Location, location, location! This is basically the Mediterranean version of Chipotle--build-your-own, assembly-line style food--but damn, is it delicious! You get a really good portion for the price, everything comes out quick and fresh, and it's fast food that actually tastes GOOD. After many visits to the Rialto location, I can confidently say this spot has had the best customer service compared to the other locations I've tried. Friendly staff, clean facilities, and consistently good food. I love this place, but I especially love this specific location. And especially compared to the Chino Hills location at The Shoppes... That one? Don't bother. read more

CAVA - Pita Chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

Met a friend to get late lunch! This is my 3 rd visit ! The first 2 were a to go order! This time I am dining in!! Dining area not kept clean! Some tables were not wiped down after use! Floor area had some food scraps and pieces of paper !!! Food I ordered was The glazed salmon Goddess??????? It was a joke a skimpy portion which wasn't worth the $17 i paid for !!! Salmon was very very dry that seems to be the last one in the batch that was in that warm container for a long time so it was getting overcooked !!!!! I am never coming back if this is how they serve the portion now !!! Overpriced indeed ! Customer service wasn't friendly while serving!!! read more

There's a ongoing trend in restaurants to use the assembly line model, dating back to early Subway. In recent years, places like Chipotle and Baqba and Poketology and Cafe Rio have used the model to great advantage. Cava, a Mediterranean restaurant, is using the same model for customers to create their own bowls or falafels. Unlike Mediterranean restaurants like The Kebab Place, the customer moves along the assembly line and chooses the contents of the meal. My staple is the falafel wrapped in a pita. My wife likes stuff in a bowl. There's a soda fountain and various Cava-mixed original drinks like "strawberry-ginger." It's all yummy and moderately priced. The Rialto location has many tables, some booths, but mostly two-seaters. There is ample parking in the mall parking lot. If you like dessert, try the popular but expensive ice cream two doors down or the yogurt shop just across the way. read more

I just left the gym and felt like I was starving, thankfully there was a Cava in the same shopping center. I showed up at 1020 embarrassed cause they close at 1030. I asked the night crew if it was ok for me to still order and they were so welcoming. They were cleaning the dining area and soda machine so I definitely didn't ask for a drink because I'm sure they were tired from such a long day. They took my order in such a sweet manner. Not upset at all because of the time. I hope they have the best life God can provide for them. These employees here on Wednesday Sept 23 at closing take pride in their job, and I hope the right person reads my review and rewards them. Thanks guys I can't wait to get home and enjoy my dinner!! You guys are awesome! read more

CAVA - Deliciousness!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

Soooo good! I got takeout and brought my food back to Redlands and it was super fresh and delicious! Cava is always a solid choice with great service, super clean interior, and amazing food! The pickles were on point and the chicken was super fresh. I love the crunch in my lettuce and the hummus and feta were awesome as usual. I really enjoyed the lavender lemonade!!! read more

Stopped by this location on our was home from Lake Arrowhead , there was no one in line, so it was super quick to place our order. There's so many fresh options of sides, proteins, sauces...their bowls are super filling and delicious! It wasn't a super busy day so there were plenty of seating options available, they also have outdoor seating as well. There is a huge parking lot, so that's not an issue. The establishment was very clean, the employees weren't the friendliest but they weren't rude either... read more

CAVA - Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

This food has flavors that compliment your palate! Upon entry, there is plenty of spaces to sit. The representation greet you, smiling. As my first time, I asked many questions and received answers. I was met with kindness, explanations and options. From different green blends of veggies, to an assortment of meats, rice and flavor options both to eat and drink.(I personally tried the lavender tea and loved it) Imagine a large salad, with added burst of flavor! If I were to complain, it would be for the prices. I spent $25 easily on my meal. The portions were not large enough for that price. Overall, busy spot, not too loud, open seating, a bit pricey. I had 2 lamb meatballs and about 4 tiny pieces of steak. Parking was easy. This restaurant is located with the Plaza, easy to find by GPS. There are plenty of seating, with the option to dine in or out. Would return but more of a once a month treat due to cost. read more

The bowl portions are tiny, food was lukewarm. The service at this specific location is horrible. The girls serving there are incredibly rude and just look at you like you're dumb when you ask for something. Overall will not return to this location read more

Idk about the price but the bowl was delicious and I'd honestly come back again! Service was good. Staff were attentive and respectful throughout. The place is super clean and there is ample siting. They have a lot of options and the process is pretty simple. Looking forward to coming back!! read more

CAVA - Saucy Mediterranean bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

Cava is always delicious but this time Julian and Jane hooked me up with a free strawberry drink for a little wait. Staff is always so kind and helpful. read more

Walked up to order and didn't get a greeting, just an "and for you," which felt kinda off. Pretty sure it was a manager or lead too, which made it more disappointing. That said, the bowl was still good and tasted fresh. Dining area was clean and quiet which I liked. Overall food was solid, just wish the service matched it. read more

Idk why I coming back with how tiny the bowls are made. For the price you get like a kids size bowl

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! Lots of options for vegetarians and nonvegetarians. The roasted vegetables are also a delicious main. My husband loves any of their chicken options! So many options to choose from to make a delicious entree. Whether youre looking for a salad, a grain bowl, a pita sandwich, you really cannot go wrong! read more

Visited yesterday (5/23) & the staff was super kind even with people sounding pretty rude/demanding behind me in line, they handled them well. Quality is good & veggies are always fresh here as well as the sauces they don't skimp on when you ask for extra. Definitely will be back. :) read more

This is my first negative experience with this Cava. What's really upsetting is I paid for delivery and service fees and had to drive there to get my order fixed because of the order is placed online they can't refund it and I still have to contact customer support for a refund. I was not happy with the food. When they remade my 2nd bowl, something in it was spicy or peppery. read more

CAVA - Inside of restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

This was my first visit to this Cava location. Plenty of parking and a good amount of seating inside, but some of the tables were dirty, some food dropped on benches. Now I get that it gets busy, but then you have to have one dedicated person to clean. I got a Greens and Grains bowl with chicken (12.95). The ingredients were fresh, the chicken well seasoned. A small drink is 3.45, so I paid 17.67 after tax. read more

Service is great--fast, efficient, and friendly. The food was delicious, and the value is amazing. We ordered the kids' meal because the portions were already huge. My son loves their food so much that he actually introduced it to us and even showed us how to order in a way that saves money. Check the pictures later and you'll see how generous the portions are. Taste-wise, everything was great. The only small thing for me was that the crispy pita was a bit salty--but that could just be my personal preference. Overall, I highly recommend this place and we'll definitely keep coming back. read more

FINALLY, the IE gets a taste of the Mediterranean magic that's been hiding out in the OC! I stopped by CAVA in Rialto, built my own bowl, and I swear the spicy chicken and spicy lamb left me speechless. Everything was chef's kiss perfect, from the zesty harissa to the creamy hummus to the tsaziki that strongly suggested me to write this review. The staff? Phenomenal. But let's talk about the MVP: Allysa. She greeted everyone like they were long-lost family and tossed out top-tier recommendations like a flavor fairy godmother. (Okay yes, I may have been her coach once upon a shin guard ago, but I'm only a little biased.) Also, word of advice: Do NOT sleep on the pita chips. They are crunchy, golden triangles of joy. Grab them. Hoard them. Name your children after them 10/10 would recommend. Im definitely coming back to this Mediterranean gem read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl with Pita chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

We decided to come try CAVA but turned right back around and left. After seeing the prices for the portions they are giving. As we can got to a Mediterranean or Greek place and get a way better meal for way cheaper. Thank you but no thank you! Gave them a 3 because the service was friendly and welcoming. read more

I like the digital drive through. Niw what it is, a drive through were you pick up you're online order. There's no menu or speakers to any food. You drive through straight to the windows, tell them your name, and they get your order. My addiction so far are the pita chips, I absolutely LOVE those chips. I get full off the chips alone and have to end up eating my meal a little later. The pita wraps are every thing. Full and not dry, but they fall apart easily because of being so saucy. But yeah, make sure to try the chips when you visit. read more

Awesome food, always fresh and tasty options! Helpful staff and a clean environment! Once a week I visit and trying to figure out how to make some of the items myself! read more

I love this cava location so much! they're literally the sweetest workers ever. I've never had an issue with anything, they're very accommodating and very kind and attentive to customers when taking orders! I believe kim helped me out and she was the sweetest ever! read more

Went to the one in Phoenix, Avondale. Thats the one i like. Food is exspensive but really good. You feel good eating there, no burgers and fries place. Its set up like a Chipotles. I cant get past the Spicy lamb meatball bowl. I always split it and its still enough. I noticed they have some interesting drinks, but i havent had one. Ive been to the one in Chandler, in my opinion not as good. If you dont like one Cava try another site. read more

I've passed by this restaurant a few times and always wondered. From the outside and night, it looks luxurious. It seemed like the kind of restaurant where expensive food was served. I asked a couple of friends if they had been. Only one had. She said it was like Chipotle. I finally went to try it. The inside looks so fancy! The decor is modern and sleek. There's lamps hanging from the ceiling and wood tables. The restaurant was pretty full, with people in line or eating. There was a line but it went by quickly. I got the gist that they serve bowls and pita sandwiches. Once it was our turn, I let the server know that it was my boyfriend's and I first time here. She said it was like Chipotle and that we can choose a bowl or a sandwich. I choose the bowl. On the serving window, there's the choices you can pick, either greens, dressing, protein. I chose the greens and grains (arugula + white rice), hummus, steak, avocado, cucumber, and hot harissa/vinaigrette and a side of pita bread. Avocado is extra. For protein portions, they give a small amount. Considering the price, not too sure about that. The pita is not gluten free. They also offer dessert like cookies and brownies. This restaurant is very healthy option. The staff was very nice and helpful with our questions. The bowl was good but will definitely switch it up next time if I come back. read more

Cava has always been a favorite of mine. Love that they migrated to the IE. Amazing flavors. They only reason I went with 4 stars is because of the service. Not the employees, they're busting ass but there is a lack of employees in the front service part. While I was there I downloaded the app and it looks fairly easy to navigate. They have a drive through window for "digital orders" which next time I will Utilize. The line was very long and slow inside. The girls upfront were hustling and friendly. Again the food is amazing, especially the lamb. The store clean and up to date. read more

CAVA - Amazing flavor. BYO Salad. - Mediterranean Near Me - Rialto, California

This restaurant was a major disappointment. The hummus lacked flavor entirely--supermarket brands taste better. The eggplant was equally bland, which is surprising for a cuisine known for bold, rich flavors. For $13.95, I received a bowl with dry chicken, flavorless sides, and falafel so poor that even my dog refused it. It was nowhere near the quality of authentic Mediterranean food. Perhaps this place caters to restricted diets or customers unfamiliar with traditional Mediterranean dishes, but for anyone seeking genuine flavor, this is not the spot. I cannot recommend it. read more

The service and patience I received at this location was phenomenal! Shout out to Kassy and the store manager Jade (can't recall the name) for being wonderful. This absolutely made up for the negative experience I had at the Cava in Rancho Cucamonga. Thank you read more

My first experience ordering through DoorDash wasn't the best, so I decided to come in person this time. The in-person customer service was much better, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bathrooms were also very clean, which I appreciated. The food tastes fresh, clean, and healthy, but the portions are still very small for the price. Even when asking for extra, they really don't give much. I'm definitely more of a BaqBa girlie when it comes to portions and overall value. The place stays pretty busy, so that says a lot about the popularity. Overall, decent experience, but I do wish the serving sizes were more generous. read more

First time here at CAVA. Got me a bowl with steak, harissa, some hummus, and some skhug. Overall was a decent bowl, had some pretty solid flavors. I think if you compare it to Chipotle it's a little better, not a major upgrade. Steak Bowl: 7.4 read more

Cava !!!! This can be a great place to eat , friendly staff, do homework and mingle with family and friends over healthy food. But.... Can any of the staff and management team help clean up the food bar counter/ tables . I mean one person can clean/ pickup the falling food items left on the counter while another team members serves the customers. I was debating if I should walk out seeing the filth. But decided to place our order despite my better judgement. $100+ dollars later , got home with the take out orders and my mind kept spinning while digging in , I can see this is a great concept, build your own healthy choices , fresh ingredients in a casual setting. 1/4 of the way I could not eat any more, toss the rest of my food in the trash. I couldn't help but felt disgusted with the lack of effort in keeping the area clean. My kids and I were stating how this could be a place for us to frequent if only they maintain the cleanliness . read more

Staff is always super sweet when we come here and quick. For sure one of my go to spots!!

Staff was fast and friendly! One of my favorite go to spots. The place is always clean and welcoming.

Definitely good, I enjoyed my servings etc. but the cleanliness can be better, most tables were dirty, had crumbs from ppl who had ate, trash on the floors, and maybe they can do better with restocking lemonades? Overall I was happy with my food though. read more
