    Steak and chicken half/half
    Ashley R.

    After a morning hike with my best friend, we decided to stop by CAVA in Whittier, and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional customer service from Angie. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel valued as customers. It's not every day that you come across someone who is not only friendly but also takes the time to make your experience feel personal and enjoyable. As for the food it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. After working up an appetite on the trail, this meal hit the spot. The ingredients were vibrant, the portions were generous, and every bite was packed with flavor. Ambiance inside was a 10/10 but it was a nice day so we decided to eat outside. Between the outstanding food and Angie's wonderful customer service, this visit exceeded our expectations. Employees like Angie are the reason customers come back. We'll definitely be returning to this Whittier location soon!

    Chicken lentils and super green ! The best food I've already lost 20 pounds with only one bowl. Just kidding but I had a big bowel movement after eating all the shkug. Great service the gentleman filled my bowl to the rim with toppings. The vibe was cool. I appreciate the hardworking staff.

    Cava in Whittier is a great option if you're craving Mediterranean flavors in a casual, Chipotle-style setting. You can build your own pita, bowl, or salad with lots of tasty options, and the portions are generous. We ordered the steak + feta pita and it was huge--my husband loved it! I went with the steak + harissa bowl and added pickled onions last minute (highly recommend). There's a fridge stocked with bottled drinks along with the usual fountain sodas and juices. We visited during the Saturday lunch rush, but the line moved quickly and the service was friendly. Only downside: the drink machine was out of ice, even after our meal, which was a letdown on a warm day. Otherwise, everything was delicious, and we'll definitely be back!

    This Cava location is in a busy plaza with a shared storefront parking spots, along with a bigger parking area by Stater Brothers. There are lots of cars hazarding to do pick ups so just beware. As for the food, I ordered their make your own bowl with half saffron basmati rice and half supergreens. My protein was chicken and roasted vegetables, with tzatziki and hummus dips. For toppings, you can go crazy, but I usually get roasted corn, pita crisps, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, and lemon herb tahini for dressing. The bowl itself is very filling and healthy. They have tables inside and outside.

    -Plenty of parking spaces -The staff were nice -Lots of tables for indoor dining -Great and healthy food options -Very friendly atmosphere -Con: the wait could be a bit during lunch/dinner time -Con: Protein proportion depends on the staff

    This CAVA location is great. Love being able to come here for a quick lunch during work. They are pretty consistent every time I go and the ingredients seem fresh. Their bowls are also not overly doused in dressing nor skimping out quantity wise like some other locations (*cough cough* Irvine).

    I love cava! The taste is always consistent. Relatively healthy with tons of vegetables and good flavor. We came on a Tuesday night for dinner and there were only a couple other people eating. The bench seats inside felt sticky so we didnt love sitting on that but still a good experience as always at cava

    This bowl was so good! I got just a Basmati rice base with Spicy lamb meatballs, harissa honey chicken, sweet potatoes, corn, and extra broccoli! For the dips I chose Crazy Feta, Red Pepper Hummus(for a lil spice to the bowl) and Tzatziki which all mixed super well. For the dress I chose the garlic dressing and that topped it off well! Would recommend this place for a fresher meal than most!

    My 1/2 roasted veggies, 1/2 falafel build your own bowl. Yum!

    My partner is a big fan of Cava so he really wanted me to give it a try. After several visits now I feel compelled to write my review-- I absolutely love this place! The food is great and good quality. My go-to is definitely the build your own bowl so I can add exactly what I want. And we absolutely love love love their pita chips-- delicious! Service has always been great at this location and would definitely recommend over their neighbor, Chipotle any day.

    Melanie N.

    got the bowl to go and quality was there, but I do feel like they skimped on the dips...i could barely even taste it or find it which was unfortunate. service was good, ambiance was clean

    When they say 12:15 pm ! They mean it !

    This place is very close to work , so it's very convenient to order on the app. They do a honest work when it comes to making their orders on time I truly appreciate that. Although , parking in that shopping center is a nightmare . To be honest The food has so much flavor, tastes come together in such ways that makes the meal so wholesome! As a vegetarian , my favorite part about this whole experience is how full I get with great value of vitamins/protein/fiber. Makes me happy that I not only get great flavors in my pallet but worth the meal cost.

    The food, and the service of this place is dope, yo!- but before I elaborate on the qualities that…read moremake this place blaze I want to begin with what confused me into a state of silly contemplation. I was not confused to a stupor that left me angry and frustrated, I was left more dazed with swirling lilies around my mind, like I had been hit hard with the staff of a fairy who pays the bills of the forest as an interior designer. The place has a design concept that takes two opposing forces and blends them into a restaurant concept: health forward food for O.G.'s and their like and crew, all while being a love letter to the streets of Los Angeles, the gritty streets, not the ones next to Rodeo. For instance, Cruz, one of the staff members, was wearing a "Straight out of Whittier" shirt that was clear nod to the movie straight out of Compton that was all about the rap and its consequence on West LA homeboy culture. The central mural of the joint showed low-riders, the LA symbol made with finger angles, and graffiti galore. Again, the message was clear this is a health cafe for Tupac and his friends and followers. These two principal ingredients mixing together (health food and LA street culture) at least in my mind, are more the subject for improv comedy than a sensible restaurant concept. I know people can mix what ever they want together, I know that there is choice when people color and dress, but this motif seemed like it was mixing Ninja culture with a dog grooming service. The concept can work, I see a ninja de-worming a golden retriever with swift skill but this concept also seems forced rather than flowing with common sense. So for a health cafe in LA I see Cher from Clueless, or Barbie, being more easily applied to the concept.But what do I know perhaps in a few months will have a Hell's Angel's tea experience that will not be dainty but rather hard like a helmet and it might be the concept that begins a revolution that ends with Hair Salons with Viking culture at its decoration theme. The (health) food in itself was a blessing. My friend Bailey is the healthy eater of the two of us! She got a simple green salad with tofu. I sampled a forkful. My hand had to dig in hard, with its fork, to retrieve the lettuce, the carrot, and some of the pickle, I avoided the tofu. The greens were fresh, and tasted clean in their simple flavors, but what elevated the green forkful to excellence in taste was the sweet mustard dressing. The green had dressing that turned solid greens to yummy ones! I ordered the shrimp tostada. Cruz, came to the table and explained that my plate was Keto friendly, which meant that it was good food for those who were experiencing life as a pre-diabetic, for example. What I loved about this place and its food, was that I did not feel like I was eating healthy and had to sacrifice pleasure in the name of honoring my health goals. Quite the contrary, the food was just plain good food, and for me, eating good clean food, is a fantastic way to keep my health goals on track. Apparently the tortilla was made out of cactus, and that is a why where the healthy stays in tact, while still being food that is satisfying, and, yummy! I would go here again, especially when my health goals are in full swing. This place will facilitate the process because the food was truly good!

    Date of visit: January 16, 2026…read more Selections: Build Your Own Spring Rolls (3) - Tofu - Shrimp - Pork Belly Experience: After taking a quick look around Rodeo 72, I settled for this location since I was intrigued about making my own spring rolls. I ended up choosing tofu, shrimp, and pork belly as my three different proteins, asked for the house mix for both the toppings and veggies since I was super indecisive so I appreciated the pre-mixed selections. Just be mindful that of the pre-mixes comes with peanuts for those who are allergic. I also requested for noodles to be added and the crunchy egg roll skin to be added too (not sure what it is called for sure but I needed that crunch texture since it is all soft ingredients without it in the rolls). Shrimp was definitely my top and then tofu with the pork belly being last. I think it was just a texture thing mostly for me with the pork belly because of how soft and fatty the pieces were. I did wish the tofu was seasoned a bit, but the sauce helped. Would definitely come back to try their other protein options!
