    Kids meal
    Michelle T.

    Food is really good here! I finally got to try the restaurant, which I have heard great things about. I like the counter/quick serve style with the patio and inside seating options. I actually visited two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much! The first time I ordered a bowl and shared with my guy, the second time I got my own kid's meal and that was plenty of food. The bowl is pretty good size, I def couldn't finish one myself. The hummus is so good and the sauces/dips are delicious. They do limit you to a few of each when you get the bowl, and then you get minimal options with the kid's meal. I tried the chicken and it had a very good flavor that went well with the rice and veggies. Unlimited toppings are offered, which is great because I love the corn, grilled veggies and cucumber/tomato options. The fountain drink and tea/juice options are great - definitely higher level than most fast food places. Prices are fair for what you get.

    Always enjoy eating at cava! Ordered online and picked up. Spacious parking lot out front. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly workers and always a good time.

    A good spot for a quick meal that's better if you order in person. There a decent amount of parking nearby in the plaza. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. I usually take the food to go and the few times that I have dined in, I found it difficult to find a table that was clean. You order cafeteria style and pay at the end of the line. I order food from here frequently because of the convenience. I enjoy being able to customize the meals so that they fit everyone's dietary needs. Every time I go in person, my order is correct, but every time that I've tried ordering online, my order has been way off with lots of ingredients either missing or in the wrong person's bowl. They use good quality ingredients and the portions are generous. The size of your bowl may vary depending on what you order/add into it. Some of the workers have been trying to offer freebies in exchange for 5 star reviews mentioning their names which was very off-putting. Regardless, I will still happily pick up meals from here.

    Stopped by CAVA for a quick lunch and it honestly hit the spot. I built a bowl with chicken + all the toppings, and everything tasted fresh -- lots of flavor, good portion sizes, and the veggies actually tasted crisp instead of soggy. The roasted corn, pickled onions, and avocado always pull the bowl together for me. The pita on the side was warm and soft, and the dressings were balanced without being overly salty or heavy. It's one of those spots where you know exactly what you're getting, and it's consistently good. Service was quick even during a rush, and they didn't skimp on portions (huge win). Outdoor seating was clean and easy to grab. Solid, reliable option when you want something fast but still flavorful.

    Alex and Robert and Levi were amazing!!! I love Cava, would recommend the braised lamb either way salad here. The best quick meal in the area. Nice and clean seating area and great service!

The unlimited salad bar is honestly the highlight. You can load up on cucumbers, broccoli, fresh veggies, tons of dressings, and even premade salads. I love being able to customize everything and go back for all my favorite toppings without limits. They also have a solid variety of hot foods including pizza and soups like chicken noodle, chili, posole, and clam chowder. There's also a baked potato station and an ice cream bar, which makes it feel like a full all-in-one buffet experience. Even though it was pretty crowded when I went, I was impressed with how clean and well stocked everything stayed. Staff kept things moving and refilled quickly. The only thing I would note is that the chicken noodle soup was a bit plain in broth for my taste, so I recommend adding toppings to make it a little more balanced and flavorful. Overall, it's a great spot if you like variety and building your own plate. I'd definitely come back, but I'd recommend arriving right when they open because the line gets long fast

The breakfast burrito was filled to a good size and came with a side of tator tots and small salad. The entire plate was pretty satiating and tasty. The only thing I would change is the quantity of salsa as the little cup was nearly not enough. I must say, I was impressed with the iced matcha latte as I didn't think it would be as good as it was. It comes pre-sweetened with agave but thankfully wasn't too sweet. The service was ok, nothing special or to write home about. We sat outside and our food was brought to us and then plates were picked up after we were done eating. Next time I'd like to sit inside and enjoy the effort they've put into the decor.

I ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich to go, and unfortunately it was the messiest sandwich I've ever gotten from them. It was so overloaded with sauce that the bread became completely soggy, so nothing held together. Every bite had the filling falling out, making it really difficult (and frustrating) to eat. It honestly felt like it was put together in a rush without much care. Because of that, I didn't enjoy it the way I normally do, which was disappointing since I usually love this sandwich. I still like Mendocino Farms overall, but based on this experience, I'd suggest being cautious at this location--maybe ask for the sauce on the side if you're ordering to go. It might be better dining in, but this visit definitely didn't live up to the standard I'm used to.
