I love Cava! The workers here are so efficient and William is the best. Parking was easy!

Amazing foood, one of the best Mediterranean bowls. Had tried in LA and now here in Bentonville, it is going to be my go-to food read more

The food is delicious and the staff is absolutely above and beyond the best. William and his associates made us feel like family and took the best care of our party. I cannot recommend this establishment enough. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I will definitely be back soon read more

CAVA - The best meal you will have in LA - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food and service was great! They style of serving is similar as chipotle. Would come back read more

Almost a four, but not quite. Decent spot for a fast casual Mediterranean meal on the USC campus. Food was good but didn't especially stand out for us. I do appreciate the options for healthier choices and this fits the bill. The order process for us got a bit hectic as they hadn't kept up their supply of pitas and so my husband had to wait several minutes after our food was prepared to get his choice "built". Also, perhaps I missed them in our rush, but I would've loved the choice of garbanzo beans as an add-on topping. Limited indoor seating as I recall, but awesome patio seating on the village if it's a nice day (which this being LA is likely often!). read more

I ordered on uber eats and more than 2 of my items were missing. They gave me the wrong drink, i am missing my pita bread, and my extra side of rice. I am sad. read more

Workers are completely checked out & don't greet customers or even exchange two words. No utensils available and the worker barely offered any. This makes it appear that management doesn't care about the restaurant. Avoid this location if you can read more

Don't order by Uber eats here it been 3x they messed up my order recently I order harissa avocado bowl and didn't come with avocado, feta cheese or lettuce or my pita bread all which I selected and paid $27 for it ! read more

Awesome! Great service! Great location for the locals. First time here and it went without a hitch! Looking forward to coming again.

Cava has the best salads ever! You will find a variety of options and they are all delicious. I usually order ahead for faster service.

One of the worst Cava I been too and it's sad to say really I love there food but they need to start firing ppl for not doing there job and get people that actually care. NO ONE WANTED TO HELP ME and I use too work here it not that hard to be nice to someone but to get pass down to person to person for a pita that you paid online for really suck and to get ignored just makes a person wanna stop coming. Once i got my pita I told the person how I feel getting ignored she told me that's she just started her shift and has nothing to do with it. They need to tell the manager ERIC how to train people on there customer Service not just that but my food looks terrible no pita no dressing read more

This is the worst Cava restaurant I've been to, and one of the worst restaurants run in general. They were out of half the food when I showed up at 7:30 last night, but the employees were the ones that made this experience intolerable. The two guys told me to wait for the rest of the ingredients which they said would be ready in 3 minutes, after 10 minutes of waiting I asked when would the food be ready. The same employee told me they're out for the day. I asked him why they didn't just tell me that in the first place. Then he has the nerve to say "these customers are always talking s#!t" out loud. Mind you, I was being polite when I asked and they were already loudly cursing amongst themselves while I was waiting but this time it was directed at me. I'm a regular too out of convenience. And the service here has always been rough around the edges but to be disrespected like this, enough is enough! On top of this, the food itself is soooo overpriced as it is. The portions are getting smaller and they're charging for an extra scoop of rice now. On top of that I've been reading the reviews of the same experience from customers, expensive and small portions, abusive employees screaming profanities, constantly out of food, followed by a weak apology from management on yelp with nothing changed. After spending all this money here looks like I'm officially done with this complete mess of a chain. At least my sodium levels will be normal again. read more

This is the worst Cava location there is. Unfortunately, it is the closest location to my job but they have given me the wrong order too many times. Im officially done. I'm not sure who they have running the online pick up orders, but they need to do better. read more

I used to love cava but after today I will not be returning. There was a guy walking around eating chips and licking his fingers in front of the food station that's serving everyone. Next to him are three workers huddled up looking at their phone while we just wait to be helped. Seems dirty and food quality is just not as good a before, greens are always stale and look past their due date and they never have chicken. The kids that work there just look like they hate their job. Went today around 6pm May 30, 2024 read more

I'm a big fan of cava and have had it many times, but haven't had it until recently at this location. While it was a great bowl, I feel like the chicken was not the greatest. In fact, I ate around the chicken. I would eat here again, but would maybe order something other than chicken. read more

It's very mid tbh. I come here sometimes but the slow line stops me from coming. I enjoy the food but I can't order online bc they'll fill it up 1/4th of the way. read more

The food is super good and vegan. You won't be disappointed! Plus the workers are friendly and the environment is safe. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

CAVA = A Middle Eastern Chipotle. Literally. Instead of your typical American-Mexican ingredients, you got Middle Eastern. You order down a line, selecting your grains, veggies, protein, sauces, toppings etc. It felt like a healthier version of fast food. I wish Cava offered more grain selections instead of just rice or black lentils. It would have been really cool to see wheatberries, farro, barley, or quinoa as options, but I guess that isn't very Middle Eastern? Anyways, I LOVE Tahini but I also wish they gave more of it instead of just zig zagging across the top. $12 for a bowl isn't bad but it wasn't very filling either. I'd probably come back if there weren't any other good options around. Not super stoked about this place, but it wasn't bad either! read more

Although we like the food, this CAVA location isn't a great one to go to. The staff is always super duper slow, where the line is always held up, and we were never greeted well. They always mumble where no one can listen and I've been told different instructions at different times what I can or cannot have with the same bowl order. You can see employees milling around inside not worrying about trying to get customers through quickly. It's very disappointing given how we do like the concept, but the service part is enough to discourage us from going anymore. read more

I LOVE this place. I am so sad they are temporarily closed due to COVID. This is probably the only place that would have been my "go-to" takeout place. Thankfully, they also have a branch in Pasadena but this one is closer to me. Back when they were open, they validate for free two-hour parking. Their portions are huge for me and one bowl feeds me for two meals at least. I always get the Greens + Grains Bowl. I either get their SuperGreens or SplendidGreens, Saffron White Rice with their Tzatziki, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and the regular Hummus spreads. For the protein, they let me get half Grilled Meatballs (two pieces) and half Roasted Vegetables. If you order online (in the Pasadena location), the site also lets you split your choice of Protein that way. Their Toppings is where they really shine for me. I love pickled things so their variety really makes it for me. I always get the Cabbage Slaw, Tomato & Onion, Diced Cucumber, Tomato & Cucumber, Cauliflower Quinoa Tabbouleh, Pickled Onions, and Peral Couscous. Their Dressings also make me drool. I get their Yogurt Dill and Lemon Herb Tahini. They also give you a free pita bread with any bowl order. It's always consistent, refreshing, healthy, and filling. I've loved this place ever since I tried it when I visited Washington DC. I'm SO glad they finally came to LA! They are SO much better than Chipotle, in my opinion. read more

This location is meh Soda flat No ice Outta the options you really want luckily the stuff you gotta settle for is still okay? It's on campus tho so read more

considering how expensive a bowl can get, this location gives small portions compared to other cava locations :(

I've only ever been to 2 other cavas and the experience has been great. But this locations sucks. Its the worst. I understand that it's pack bc of the students and location, but they prioritize mobile orders and bc of that the line is literally wrapping around. I was in line and when I finally got to order there was no greeting no acknowledgment nothing just an employee making the mobile orders. I stood there for a while finally after 10 bowls that he made he asked what I was having. No, hi how are you? Sorry about the wait nothing just what I was having and he push my pita to the line. Then the second employee Joshua ( I know his name bc he actually had a name tag) looked so uninterested. He never acknowledged me either didn't ask if I wanted any modifications to my pita nothing just moved it along. while i was moving along the food looked messy. the veggies were spilling out.There was hummus on the table feta crumbs. it was disaster. read more

FIRST TIME having CAVA! Ordering simple b/c it's basically styled like Chipotle or Panda Express where you just choose what you want and start eating right away! A little more pricy than Chipotle and a little less filling, but I don't come by Mediterranean food often. I took ONE bite and I LOVED it. The combination of flavors was on point (I got a grain bowl w/ half brown rice, half lentil rice, half falafel, half beef meatball, and all of the add-ons [except beets....can't do beets] with the Green Harissa to top it off). I went on a Sunday for lunch. ~Pros: Their spicy sauces are a perfect kick to the food! They let you go half and half on a lot of things like the rice and lentils and the protein selections. It's nice how they have options to sit inside the restaurant as well as outside. ~Cons: My meat ball was a a hint to salty, but it could be b/c I'm a weakling when it comes to salty meat. ~RETURN: I would definitely come back, but sparingly because they're a $$ place with their bowls starting off at $10.30 min. They have an app that has a rewards system embedded into it to earn points and order w/o having to wait in line. read more

I ordered on the app and got told that my order would be ready in a half an hour. So I drove and came to pick up my order and when I got there, they said they needed another half an hour until it was ready. That means it took a full hour for me to get an online order. It wouldn't be a big deal if the initial estimate had been that it would take an hour. But I left on my lunch break and I didn't have the ability to stay that long. There needs to be some accountability. I love the food at cava, but their management system is terrible. read more

I love the food here. Service is always quick and the food and portions is always great! My fav is the Salad bowl with the new steak !

Worst management and customer service here at this branch. Made an online order and the app gave me a 14 minute estimate but it took more than 45 minutes to complete. I paid for lambs order and they were out and substituted with chicken even though I paid extra. Called and manager had an attitude and was not helpful. Otherwise food is good and that is why I did not give one star. read more

Lots of 1 star reviews about the service and I can see why. At least 10 employees 4 hustling behind the counter, 1 looking like she's ready to quit, cry or scream and 5 hanging out in the quad waiting for class to start . Luckily none of that mattered because we got the best service from Seth! Seth knows good customer service. It was our first time at Cava and Seth was patient with us and explained all of our options. Seth told us his favorites and even suggested how to order it if we want to consume later in the day (sauces on the side). The employees in the quad weren't wiping down tables or chairs so we did it ourselves and then sat down to dine. We unwrapped heaven!!! This is some of the best fast food we've ever had! The steak and lamb were both perfection! We loved all the accoutrement and the pita was warm and soft. We got the chicken salad to take home but after gobbling down all the pitas we cracked it open and enjoyed it. Yes, the restaurant was disheveled. Yes, lots of employees were standing around being loud and rude, but when Seth and the food are this good who cares? Hopefully Seth is promoted to management and he weeds out the dead weight and they clean that place up. We will be back read more

Good food Really like Roasted Eggplant Dip I will come here everyday Good service There is a great environment here read more

Just wanted to shout out Junior for the excellent customer service! As always Cava delivers on great customer service and good vibes. read more

Love this spot. Only complaint is that they're a little slow - don't go while in a rush. But food is bomb

Great food but they're always out of everything. Someone in their supply chain sucks at their job.

Solid food; terrible service... been to other Cava locations but this one has insanely slow service.

Our first time trying Cava. Food was good and service was good from everyone except Maria. Maria had a very bad attitude and ruined the experience for us. Maria should be nicer and more welcoming/helpful, especially as an employee who is customer facing. Maria was rude and impatient, she made us not want to return. read more

First time ever leaving a review but this just made me upset. There was trash everywhere (at the utensil area and the food service area), the lemonades clearly hadn't been maintenanced in a few days and when the soda machine sprayed soda all over my gf and we asked for a napkin the employ shrugged and walked away. That sucked, I don't know what's going on but it wasn't even busy read more

This is my first time to Cava,and it won't be the last one. This restaurant is located inside the new USC village. The line is long but if moves fast. I enjoyed my meal here, they offer a lot of healthy options. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I decide to give them 4 stars because I ordered falafel , and I was a little disappointed when they only gave me four pieces of tiny, tiny falafel. Come in people just make them bigger or give more ! read more

CAVA - Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've never been more passionate about a restaurant than CAVA. As a mediterranean cuisine, it's a much healthier option than other local restaurants and gives you a hefty portion without breaking the bank! I always get the Greens & Grains bowl (with splendid greens and white basmati rice), chicken, and add the various yummy toppings they have. Literally EVERY topping is so fresh & unique!! You can tell it's a balanced meal when you see so many colors in a bowl :) My favorite toppings are the harissa (adds a kick to the bowl & not too spicy), red pepper hummus, pickled onions!!, yogurt dill, and shkug sauce. I LOVE YOU CAVAAA read more

CAVA - Greens Grains Bowl. Absolutely delicious. - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been coming here for the past 4 yrs. Service has always been terrible but i understood bc of how busy the place could get sometime and the foods been always good. However this may have been my final straw as not only has prices been increasing each time but the portions have significantly decreased to about half of what it was before. At this rate it may become a vegan restaurant by 2025. read more

My past experience last summer at this CAVA location was not the best, but they seemed to shape up over a couple of months. I was craving something refreshing and healthy for dinner and CAVA was the only place still open next to Wahlburgers. I ordered a bowl filled with everything I like and when I was about to pay, the cashier said my food was free! The guy that was creating my bowl gave his free daily meal to me. What you put out (kindness) will come back to you. read more

great service! the food way fresh and deliciou. thank you team for putting the effort into my meal.
