This is some of the best healthy food, and the tastes, oh boy! It is really good! I love the lamb and vegetables as well as the garnishes that they put in there. I even love the diet Mexican soda! read more

A solid 3.5 which means, I would go back! Refreshing with a few misses. Food, good, however I had quite a few pieces of wilted lettuce, and the pita chips were stale. The garlic sauce was strange to me and a bit too concentrated tasting. I had the chicken pita, and it totally hit the spot while not feeling too heavy. A lot of people compare CAVA to Chipotle and that's not far. Same concept but totally different taste profile. I loved their freshly brewed teas/juices. My favorite would have to be the pineapple apple mint. The service wasn't anything great, and it wasn't bad either. It was busy when I went there, and that's ok. read more

Absolutely LOVE Cava. Can't express enough how good their bowls are and taste just as good the next day. Side note, their house made teas are amazing. read more

Ayo imagine paying $16 for the bowl to be filled up halfway?! Did a pickup order and was excited to eat a hearty bowl after my workout class. This bowl just looks sad. Also my pita bread was just thrown onto the floor of my bag, there was no wrapper around it. Do better Cava. read more

We've been coming to this spot for a while now. We've experienced bad customer service from this place, but kept coming because we love the food.

Definitely will keep coming here. read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

I ordered food to go for lunch. My wife and I picked our own salads. We literally designed our own. Ordering on their webpage was easy. The location is 10 minutes fro my house. I was texted updates on how long it would take. In my way, the finish time went from 12-10-8 minutes. So it was ready right before I got there. They have shelves where they put the to go containers. Easy to pick up. The place was busy, but seemed clean. I wasn't there long enough to see anything else. When I got home we each ate our salads. We were both happy with what we ordered. My salad was great. The ingredients were tasty. There was nothing I didn't want on it. It was simply delicious. We will definitely get to go fro here again. read more

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

I feel like the food is getting worse every time I go there.... Which isn't often any more. When it first opened, I definitely understood while they were working all the bugs out, but the quality of the food was good, even though service was slow and they ran out of many things. We decided to get dinner there last night and it was by far the worst yet. I got the steak bowl and it was subpar....really the meat was over cooked and trust me I like my meat very well done. The veggies were ok. The side toppings were lacking. Overall it was a disappointment for my whole family. I'm not sure we will be rushing back there any time soon. read more

this cava is so mid compared to others, the flavor doesn't hit as much as usual. it's clean and nice inside though. the girl with the septum and arm tats gave me a diabolical portion of chicken and blessed up customer behind me who was a fine ahh guy. like girl why did i get half a scoop of chicken and you gave him 3 damn scoops read more

Cava is one of my favorite places to grab a healthy meal. It is like a chipotle, but with Mediterranean food. I usually order half rice half lentil and either raised lamb or chicken. You can't go wrong. read more

Cava - Missing my hummus and crazy feta!!!!!! Ugh!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

Second time coming! Loved it so much the first time I had to come back on my bday for lunch! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back again. read more

Second time back and just as good! Kids loved the vegan options and had a pleasant experience in this ambiance.

We have eaten in the restaurant, but mainly order for pickup. Because of our busy schedules we rely on the ability to order ahead to pick up our food for the family. Today we had the Falafel crunch bowl and a Pita. Well, the crunch bowl only had 2 pieces of falafel in it, whereas when we have eaten in the restaurant there was at least 4-5 pieces. This is very disappointing and frustrating when we rely on trust that our orders will be done correctly. You just lost a handful of customers, Cava. read more

Absolutely LOVE Cava! Harissa Honey Chicken 10/10 - good combination of seasoning and a hint of sweetness Spicy Lamb Meatballs 8/10 - great flavor just not the best meat they offer Braised Lamb 10/10 - very soft and tender -juicy and not hard to chew Great seasoning Pita Chips 10/10 - a must have with your bowl They have a large variety of option to add to your bowl! I go all out and would recommend taking advantage of their vast options. It creates a bust of flavor with every bite. Their bowls are large and can be enough for two people or even two meals. Downfall to this popular location is there tends to be a very long line. Regardless of that the workers are very friendly and will explain items to you and recommend things. read more

Ramses and Hannah were friendly and efficient. The food was fresh and flavorful and location has plenty of parking

We heard of Cava but never tried it, delighted to see one open in Norwalk! Food was perfect and choices were endless.. definitely a spot to come Back for delicious and healthy. read more

We have been to this location 3 times. This place is a hit or miss. Please DOUBLE CHECK your receipt. We have been charged extra for protein we didn't even get. There's one girl that looks like she hates her job, and she usually tells the cashier that you got a premium protein when you only got regular chicken. They also don't listen when you tell them which sides you want. The food is good, but they need to work on their listening and customer service skills. read more

The food is amazing! I'm always in the mood for cava. Every time I've gone I'm greeted by the staff and the overall service is great.

I've never been to Cava before and this location is amazing!! They were incredibly friendly and made my first visit great!

Cava - Harissa Avocado Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

First time here yesterday and it was busy! Cava is like a mediterranean chipotle where you can build your own and there is also set items. I had no clue what I wanted and there's no menu up on top on the board. Just small stickers of the choices available on the glass. I felt kind of rushed with the servers and was telling them it was my first time. Overall though the food was great, the service not so much. I will be coming back for sure because it was just so good! read more

Cava - Aaron was such a huge help and listened to my order. Love this place - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

If you've never had Cava before, I'd describe it as similar to Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. They offer a variety of pre made bowls and build your own bowls. I opted for a build your own bowl. They offer a ton of options here, which is appreciated and I've never gone wrong with anything I've tried. With that being said, I'd say the food here can get pricey and it's not worth the quality and quantity of food you're getting. For close to $20 for my bowl, I wouldn't say that it was worth it. I've been to locations in Irvine and Pasadena and I'd say they skimp a bit more on portions at this location. Service here is friendly, however, it does get loud so when I was ordering, I had a hard time hearing the worker and vice versa. Because of this, my order came out partially wrong. The ambiance here is super casual and you can grab any table that's available and everything is self service. It's located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. read more

I was so excited to try this and it definitely lives up to the hype! I was a little bummed to learn that their falafel has gluten, but I still got a wonderful bowl full of vegetarian and gluten free goodies. The lines are LONG! It's best to go online and get an idea of what you'd like to help things move along. Their menus are also small and it's hard to see the options, so definitely have it open on your phone. A 30 person line took us about 12 min to get to the front. They have tons of veggies and toppings! I went on a Sunday night and they were out of a lot of things, but still had lots to pick from. Their sauces are amazing! I would definitely take this to go due to how crowded the restaurant gets with the crazy lines. I was satisfied and felt like I got my moneys worth. read more

Cava has something special and the potential to become like Chipotle in the Mediterranean cuisine space. They offer one price to load up your bowl with as much protein and veggies as you want. One major difference I noticed about Cava is that they offer more dips, veggie, and meat selections, making the possibilities endless compared to their competitors. If there is an improvement that can be made about this restaurant, it would be keeping the working station and tables clean and sanitary. Veggies were spread all over the working station, and the cleanliness of the dining tables was an issue. I ordered the Build-Your-Own-Bowl, which was packed with all the choices possible, although it was difficult to explain what was in it. Overall, it was good. I would definitely try Cava again because I like their business model, which has infinite possibilities. read more

I love CAVA! I just say I left a bad review after my last CAVA experience because of Door Dash! I will remember to drive down and walk in to place my order! Everything about this bowl hit!

Cava - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love CAVA, I just wish there were more of them but I get it. The one it bitty hang up I have ... isn't the food at all, everything is always fresh and I haven't had any issues me personally but!!! I'm sorry I have to say this but some of the employees at the Long Beach traffic circle alway look as tho they'd rather be somewhere else, or having a Blah day. Now I get it, rush hour (lunch time) can be brutal but GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY ALL OF THE TIME? And it's some of the female staff. Sheesh it's like all the time you don't want to be there. And let me clarify, the ladies have never done anything to me but it's only the fact that, there is no eye contact, there is no crack a smile and your tone. I just want to hug them! Other than that CAVA FOOD IS DELICIOUS read more

The service was fast and Seth was professional at the register. Will recommend to anyone wanting food in the traffic circle. read more

The service was amazing. Staff was friendly and super helpful and the food was delicious

usually our spot for cava.. but today wasn't good.. we got there at 10 pm, 5/16 and after we got the meal and started eating.. found out the rice wasn't cooked and was raw. now my stomach hurts and i've been on the toilet. ive had my fair shares of bad moments at this location so i won't be coming here anymore and don't recommend it. read more

DONT PLACE YOUR ORDER ONLINE! Me and my friend have eaten here multiple times and get the same order but the times we order online, they serve us SO LITTLE! I thought maybe it was just one mistake but I've ordered online a total of four times and STILL GET SUPER SMALL PORTION SIZES as opposed to getting it in person. I'm sure they do this because we're not looking at them serve our food. SMH.. sorry yall just tryna look out for you guys cuz it's already expensive as it is read more

First off the food here is delicious! I went here for the first time after driving past this location and wondering why it is always so packed. Now I understand why, it's a Mediterranean place that allows you to pick your base, your greens, your meat, your toppings, and your dressing. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Service is good, friendly staff. They were all efficient. Ambiance is nice, order your food, grab your drink, and seat down in the dining area to enjoy your food. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a healthy meal option. I left feeling healthy and not heavy! read more

Cava - Build my own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Long Beach, California

Let's start off by saying that CAVA is delicious but... this place is dirty. Period. First impressions are everything and at this location I was not impressed. Service was mid with the staff looking like they hated their life. We opted to eat inside and I did not see one person wipe down tables or sweep the lobby the 40 minutes we were there. The lobby was trashed with crumbs on EVERY TABLE and on the floor. It's not like that it was super busy. The line eventually stopped and one of the employees even had time to lean back on counter as if her store wasn't trashed. We also did not receive our complementary pita that comes with the bowls . I must say the Whittier location is much better in service and cleanliness. read more

Long Beach Cava, you need some work! Ever since the grand opening, they have had struggles managing the flow of customers and demand for food items. The line is always out the door, which isn't a big deal, but it's super slow, and there is always a hold in line for another customer. I also noticed they run out of ingredients. It's been mostly the same employees since they opened, and they seem exhausted and don't look like they want to interact with customers. Cava is also asking you to leave a 5-star review for free pita bread, which is a big no-no. Hopefully, they can turn it around when the hype dies down and start being consistent like the good ol Culver City location. I will still return because this is the only location near me. read more
