CAVA - Created my own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

I love cava!!!! But this location literally ALWAYS forgets something !!! And I look at the ticket to see if it was me and it's not !! They always forget, they have time to talk but not get my order right read more

Great food super cool staff clean restaurant food was all fresh and service was fast can't see where you can go wrong

This is mainly for the customer service. It could just be the closing shift workers but it seemed messier and more chaotic than any other location I've been to. I actually like Cava but it lowers the quality when the environment is like that. read more

Richie :) was very helpful & kind. He was super patient with us and the food was super yummy per usual. Shout out Richie :) !!

Great service. Clean area, everyone was very helpful. Richie helped me out. Everyone was friendly. They accommodated to my vegetarian diet. They had ran out of vegetables and made some for me to have. read more

Great Spot for Fresh and Delicious Food! I had such a good experience at the Whittier CAVA. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making the whole process quick and easy. The food was fresh and tasty -- everything tasted really good and made with quality ingredients. I loved how customizable the bowls are, so you can get exactly what you want. The place was clean and had a nice vibe, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Ive had cava once and plan on going again, food was great and i was able to try it out with my coworkers who introduced me to this place, the food was fresh and the workers helped me pick out things i might like since i never tried Mediterranean food before. The seating was great but since i was in a huge party we couldnt join tables as they are fixed to the ground :( other than that though it was amazing! read more

I don't know why when I've heard about this place on social media, I thought it was in LA so I never tried to look it up an go. Thankfully, I heard that we were going here for our work lunch and I was excited to try it. I can't talk about their service since my work place ordered ahead of time, but their food was great. At first glance, I didn't think it would fill me, but at the end of my meal, I was satisfied. I got their steak mezze salad and at firtst glace, I didn't think it would fill me, but to my surprise, I was satisfied. The salad tasting really refreshing and the portion of the steak was pretty good too. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was their hummus, but I'm not a hummus fan in general. I would definitely come back as I thought of when to come back right after we left. read more

Worst cava I've been to. Places my order- I customized a Harissa avocado and the girl didn't even look and gave me the standard. So I got nothing that I asked for and the bowl was literally 1/2 empty for a $20 salad. Whomever work today at 1pm did a terrible job and I won't be returning. What a waste of money. read more

CAVA - Where's the rest of the salad. Not even what I ordered. - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

As a long-time vegan customer who has supported CAVA in Whittier regularly, I'm extremely disappointed--and honestly, frustrated--with how this location has handled its ongoing issue. For over three weeks, they've been completely out of vegetables, and according to management, it's because their oven is broken. Let me be clear: there are many other ways to cook vegetables. A stovetop, steamer, grill--there are plenty of options. To go this long without finding a solution sends a clear message: vegan and plant-based customers are not a priority here. Each time I've come in hoping things had been resolved, I'm met with the same excuse and a menu that barely accommodates my dietary needs. It feels like CAVA corporate or local management has just written us off. What's worse is that there seems to be no urgency in fixing the issue or offering a reasonable alternative. I genuinely used to enjoy coming here and appreciated having a place where I could build a flavorful and filling vegan bowl. But it's hard to support a business that doesn't value all of its customers equally. Until this is addressed--and fixed--I won't be returning. Do better, CAVA. read more

I did an online order via Cava app. I asked for half spinach half rice, they gave me all rice and 4 pieces of Romaine lettuce. I asked for extra chicken, it's definitely not extra chicken. I asked for tomatoes and onion (the mix), they gave me pickled onions. I asked for dressing in the side, there is no dressing at all. Highly disappointed. read more

Great food and great service!!! Thank you Adriana for the menu recommendations and for being so kind :)

Two photos of the same bowl a month apart. Look at how drastically the portions have changed even when the price didn't. The employees hook it up but the manager served me the second time and barely anything at that. read more

PARKING (4/5): It's pretty busy on weekends, but there is definitely always parking. You might just have to walk a tiny bit. SERVICE (4/5): They always seem busy and are a solid assembly line that moves moves moves! They each do their job in line and try to move everyone as quickly as possible. Not a ton of time for chit chat here. Great job! FOOD (4/5): $3: SMALL DRINK (strawberry lemonade ) $12: bowl with greens & grains I think this place has solid flavors, and you can always switch up the sauces or ingredients to create a whole new bowl. I usually always do the same thing because I'm boring. But it's ALWAY DELICIOUS! The strawberry lemonade is SO GOOD! I want to try all their non-soda options! And for only $3 that's a steal compared to most places who charge $5 for a drink. OVERALL (4/5): I love this place, the price is fair & the flavors are AMAZING! Obviously the protein portion is small, but you can always pay more for more protein. read more

CAVA - $3: SMALL DRINK (strawberry lemonade - SO GOOD!) $12: bowl with greens & grains with HARISSA CHICKEN - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

Everytime i have gone the staff was rude both females and males. The food is good but the staff needs work on how to treat a customer. CAVA get it together. And also they forget to add your items so make sure to check your bag before leaving. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch with the pup and enjoyed a great meal with friendly service. Build your own bowl with half Harissa chicken and roasted veggies was fresh along with pita chips and a lemonade. There is outdoor seating which is dog friendly. Mari and Guy provided great service and went the extra mile to make it a great experience. read more

I always have great service. It is always tidy, the employees are super nice. The food is delicious and feels light. I love this place!

Great service. First time trying cava. Really excited to have one in Whittier now. Richie helped us today.

Expensive and disgusting. Gave the place a second try and food has gotten worse. Ordered online and they forgot all the toppings, which is practically half the bowl. Steak and chicken was ice cold, bland, chewy. Like last time, very small portions. One of the saddest meals I've had in a while. Never again. read more

Quick service even for end of the night. As well as food always being fresh and always a great vibe from the staff. Especially Sturat and his manager Isaac. read more

I like Cava! It's basically a Mediterranean version of Chipotle. You start by choosing a bowl or wrap. Then you choose your base, your dips, main (proteins), toppings, and dressing, which you can get on the side or on their bowl or wrap. The service is good. You just let them know what you want as you go down the line. The store is clean and they have tables inside and outside to sit. Definitely a nice fast food option when you want fresh food that is also healthy-ish. read more

I have been so excited to try this place since my friends keep raving about it and describing it as "the Mediterranean Chipotle." I was intimated since I wasn't sure what to order, but after some research I decided to build my own greens and grains bowl. SplendidGreens, saffron basmati rice, harissa, crazy feta, tzatziki, grilled chicken, fire roasted corn, pickled onions, tomato + cucumber, shredded romaine, pita crisps, and garlic dressing. Comes with a small side of pita bread! It was so filling and delicious. I am excited to try a different combination the next time I go. Also I am glad I ordered online for pick up because the store was extremely busy! read more

Looking forward to a Cava bowl today however the service at this location today was really disappointing! The person making the bowls appeared to be bothered and unfriendly. I felt very rushed as she was making the bowls. The cashier was also unfriendly and when I asked if I could put my number she seemed like I was asking for a free entry ! This type of service really killed the vibe for me ! Having a bad attitude from staff can really affect your meal. I was dissatisfied with the unfriendly staff ! Usually this place the staff is customer service friendly! Today not the case ! It will be a while before I go back to this location! read more

Basically Cava is a Chipotle style Mediterranean food joint.... This store is remodeling some of the tables on one side and I just wanted to sober up a bit after the big Yelp event so I wanted to grab a bite that was Vegan somewhere nearby since I was a bit buzzed... Service is standard like any fast casual place and the store was clean. It was pretty busy for 9PM but it closes at 10PM so some of the drinks were out already and the guy wanted to clean up the drinks (they have other tea/citrus/fruity drinks as well as fountain) at about 9:30...fine with me since I didn't get any of them. Food was just okay to me I go to other Mediterranean places all the time and the falafel here just plain sucked! I got a lentils grains bowl with 4 dinky pieces of falafel that were dry, bad texture and really not good at all. Added traditional hummus red pepper hummus and roasted eggplant dip...added a few toppings and lemon herb tahini for the dressing.... Overall for the price and quality I would rather go to other Lebanese, Mediterranean or Greek restaurants and pay a little more for more food and better quality. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

My first time finally trying Cava and it did not disappoint. The greens were crisp and all the toppings were fresh. Maybe I arrived at a good time but it seems the location had steady business. The shopping center is busy so good luck with parking. The staff was friendly and gave me time to make up my mind on what to order since it was my first time without feeling rushed. They also gave input when asked what were most popular items. The pricing is reasonable considering the amount of food you get. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Everything was clean and staff wiping down tables after customers periodically which is a plus. read more

"CAVA"--sometimes referred to as Cava Grill, is a privately held Mediterranean fast casual restaurant chain. You enter and get into line. You provide the first attendant with your order. As you move along the cafeteria line, you might be asked questions about customizing your plate. You pay the cashier at the end of the line. If it takes some additional time to prep your plate, find a seat and they'll call you when it's ready. Some have described the experience as being somewhat like Chipotle. On this visit, our party ordered one greens and grains bowl w/ chicken ($11.75); one grains bowl w/ chicken ($11.75); one spicy lamb meatball pita sandwich ($14.05); and two fountain beverages ($3.35/ea). With tax ($4.54), the ticket was $48.79. As to the taste of the meals--I think the term "Mediterranean-style" is key. The plates definitely are derived from Greek influences--but it's not really Greek food. The flavors are not as strong as a true Greek café or gyros shop, but that's ok. I'm a bit torn as to the value of the meals. I feel like the price per plate verged on being expensive; but when I look at the number of staff behind the counter, I recognize the labor input cost. This store is a new build. From an aesthetic perspective, the shop's décor is very nice. But, there are a lot of hard surfaces, so it can get noisy as the number of patrons grown. read more

Food is good but the overall cleanliness of the food prep area could use lots of work. The food prep area counters were in need of whipping, there was food and sauce dropping everywhere. Workers wore same pair of gloves to open boxes, packaging and handling food and touching the register. read more

I had a wonderful experience with this location because of METZIE she's very friendly and know about Cavas Menu ,I will definitely coming back to this location. read more

Steak and chicken are cold. What establishment gives you the hard end of the romaine lettuce on purpose? I feel that some of these employees feel a bit entitled. I got double chicken and don't mind paying extra, but for goodness sake... give me the full scoop I'm paying for. The food quality is decent for this type of fast food, but not sure how many times I'll be returning. Portion control must be in full effect. Do better CAVA However... the man that makes the is place vibe with his extraordinary and exuberant charisma.. NATE .. Oh, how many chips are supposed to be in the bag when you order pita chips? 4?5?10? 8? read more

CAVA - Romaine lettuce? - Mediterranean Near Me - Whittier, California

This location is terrible. I placed an online order for pickup that stated it was ready when it clearly wasnt. My orders were all missing something in it and they skimp on everything. I paid extra for steak and avocado but at this point, its a waste of money because they hardly give a good enough portion for the bowl. Terrible experience read more

Decided to grab some lunch with my grandma today and this is my third time having Cava and absolutely PERFECTION every time. The quality of their items are all so fresh and you can definitely taste it too! I usually get their splendid greens mix and grilled chicken as my protein option and just basically all the toppings. What makes the bowl is their dips and dressings omggggg. I could not tell you how good they are. My favorite combo for dips are the harissa, original hummus and taziki with their garlic and vinaigrette dressing. Literally the bessssst combo. I usually feel guilty eating this like this but I feel so good after having this bowl every time. Portions are huge so this usually last me 2-3 meals! I've been to two different locations and staff at both locations are absolutely amazing and sweet ppl. Super welcoming and friendly staff! (: Will definitely be back this week to show my boyfriend this place heheh read more
