One of my favorite restaurant food chains I go to! Place serves good quality food. Salads, wraps and chicken. Stopped at this specific location by work as a To Go Order. Nice establishment and nice people. Ambiance was clean and comfortable. Bit tight but well worth it. Purchased a family meal which included wraps, pasta, Cesar and chicken salad. I did not have to wait long to receive my order.. My order was ready after 10 minutes! Great prompt service. "Speed and efficiency." Took my food home and noticed the nice presentation how everything was packed neatly. Unboxed my meals and ate it. Just have to say how fresh and delicous my cesear chicken salad and chicken drumsticks was!! This food chain doesn't dissapoint. Where ever I go, I search for Calif Chicken Cafe! I would definitely come back. 4 stars since I did not actually dine in. It was rather small and cozy. Kudos for the freshness.! Place has good quality food. read more

Worst California chicken cafe in Los Angeles . They always are backed up or completely forget your order ; and /or your order just sits and they forget it. I had about 10 people ordering after me receive their order before...... Ridiculous read more

Can't go wrong with eating at Calif Chicken Cafe. Stopped by this colorful walk up location for a last minute lunch. There wasn't a line when I got there so I was able to order quickly and get my food quickly. The guy who took my order was really friendly. I ordered the melrose wrap and it was so fresh and delicious! Definitely recommend. read more

California Chicken Cafe in Santa Monica is a showcase in knowing exactly what it is and executing without hesitation. The speed alone deserves recognition. Placed the order on the app, food in hand (beating the estimated wait time), no excuses made. Everything comes out cooked to perfection, hot where it should be, fresh where it matters. THAT'S WHAT IS UP. It's pickup only, which somehow makes it better, like the place is politely telling you not to linger. Friendly staff greets you and hooks ya up with a primo parking spot to get your grub. Ambience is 10/10. And yes, I'm about to compliment the parking, because when parking is this dialed, it counts.They have that shit locked down in a way that feels almost luxurious by Santa Monica standards. Overall, CCC never misses on flavor, and that consistency is the real flex. Quality here isn't a marketing word, it's the baseline expectation. This is dependable, efficient, deeply satisfying food that shows up and does the job every single time. read more

This is the gold standard for salads and rotisserie chicken. They have an extensive menu with great sides and wraps, but their salads are what keeps me coming back. The Chicken: I only eat white meat, so I'm picky about texture. CCC does it perfectly, the breast meat is always tender and juicy, never stringy or dry. You can really taste the herb seasoning all the way through the meat. The Salads: * Chinese Chicken Salad: my absolute go to. The crunch from the almonds and crispy noodles mixed with the salad veggies are perfect. The Chinese dressing is the best dressing I've ever had (I always get extra on the side). * California Chicken Salad: Great if you love avocado and veggies. The broccoli adds a nice crunch and the balsamic pairs well with the chicken. If you want a quick grab n go they have a website where you can order for pickup. They also have a convenient side window operation where they call your number. It's efficient and the staff is always nice. read more

My food was fresh - and it was also SO disappointing. The amount of chicken in the Chinese wrap should be a crime for nearly $20. It isn't even worth $10. Where is the protein?! I unfortunately won't be ordering again. read more

Chicken quality is consistently moist and flavorful, which is HUGE, and the service and staff are always friendly and efficient. CCC pretty much got us through pandemic lockdown, and it's still one of our main go-to to-go's when no one wants to cook. The only two complaints we have are that there's only one flavor option (barbecue or lemon herb would be nice!), and wishing the wraps were better wrapped so that they didn't immediately become salad on a lavash. read more

I LOVE Ca Chicken Cafe, the food and the service. Unfortunately you can only take out and that does not work for me 75% of the time.

When I am hungry, don't wanna cook, and don't wanna eat like crap, this is my go to. The goddess salad, no broccoli. It's always perfect. There is no ambiance, because it's all to-go. There is no service, because, it's all to-go. But the salad is solid. And every time I get it, I am never bummed. read more

I still love the extra juicy dark meat rotisserie chicken here. I live in the area and miss dining in this location and the Venice location. I'm wondering if they will ever have dining in again. I've passed on it a few times because of this reason. I want the food, but don't want to order in or carry out. I noticed the Woodland Hills location still has dine in which I found curious. Still very good but a bit pricey for chicken. read more

After all these years, it's still my go-to spot for to-go salads before work. Their salads are always fresh and so good! Curbside pickup is a breeze -- the staff is already outside ready to take your name, and the food comes out in seconds. Quick, easy, and consistently delicious! read more

Honestly, I didn't expect much from this place, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The style & branding lead me to believe that it would be bland & overpriced, while having "chicken" in the name was discouraging as a vegetarian. But my partner assured me that the food would be good, and they were right! I thoroughly enjoyed my vegan wrap from this place-- we've gotten it twice now as takeout, and on one occasion I couldn't even finish it, so I had a full half leftover for lunch the next day. read more

The fact that it's take-out only is egregious. It is so hard to relax for lunch and it's made even more difficult if we are required to eat in our car. I used to eat here at least once a week; now it's been a year because every time I call they say I'm not allowed to eat in the building. Please bring back an in-person eating space. I guess it doesn't matter much to you, but you are losing customers. read more

Last 3 pickup orders were wrong. I order one chicken and they can't get it right. Honestly, it's not just sad, it's pathetic. You should teach your staff what no back means. Because it's repulsive to look at and you just can't eat after seeing it. Also, might be a good idea if you actually put the sauces in the bag. Otherwise just don't ask if I want sauce. I'm over it. Never again. Maybe a proficiency test on how to read an order and what's expected by the consumer. read more

Food was good. Service was quick. They only have takeout/pick up. That's good for me!

I made an error in ordering, and everyone was so kind and helpful in getting me back on track. When I came to pick up my order, they had someone to direct me to a parking spot, and they brought my order out to me! I order for a crew, and they were so delighted with the salads and how beautiful they are! I will definitely be ordering from CA Chicken Cafe again! read more

The chicken wraps are always well put together with crisp fresh vegetables. I had a Caesar wrap and my partner had a ranch wrap. We split them and I ate my entire half of the ranch before we discovered a cup of ranch at the bottom of his half. So kept in mind the ranch cup will be wrapped into the wrap paper and having that extra ranch made a big difference in flavor! This location is next to Douglas Park so it's super convenient for an impromptu picnic and perfect warm weather food! read more

The Caesar wrap was so good! The sauce amount was perfect and the croutons were so good! The Chinese wrap wasn't as good and it comes with sauce on the side so it was a little dry. We also had the lemonade that was very good. We ordered when we got there and waited about 5 minutes. read more

Yummmmm. Always so good and fresh. The portions are very generous, and love the curbside pick up.

Came here with a colleague, as someone who doesn't eat meat...your options are obviously limited and that's totally OK. But if you are going to advertise a wrap as vegan, please make sure there is no chicken inside. So here is a warning to all vegans/vegetarians/non-meat eaters: the Vegan Wrap is not so vegan. There should be a cross contamination warning. Idk maybe there is? read more

I been to so many ccc but have never experienced any type of customer service like this location!!' The food here tastes fresh and the workers are always so helpful and always going above and beyond to make you feel good. As a mother it is hard to find a place where you, your 5 year old and parents can enjoy! I stop here once a week. They have the best wraps and salads... don't go to another location but this one you won't regret I used to go to Venice until I found this one!! Thank you guys for always being so friendly and making great food! (; read more

Calif Chicken Cafe - Outside - Wraps Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My company catered this for lunch one time, and since then, I've been hooked! I now make it a point to stop by one every time I'm in LA. I've tried the wraps from work before, and I really like them. They also seem to be a favorite with everyone I've talked to about this place. Personally, I love the chicken more. The chicken is so juicy and fresh. My go to is the kids' meal with two legs and a chocolate chip cookie. The broccoli pasta salad is also a must! Since Covid, none of the locations allow for dine in, but you can eat in the parking lot in your car. The parking lot is also only available for pickup, or eating in the car. The parking guy (the one that's been there for over 10 years) is super nice and personable! All the locations are scattered in LA, but I hope they come to OC one day! read more

California Chicken Cafe never misses. The chicken wrap was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--tender grilled chicken, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of sauce wrapped up tight. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. It's filling without being heavy and always hits the spot. Consistently great food and service. Highly recommend the chicken wrap! read more

Great food all around! The only down side is that they turned the inside of their restaurant into a to go only operation with only tables in the outside. But the chicken and sides are always delicious. We go there anytime we are in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Come here if you're in the mood for good wraps and/or salads! Their portions are huge and I love that they give a side of dressing with each order. The last time I went was around 7pm and there was a long line out front waiting for pick-up. However, they're quick as I only waited about 5minutes. read more

I ordered 1/4 chicken with pasta and what I assumed a side cesar salad. What I got was a full chicken cesar salad. I ordered in person and the attendant was friendly. Tho location is basically a kitchen with outdoor seating. The chicken was good. Not sure that is better than any other roasted chicken. The chicken cesar was really good. I probably would been happy just ordering that instead. I did manage to eat all the food. I did see a lot of folks praising the chicken. It is not all that esp for the price point, but I do see the convenience of the place along with good chicken. read more

I wanted to take a minute to write a review, specifically about the wonderful team here. Russell picked up the phone regarding the problem I had with my online owner (it was for Christine) and without any hesitation, did her best to help resolve the issue as politely and professionally as possible. Can't stress enough how nice it is to be able to talk someone at restaurant who went above and beyond to help me out. Thank you Russell, Robert, and the staff here! read more

Every time I come to this place, I leave not just full, but in a better mood - and a big part of that is thanks to Itzel. She's the kind of person who makes your day better just by being around. Always full of energy, super friendly, and lightning-fast with orders -- she remembered my name after just a couple visits, which blew me away! In a world where good service is getting rare, Itzel is a reminder that great people still exist. If every business had someone like her up front, customer service would be on a whole other level. Huge shoutout to her - keep being amazing! read more

Absolutely recommend this business don't do because the food is healthy and because Jose is a total bro and professional, and every customer that came up and greeted us Thomas this is their favorite place to have lunch... Chicken Caesar wrap was incredibly good. I literally would eat 2000 of those if I can afford to. read more

California Chicken Cafe has the best chicken. We've tried the wraps, salads and the chicken. It's all good. The service is always fast because it is a drive up. It never disappoints. They have the best dressing, especially the Italian. It's reasonable and always fresh. So good. read more

THIS BUSINESS IS NO LONGER RELIABLE. The last time I got food from GrubHub at the Venice location, the food was so poorly prepared that I threw it out. i left a Yelp review and the mgr texted me that she was giving me $15 credit. Well, that was nice. Then she told me that I had to sign up again because they had changed their website. So I went through all that and entered all my info again and signed onto their new website. Today after a doctor's appointment, I went out of my way 1/2 hour and drove to the Santa Monica location, which is usually the only location where the food seems well prepared. Before driving there, I spent 10 minutes deciding what I wanted and ordered takeout on the (new) website. When I got to the checkout section, THERE WAS NO SIGN IN LINK! So I backed out and started all over again putting in my order. Same thing. I could not sign in and I could not put in my order. I drove to the location to see what I could do. Their setup is usually very convenient: They have a back parking lot with numbered spaces. You pull into a numbered space and they bring out your food. The parking lot is usually mobbed with cars. It was around 4:00 p.m., and usually their back parking lot is full with people waiting to pick up their order. There was not a single car in the parking lot. I drove up to the employee standing at the entrance to the parking lot and told him my predicament. He said, "Yeah, everyone's been saying they can't sign in." ?????? So I asked him what I could do. He said I would have to drive around to the front and order at the window. Ordering at the window means driving onto Wilshire Blvd (a VERY crowded main blvd, with non existent parking) and try to find a parking place and then walk back to the window. Not going to do it. So I told him I was going to give them a bad review on Yelp and I left. BOGUS BOGUS B OGUS. Isn't this your business? Aren't you professionals? You initiate a new website, make everyone go through signinig up again, AND THEN YOU FORGET TO PUT A SIGN IN LINK ??????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I had already driven out of my way and getting home took me an extra 45 minutes IN BUMPER TO BUMPER RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. And once I got home, WE HAD NO DINNER!!!!!! This is absolutely UNFORGIVABLE. What kind of stoners are running this business? And now I have to figure out what to do for dinner. And I'm pissed. read more

I'm at the Santa Monica location now and I've usually never had a problem before but today is off. Big props to Itzel as she is efficient and very friendly but the 2 employees at their parking lot are definitely not friendly and there is a girl inside who needs better training. I really like the food but these employees make it that I won't want to return. read more

2nd time here and ordered the California chicken cafe salad. The guy that took my order was nice and accommodating. Unfortunately they didn't have red onions to add but the salad was pretty good 8/10. I'll probably try a different salad next time. Portion size was generous! read more

Hi let me start of by saying I love california chicken cafe. I've never had an issue with their food before but unfortunately im not sure if my food was made by a new recruit today or what happened but to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I paid for 2 wraps today a Cesar and a Melrose I received NO CHICKEN in both of my wraps which HOW guys common your restaurant literally has the word chicken in it plus no avocado. If I had my car right now I would drive down and ask for my money back. Please double check your orders before they leave the door. NOW I AM HESITANT TO ORDER DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A ONE TIME MISTAKE OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. Time to look for a new wrap place. read more

California Chicken Cafe in Santa Monica is the best! The customer service is always great, the workers are so nice, especially Manuel. He is so genuine, kind and friendly.
