CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Carson, California

Was skeptical at first because this isn't my type of food but it was so good. I love the DIY concept. But being able to crate your own bowl is great. I'm surprised the spicy sauce wasn't as bad when I got it either. their tzatziki sauce paired with the spicy sauce, rice & protein are so good. Also the crispy chips they serve it with, I believe it's pita! Service is great and fast. read more

This has been my favorite cava to go to (and I've been to ALOT!). They are extremely efficient. My to go orders are always ready prior to the estimated time and they get my order CORRECT!!! That means the world to me as a girly who makes edits and is particular. Also, the food is GOODT. Like I said, I've been to a Ton of Cavas and tho they generally taste similarly, some times you'll find a spot with a lil extra umph. This one has the umph and they don't skimp on the portions either. As far as set up/decor it's your usual CAVA by design. I'd say average size in comparison to other locations. But trust, this will be the one of choice if you're in the la area. This beats the LB one for me for sure and numerous la spots. read more

Served us stale pita chips. When we requested for a new one, they told us 10 mins. When 10 mins was up, we followed up and thats when they started to make a new batch. Took 25-30 mins for it. Its not even busy hour. Not worth the hype read more

Always very nice to visit cava at this place, fresh food, clean environment and awesome staff. montse was very nice providing professional service. Food was of course very good. read more

I've eaten at Cava many times and usual enjoy the food. Today I ordered online for a noon pick up. Got there at noon and food wasn't ready. A woman asked for my name and didn't come back. 2 minutes later she was leaving for a break or something. I waited another 8 minutes and could have just gone through the line by this point. Then another woman came out and said they were backed up and encouraged us to get in the long line to order. I waited in that line and then my name was called back at the initial order. Better to under promise on time and over deliver. The bowl had lots of hard green stems that needed to but thrown out or cut down in to smaller bites and the bowl tasted dry. Like they just put a little dressing. I won't order online from them again. read more

You guys always skimp and forget on pick up orders. Everytime I do a pick up order it literally has 4-5 pieces of chicken and I'm always missing something in my bowl. Workers always look miserable as well. read more

First time visiting. Went to the Carson location. Food was excellent, many choices and good size portions. Appreciate the guy at the counter who was very helpful and gave good advice on ordering. Will definitely be back for this! read more

Terrible first experience! My DoorDash order was missing rice and pita bread. I called the store and the manager Cory said they ran out of both of those items at 8:30PM when they close at 10PM, just terrible. My food tasted mediocre chicken was burned my dogs didn't even want to eat it! I paid $22 for this order. read more

This CAVA location has a nice ambiance, good food, and friendly workers, which I appreciate. The staff is always welcoming, and the overall atmosphere makes for a pleasant dining experience. However, the pita chips are always cold and that's disappointing. They never offer to make fresh ones which is frustrating especially since I come here often. If I'm spending my money I would rather go to another location where I can get the full experience and actually enjoy my meal. This spot has potential but they need to do better with consistency. read more

We absolutely LOVE CAVA, and today's visit was made even better thanks to the amazing service from Aaron! The food--as always--was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed. Whether it's the build-your-own bowl or one of their signature options, everything at CAVA hits the spot. We come here often, and it's consistently a great experience, but Aaron really went above and beyond to make this visit stand out. Huge shoutout to Aaron for the awesome service. read more

Great food and great service! All the staff is very kind and patient with the customers, even when the lines are super long. The cashier, Aaron, was nice and helped me out with my rewards app to scan for points. Overall, great experience and I'm happy CAVA is here in Carson! read more

Food is usually pretty good here only reason for a 2 star and i come here all the time. However placed an order to go like I usually do and as they were making it they helped like 6 walk ins as I'm sitting there waiting for my order. The order was sitting on the line as they walked by it again and again, just as a reference my order's ETA was 15 minutes and it took 25 minutes. read more

Great food and fast service. Chicken was delicious and staff was friendly and welcoming

This place in fairly new at the the Carson mall . While I was in town I decided to go check it out because it was still open after I got out of the gym. The place is like a Mediterranean fast food chipotle. You can get from their specialty bowls , salads and wraps. Or what everyone was getting which was build your own bowls , wraps and salads. I decided because it was my first time and I got one of the spicy wrap ( can't remember the name ) . But it was sorta pricey ( $17) . But they did loaded up and all the ingredients were fresh . The staff was friendly as well and worked super fast to get my order done on time . The wrap was spicy but super delicious and it was extremely loaded so it was almost justified that it was pricey. I did go another time and got a build your own bowls and it was cheaper but still they really loaded up .They also have an app that you can order before hand which is helpful. The seating area is clean and well kept the time I was there waiting for one of my orders. All in all it is a solid place to get a healthier fast food meal compared to the other options at the mall. It is one of my new go to places whenever I am in town. read more

I was excited to have a CAVA in Carson. It's always good when new restaurants move into the area and not just the typical fast food restaurants. I've been three times. Restaurant was clean and customer service was good. My only complaint was the consistency of the portion sizes. First time portion size was nice, my bowl was full. Second time I ordered thru the app for pick up. Don't do that. I ordered 3 bowls and all 3 bowls were done poorly, barely any food. Third time the portion size was okay. I had to tell them when certain food items looked scarce in my bowl. I have already complained about this issue and I was assured they are addressing it. For the prices they charge the consistency has to be there or I will have to stick with On +On in Gardena. read more

It was my first time here, honestly the food was absolutely delicious and the Pita chips are so good but unfortunately, the people working here and the manager on duty yesterday 7/28 were super rude and definitely not helpful at all. We spent over $80 so you think they would be a little more helpful... guess I won't be coming back. You guys have to retrain your staff because that was a trash customer service and I won't be coming back. read more

I visited this location last night and was dissatisfied. The workers were stiff and rude. When placing my order, the female attendant treated me like I was bothering her at work. Her attention to my bowl order was rushed, and to top it off, I was almost charged extra for items not received. Customer Service Training is severely needed. read more

This place is good..but it's always something. They often run out of main items like..chicken and pita bread?! Makes no sense but the biggest downfall is their online orders! Literally Everytime I've ordered online something is missing which also makes no sense. You literally print the label and go down the list of all that is ordered! I ordered two bowls which contained basically the same exact items. One bowl had three items missing and the other bowl actually had those items in it. So, if you have the time go in and order and hope they have the basics. Don't waste your time ordering online , i guarantee something will be missing! read more

I had great service from montse it was great the food was very good and i would come here again

Had a delicious pita wrap with tzatziki, crazy feta, and skhug dips with chicken, pickled veggies and salad. I would say this is top tier Mediterranean food, definitely the best option around Carson for a fresh and flavorful meal. Will 100% be back. read more

Second trip to CAVA in a month. I haven't been eating animal flesh for a minute so I got the Falafel Crunch Bowl both times. This review is commenting on my 2nd trip since I ordered for myself and got everything I wanted in the bowl--extras of falafel, roasted vegetables, and feta cheese I got the pita strips, a few tomatoes and pickled red onions. The bowl came with rice and black lentils. It was a nice size bowl - so I was happy. What I got was a killer combination. The bowl was sooooooo flavorful. I don't know that I've had a bowl that good even with meat in it. I had never had falafel so I'm not sure what other restaurants' falafels taste like. But these were delicious and cummin-ny with tender garbanzo beans. They are kinda like hush puppies. The roasted vegetables didn't look that appetizing but were delicious. Just everything was delicious about that bowl and the sauces I selected were the perfect complement. The bowl gave me two meals (I added a few more veggies on the 2nd day.) I can't wait to go back. CAVA you did a great job with that Falafel Crunch combo and made my meal a delightful eating experience. I gave CAVA a 5 because of the food, but my server wasn't really friendly. I asked a couple of questions to ensure I knew what I was trying and she wasn't as communicative/helpful as she could have been. The bowl was sooooooo good that the server's attitude won't keep me from going back. See you all next week. read more

New location at the Carson Mall. It's a good addition to the Mall. The set up is like chipotle/subway, in that you stand in line looking through the glass and ordering. The employees were very efficient and were moving a lot of lunchtime customers. The food was really clean, flavorful and filling read more

(1 Star) We decided to try CAVA today, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived, the door sign said they opened at 10:45 AM, but when we walked in at 11:00 AM, we were greeted with attitude and told they wouldn't be opening until 11:15 because they were behind. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and walked around the mall for a bit, returning at 11:30. When we came back, the restaurant looked like it hadn't been cleaned from the night before the floors were dirty, tables hadn't been wiped down, and the seats were messy. The customer service was just as disappointing. Yvette, in particular, had a noticeably rude and unwelcoming attitude. To make things worse, they were completely out of feta cheese, and when we ordered pita chips, they recommended a dipping sauce but didn't mention it was an extra charge even though the chips really needed it. The food itself was good, but the service and cleanliness were unacceptable. Based on this experience, we won't be returning to CAVA. read more

Went here for the first time 11/9 since my wife has been wanting to try it. We go there around 6 and the place smelled and looked good. Unfortunately the customer service from Jesse was awful. As we were ordering we kept asking questions since it was our first time. He kept getting irritated and rushing us when we would ask about sauces or what was in a bowl. It was to the point that we just took the bowl as it was and didn't ask anymore questions. We should have definitely just left after his rudeness but still tried it. Food was okay but definitely feel like it would have been better if we knew what we were ordering. read more

Natalie was great she made the food awesome and also had great customer service would highly recommend this place because of her.
