I just wanted to say today 6/24/26 i was out with my best friend and decided to get cava! We walked in and the whole team greeted us with a warm smile and hello! The treatment and service was spectacular along with the food im always very happy to come to this location! Liz, Mia, Izaak, and Ava were welcoming and had great conversation if it were up to me I would give a raise to each one of them! Great staff here in Anaheim hills! love every one here thanks for a great experience! read more

Have to make a special shout out to Mia and Liz! I asked a million questions and they made the process of customizing my bowl nice and easy! I got the double chicken with the whole sha bang and by the end of the purchase, I walked away with one of the most delicious bowls ever! Thank you for making my CAVA experience an amazing one!! read more

My son suggested CAVA for dinner after a massage. We stopped by the Anaheim Hills location located in festival center, lower level. CAVA was open late which was perfect, we arrived about 9PM. Stand in line and ordered at the counter picking out your items as you move down the line. Cashier at the end rings up your order and collects the payment. If you order a drink the fountain drinks are self serve allowing you to pick your ice to liquid ratio and make custom combinations if you're so inclined. Bowls come with a plastic cover which makes shaking up the contents super easy. Sit down in the restaurant or take your food to go and enjoy read more

CAVA - Chicken bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Slowest moving line if it's crowded. There was probably 20 people waiting to get food and only eight people eating at the tables. Food is good but it's gotten super expensive so not worth the wait. Also it's super awkwardly quiet in there and nobody was smiling. Not a good experience, but I'll try again some other time read more

Food is good but service is poor and they're not flexible at all. I ordered a bowl and they would only allow one type of "greens" and they won't let you do half chicken and half veggies anymore. Portions are smaller than they were also. We will probably stick to Chipotle or other Cava locations. read more

Stopped by Cava today and had a great experience. Josh helped us with the toppings and was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely helpful. Mason pointed me toward a few sauces and recommended the honey chicken, which ended up being a great choice. The food was fresh, everything tasted great, and the service made the visit even better. I'll definitely be back. read more

CAVA - Good bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Got the Grilled Steak & Harissa Honey Chicken bowl ($16). It's a good spot to get your veggies since you customize your own base, toppings, and dressing. Flavor: The spicy items have a good kick and different flavor profiles. Portions: Decent size bowls, though the meat portions felt a little light for the price. Setting: Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

A CAVA bowl is usually two meals for me, in fact, I sometimes get a kids meal if I don't want leftovers. But today when my husband asked what I wanted from CAVA, I opted for a normal bowl so I could have lunch tomorrow too. He ordered online and picked up, luckily checked the bag before he left because the pita was missing. Came home, we opened our bowls and were very disappointed. They were barely half way full and complete sloppy messes. Usually the sauces are placed nicely on top to be able to dip the pita in, but it was all mixed together and I couldn't tell what was what. I asked for broccoli and didn't get it. There was also huge chunks of feta that I did not order, it made it way too salty. My lamb meatballs, which are usually delicious, were on the verge of being burnt and were dense like hockey pucks. This was definitely not worth $15. My husband said the last time he got food from this location, it was also a tiny portion, but he thought it was a one off. Unfortunately Orange was closed today which is why he went to Anaheim Hills, but he said he won't be ordering from this store again. read more

CAVA - Barely half filled bowls - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

The braised lamb was really good! Got a pita with all the spicy options. Liz was very helpful!!!

This place is great, first time here and Josh and Liz had all the answers and recommendations. Listed their go to orders. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Food was great will definitely be visiting again read more

This location is 3 miles from me which is great. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Staff were nice and helpful, establishment is clean and plenty of parking spaces in this location. We both got the spicy chicken avocado bowl, it was very good, fresh and generous amount of food. We asked if they offer any military discount and to our surprise they do at least for this location. We definitely will be coming back. Great food great service and lots of parking, highly recommended! read more

CAVA - Spicy Chicken + Avocado - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

I've come to this location a few times and it's been great, but lately it's been a mess. Came an hour and a half after they opened and they were completely out of chicken and falafel. They also ran out of steak, but they did have some to make. There were around 5 people that end up leaving when they heard they didn't have chicken. They offered drinks for anyone that was waiting on the steak to be cooked which was nice. It end up being 30 minutes to get my order. I'm not sure if it was an error in their shipment since two of their popular meats were missing, but you can tell the entire staff was trying their best to sort out the situation. They were also backed up on their online orders. read more

Food was so good super nice and great service Maddie was super helpful. Would come again and eat here.

I love Cava! I like the bowls with half harissa chicken and half regular chicken. Liz and Ava gave me great customer service! Liz offered to make fresh pita chips for me. Ava made the pita chips just right! I also have to mention Kyle. I came in on a different day and Kyle gave exceptional service! He also offered to make fresh pita chips without me having to ask! Thank you for making my visit enjoyable! Good customer service is hard to find! A happy customer! read more

Amazing service by Liz, Eli, and Nia! They offered great recommendations for my bowl when I couldn't decide! Will be back for the great customer service and food! read more

The "general manager" is extremely rude. Slow service. Small portions. Dirty. Not what it used to be a year ago tbh.

Got the lamb as a side dish. I'm glad they let me do this instead of having to get a whole bowl or pita. It's like Chipotle. They have a ton of options. The lamb was tasty and fresh. A bit overpriced, but most outside food is these days. Quick service. Will return! A clean shop with nice workers! read more

josh was super helpful super nice and personable. served us even when we got to the store close to closing.

I go to cava all the time in Orange . The one in Anaheim hills sucks! Always out of items and it's always dead. Store needs a manger that knows what they're doing and cares. Disappointing for locals read more

I went into Cava on the 4th of July, it was just me! They gave me some samples of things I had not tried before, they were so kind, and honestly made my entire day! Way to go Cava staff, you made such a difference in my life today read more

What has happened to CAVA? -- the flavors are great and the ingredients are usually fresh -- but the portions have dropped substantially lately. What used to be a generous, satisfying bowl now looks half-filled, and for the price it just doesn't feel worth it anymore. On top of that, my last order had multiple issues: one bowl was missing broccoli, they forgot to include the pita (so I had to ask for it), and the lamb meatballs were hard, dry, and so overcooked they might as well have been hockey pucks. The food here used to feel reliable, but between the shrinking portions and the careless preparation, the experience has really gone downhill. I hope they turn it around, because right now it's just disappointing. read more

CAVA - Grain bowl with lamb meatballs and a Grains and greens bowl with Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

This review is based on cava via Uber eats/DoorDash etc... Im disgusted that they take zero precautions when ordering through a food delivery service. The bag was not sealed, the contents of the bag (one bowl and one small bag with pita bread) was not even closed and had no stickers, no seals, nothing My food could have so easily been tampered with and I would've had absolutely no idea. I'm not saying my driver did anything, my food looked fine but unfortunately I will not be eating it. I have seen and heard horror stories about what some drivers do to the food they're delivering which I'm pretty sure is why most other restaurants have taken precaution and started sealing (at least) the BAG closed. I've NEVER ordered from any food delivery service and not had some kind of seal either on the item or the bag. Most places seal all of the items and also the bag. I found it so strange and unsanitary when I opened my front door and saw an open bag with my bowl and another small open bag inside of it with my bread. I'm actually very shocked that Cava takes zero precautions with food delivery services and think this should be addressed. read more

Eli, Liz and Layla were wonderfully helpful and even went out of their way to make sure my bowl had fresh rice. My partner was treated with excellent, friendly service! read more

Came in during a lunch rush, the line went by fast and the whole place smelled so good. All the workers are so friendly and helpful with any of my questions. I'm obsessed with the bowls, so good, many options, and delicious every time. My experience is especially pleasant when I see Bobby and Naomi, very sweet girls. read more

CAVA - Cava build your own Greens + Grains Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Always a great place to meet friends on the patio with my dogs. Food choices are healthy and delicious and staff is friendly.

You know, sometimes it's just the little things that go a long way. My son and I came in this evening to dine here and it was such a nice experience. Liz helped us out and was an absolute doll. I'll definitely be back here. Oh, and the food is AMAZING!!! read more

Vince was so friendly and kind while I took my order. I know I tend to be slow, but he was really patient with me, gave me time to think and answered all my questions + gave good suggestions when I asked what to get. The food here is awesome, but it's especially good service like that which makes me choose here instead of a place like Chipotle, where I always feel rushed. Enjoying the spicy lamb he recommended now. Yum! read more

Food tasted good really good nice employees they're polite and fast shout out to Josh and Eli for the help

Josh was super friendly and quick to serve. I'm a regular at this location and I've always been happy with the service.

I am not sure the rating is so high. The food is decent but not better than average. Good take out food maybe. First they have so many people working and you have to wait for them to be free to help you. I think they work on take out orders. I told the person it was my first time and they didn't really help me in a way I feel was beneficial. I had to ask him about the chives. Then when we took our food home I saw the fried wonton chips on my son bowl. What I would have gotten a crunchy item... I saw it but they didn't say I could make a pick them that area. I was disappointed. The food taste.. the spicy meatballs was dry and the chicken was just as dry. The bowl was good with the sauces and the combination I picked but the protein was disappointing. Would I go back maybe but I am going to other places to try before I go back here. The menu was such a small print and not easy to understand of how it works. IMO read more

Cava tries to be like Chipotle with their service model but fails. It took over 30 minutes for me to order and pay. Sadly, my experience today is a repeat of what it has been the last 2 times I was there. They are either understaffed or undertrained. There was a huge line at 1pm. The guy starting the bowls was working so slow and was getting confused. They were out of many ingredients. The girl asked what I wanted and when I said pickles and olives, she gave me 1 slice of pickle and 2 olives. 1 slice of pickle? I asked for cabbage she gave me less than a teaspoon worth. After she prepped my bowl, she packed up my bowl and told to me wait while she helped other people. For 5 minutes I stood there, my meal ready, but no one to ring me up to pay. In the meantime, there is a 10 year old girl waiting to ask a question for at least 10 minutes, everyone ignoring her. I finally flagged someone to help her. After paying, I go to fill my drink and there is no ice, and they are out of my favorite drink. The food is delicious, healthy. But every time I come here, it's in complete disarray, they are out of everything, and the employees are slow. Even when I pre-ordered online, I had to wait an extra 30 minutes because they were so backed up. read more

I've been to CAVA several times and never had an issue, until this visit. Something has clearly changed, and not in a good way. They now seem determined to charge for every possible "extra" on the menu while serving noticeably smaller portions. We ordered two bowls and were given portions so skimpy it was honestly insulting, nothing like what we've received here before. On top of that, the pita bread that normally comes with the bowls wasn't included. When I went back to ask for the pitas that come with our meals, the employee handed me one pita. I had to explain, then argue that we ordered two bowls. She acknowledged it, walked away, and never came back with the second pita. I waited for a few minutes before realizing she wasn't returning at all. At that point, it was clear this wasn't a simple mistake. Between the stingy portions, missing items, and complete lack of concern for the customer, this location has gone downhill fast. If this is the new standard at CAVA, I won't be back and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone expecting to get what they pay for. read more

I visited this CAVA location around 1 pm and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, making it easy to answer any questions I had. This particular location stands out as a great choice, and I would definitely choose CAVA over Chipotle any day. The variety of sauces and toppings is impressive, and the meat options are diverse. read more

Almost every serving tray was practically empty when I came in, yet they were still taking orders like nothing was wrong. I paid extra for the harissa honey chicken, and instead of a proper scoop, I was given the scraps from the bottom of the container and barely any chicken ended up in my bowl. For the prices CAVA charges, the portions are shockingly small, especially when you are paying an upcharge for a protein. It felt cheap and careless, not fresh or generous like it is supposed to be. If you are out of food, the employee who is hanging out behind the counter should restock it. Definitely not worth it, and I will not be coming back to this location. read more

Always great food at CAVA. Daniel helped me out and was very kind, great customer service!

Liz has the best customer service thank you for being so kind! I wish this Cava was closer to me because I had such a great experience.

This was a return visit to Cava to enjoy the fresh Mediterranean fare. You can pretty much customize your bowls as to grain, greens and toppings. The food portions are generous and satisfying. As usual, the staff were fast, efficient and friendly. With just two tables occupied, all the remaining twelve or so tables were not clean from previous diners. After moving from two dirty tables, we succumbed to clean our table to use. The food is good but next time we'll do take-out. read more

They put my food on the wet tray they could find and the restaurant put my pita bread on top of it essentially making that an edible. I ask the cashier if he would eat his food off of a wet tray and he proceeds to tell me with a smirk that he wouldn't accept it. This service in this restaurant is absolutely horrific not to mention the portions have increasingly shrunk overtime. It's a nightmare at lunchtime. I hope you have time on your lunch break if there's a rush because chances are you will not be able to eat here horrific attitude towards customers yet when they are talking to each other, they are behind the counter having the time of their life. absolutely disgusting to see. read more
