This was my first time going to Cava and it was amazing!!! The Steak & Harissa was great at the serving size was perfect and I'm a Big guy. the restaurant was super clean will be back for sure.... read more

Fresh, flavorful, and clean Mediterranean food. Seriously, so so good and satisfying. Service was fast and friendly, sort of Chipotle style ordering. Around 3pm, there is abundant seating in a bright, comfortable, sun lit dining area. Parking is plentiful. If you change your mind, Panda Express, Olive Garden, and The Habit share the same car park. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Orange, California

The food at cava is always delicious!! Even though they only recently opened, this location is by far my favorite. Karla is very helpful and super friendly!! She is very positive and definitely my favorite person there. I always crave cava and this place is so perfect and the employees (especially Karla!!) just make it ten times better!! Would give six stars if I could. read more

Great food. Great customer service. Sad to see others not having the same experience but I can't see it. Always a go-to, treat myself lunch spot. read more

It's a shame that the worker's have poor attitude towards their customers. The food is great but never will my family and I return until they can train their employees properly. read more

Glad management took the initiative to staff this place properly! Now that they know this is a high-foot traffic area, I think it's safe to say it's the best bet to invest in your employees who can now prioritize structure and efficiency without having to worry about running out of help. read more

As a lot of folks tend to do, I'm trying to make better choices in 2026. My wife suggested dinner at CAVA, as we were driving around the area. I couldn't talk her into the place I wanted to eat at so we pulled into CAVA. I kept it simple with a Chicken and Rice bowl and we shared a side of pita chips. The bowl was good and those pita chips, holy smokes! Those things are quite the treat. I had some rookie challenges ordering my food but the staff helped guide me along. Once we had our food in hand, we sat down and enjoyed our visit. If I find myself in this area again, I just might pay them another visit. read more

Freaking love cava, but my god the service here is sloww. It's so slow I'm in line right now writing this review. Idk what's going on with this location. They need to step it up read more

Was excited to try this new location. The Lamb meatballs were too salty, greasy and tasted old. Inedible. Rice looked and tasted old too. $20 bowl in the trash since I got it door dashed. Lame read more

Bad customer service, the employee that helped us out was rude and had a mad face . Was rushing us out . Kept closing the lid of my bowl before I was done asking for toppings . I don't know why these employees are in such a bad mood Everytime I come . read more

While ALL of the Cava stores I have visited offer delicious food, this one had the great service to match! The staff were wonderful. Between Natalie expertly greeting me and preparing my order to Kyle cooking up the crisp, flavored cinnamon chips and falafel. I was treated like royally and plan to be back.

Online pickup, order was late by about 15 mins, the location was not busy. Waited for the order, tables that were empty were filthy. Got back home, meat was fatty and portion size smaller than expected. Was hoping for a similar experience to the Barranca location as Im local...but this place has a long way to go. Won't be back read more

Service was good, first time they explained the menu and toppings etc. ordered pita chips, they charged me for them only to tell me that they were out then they told me 2-5 minute wait. said they'd give it to me once it was ready never did. Didn't get a receipt either read more

My friend and I online ordered there and both meals contained falafel. we pull up at 8:05 PM unaware that they were closing early at eight so the workers just stared at us through the window but we already paid for our food and was hoping they could just hand us our orders through the door but no. so as we're standing outside of the store, we called asking about our order. This is when the guy proceeds to let us know they're out of falafel and we're waiting for us to come in to let us know. I was understanding up until the point that he said that they were waiting for us to come in. what's the point of online ordering if you're gonna wait until they're there to start making it, when they had the option to call us and let us know prior. the employee on the phone was rude and just told us to deal with the app for a refund. read more

Tried this location a few times. Food is serviceable; I do appreciate easy access to a lentil bowl. However, the service is incredibly lacking. It is likely the staff will totally ignore you, or otherwise be noticeably rude and impatient. Really a shame because the location of the store is excellent. Hopefully the operators will invest in better training / turnover. After finishing this review, I drove past the nearby Chipotle and there is quite literally a line trailing out the door. Whoever is running this Cava, there is a lot of money on the table here being lost! I would like to spend my hard earned cash on these lentil bowls, but I'll not be visiting for the next few months given my experiences so far. read more

Chill vibes the lead person Brooke is amazing and needs to be promoted to manager, she is perfect

well I wasn't aware that this was cafeteria style dining. you wait in a longgggggg line to inch your way to order your "bowl." The ppl behind the counter are frantically bustling and running and shouting and it's not a relaxing atmosphere. Again to be fair I wasn't aware it was like this my fault too. The bowl was kind of a mess frankly. Just looked like stuff dumped in a bowl helter skelter. It tasted ok. Nothing to pay over $15 for. Kinda disappointed. read more

I ordered cava delivery and they gave me the most burnt pita crisps ever with such a small portion of food

I wanted to update my review. I was right next to this Cava location and starving, so I decided to give it another try. I'm so happy I did! I had a completely different experience this time! I was greeted when I walked in, every employee was super polite, nice, and helpful! I was there for lunch 3/2/26 Great job, I will be going back! read more

The food is delicious. The Chipotle-style "pick your ingredients as you go" process is simple. Customer service is great. But the lines move pretty slowly. read more

Cava never disappoints! Food is always fresh and flavorful. Always made how I want it. Staff is friendly and patient even when they are busy. 10/10 recommend read more

I would honestly give this place one star, however the food itself is actually very good when everything is in stock--and that's the only reason I'm giving it three stars. No matter which location I visit or what time of day I go, there always seem to be multiple items out of stock. Corn is almost always unavailable, and often the cheese, cucumbers, and tomatoes are missing as well. It's frustrating not being able to order the same thing consistently. On top of that, the staff at every location I've been to comes across as lazy, confused, and uninviting. For a chain with so many locations, I don't understand how inventory and basic customer service are managed so poorly. If they could keep items stocked and improve staff engagement, this place would be great--because when everything is available, the food is genuinely very good. read more

Honestly a little bummed. I go to CAVA every now and then, so was looking forward to this one opening up. Just got my bowl. I was scooped a regular hummus and not the red hummus. I didn't fuss about it bc maybe the person didn't hear me. I asked for the hot chicken which would have been a $1.75 up-charge but instead was charged for the grilled steak which is a $3.50 up-charge on the receipt. The line was too long to go back and ask for the price adjustment. So look at the receipt while you're there. read more

Ambiance was nice! Bright colorful & welcoming. Too much staff working at one time (however it was grand opening day). Lines were not bad for lunchtime. I mobile ordered and will NEVER do that again! I'm a huge fan of CAVA and was I disappointed on the amount of food served for a $13 bowl. No number on receipt or on Google to call the store directly. I'll go to NAZ Halal by Target instead better value. read more

CAVA - Grains bowl half rice & lentils, corn, cucumber/tomatoes, grilled chicken, tahini dip, pickled onion & pita strips. - Mediterranean Near Me - Orange, California

Was super excited for this location to open up after family and friends hyped up other Cava locations for me, but was terribly disappointed by shockingly poor service during my first visit. Placed an online order and came in at 7 p.m. (my scheduled pick-up time) and didn't see my bag on the pick-up shelf. Five minutes later, I noticed a bag with my name on it that had been sitting in the kitchen area since before I arrived. This bag was sitting alongside others that appeared complete, so I asked an employee if those bags were ready to go. The employee quickly dismissed me and said that they'd be in the pick-up area if they were ready. Another 10 minutes later, a different employee picked up the bags that had been on the counter since I got there - without adding anything - and started calling names. By this point another 5 people had trailed in behind me and seemed to be experiencing essentially the same thing as me. By the time I got the food home, it was stone cold. I want to give this place another chance since the food does seem like it has potential if actually eaten fresh, but misinforming the people asking about their food while their orders die on the counter in front of them is pretty inexcusable in my book. Both employees I interacted with seemed completely burned out and impatient, to boot. I know this place opened up fairly recently so I'm hoping they can figure out whatever their management/workflow issues are, but it's pretty tough to get over my first experience with this place having to be a reheat job out of the microwave entirely due to poor management and/or negligence. read more

Food was great and the service was excellent. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. Isaac was great with customer service

Very yummy drinks! The guys in front are very nice letting us try for free, very friendly and amazing drinks! Lemonade is the best one!

I was really excited to try this place and I had the worst experience ever. First of all it's my first time here I'm clearly giving a I'm confused face and the person helping me with a F name I can't remember was so rude. Literally worst experience ever and to top it off just poured the red sauce all over my bowl and it got everywhere. Never coming back here again. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Orange, California

Service here is so trash. Since the day they've opened this location I've always dealt with workers who seem like they don't want to be there. Like today , it was busier than usual but thats no excuse to treat costumers like we're annoying you. Not only that, the pita is always hard. The manager also seemed pissed. It's honestly embarrassing, I've never dealt with this service at any other location. But 2 stars because I think they can fix their attitudes read more

Walked in today and Brandon was very helpful and showed me how to make an account with Cava!

Decided to try this place after passing by. Although the selections seem fresher and more flavorful the employees were very stingy with the meat amount. If your paying almost $13 dollars for a bowl you should at least get more than a half of a spoonful of meat. Disappointed. read more

This location is so truss. 21 minutes from the moment i walked in to the moment i got to the register. KEEEP IN MIND they had 4 workers and there was only 5 people in front of me. The girl working the front was working like she was paid to do a sloth cosplay. I like cava but the food tasted watered down (i didn't even know you could do that to a solid). They are out of so many things and have taco bell worker attitude. The space was also dirty( not a surprise). read more

I was there last week (10/28/2025) with my daughter about 2 1/2 hours before closing they were out of almost all the sauces which we found out towards the end of the line. My daughter was upset and not excited about eating her bowl dry. The cashier (Melissa) was so nice and could tell so she said to hold on and she went in the back and made some bottles of their sauces. I think the people behind us in line were equally relieved. At other locations they typically would not do that but Melissa didn't hesitate. I hope management gives her recognition for this and uses this experience as a training tool to the their staff. This is how you provide customer service. We've been to this new location several times and we like the energy of the employees and will be coming back again. read more

Definitely had a lot of staff for opening weekend. That was a bit much, given how many customers were here. But they were friendly and I appreciate that they were ready for a crowd. Good food. Bright atmosphere. We will be back. Ps it's like chipotle style for Mediterranean bowls and pitas read more

I would like to shout out Danielle ,Romeo and Brooke for amazing customer service paired with a phenomenal work ethic. They always help me when I'm super tired after work and it appreciate how kind and friendly they are even though I see them working hard they never skip a beat. I appreciate great service and respect when it's given, I just wish I could tip them.... read more

They were good for couple days following the opening. Then wenta down very fast. Not fresh anymore. Taste bad. I even did not eat my last order, 15usd avg price for a portion deserve something better dont sell trash pls. read more

Great staff and very welcoming! The store manager was so sweet and helped me decide on what to order. thank you jose! (: read more

Extremely disappointed in the portions. The two bowls I ordered were barely half full.

Ordered take out for pick up at 12:45 pm today. Arrived at 1245 pm and waited, waited, and waited. At 1 pm, asked the cashier to cancel order/refund. Cashier had to find manager (Brandon) who told me I needed to cancel on the app. Food still not ready at 1:05 pm when I finished speaking to manager. Left without any food. Will contact corporate for a refund, and hopefully that goes through. Our family is still fans of CAVA - just will not be going to this location. read more

Came in at 3:20 and brought my friend who's never been. The lady taking her order was so rude, 0 customer service. It was awful. Really left a bad taste in our mouth. By the looks of the other reviews at this location, they seem to need a new crew or retraining..... read more
