Disastrous order! Asked for no rice and chicken, got steak with no rice. Everyone's order was wrong! Portions were tiny. Refused a refund. They even gave my gluten-free friend gluten! Incompetent, wasteful, and dangerous! Apparently, workers can't read. read more

Very much understaffed! There is only 2 people making bowls for the 30 people in line. There should at least be a 3rd. So our wait in line is forever! And why is no one ever in a good mood at Cavas. What they aren't known for is good customer service that's for sure. read more

Great food and wonderful service today. It was fresh and they give me enough today at this time of the day. When I go early during my lunch break, customer service is blah, portion is very small and i leave there with a below average experience. But today, they was impressed by the great customer service and I decided to write a positive review about the workers in the afternoon. Thank you very much Cava team for the improvement . read more

Great food, amazing sauces and fair prices. The crew are all friendly, mostly Ayana and Jacelin that helped me a lot. The ambience is nice and fresh read more

Goood food for reasonable prices. Good portions too. Only downside is long line. And then if I order online, I usually have to wait some amount of minutes after my scheduled pickup time too. read more

Went during a busy time and there was zero sense of urgency or consideration for the wait time of the customer and the manager Duliam was clueless and rude about the customers having to wait. Customer Service always comes first the food is the second part of the experience I won't be coming back. read more

I love Cava but this location is NOT it. It's probably the worst location I've been to; perhaps, it is a victim of its own success b/c there is always a long line out that door that moves insanely slow. I got in line around 2:15p and finally ordered around 2:50p. Food was fresh and filling though (consistent with other locations), so I guess it is up to you whether 30+ mins of wait time is worth it for fast casual food. I stopped by b/c I was already at the Amazon lockers for errands, otherwise I would recommend ordering ahead online (and maybe giving it an extra 10 mins just in case). read more

CAVA - Greens & Grains Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cava is a place I would categorize as a higher end fast food chain and is the Mediterranean version of chipotle. Don't get me wrong, I love chipotle but I'm so glad that CAVA paved the way for quick Mediterranean food because dare I say it's better than chipotle! The flavors and sides are all so fun and unique and you really feel like you're getting a good bang for your buck while eating slightly healthier! It's also such a good university student in a pinch moment or picnic food! Whatever the situation, I can safely say they've got you CAVA-rd! read more

I've honestly been coming here way too much in the past week but once I tried this place, I was obsessed! People call it the Mediterranean Chipotle! I always order a bowl with greens and grains. I love their chicken, grilled meatballs, yogurt dill, garlic sauce, Tzatziki, roasted egg plant sauce, harissa, and lemon herb tahini! Though they have much more menu items and sauces than this so I would definitely recommend your first time to go in person if you need to ask about any items or see what others order. They do have online ordering available but sometimes pickup is faster when ordering online, but sometimes not. It really depends. There's plenty of seating outside too since it's in the village but this place is definitely always busy so expect to wait! read more

CAVA - Energy after eating! - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Maybe keeping an update of when Uber eats picks up the order. So when we call to follow up on our order we have an estimate time. On you website it says oder still being process and when I called someone from your restaurant stated Uber eats picked it up. I places the order at noon and its almost 2pm and no sign my meal arriving. Very bad communication never again ordering . read more

I had an unfortunate incident with their front entrance door, which I would say had a design flaw with it being way too light. I was wearing sandals, and the door rammed straight to my big toe. It cracked my nail and left it bloody as seen in photo- later bruised. I opened the large doors with normal force, but again the doors were unusually too light. This happened back in June 19, 2019 around 3:19 PM. I told and showed the manager of what had happened. He seemed protective of himself and the business, and made me sign a document, and assured me that someone will reach out to me. He didn't say a word of apology or anything else. I'm here to inform CAVA and fellow customers that absolutely no one had reached out. I am making this review today, as I can say that this incident had prevented me from participating from a tournament that I had been training diligently for only having to pull out. Being an athlete, I can say that seemingly small incident deeply impacted the trajectory of my athletic endeavors. I am upset that no one had reached out to me till this day. read more

They're stingy on portions and it takes literally forever to get through the line. It's not like the lines are particularly long, the service is just very mediocre. Overall, this is among the worst Cava locations I've been to read more

This is like a chipotle but Mediterranean style . This place is sooooo good and fresh I could eat this everyday .

Great food and service. the ambiance was also brilliant, and the food was fresh and delicate. I thank the people who made the food and the chefs as well read more

I tried Cava for the first time with my best friend visiting from Ohio. We ended up ordering it again the next day because we were so obsessed! We ordered on Uber Eats and it came perfectly packed to the brim and on time. I'm hooked on Cava and how insanely good the flavors are combined. I love how they have 14 free sides and all healthy options. I don't eat meat so their falafel is a GOD SEND. Truly the best falafel I've ever had. Their pickled onion add-on is my absolute favorite and their red pepper hummus is literally heaven. Honestly, just get every add-on you can add and you'll be very happy with the outcome. I love that they offer right rice and a variety of yummy greens. I always feel SO healthily satisfied and full after my Cava bowl. So obsessed with Cava I want to eat it every single day. And it's the kind of bowl you can't recreate at home! read more

Ashley was wonderful and made the process easy and great. She's extremely kind! Thank you Cava for the great and easy meal.

Just went to Cava! Staff is super friendly, especially Andrea!! definitely recommend food was great too!

I discovered Cava only about 1.5 weeks ago but I've gone 4 times already, different locations each time. The food is really great! Some standouts include the braised lamb, harissa honey chicken, and pretty much all the toppings and dressings. For dips, you can't go wrong with a classic tzatziki! Red pepper hummus, eggplant dip, and harissa are solid options too. The setting is simple but cool and seems to be consistent across the different locations. So, the overall vibe will really depend on the location you go to. The best people watching for me has been this location (USC Village), and I liked Santa Monica for overall scenery. The main reason I decided to write the the review for this location rather than the others however, is the service. I came in a couple nights ago, on Memorial Day. To be clear, the service has been good at each location, but the service at this location was superb! I came in later in the evening, and almost didn't go at all because it was a bit closer to closing time than I was comfortable with. I've managed bars and restaurants for more years than I care to admit and I know how annoying that can be for some employees; so, I wasn't expecting a particularly warm reception. However, I was totally wrong! The staff here is super chill! I was helped by Sebastion and Gustavo who were both charismatic and accommodating. They're both just really genuine and customer-service oriented guys. I'd hire both of them in a heart beat! I didn't interact much with the rest of the staff, but that cool vibe does seem to be consistent across the board from what I could tell. I was particularly impressed with Sebastion and Gustavo though, go check them out! Tasty food, great staff, fun area... Highly recommended. read more

Definitely never ordering ahead, which is such an inconvenience because the line is always so long here! Portions are so so so tiny. The food doesn't even take up half of the bowl. Asked them for extra super greens because there was at least one piece of lettuce in my bowl and she only put another 5 strands of lettuce in my bowl. The positive attitude from them was not there either. read more

The speedy rush you out at this location on Hoover, I do no like. I understand it's on USC campus but There's not many around so I have no option but to come to this one. The one in Long Beach is pleasant they do not rush, but still get it done in timely manner. The USC location rush you so much you forget things you want and feel ignored when telling them what you want. It's always jammed packed with a 10-20 minute wait outside the door. The door, you have to stand and hold it open because there's one way in, one way out. With the door closed and your standing near it, you will for sure get hit by the door, because you cannot see inside clearly from outside. The food is still yummy and flavorful. Just need another door asap. read more

The food is great! It is for sure like a Mediterranean Chipotle, but with higher food quality. I had great customer service by an employee named Diego twice! He provides great portions and good recommendations. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff are nice! read more

one of my FAVORITE restaurants, the lines at the USC village are always so long, but the food is so worth it. Even at 4 pm, there was a wait , but the lines move quickly! I got a greens and grains bowl with lentils & arugula/mixed greens. The red pepper hummus, feta, and eggplant dip are absolutely fire, super flavorful and savory. The chicken was roasted to perfection and the falafels were so crispy with a smooth chickpea texture inside! I get all the toppings without olives and peppers , but my favorites would have to be the pickled onions, pita crisps, corn, and crumbled feta. I personally don't get a dressing bc the bowl tastes amazing without additional dressing! But the Greek vinaigrette & yogurt dill are light and tangy! read more

I normally have the best experiences here, but not today! They didn't send my pita chips, they didn't add the ones on the inside of the wrap and there's avocado peels inside of the wrap! I'm done with this location! Back to Culver City I go! read more

CAVA - The peel from the avocado was mixed in my wrap! - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time trying CAVA after seeing so many posts about it. It was overall really good - a relatively healthy choice for food. Got a bowl with greens and tried the beef meatballs. The meatballs were pretty good! They were more flavorful and tender than I thought. I really liked the different options they had for toppings. I decided to go with pickled onions, hummus, feta cheese, tzatziki, and cucumber+tomato salad. I also like that they have pre-selected choices so that can alleviate the pressure of choice if you don't know what to get. This place did start getting really busy during lunch, but the line moves pretty fast. Workers are friendly and patient! read more

I placed my order at 12:45 for a 1:00pm pickup I got there at 1:05pm my order was not ready. I saw the maker pass my order on the queue and everything asked about it he said he just saw my name too but he can't go back and that orders are backed up I waited until 1:30pm before requesting a refund. They were doing Uber Eats orders and a lot of the Uber Eats order people were not there yet it was at least five bags they said they couldn't make more orders bc they needed that counter. I also expressed I worked in the village as well and needed to get back and they said well you can request a refund. They also were welcoming people sarcastically, I believe the woman name was Nicole. This the second time I had this issue at this location. Where I waited long you have a better chance at getting your order right away standing in line. I don't see how they prioritize Uber Eats over pick ups when a lot of the pick up orders at from people in the village especially students and employees and they do not care. Oh and they were asking Uber Eats people to make their own drinks. read more

I have ordered delivery twice and i add avocado, extra chicken and vegetables to my orders and they never put this in my order. I am so over this location when it comes to delivery orders. Orders beware! read more

I love cava and it's a go to when I'm feeling something healthy and filling. The ingredients are fresh and there's so many variations you can do. However the staff at this location are not friendly or nice. Their scanner was broken and I was trying to scan my QR code for points but the cashier just said "it's broken". This location is always packed during rush hour so I get it but no need to be rude to customers. read more

So delicious! Got the Greek Bowl and a side of pita/crazy pita and every bite was super flavorful. My bowl came heavily sauced, but I didn't mind because I had the pita to use up the extra sauce. The portions are also really deceiving; I was really hungry and was happily satisfied at the end of my meal. Will definitely come back for a quick, tasty bowl. read more

I am a Cava first-timer, and I will say it is good, but my mutuals hype it up a lil too much. The wait in line wasn't too bad, maybe 10 minutes. I ordered a custom chicken bowl with white rice and all the toppings I found appealing. The chicken was quite fatty, and maybe it was an off day. Other than that, everything else was delicious. I did find it odd that there is only one door, it's like a cul-de-sac. read more

Every single time I order delivery from this store, they mess up my order. Usually they forget ingredients, 99% of the time they don't add dressing making the bowls bland and flavorless. Today was the first time in over a year that I ordered .. and I never will again. My bad for thinking it would be a better experience. read more

At first glance you wouldn't think it's as appetizing as it is but once you choose all the items for your bowl, all the flavors, greens, meats, plus the pita bread really make it worth getting. It's almost like a Mediterranean Chipotle but way healthier. With more options on the sauces and sides I think this place has Chipotle beat on healthy and options. I really liked the bowl I get here even though it's a little pricey because of the meat choice. I start off with the greens and grains bowl and I get the brown rice and baby spinach, then I chose Hummus, garlic, and red tahini, for the meat I got braised lamb but they charge an extra $3, for the last part of the bowl I get crumbled feta, tomato cucumber, and the cauliflower quinoa, and lemon herb tahini. I like coming here for the healthier option and for exploring their different flavor combinations. Definitely gonna try something different next time. read more
