After a morning hike with my best friend, we decided to stop by CAVA in Whittier, and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional customer service from Angie. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel valued as customers. It's not every day that you come across someone who is not only friendly but also takes the time to make your experience feel personal and enjoyable. As for the food it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. After working up an appetite on the trail, this meal hit the spot. The ingredients were vibrant, the portions were generous, and every bite was packed with flavor. Ambiance inside was a 10/10 but it was a nice day so we decided to eat outside. Between the outstanding food and Angie's wonderful customer service, this visit exceeded our expectations. Employees like Angie are the reason customers come back. We'll definitely be returning to this Whittier location soon! read more

CAVA - Steak and chicken half/half - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

If you're considering getting your next bowl from this location specifically, please go to the next nearest Cava. There are some things I'd like to mention that have already been said in other reviews, if you just scroll down. The portion sizes are ridiculous compared to other Cava locations I've been to. It's almost like a joke to even serve the sorry a** bowls that they do. Make no mistake--this is not the workers' fault. I feel like a lot of the heat gets placed on the workers, but they're only doing what is required of them. It's the managers, the boss, and the team that comes by to train the workers to serve a specific amount of each ingredient. This is a slap in the face. You're playing with people who work hard for their money, giving them ridiculous portions at full price, all to pocket more money. I know there's someone from the business side of Cava on here who responds to these reviews telling us to submit further critiques on their website, but what good is that doing if you still haven't listened to the concerns of your customers and changed the portion sizes? It angers me because I see what this business is doing, and they're doing it right in front of our faces while the workers take the heat, all for extra profit. I'm not f***ing with it. I'm passionate about this review because this feels like straight-up robbery of people's money, and this location does not care. PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT CAVA until this one actually listens to its customers and makes changes. read more

Chicken lentils and super green ! The best food I've already lost 20 pounds with only one bowl. Just kidding but I had a big bowel movement after eating all the shkug. Great service the gentleman filled my bowl to the rim with toppings. The vibe was cool. I appreciate the hardworking staff. read more

CAVA - Chicken super greens lentils - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

Cava in Whittier is a great option if you're craving Mediterranean flavors in a casual, Chipotle-style setting. You can build your own pita, bowl, or salad with lots of tasty options, and the portions are generous. We ordered the steak + feta pita and it was huge--my husband loved it! I went with the steak + harissa bowl and added pickled onions last minute (highly recommend). There's a fridge stocked with bottled drinks along with the usual fountain sodas and juices. We visited during the Saturday lunch rush, but the line moved quickly and the service was friendly. Only downside: the drink machine was out of ice, even after our meal, which was a letdown on a warm day. Otherwise, everything was delicious, and we'll definitely be back! read more

The food is good, but a major concern I have is the difference of portion size between in person and online. In person, the portion of food in the bowl is normally stacked to the brim with sauce touching the lid. Online, way different story. Portion size is significantly smaller and same priced. It's normal to expect your order to have the same exact portion online and in person. That is extremely ridiculous. This has happened twice to me and don't ever order Cava online. I never had this issue with the chipotle next to it. read more

If you're looking for something quick but still on the healthier side, this spot always delivers. The ingredients taste fresh, the portions are solid, and you can really customize your bowl exactly how you want it which makes the experience better. What stands out is the consistency. It doesn't matter which location you go to, Cava keeps the same quality across the board. You know what you're getting every time, and that reliability goes a long way when you just want a good, clean meal without overthinking it. I've been to this location and the location in EL Segundo. Keep in mind it is popular so if you go during lunch rush hours you'll be in a long line. read more

Always clean, efficient, and most importantly delicious! Parking here is hit or miss, but it is worth it. One of my top go-to spots for casual eating. read more

This Cava location is in a busy plaza with a shared storefront parking spots, along with a bigger parking area by Stater Brothers. There are lots of cars hazarding to do pick ups so just beware. As for the food, I ordered their make your own bowl with half saffron basmati rice and half supergreens. My protein was chicken and roasted vegetables, with tzatziki and hummus dips. For toppings, you can go crazy, but I usually get roasted corn, pita crisps, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, and lemon herb tahini for dressing. The bowl itself is very filling and healthy. They have tables inside and outside. read more

My fiancé and I have been fans of cava since we since we tried it out last year and have been content with our bowls that we get. Today we decided to order ahead on line for pick up since we both had to go to work, horrible idea not to mention super disappointing from all the times we had gone in person and seen them prepare our bowls I was excited to enjoy my lunch when I got my work break, i just jumped on lunch was ready and the first thing that popped into my head was "what the fak is this?"the bowl was super small with the sauces hiding everything the amount of salad was less then a snack, I didn't even see any of my meat thinking it was on the bottom I threw on my sauces and notice the first two bites where missing the stake. So I stated looking to see what was going on only to find 7 small pieces of meat. Never been disappointed in Cava till we ordered online. My fiancé also told me her bowl was small. Worst mistake ever. For two bowls came out close to $37 defiantly not that shit again. Maybe it's the location or the workers doing online orders not really caring about why the customers always come back for. Online ordering beware. read more

This CAVA location is great. Love being able to come here for a quick lunch during work. They are pretty consistent every time I go and the ingredients seem fresh. Their bowls are also not overly doused in dressing nor skimping out quantity wise like some other locations (*cough cough* Irvine). read more

I love cava! The taste is always consistent. Relatively healthy with tons of vegetables and good flavor. We came on a Tuesday night for dinner and there were only a couple other people eating. The bench seats inside felt sticky so we didnt love sitting on that but still a good experience as always at cava read more

CAVA - Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

This bowl was so good! I got just a Basmati rice base with Spicy lamb meatballs, harissa honey chicken, sweet potatoes, corn, and extra broccoli! For the dips I chose Crazy Feta, Red Pepper Hummus(for a lil spice to the bowl) and Tzatziki which all mixed super well. For the dress I chose the garlic dressing and that topped it off well! Would recommend this place for a fresher meal than most! read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

I love cava. The ingredients are always so fresh and cooked to perfection. 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! read more

The food is great, don't get me wrong, the drinks are great, but sometimes the staff seems super overwhelmed and it seems as if every time I go in there they run out of meat or rice or something crazy and it won't be ready for another like 20 minutes and I'm just like at this point I might as well just leave read more

My partner is a big fan of Cava so he really wanted me to give it a try. After several visits now I feel compelled to write my review-- I absolutely love this place! The food is great and good quality. My go-to is definitely the build your own bowl so I can add exactly what I want. And we absolutely love love love their pita chips-- delicious! Service has always been great at this location and would definitely recommend over their neighbor, Chipotle any day. read more

The food and ingredients were very fresh. Most of the employees were polite and helpful. This Cava gets busy but everything was fully stock and clean. My only complaint was that the pita chips were very salty. read more

Came back today , new people a lot of changes but on the wrong way, I got 2 chicken bowls , the girl very messy to add the ingredients and the dressing was horrible, the place looks more dirty read more

This place is very close to work , so it's very convenient to order on the app. They do a honest work when it comes to making their orders on time I truly appreciate that. Although , parking in that shopping center is a nightmare . To be honest The food has so much flavor, tastes come together in such ways that makes the meal so wholesome! As a vegetarian , my favorite part about this whole experience is how full I get with great value of vitamins/protein/fiber. Makes me happy that I not only get great flavors in my pallet but worth the meal cost. read more

CAVA - When they say 12:15 pm ! They mean it ! - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

Love me some Cava! I was in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. The whitter location was clean and spacious. The young lady who assisted me was nice and patient as I initially didn't know which bowl I wanted. Cava can be expensive tho, $30 for a chicken and steak bowl is wild, but I enjoyed the food. Pita chips are a great addition to a delicious bowl read more

I used to love cava but this location is not good. I ordered on the app and when I came home with my food my bowl was missing all the toppings. It was literally just rice, salad and chicken. I was so annoyed that I had to go back after having driven home already. The only reason I went back was because my salad looked like iceberg lettuce. Apparently they changed their salad and no longer using the original splendid greens. Im guessing they're trying to save money while still charging customers the same. read more

My first trying Cava. There is just too much ingredients to taste the food and they only give you like a tablespoon of the Hummus. Here was nice. The customer service was nice. The restaurant was nice. The ambiance was nice. Just the food is gross. I have to give it a 3 out of 10 and that's being generous. I will never come back. read more

This place is AMAZING.... Fresh food, healthy, friendly customer service!!! I have even asked about providing lunches to my daughters school and they're willing to work with us just place order and they'll take care of it.... Love Whittier Cava!! As a family we get the bowls and it is 2 meals for each of us... well worth it.... Thank u read more

They ration their portions, making every portion stretch. Bunch of stingy people. Entertained by watching them serve. Stingy, Stingy, Stingy read more

My husband and I ordered takeout from this location for a quick dinner. I ordered the steak and harissa bowl. I added splendid greens, brown rice, crazy feta, red pepper hummus, broccoli, corn, pickled onions, tomato + onion, cabbage slaw, Persian cucumber, crumbled feta, pita crisps, hot harissa vinaigrette, lemon herb tahini, and steak. My bowl was delicious. And I love that I can customize my toppings and dressings. This location is in a cute plaza with a lot of other shops and restaurants. You can easily get dessert somewhere or even get errands done after eating here. There was no line and our order was ready for pickup. The staff were still very welcoming and nice even though we were in the restaurant for a short time. read more

When CAVA first opened in Whittier, I was so excited. I went there multiple times a week. But over time, Chipotle won me back. But there's one thing Chipotle doesn't have that CAVA does and it keeps me coming back. What's that secret ingredient? It's not the pita chips; it's Metzie. She's the bestie! Check out Whittier CAVA if you want 5-star service (the food is pretty good too)! read more

This cava location is the worse. It's not once or twice it's almost every time. The portions are pathetic. Sometimes they completely skip the dip and the amount of meat they gave you pathetic. This time they completed forgot my dip and I got 2 sad falafels. I know it's a kids meal this time but I've gotten better looking kids meals from other locations. You never get what you paid for here. Do not go to this location. read more

This is exactly what Whittier needed. read more

Disappointed & Dissatisfied... I usually rave about CAVA but tonight and the last couple of months when I put in a pick up order for my family, our bowls were skimpy and sloppy. I thought it a fluke so did not post reviews BUT tonights order made their third strike; confirming their consistency for quality has gone down. The photos I took of two of our orders were before we started to eat them. My husband was still hungry after finishing his chicken bowl. Do better CAVA! read more

came in to this Cava for dinner as me and my boyfriend where down the street at PHI visiting an uncle. Walked in and wasn't really greeted by anyone , the staff seems a bit rude to be honest. The lady helping us out seems to be rushing us, we came in at 8 pm, they bag out items and didn't say anything after we paid. So we decided just to eat back at home since the vibe wasn't so great. When we got home i mixed my bowl, I found a piece of plastic in my bowl. It was too late to go back since we weren't closed so i just toss the bowl away. Check your food first before you leave or something instead of making my mistake and driving back home to find a piece of plastic in the bottom with your mixed green. read more

Delicious! Always one of my top cravings, it's also so heathy and fresh which makes it such a go- to place to eat when. It's a Mediterranean style create your own bowl or pita, which is great because you can customize your order.
