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.

The chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly, the rice was packed with flavor, and the fries? Hot, crispy, and golden--just how I like them. I also added a side of garlic sauce, and I'm so glad I did. It was creamy, bold, and perfect for dipping fries (and honestly, everything else). You can tell they put real care into every part of the meal. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, even just during a quick pickup. The restaurant was spotless, and I noticed how clean and inviting the dining area looked. Bonus: parking was super easy with plenty of spots right in front. I can't wait to come back with my family.

I arrived about 20 minutes after placing the order but still had to wait another 20 minutes, making the total wait time about 40 minutes. The beef shawarma was disappointing--it wasn't thinly sliced as expected but more like chopped or minced beef, and the flavor just wasn't up to par. I also ordered three kibbeh balls but only received two; the third was oddly replaced with chicken nugget pieces. The chicken tawook wrap was poorly prepared, lacked flavor, and was very underwhelming. Overall, the food didn't taste good, and with the long wait and odd substitutions without considerations. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Here my go to is usually the lamb Jairo or the lamb chops but lately I've been trying to try different things. I am happy I chose to do this as I have found items that I have loved that I just hadn't tried. I had this year tuna one day and it was really good. It was perfectly cooked and it had a good sauce but the one item that I was honestly surprised was the half roasted chicken. I tend not to order chicken at restaurants because I am worried that the chicken will be dry, but that was definitely not the case here. The chicken was really good and I will definitely get it again. My boyfriend tried it and he wanted to switch dishes, but I absolutely did not allow him to. The chicken was just very juicy and tender. For the sides, I used to always get hummus, but I didn't know that they had an eggplant dip similar to baba ghanoush. Now that I have tried it, it is my go to. You can really taste a roasted eggplant in there and the texture is similar to hummus. My other go to side are the artichoke hearts because they are so big they are roasted and it's a good portion. Overall this remains to be one of my favorite restaurants in the area and I will be back.

Great service, friendly environment and delicious food, what more can you ask for?…read more We got the falafel platter appetizer, solid first course and definitely shareable with 4+ people. The pesto was preferred over the Bolognese. The Mediterranean salad was tastier than the Caesar. The meat lovers is a good option if you're indecisive. This place can accommodate a large party (6+) but it may be a bit snug. Parking can be tough since it's a popular plaza.

I usually love Panini Grill and count on them for consistent food and service, but my first visit…read moreto the Brea location today was a total mess. My friend and I had lunch on the patio and waited a solid 30 minutes just to get water. The service was painfully slow and careless; tables around us were left uncleaned, and when our food arrived, we had no utensils. After asking the food runner and waiting around while our meals got cold, my friend finally had to get up and track down silverware herself. When the waiter finally acknowledged us, he literally threw the utensils onto the table. Then, when we asked for extra napkins, he actually put his hand up to block us and just walked away. I was so shocked by the blatant rudeness that I called for the manager. While the manager apologized and gave us a free dessert, a sweet treat doesn't fix a total lack of professionalism. If employees hate being there that much, they shouldn't be working in hospitality! Management is also to blame by keeping them employed. When reading some of the other reviews, seems like service is really lacking here and the waiters have major attitude problems. The food is always great, but this type of behavior and level of disrespect makes me never want to come back. I will take my money elsewhere.
