    This place was a massive let down. They have a large cold bar that you presumably order from. We approached the cold bar, expected to pick out items to add to a bowl and work our way down the line to the register (like what you'd see at Chipotle). But the cashier called us over to the register to order and handed us a menu. Instead of trying to customize something, we all just ordered directly from the menu. We were SHOCKED when the cashier proceeded to grab pre-made items from the cold case rather than making it to order. She assured us that they were made that day, but it was already the afternoon, who knows how long they were sitting there. The food was mediocre at best. Very bland and did not taste fresh. We ate it because we already spent the money on it, but then walked over to another place nearby for a pallet cleanser. I'm shocked that in a place like Pasadena, with endless incredible food, this place somehow managed to acquire more than 2 stars on Yelp.

    I was the only customer on Saturday morning but I could see this place being potentially popular with the Pilates from next door. I got the Kiwi Kiss but unfortunately wasn't super wowed with my smoothie for the $10 price point. Nothing really wrong, it was all fine, just not some place I'd go out of my way to go again. It seems like they have a decent variety of menu items so maybe I should've picked something else.

    First time visiting here. It seems like it is a make your own healthy bowl with protein, veggies and 3 toppings. Everything looked very fresh. I got the to go quinoa tabbouleh and it was fresh and delicious. I was a little underwhelmed by the $12 tropical smoothie (mango, strong peanut butter, banana notes). It was more oat-y and peanut flavored than mango. Great to have in the neighborhood.

    Words cannot do justice to how absolutely bomb this place was, so I made one up. "Synthalicious" (sin-thuh-LISH-us) Definition: (adj.) Incredibly tasty, especially in a high-tech, next-level way; delicious beyond traditional flavor -- like something engineered for maximum pleasure This food was soooooo gooooooood!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very cute and green[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Me and my mom got the Harissa salad and they have it right there on the side or they can make it for you if your teeth are sensitive. The spicy kick from the sauce is strong but good and the green machine smoothie just adds to the experience, it tastes like you are entering a forest and there are trees everywhere and pine cones it's so synthalicious. Plus the chips are also very good. FYI this place closes later than 4. 11/10

    Stopped by The daily randomly after a workout at 24 hour fitness. The chicken bowl was delicious, and I ordered a Cocoa smoothie sooo good. I will be coming back to try the beef bowl. If you are undecided on the dressings they will provide a sample for you! Staff was friendly, total was $30. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went on a Sunday around 1pm and it was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Really enjoyed the bowls and smoothies here!! My husband and I came twice in one week and used a BOGO coupon we had gotten a while back. The food was portioned very generously and felt very healthy and nutritious. We were able to split a bowl and smoothie between us and feel full. We enjoyed the chicken option more than the beef but both were delicious. Both the employees working there were super welcoming and nice. Would definitely go back! Parking: there is a free lot with parking! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is in the same lot as Trader Joe's, so it can get busy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I love…read morethe convenience of ordering online ahead of time, and I appreciate how accurate they are with the wait times of when my food was ready. I tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap and the Margherita Pizza. My most candid thoughts: Margherita Pizza: This resembled more of a flat bread than a pizza. The sauce they used tasted like tomato pasta sauce from a jar and not necessarily pizza sauce. The dough tasted somewhat undercooked and thick, and the sauce and cheese did not stick well to the dough. Very bland in flavor. Huge portion though for the price. 5.5/10 Chicken Caesar Wrap: Very underwhelming as the chicken tasted dry and rough. I really liked the Spicy Caesar sauce though. It really spiced things up and added more flavors to the bland wrap. Portion was great and lettuce was fresh. I loved that they added avocados. However, it was definitely not the best Chicken Caesar wrap I've ever had and I would most definitely not be dying to order it again. 7/10 Parking is convenient as there is a free lot nearby. No seating inside as it's take out only.

It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity!

They are Mediterranean inspired offering Chef-Curated bowls or Build Your Own bowls. Similar to Chipotle, but a whole lot better IMHO. Pay street parking right up front. Plenty of interior and limited exterior seatings are present. Fountain station plus specialty teas are available. Restrooms are in the back of the restaurant. Harissa Avocado Bowl is a fan favorite and it has definitely became my favorite. It comes with a mix of super greens such as kale, brussels sprouts, cabbage plus basmati rice. Harissa Honey Chicken was tender and so flavorful. YUM! Scoops of hummus and crazy feta were great additions to the bowl. All toppings were so very fresh and of good quality... sliced fresh avocado, fire-roasted corn, and diced Persian cucumbers. Since toppings were unlimited, I also asked for some tomato + onion, cabbage slaw, and tomato + cucumber. Dressing comes with a drizzle of hot harissa vinaigrette. I asked for it on the side because I wanted to add the dressing a little bit at a time. Entire bowl was so delicious. We were offered one complimentary pita with our bowl. Thanks for the pita treat! Staff was wonderful. Btw, ingredients stations were very clean and well organized. Highly recommend again and again. Thank you CAVA Pasadena for your unique and amazing curated bowl creations and superb service in a clean and well kept environment. I'll be sure to come back for more tasty goodness.
