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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Food is great and Top notch customer service! Shout out to Michael,GM for accommodating my needs. I will definitely be back!

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

got the bowl to go and quality was there, but I do feel like they skimped on the dips...i could barely even taste it or find it which was unfortunate. service was good, ambiance was clean read more

Great place to dine in, healthy food and a very attentive and friendly manager her name is Metzie, very concerned with the customers needs and takes care of the customers complaints and an immediate response is done on the spot I'll give her 5. 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

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

Took my friends to Cava for the first time and had an excellent experience. Bella and Eddie were extremely helpful and welcoming, answering all of my friends' questions. My friend said their names remind him of Bella & Edward from twilight. They loved the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. Both stated they'll definitely be coming back. read more

Cava was yummy, everything was fresh and flavorful, the amount was just right. I loved my whole bowl. The service was ok it was lunch time so it was busy but the workers are quick.

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

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

Honestly f**k this location. I just ordered my wifes dinner on Uber eats and when it arrived the bowl was incredibly small its like they put the absolute bare minimum ingredients to just make the item without making it a meal. I will never order or come here again. Whoever was working the shift the night of April 13th are all subpar employees that dont care about good customer service and just are all around lazy people. Spending nearly 40 dollars on a bowl for my wife that has allergy conditions and receiving such a tiny portion of food was insulting and Uber eats did nothing to help and denied any kind of refund. This was incredibly disappointing since we used to come into this restaurant a lot. read more

Wow, what an amazing place. It's like subway for Mediterranean food that is fresh. They even have their own brand of soda which tastes amazing. The service was top tier and the ambiance was modern and chic. Will definitely be returning with friends. read more

I went for the first time ever, I was really excited to try it. However the worker a girl that attended me was rude and not helpful at all I didn't get her name. But I told her it was my first time and she didn't care didn't even give me the options I can choose from. For first time customers it'd be a lot helpful for employees to walk us through the options and do it kindly! 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

Absolute amazing food if I can afford to eat cava everyday best believe I would no doubt I feel like they offer very clean ingredients wide variety of protein options along with veggies. That's also kid friendly. Definitely in my top five for takeout even though I wouldn't consider this food fast food! Cava is definitely a crowd pleaser they do know how to keep that line moving customers in and out the door! This particular location placed in Whittier is such a hit. This is exactly what Whittier needed. read more

They're alright, a bit stingy on portions. I had to ask for extra corn and the employee just gave me a blank look until I asked again. Eh I prefer other places. The garlic sauce is pretty good but I rather go somewhere else with better portions, and not have to buy two meals to feel full. 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

First time at CAVA Whittier and it was a fantastic experience! This was my first visit to CAVA and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. From the moment I walked in, Esmeralda was absolutely amazing -- so welcoming, friendly, and genuinely customer-centric. She took the time to explain the entire menu, made thoughtful suggestions, and made sure I felt comfortable and excited about my order. It's rare to come across someone who truly elevates the experience the way she did. Her positive energy, patience, and attention to detail made a big difference and turned a first visit into a great one. Great food, clean space, and outstanding service. Huge shoutout to Esmeralda -- I truly appreciate it and will definitely be back! read more

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this Cava location. From the moment I stepped up to order, the customer service was noticeably poor. The employees displayed visible attitude, minimal communication, and a rushed demeanor that made the interaction uncomfortable. The first employee did not clearly ask for my selections and seemed disengaged, giving me an excessive amount of rice and greens without confirming portions. When I moved down the line, the next employee questioned standard toppings and continued to rush me through the ordering process. I specifically asked for chopped cucumber and tomato, yet large pieces were placed on my bowl before I could finish clarifying. I had to stop her and correct it mid-assembly. Beyond the service issues, I've consistently noticed that when ordering online, the portion sizes are significantly smaller compared to ordering in-store. The difference is substantial and does not reflect the value customers are paying for. I understand that fast-casual environments can be busy, but professionalism, basic courtesy, and consistency in portions are non-negotiable standards in hospitality. This experience fell far below what I expect from Cava as a brand. I hope management and corporate leadership take these concerns seriously and address both customer service and portion control at this location. Also, they seem to fail to give me the free pita bread that comes with a bowl. read more
