my bowl just right, even offering a suggestion for what drizzle I should get, as well as the delicious lemonade (both of which I asked for recommendations). Excellent service Joe, I'll be coming back.

    I am super dissatisfied with the results of this location. Firstly, me and my family were not greeted as we walked in and an awkward silence as we were ready to order. When we did order we were highly disappointed with the amount of rice that was given, barely enough to cover only the base of the bowl. It was uneven ratios between me and my family and was told that we need to pay an extra $1.50 for an extra scoop of rice. It soon became worse as they ran out of particular sauces like my favorite the lemon herb tahini dressing and extra toppings like corn, lettuce, mixed tomatoes and cucumbers and so on. As any bowl, we always get a side of pita bread. Unfortunately like the rest of the items they were not provided. We asked for a discount due to the limited options and loss of pita but was only told "no sorry". That was their famous line as they were unprepared and managed improperly. To top it all off, I paid a $4 drink for a cold lemonade. No ice, no lemonade, dirty tables and no warning given. It sucks having a company with great food but poor management. I hope to hear it improve as I will not be coming back.

    Couldn't even finish it, it was not good at all. Soft pita that's suppose to be crunchy and old rice.
    Kandice R.

    This is the worst cava I've ever been too. The chicken was burnt, the rice was old and the pita chips were soft and not crunchy. Believe the reviews, do not eat here!

    Puny portion of awful chicken

This place didn't look like your typical Mediterranean spot, and from the outside it seemed small. But I kept noticing the great reviews, so I finally decided to give it a shot today. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the owner, Ali. He's a genuinely kind and humble person, and you can immediately tell he has real passion for what he does. He took my order and told me it would be ready in about 10-15 minutes, which is exactly what you'd expect for fresh food. I stepped out to the stores next door, and when I came back, everything was ready. Since I'm not very experienced with Mediterranean food, he took the time to recommend sauces and help me decide. I told him I'd be eating there instead of taking it to go, and that's when the experience really stood out. The food was incredible. The chicken was juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked. The rice was warm, soft, and complemented everything really well. On top of that, Ali was extremely attentive--he noticed I liked the pickles and brought me extra without me even asking. That's the kind of detail you only get from someone who truly cares about their customers and takes pride in their food. He came back to check on me and asked how everything tasted. I told him it was delicious, and out of curiosity I asked if they pre-cook their food like most places. He told me, "No, we cook everything fresh to order." And honestly, you can taste the difference. This small restaurant deserves way more recognition than it gets. The hospitality, the service, and the commitment to fresh, made-to-order food really set it apart from a lot of places today. To Ali and his son working in the back--thank you for the hospitality, the conversation, and the amazing food. You truly deserve this five-star review. If you're thinking about trying this place, don't hesitate. I 100% recommend it.
