Donovan was a legend on the line at cava tonight. It had been a while since I've been because I moved out of state but he gave me the run down with great suggestions. The other staff were cool too. And the food had tons of flavor. If I still lived in the area I would be a regular read more

Cava.. you are good but I'm waiting for you to be great. My second experience highly disappointed me, placing a mobile an hour in advance for pickup and was not ready for another almost 30 mins ... observing the staff I noticed there was no sense of urgency. They did not check on us to let us know about our orders that would have been more considerate. There was no point in placing a mobile order when it's not ready around the time I set up for pickup. I was not the only one several of us picking up mobile orders were waiting. At least they got my bowl right or else that would have been the cherry on the top... read more

Love the build your own salad bowls! I had the spinach, arugula, and broccoli slaw with a bit of basmati rice. Topped it with all the fresh veggies, grilled chicken, crazy feta, and hummus. I love the harissa, garlic, and skhug sauce. Some of the ingredients are a bit salty so you might ask for the sauce on the side. I ordered a side of pita chips, which were partially soft, I expected full crunch. They had plenty of seating inside and service was quick and easy. Great for to-go orders as the bowls hold up nicely in the fridge. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Great customer service, give Britton a raise because he gets you right. The crew is very thoughtful as well and everything is fast paced so you get your food quickly. read more

Finally got to try this place. We ordered to go. 5 stars for the food, subtracting 2 stars for the portions and attention to detail, but adding 1 star back for the post-meal customer support. Food is excellent, we ordered a bowl and a wrap and I can see what the hype is about. The problem we encountered is similar to what others have posted. The portion size was disappointing. As you can see from the picture, they do not pack the bowl. Also, we ordered half chicken half falafel, and they forgot the falafel. Customer service was able to give me a $5 credit within an hour, which is great support. I'd definitely come back, but will check my food before leaving. read more

CAVA - Chicken + Rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Brea, California

Brand new location opened in Brea so had to try it of course. Emily was the girl that helped take our order my friend and I went to lunch before our kids got out of school. Decided to try this newly opened location, we had this once and I remember it being so good! Ordered the kids plate since I know I can't finish the whole thing. Got the chicken, with white rice and hummus, my friend got the same. You can choose two sides although they weren't sure if it came with one or two lol. But they were so slammed busy when we came in. It's pretty spacious and there is enough tables inside and outside to have your meal. You can choose the toppings and sides or dressings you want. The green one that was sort of spicy I wish I took a picture of it but wow it was sooo good!! All of it the pita chip's they are crunchy and a bit salty, you can dip them in the hummus or whatever sides you end up choosing or dipping sauce I should say. It's really delicious and healthy food. Filled us up and not too expensive either. The drinks were off brand soft drinks, they also have a delicious lemonade and a few others to choose from. It is new so they were all still learning portions and how many sides, but I definitely would come back. Emily was extremely helpful and sweet, wonderful service and with smiles thank you! I would recommend to try this place. Have a really beautiful day :) Aloha read more

Briton was awesome and super friendly! Excellent service, made our food with a smile! Will be coming back to this cava!

The workers are always so kind and make sure to load up your bowl. It's always clean which is why this is a must visit place!

I come here every week because the food is so delicious. The service is always great and I always leave here feeling so full this is a must try spot in Brea read more

Amazing food and portions! I come here like at least 5x a month. Staff is so friendly too!

First time trying this chain. The line here was very long but it is a new location. I got a bowl with brown rice, lentils, braised lamb, and hot harrisa vinaigrette. The food was surprisingly very good for a chain. The only complaint I have is that the staff should notify their customers when they run out of items because it would suck to wait 45 minutes just to find out they don't have what you want. read more

I've been here when they first opened and it was so good then! The quality I feel like has decreased and even portions- whereas before the bowls looked more full, recently (today) - bowls look pretty sad. Also, one of the workers had some attitude which was not appreciated. read more

Kyli and Brit helped me out they were awesome! I'd defiantly come back again best location in my opinion

Traveling for work so I wanted to try and get something healthy. Got cava delivered to the hotel. I don't actually think this healthy but it feels like it is. Cava always tastes the same no matter what you get. It's a blob of stuff jammed into a bowl with sauce all over it. It never tastes great that's for sure. Delivered on time and the order was correct. Should've gotten Poké. read more

Really enjoyed my lunch at Cava in Brea! The food here is fresh, tasty, and high quality. I enjoyed all of the options that they give you in a build your own bowl. I tried the honey harissa chicken and the braised lamb. Both of the meats were very delicious, the lamb was the standout for me in terms of flavor. I also really enjoyed their drinks with fresh cucumber limeade and a variety of natural sodas. The service was a bit slow, but I think it is because they just opened up. Overall, the food here is a winner, I would recommend. read more

2 stars cuz I love CAVA but this location needs better management. They are so inefficient and slow. All they need to do is follow the chipotle model. They always mess up my online order. ALWAYS read more

Honestly, my first time an any Cava restaurant. Impressed by the helpful assembly line of staff who seemed like they enjoying their work. Nice to see. Crispy falafel pita was well made and very tasty, that herb sauce and feta cheese made all the difference! Now I know why Cava is all the hype. read more

Recently opened, so I understand that it is busy and things are missing. Definitely not the best bowl I've ever gotten, because so many things were missing. Service was pretty fast for such a long line, but I had to ask for extra things in order to get a decent serving that I'd get at other CAVA locations. Very clean interior, and lots of seating despite how busy it was. read more

First time at Cava and I'm hooked. Tried the bowl with rice and romaine, chicken, and various other toppings. It was soooooo good! The staff was very patient as I slowly selected my toppings and dressings. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Good portion size, too. The place was very clean, staff was friendly and polite. I am eager to come back and try a different bowl. read more

I don't know what's going on, but I ordered a custom bowl and the amount of food given was not worth $15! Each item the employee was putting in was no more than a tablespoon! A tablespoon?? I'm not expecting an overflow of food, but to at least fill the bowl is reasonable. It was half full! And when I asked about it, the employees could care less. If I asked for more, it's extra. Excuse me, but you filled the bowl by half. So disappointing. I will not be returning to this location and I'm sad to see that other people experienced the same thing. read more

Britton was an amazing guy, very good service and very clean. Really liked the environment and very fast service overall.

Food is always solid, since it is a chain. But the service is not that great at this location. Forgot my friends order of pita chips and the pita for each of our bowls. These servers look like they don't want to be there and we are inconveniencing them by ordering. read more

Gassssssssssssssss 1000% recommend with hummus. pita bread is must try. Service is great.

The food was so amazing!! and The manager is very very nice! I felt like I was treated like family. Come to this cava! Also they put a lot of food! read more

Cava once again never ceases to dissapoint especially at this location. I dont understand whether or not its a management issue, but every time we've been to this location its been mismanaged and slow, and above all else inconsistent. I was charged 17 bucks for a lamb bowl, which was mostly water? I watched the worker grab a healthy and reasonable amount of meat for the price point, and put it back to get almost a third of what she originally grabbed, and grabbing mostly water? Excuse me? It was though it was being rationed, not even reaching the halfway point of the container. All the while watching a family with another worker taking their sweet time, getting loaded with stuff. Then my 15 dollar "shawarma" was like opening an MRE during war times, cold, flat, and hardly flavored. Like excuse me? And they had the nerve to give me a dirty look when I asked for my receipt like they knew Id be complaining about the service. Take this as a real human written review, and someone who sees food like this as unreasonably expensive, and downright disrespectful on the average persons wallet. read more

Move over Chipotle! My recent experience at Cava, checks the boxes Chipotle's doesn't: their well-curated menu has healthier options, their counter servers are more attentive and courteous, and the vibe is certainly more genteel and less harried. Some may argue that Chipotle's servings are more generous, but that varies significantly from place to place. At any rate, I just love the thought of having an alternative to Chipotle's! We tried their steak & harissa and Greek salad chef-curated bowls and were totally delighted by the interesting contrast of textures and spices, and the dressings are terrific (we favor the tzatziki and green harissa)! read more

Rude and slow service. The shift lead or whoever she was, was very passive aggressive. It's not like it was even busy to have that much attitude tending to a customer. read more
