Found a larva in my bowl I have seen repeated sanitation issues at this Cava. Staff talk over the food with actual spit landing in the containers, they put items that fell on the counter back into the containers, and the trash is always overfilled. I kept overlooking it because there are not many healthy options in this plaza. But finding a giant larva today is absolutely the last straw.

First time visiting this spot and I found the food very tasty. I ordered a bowl with roasted vegetables, rice, kale and topped with a garlic dressing. The ingredients were fresh but the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected. The food is prepared at different stations allowing you to customize your bowl. There are an array of toppings from mild to spicy. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which, I appreciated.

Chicken Bowl

Cava has always been good to me. I never really had a bad experience here. Everything tastes super fresh and flavorful. I love eating here because of how nutritionally dense their meal is. You get your protein, carbs, veggies, and the fat from natural sources like yogurt and chickpeas. I got the basmati rice and lentils with chicken. At the time that I went, there seemed to be a rush before and they ran out of a lot of the proteins including chicken and steak. They notified me of a little wait time which I was fine with. At the end, they gave me a drink on the house for the inconvenience. They also packed my bowl which allowed me to have some leftovers the next day. Super considerate employees! This place is my new favorite place to get cava. I've always been satisfied with my experience.

Garlicky chicken shwarma
Nick S.

Stopped by CAVA for lunch and even though it was pretty busy, the wait times weren't bad at all. Food (4/5): I ordered the garlicky chicken shawarma in a pita wrap. Flavor was great and everything was customizable, much like Chipotle but with a Mediterranean twist. One tip: if you're getting the pita wrap to go, I'd recommend having the sauces on the side--it can get pretty messy. I enjoyed it thoroughly, though I'd probably eat in next time. Ambiance (4/5): Clean, modern, and very much a fast-casual vibe. It's a nice spot, but parking can be tricky since it's right next to Panda Express and other popular lunch options. Service (4/5): Staff was friendly and helpful, keeping things moving quickly despite the lunch rush. Overall: Solid lunch option--fresh, tasty, and customizable. I'd definitely come back.

Grains Bowl

I have come to this Cava many times because of its convenient location, but my experience is always hit or miss. I either walk out very satisfied or unsatisfied. I have had experiences where the staff are very friendly and welcoming. However, other times they are not welcoming at all and the customer service is below average. This day the service was not the best unfortunately . They were also running low or completely out of some toppings in the afternoon, which was disappointing. The portions were a bit small as well. Everything tasted great though. Also, the cashier was very kind and helpful, which was nice! I love Cava, so I will definitely be returning, but it's just disappointing at times.

Bowl. $21.91. Braised Lamb and Lamb Meatballs.

This location replaced Ian's favorite Pizza place when he was growing up. Darn... I got a bowl to go. Portions size was not in line with the price that was charged. I was starving after this bowl. (-2) They were out of Chicken during my visit. (-1) Employees were very detail in explaining that they were out of Chicken, how the system works, etc. (+1) Good customer service, expensive food. I wanted to try this chain, and I did. Just on the price alone, I would not be returning. Sorry.

Cava has been our favorite go to meal for awhile now but as good as the meal already is, it is so much better when you get the toasted pita chips to eat alongside it! The staff here was patient and able to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our dinner here and we will definitely be back !

The employee was really friendly and upbeat, just like the one in Fullerton. She also reminded me about the upcharge for the braised lamb, which is always a kind gesture. The canned water is also great, and I would choose Cava over other fast food and fast casual dining options. The sauces taste just right, a bit tart, and even though I usually don't like food when it's too saucy, I couldn't go without the red pepper hummus and the green stuff. There wasn't much of a line, but I'm sure it gets packed! It looks and feels very clean, so I'm glad they opened last November. I haven't tried any of their drinks yet, but plan to in the near future.

Stopped by on a weekday for a late lunch and it was super busy but so goooood! It did take long to get my food, could be because of the lunch rush but also because it's a new place still trying establish an efficient flow of service. Servers were friendly but definitely stressed due to the crowd, I felt bad. It was difficult to see what the choices were for building your own bowl because they are on the windows separating us from the food and in tiny font. You couldn't see the options until you were already supposed to order so that maybe could've been why the line was getting backed up too. I ended up building my own bowl and here were some of the highlights. -Grilled Chicken: Super flavorful and was good on its own, sauce not necessary! 5/5 -Harissa Dip: It's pretty spicy but very tasty! Kind of tastes like sun dried tomatoes but with a peppery kick. 4/5 -Schug: I wasn't a huge fan of this, too much parsley flavor. I like Luna Grill's better. 2/5 -Pita Chip strips: These added a nice crunch to the soft ingredients of the bowl! 4/5 In regard to presentation... -I do wish they gave more of the dips and put them on the side because they get lost under all the ingredients and get mixed in. You can't really dip pita bread in it. -It's always great having options but it's a little overwhelming at this place! Too many ingredients, you start to get lost in all the various flavors and can't really identify what you're even eating anymore. I'd probably get less ingredients next time. -I had a hard time eating this because it overfilled with so many ingredients, it either spilled when I mixed it or I got too many of one ingredient in the bite because I couldn't mix it properly. Maybe that's a me problem though! Overall, I definitely understand the hype around this place. I really enjoyed my food, the flavors were great even if a bit overwhelming! I hope this new location and the company itself work out their kinks though because it's got so much potential.

Salad
Randy C.

My nephew invited me to try this mediterranean salad bar to hangout and it is much much better than Chipotle.. good quantity on the protein servings (got chicken) lots of different toppings you get 3 different sauces though it is a small scoop of sauce but it is 3 different scoop.. you get a free pita bread (a small one) but the salad is delish and on the healthy side. service is satisfactory despite of the other staff busy chit chatting.. ambiance is welcoming very spacious inside and good parking.. will definitely come back.

Food is pretty decent here. I always get it to-go. Sometimes they overcook the grilled fish but…read moreusually it's perfect. But customer service is not great. It's never a welcoming vibe and when I pick up my order. Earlier this evening, the girl working the counter with her RBF completely ignored me as she was doing something and I stood in front of her. Normally, that is fine- I get it, she can only concentrate on doing one thing. Putting something in a bag, and can't say hello or "I'll be with you in a second" but she continued to ignore me for a few minutes and after she called out the order of one person she rudely said "name?" After I told her my name, she grabbed my bag behind her and "plopped" it down in front of me without saying a word. Before I walked away, I asked her if there were utensils in the bag and she turned around and grabbed a set and literally threw it in my bag. Still did NOT say one word! Rude and disrespectful.

The service here is honestly superb, it's fast, efficient, and the staff really seems to have their act together. I'm also a big fan of the layout; the inside is always clean, and the outside patio seating is great when the weather is nice. I think the move here is definitely Taco Tuesday. The tacos are around $3.50 to $4, which is a great deal considering the fish tastes super fresh. They're a really good size, too. you actually feel like you're getting your money's worth. My only complaint is that there isn't enough seating inside for people who want to dine in. It can get pretty cramped, so if the patio is full or the weather isn't great, it's a bit of a struggle to find a spot. Overall, it's a perfect, reliable spot for a quick and fresh lunch.

.., meet Whittier's Uptown hero!…read more My experience here was from 6/26/26 & it did not disappoint. Though I've been to Uptown Provisions twice before to support my friend Andrew M, as well as my other friend Andrew P. with Satori Coffee Project, this was my actual visit where I finally ate! Third times the charm! Tucked nicely into a Penn St. neighborhood, Uptown Provisions can easily be spotted by the loyal patrons waiting/dining outside. May the street parking gods be kind to you as they always provide me with a spot nearby. Knowing what I already wanted from doing my menu homework the night prior, I was practically drooling on my way in. Greeted by a great staff & friendly fellow patrons, I felt right at home. I went with the "Tom's Way" sandwich. Dedicated to one of their favorite customers, it's a crossover between an egg sandwich & a pastrami. It was perfect! Chef Aaron describes his sandos as the perfect West Coast sandwich, & that I can totally agree with. Tom's Way provided me with a robust sandwich blend that never knew I needed until now. Each component's flavor profile blended together nicely. I'm usually hit or miss with rye bread, but this rye hit the mark & held the ship together. The eggs were made with care & prepared in a way I've never tasted before, very delicious. Pastrami was tender, pickled onions provided the bitter tangy component while the broccoli slaw became the soothing blanket that nestled every flavor together. I absolutely loved my sandwich. They post a 20 minute wait time but I got mine in 15. Great things come to those who wait. They do not have a public bathroom so plan your visit accordingly. They have a few counter seats inside with plenty more outdoor seating in front with friendly locals chatting it up. Don't be shy with the napkins. Thank you Uptown Provisions for a great experience, I shall return!
