This was my first time coming to Cava after it was recommended by a friend. I've never been to a Mediterranean restaurant and was unsure what to order so I was a bit hesitant I was hoping that I didn't seem too ignorant at what to order so I softly told the server it was my first time ‍ and needed a little help OMG, can I just say I was soooooooo relieved that I had the BEST experience with my server Zoey !!!!! She took the extra time to ask what my preference was with each item EVERY step of the way She gave me her recommendations and explained what each flavor and sauce tastes like and I thought that was absolutely AWESOME The world needs more Zoey's!!!!! She was so helpful and just an overall great person IMO of course Visit Cava in Monrovia and I truly hope that you get to experience the professionalism of their staff especially Zoey!!! The restaurant was super clean and had their own Vibe going on which made the ambiance a Great eating experience for me and my family 1 thousand stars to Cava Monrovia and I really hope you read these reviews and acknowledge the staff that shows so much kindness and respect to the customers they serve! Thank you Zoey we APPRECIATE YOU read more

So glad this location opened up. Love this place. Amber helped us tonight. She was super nice and helpful.

Amazing, stunning, electric, delicious, beautiful, never been done before!!! I love CAVA and am so happy to have one in my city. I got to enjoy it early and went to their community day, where we were helped by the most incredible staff! Friendly, helpful, & kind people. I expect to become a regular. read more

My partner and I ordered an online order for pickup. Understandably they were busy with it being a new location, so my partner and I had no problem waiting. However, they got our order completely wrong. I ordered double chicken and got a single serving, no hummus though I ordered extra, white rice instead of brown, and gave my partner steak instead of chicken. They gave arugula for our base too though we order something different. I understand mistakes happen, but this is too much. We also paid extra for double chicken, and simply did not get what we paid for. As a new store I hope they continue learning and improving, but they lost a customer in me. read more

Finally a CAVA in Monrovia. First thing when opening the door, is a greet from staff. A reminder and being mindful, this NEW location just opened less than few days ago and lines is very much there. I waited about 15-20min as staff are multitasking with in-person and mobile orders. The place is bright and inviting to sit and enjoy your meal of choice. Different options to build your own bowl or chef curated selected bowls on menu. Refreshing drinks and fountains drinks are available. Easy to navigate as visual selections are on glass and on screen. Staff is great on suggesting selection on their personal choices, if asked. I'll definitely keep coming back to keep enjoying this experience. read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl - Salad Near Me - Monrovia, California

Great place for good food. They have a wide drinks selection to try different juices and lemonades. Great service.

My first time visiting a CAVA. This location is fairly new. Clean but small inside. There was a line so it made the dining room tight. I asked for a "Make Your Own" bowl.You can have all grains, all greens or half grains-half greens. I asked if the basmati rice contained saffrons because it is advertised as basmati saffron rice but I didn't see any saffron. The server said we offer white or brown rice or lentils. So I selected the "white" rice. Next I asked for super greens but she served the power greens. Next you can pick up to three dips so I got humus, tzatziki and feta.Next you select your choice of protein. I selected chicken but had to wait since they were out. The customers in front were also waiting. In the meantime, I asked if you can get half/half like chicken and beef. They said yes so I asked for half half. Next you have a large selection of toppings and finally your dressing choice. They give you a free quarter slice of pita. I went to check out and to my surprise, charged $3.85 extra. I was told it was for the half order of steak. She said they should have told you but may have forgotten. I asked is it $3.85 for either a half order or full order? Both cost the same? She said no a full order is more. WRONG! Same price for beef half or full order. This place definitely needs to train their employees. Too many mistakes. I wasn't impressed. They opened three weeks or a month ago. Maybe wait six months and try again. read more

CAVA - I mixed the green/grain bowl. You don't get a lot. It wasn't filled to the top. Flat across. - Salad Near Me - Monrovia, California

Amazing service from this location! Dan and Chenee are awesome with very professional and very polite. Had an issue with my meal and they quickly resolved it. The food is very delicious and the bowl is huge. Definitely a great place for lunch and dinner. read more

Online ordering is broken. Pick up time said 30 minutes. Took over an hour. They were out of ingredients for our order and were out of lids for take out orders. Seems like the location is either poorly managed or is not receiving enough support logistically from corporate. Food its self is good but overall experience was awful. read more

Love Cava!!! Seriously so delicious and the service was amazing!!! Chenee was so helpful!! She's definitely a great sales associate!

Can't speak for the food because they refused to serve us. We came in at 10:01, they said "welcome", we got to the counter and the the same guy (Angel), said in a strict voice "sorry we're actually closed" and refused to serve us and showed us to the door. Next time please just close the door first. Fortunately Chipotle next door has a much kinder staff. read more

Flavorful, fresh, and delicious salads! The customer service was great! Shout out to Nadine and Hannah for preparing my order and ringing me up quickly, I didn't have to wait long to be serviced. I would definitely come back here again! read more

First time going to CAVA, it was a Saturday afternoon. Very busy long line but line moved at a good pace. The problem was they were out of many items. No creamy garlic sauce, we had to wait almost 10 minutes for steak and they were all out of lids for our take out order. The food was good and fresh read more

Came for my birthday, super great experience. Best customer service !! Get the falafel

Placed an online order for pick up and I generally go to the Azusa location because it's close to my home. I work in Duarte and this place was closer. I picked up my order and when I got back I saw they were missing 3 of my toppings and the meat portion was smaller than what I normally get. I get it being a new store but the items are listed on the receipt. Hopefully I can get credit or money back because this was disappointing. read more

Wow! Amazing food! It's really, REALLY good! I get the kids meal for lunch and it's more than enough.

Chenee gave me the best service! Love it here! Definitely recommend this store because of her.

Amazing food and even better service! The Greens + Grains Bowl was delicious. Chenee and Uzaria were friendly, patient, and made our first visit wonderful. Definitely coming back! read more

I was so excited to hear Cava was opening in Monrovia so I tried it recently. I got a greens + grains bowl and the sumac cava chips. The bowl itself was good, it was fresh. However, the chips definitely could've been better. It was very inconsistent. Some of the chips were more burnt, and also tasted burnt. The other ones were soft, and not crunchy like it usually is. This review was based on my experience with this particular location. I ordered online and my pickup time was 7:15 pm, so I went a bit past that time so I didn't have to wait too long. I went in the store and saw that it was packed, and there was a wait at the online pick up area, around 6 people waiting. I had to wait a while for my food, past my pickup time which was more than 20 minutes. Had I known, I definitely would have placed my order way earlier. The original wait time for my pickup was 15-20 minutes. So according to that time, I made sure that I didn't come earlier. I wish that the company improves their system where they are able to increase the wait time according to how busy they currently are. They had also run out of lids midway through, and were taping parchment paper to wrap the bowl as the "lid" which was inconvenient as I usually can't finish the entire bowl in one sitting. I feel like by doing this, it would be easier for both the customers and workers. I know that this doesn't apply just for this location, but it's still prevalent that this location is working things out, nonetheless. Hopefully, they work out the negatives soon! read more

I recently visited CAVA and while the food itself was genuinely great, my experience overall was uncomfortable. An employee named Hector repeatedly pressured me to leave a review and even attempted to offer free items in exchange for it. The food quality was not the issue at all everything tasted good and was prepared well. However, the constant pressure and passive aggressive approach regarding reviews made the interaction feel forced rather than welcoming. Customers should be able to enjoy their meal without feeling uncomfortable or pushed into leaving feedback in exchange for incentives. read more

Great experience. Love this place so much. Food is great and the service as well. Always kind.

Cava is an exquisite dining experience. The food is phenomenal and out of this world! I'm glad they don't go with the paper straws because I hate paper straws. I would go to cava every day for the rest of my life if I wasn't broke. Also there is a fun selection of drinks to try and most of them are very yummy. 10/10 exquisite exquisite read more

I love Cava! I am so glad there is a CAVA in Monrovia. Great food and great service. I was helped by Chenee who helped me pick the perfect plate! Thank you Chenee! read more

I had a great experience at CAVA in Monrovia! The food was fresh, flavorful, and there were so many options to customize my bowl. The staff so was friendly especially Shenee, the restaurant was clean, and everything came out quickly. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I finally decided to try CAVA after hearing so many good things, but honestly, I was disappointed. The food was decent, fresh, and tasted okay, but I don't think it was worth the price. For what you pay, I expected larger portions or something that really stood out. I left feeling like I spent way more than the meal was worth. It wasn't terrible, but I probably wouldn't go back unless the prices were lower or the portions improved. Overall, just too expensive for what you get. read more

Rochelle and Anna were amazing, I'd definitely come back here. They were very attentive

Cava first timer, and it was delicious. Fresh food, line moved quickly, greeted at the door by the hard working staff.

Yummm so happy they brought one to Monrovia ! Food is yummy and service is amazing ! 10/10

Great customer service! The food is always delicious, and the manager Hector went above and beyond.

Chenee helped my daughter and I pick out some delicious plates. We will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely an amazing experience! All the employees were kind and super attentive to our needs. The restaurant is extremely clean and the food was fresh off the grill! Overall a 10/10 experience and will be coming back! Shoutout to Hector!!! read more

Earlier this week, I had a disappointing experience due to the assistant general manager, Dan. While the staff was doing a great job being welcoming, attentive, and helpful to me as a first-time visitor; he was yelling at them in front of customers. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and took away from what would have otherwise been a positive experience. The team deserved better treatment for the effort they were putting in. read more

Glad there is one in the area now. Have to say that the online ordering is really inconsistent. They often times forget to include items that were ordered. read more

Hector and his team were amazing. The food was mouth watering and I was stuffed. Hector and his staff are the best.

This new Cava location has reinvigorated our love for this fast healthy food option. We had some not great experiences at other locations but this one has exceptional service, is clean, the food is always fresh and good and the team has got to be some of the friendliest team members I have met putting the customer first even when the lines are long. Most notably the manager Danny and the team members Chenee and Kisanet always have a smile, explain everything and are just wonderful all around customer service focused team members. I never mind standing in a line when the team members make us feel like friends! Great job team! read more

First time trying cava and the food was a 10/10 great service will be coming back ! Glad there is a cava close by !

Chenee was so amazing on customer service as were all the line employees! Absolutely amazing. We came on Sunday 5/3 at 12:30. Your manager a female was acting like a power trip. Admonishing the employees in front of customers and not friendly at all. Actually she is the one who made a great experience uncomfortable. Maybe have a conversation with her. Food was great and fresh. read more

Amazinggggg ! Especially Hector the worker there. While dining outside he checked in on all tables to make sure we were all set and happy with our orders, love how welcoming he made the environment. And food... 10/10. read more
