    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!!!!!

    So delicious I dug into the bowl and forgot to snap a pic until mid bite. I got the steak bowl with rice, romaine lettuce, corn, cucumber, tomatoes, garlic sauce, hummus and tzatzikis and it was so freshly and tasty. The steak is an extra almost $4 more which is a bummer thought. Their new bbq pita chips are fantastic and very seasoned. I wish they were more generous with their portions but overall the freshness and taste keeps me coming back!

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    Great new location! This morning I saw an all women crew. The place was spotless and they served very well. Will def come back, the ambience was super clean and muted colors on brand.

    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.

    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 were traveling nearby and saw that The Diplomat had a 5-star rating. Having now eaten there I…read morecan confirm that it is deserved. The food is delicious and the prices are appropriate given the portion sizes. Service was prompt and professional. Parking might be a challenge, though there are public lots within a block or two. We went on a Friday night and encountered heavy traffic from the local farmer's market/fair. The best item was the Beef kabob, 5 out of 5 stars. It was perfectly cooked, a very simply salt and pepper seasoning, juicy and simply divine! We got the kids meal, which came with only 4 pieces, and I'd be interested to return for the full adult portion. Also a 5-star experience was the Fried cauliflower appetizer. It had just the right amount of crispiness, without any blackening, and the garlic/parsley/lemon juice combo worked well. The juice was sucked into all the crevices, and overall it was light. I think I could have eaten two portions myself and called it a satisfying meal. I did dip in some tzatziki, which worked great too! Lastly the Chicken shawarma was a 4-star dish. Still delicious and I'd get it again, but it was slightly salty from the marinade and added sauce. I was expecting this to be wrapped up, but it was more an open-face naan with the chicken covering the top. Rice pilaf was savory, I'd rather not know just how many calories are included, the rice was still moist even after reheating the next day.

    The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a cozy Mediterranean-style…read moreatmosphere. However, the dining room was a little too dark, making it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Unfortunately, the food was just average. Some of the dishes tasted slightly burnt, which affected the flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't memorable either. The good news is that there are plenty of other great restaurants along the same street, so you have lots of choices. I'd recommend exploring one of the nearby spots instead.

    We found them on Yelp and took the drive. They have many teas. You are charged by ounce, half pound…read moreand up. We got a half pound of tea for sleep and it was between $31-33.00. They also sell sandwiches, coffee, smoothies and tea pots and cups. I had a smoothie, and it didn't taste like fresh fruit in it. ‍ it was $6.25 for a large. It was a nice environment and they had seating and tables. The shop tenders didn't say much or really engage unless spoken to first. I would have liked a bit more interaction to introduce their teas to the first time visitors. The spot was pretty busy with a steady flow of customers.

    The Loose Teas is a cool local place that serves real tea!…read more Real tea to me = loose leaf options. I've tried a few. One of the new finds and a current favorite is the Kyoto Cherry Rose. I got it on a whim as a latte, that's not too sweet. It was so yummy and fragrant. I am back to get the tea to take home. Vibe is low key. they have some seats inside and a few outside. Sit where you like. There are also cute tea knick knacks and things. My friend and I got some super cute mugs from here. Great place for gifts imo Service is cool overall. I'd rate 4.5/5 on this because they forgot my macaron once and I got charge for it. Found out when I got home and making the drive back for the mac wouldn't have made any sense. They have food too. I don't remember ever eating here but they look good from what others were eating.
