    This was only my second time trying CAVA, and I'm already a big fan!!!! The first time I came, my partner brought me because he had been there before and really wanted me to try it. I was excited to see what all the hype was about, and it definitely lived up to it. The food was fresh, flavorful, and so YUMMY. I came back again... the next day lol, with my partner and my mom because I wanted her to try it too. We thought it was really cool to have a fast-casual Mediterranean option like this. It's not something we see everywhere, and it was fun getting to share the experience together. The service was great both times. Everyone was friendly, my orders were made quickly, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The pita chips were also really good! They have a new limited one that's sour cream and onion which is super yummy! I love having this location in Monrovia because it's so convenient, and I can definitely see myself coming back often. My only small complaint is that the dining area feels a little small and there aren't a lot of seats if you want to eat inside. Even so, it doesn't take away from how much I enjoyed the food and overall experience. I've already been back twice in less than a week, which says a lot. Looking forward to coming back!!!!!

    Harissa Avocado Bowl

    New place in town. Smells good and looks good ,everything fresh. You walk up to a counter and you can create your bowl or pick a bowl created. Tip: best create your own bowl comes out less expensive. They have this small bag of Pits chips 10/10 You do get a small piece of soft pita with your bowl. I order the Harissa Avocado Bowl,all ingredients sounded delicious together. It read Honey Chicken (thinking it was little sweet) well it wasn't I found the bowl spicy and couldn't eat it. Not sure exactly what part of my bowl was spicy I believe it was the Honey chicken ,wish they would have said it somewhere on the menu board. Sad cause I was hungry. Service was okay not the best considering it can see overwhelming for your first time ordering .

    A favorite spot of my daughter and I, when we want something healthy, delicious, and fast. We always get the create your own bowl, with your choice of base ( spinach and lentils are my go to), sauces, protein, and toppings. Love the cleanliness of this location, patio option, and the patient and friendly service as I sometimes can't decide definitely the perfect stop.

    My fave combination! Chefs kiss!

    My husband introduced me to Cava a couple months ago and I've been hooked from the first bite!! I've recommended CAVA to almost everyone who crosses my path and as a hairstylist, that's a lot of people. Not one single person has come back disappointed!! Take it to go or eat in.

    We stopped by for dinner and had the build your own bowls. The place was quite busy, however the staff were moving the line fast. I love the concept of build your own, generous portion and selection of sauces, proteins, toppings, greens, and grains. The food is flavorful and fresh. Their diet Mexican cola was so good, no aftertaste or fake sugar taste. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunny and cool evening. The fried pitas were the best, perfectly seasoned and crispy. I'm so glad we have a nearby CAVA.

    On a Saturday morning at 10:30am in Late May for lunch. My sister and I arrived at 10:30am and it wasn't open yet. We waited extra 5 min to go inside. There are 2 booths and 4 of tables and soda machine. The server was nice and helped on my order-I ordered basmati rice, spinach, chicken, half of pita bread, corn, feta, cucumbers and dressing. It was filling as lunch. More people came inside as we were eating lunch. Nice ambiance inside and clean too.

What an AWESOME crew you have!

    Came to a soft opening for cava today through event brite. All the staff new and seasoned were polite and conversational to keep time going and not seemed like we were there for about an hr to order. Line moved fast once inside. Chose braised lamb because some of the options had ran out when we arrived at our time to order. But they were refilled quickly so timing for that was good. First time in a Cava. Was bright and clean nice lighting and ambiance. Was a flavorful bowl. Added roasted corn, spicy broccoli, and chose harissa sauce and a SKHUG sauce so cilantro and spices.I chose mixed greens and brown rice for my base and came with a warmed pita slice. They have very different drinks but I chose to do half blueberry lavender with some lemonade and a splash of their blueberry soda. Not overpowering at all and tasted good to me.

    I'm so glad this place opened up closer to me. We go here every week. Portions are generous and they give you plenty of protein. I have the app so I order from there and it's ready pretty fast. It is in a busy plaza so parking can be hard.

    The new Salmon Bowl intrigued me, so I made a visit with my wife to this new location. There was a short line, but it seemed to go by fast. This location seems smaller than the Pasadena location but did have a nice patio to dine al fresco.

    Soooooo happpppppppy Cava is in Monrovia now! Roshel is awesome, nice and pleasant! Facilities is clean. So excited!

    This is definitely a busy place. They're still working out the kinks behind the counter where you're all the employees are putting items on. Your bowl is dirty. There's sauces mixed with end with each each other. Your bowl if you don't pay attention, may go to the next person, one in front of you were behind. And don't get me started that this is the bowl how you like it they insist on doing what they wanted to manager, said I could not put lettuce on the side it had to be on the top. Thank goodness at least the ingredients of the bowl is the same as always. I will not be coming back to this location. I will drive to the one in Azusa off of Alosta. At least tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it's not worth an aggravation.

A nice addition to the menu. Both dishes would be reliable options. The plates look colorful and are filling. Your tummy will be happy! Cafe X20 consistently delivers on their customer service and menu items no matter the location. Thanks for the delicious food! ( ^_^)b

It's honestly become part of our weekly routine. However, I wanted to share a not-so-great experience we had today regarding the service. I called in a takeout order, and when I arrived, there was a new cashier. She was on her phone texting and didn't acknowledge us for quite a while, so we had to wait before being helped. When it came time to pay, I simply asked to confirm whether the cash discount had already been applied. Her response came with a noticeably rude attitude. While I was trying to find the exact change, she seemed visibly impatient. After receiving some coins I didn't need, I placed them in the tip jar. She immediately took them out and said in a very cold tone, "Please take it back, I don't need your tips." Honestly, that was surprising and quite uncomfortable -- it's the first time I've encountered such unfriendly service here. We still really enjoy the food and appreciate the owner, but I hope the service experience can improve moving forward.

The salad consisted of lettuce and some marinated tomatoes that tasted sour. The hummus was very bland and the bread was thin, but soft. The Luhle (ground beef) was savory, but wasn't very juicy at all. The RICE, however, was very delicious. It was well seasoned and you can taste the different spices used to flavor it. Very earthy notes. Overall, very underwhelming experience. Mediocre and not worth the price or wait. Would probably not go back again. It's located inside Blossom Market Hall, so you order and seat yourself. Food will be ready when the buzzer they give you rings. Free street and lot parking available.

I was curious to try the Muhammara (a dip made of crushed walnuts & red pepper paste.) I've never had it before, but it was particularly good. The fresh warm pita & Muhammara was a delightful combination. I couldn't stop eating it. The Greek Salad was a generous serving comprised of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, kalamata olives, & feta. It was plenty for us to share and the dressing was light and not overwhelming. They don't have a full bar. My friend tried two beers. One from Lebanon (Almaza) and another from Greece (Hillas). He liked them both. I had a glass of sparkling wine, which paired well with my meal.
