    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.

    Total garbage. Just look at the menu photo and the photo I took of my meal. A picture is worth a thousand words. Never again. Zero stars.

    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!

I tried the matcha orange creamsicle and it was the most delicious drink I've ever had and the flavors paired so well in a way I didn't expect I was blown away!! The drinks are definitely sweet but delicious. Even though there's always a line I've never had issues with finding a table for a big group or waiting too long for food. I'd say the line usually takes 10-15 minutes on a weekend. This is a must try for anyone in Irvine.

I think they could've been more flexible, take the order and just have the kitchen prepare at a later time. The customer wouldn't just go back in line to place the order at noon. Also, I asked for an ice coffee and was charged and given an americano. Apparently they thought it's the same item? The coffee plastic cup was cheaply made and as soon as I put the lid back on the whole coffee poured everywhere. Sandwich was mediocre, rice was mediocre, coffee was not good.

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.
