    After a morning hike with my best friend, we decided to stop by CAVA in Whittier, and I'm so glad…read morewe 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!

    If you're considering getting your next bowl from this location specifically, please go to the next…read morenearest Cava. There are some things I'd like to mention that have already been said in other reviews, if you just scroll down. The portion sizes are ridiculous compared to other Cava locations I've been to. It's almost like a joke to even serve the sorry a** bowls that they do. Make no mistake--this is not the workers' fault. I feel like a lot of the heat gets placed on the workers, but they're only doing what is required of them. It's the managers, the boss, and the team that comes by to train the workers to serve a specific amount of each ingredient. This is a slap in the face. You're playing with people who work hard for their money, giving them ridiculous portions at full price, all to pocket more money. I know there's someone from the business side of Cava on here who responds to these reviews telling us to submit further critiques on their website, but what good is that doing if you still haven't listened to the concerns of your customers and changed the portion sizes? It angers me because I see what this business is doing, and they're doing it right in front of our faces while the workers take the heat, all for extra profit. I'm not f***ing with it. I'm passionate about this review because this feels like straight-up robbery of people's money, and this location does not care. PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT CAVA until this one actually listens to its customers and makes changes.

    Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!…read more I'll be honest, when my husband suggested we drive 39 minutes for sandwiches, I was initially like... are we really doing this? But by the time we were leaving Uptown provisions, all I could think about was how incredibly worth the drive it was! From the moment we walked in, I loved the vibe. The space is so cool, and everyone was super welcoming. We watched a steady stream of locals come in to grab food they ordered online. You can also grab your drinks and chips from the fridge and shelves before ordering your sandwich. I ordered Tom's Way Egg Sandwich, and as someone who LOVES egg sandwiches and pastrami, I couldn't believe I'd never thought to put the two together! It comes with cheese, pickled onions, and this delicious orange sauce that isn't even mentioned in the description. The combination was SO good. I was honestly shocked by how much I loved it and would absolutely order it again and again. So glad I took a chance on something a little different! My husband got the Uptown and said the smoked turkey was so bomb. He doesn't usually even like avocado, but he was absolutely chomping away at this sandwich So I'd say that's a pretty solid endorsement! We also tried the Mela watermelon water, which was SO light, refreshing, and delicious. Definitely keeping an eye out for those cans now! Whittier is lucky to have this little gem. It seems like the locals know what's up because there was a constant flow of people coming in who clearly love this place. We got lucky with parking. We will absolutely be back again and again, and next time, I won't be questioning the 39 minute drive.

    A sandwich sounded really good for lunch and this spot was it, it was packed and I understand why…read more Beware of street parking, we did have to circle around the block twice on a Friday afternoon but it was worth it. Pastrami Reuben -ratio of pastrami to sauerkraut was perfection. Pickled onions tied everything together, soo good! Only down side to my sandwich was the pastrami was pretty fibrous/stringy but it was only a couple of pieces which didn't upset me too much. Tom's Way -pretty wet sandwich but everything paired well. Flavorful and filling but doesn't leave you feeling heavy. Spicy Gabagool -the sauce they use is chef's kiss. Not so much spicy but more of a season spiced. Really wanted to try their Lemon Crumb Bars but the girl ahead of me grabbed the last one. Just an excuse to come back for more sandwiches hahhaha. Opted for a Pecan Pie Bar instead; a bit more elevated than a regular pecan bar, crispy pecan added just the right amount of texture. Loved the caramel flavor but slightly too sweet for my liking.

I ordered the turkey panini, which came loaded with spring mix, tomatoes, basil pesto, mayo, mustard, onions, cheese, avocado, and alfalfa sprouts on ciabatta bread. Y'all... it was so good. The sandwich was hefty, too. I ended up eating half and saving the other half for later because it was that filling. Now, here's where they lost me a little. The inside felt really cramped. Between the food station, salsa area, and counters, it just seemed like there was too much going on in a small space. To make matters worse, I spotted a fly flying around the veggies. They have those net screens up, which I assume are there to keep flies out, but that one clearly didn't get the memo. It just made me question the overall cleanliness of the shop, and for me, it wasn't it.

We also tried some agua frescas and they were also very good. The ladies working were very nice and informative. Something that is unfortunately rare nowadays, so we really appreciated the great service. I want to add that this is a very clean establishment from what I could see. My only complaint is that they are not open on the weekends. Check online for their weekday specials!

    GOD BLESS THESE TWO WORKERS!!!!…read more I am new to this crazy city, and on Sunday 2/22/25, it was my first time coming to this location and OMG was it PACKED!!!! There were people everywhere! Uber eats, families dinning in, kids screaming, people like me ordering to-go; omg it was pure chaos. LOL. I am not sure of their names, I think one is "Ant" (possibly the manager) and I'm not sure of the young mans name in grey (he has red braces) buuuut holy COW ! Give them a round of applause!!!! They were carrying the show! Customers were being so rude, yelling at the staff, demeaning their orders/ time it was going to take, asking questions left and right about their order etc. and not once did either of the two workers snap (lord know I would've) I personally told the young man he was doing great, and I truly hope he knows I meant it! He did a million shakes and FAST while answering everyone's demands and still trying to take orders to help the crazy line out. I definitely feel this must be the hardest job- fast food! The cooks were going as fast as they possibly could, and the people just kept pouring in. The pressure literally seemed like Hell's Kitchen ! LOL All around this little team did an awesome job and I will definitely come back. Food:5/5 Service 10/5 Clean: 5/5

I took a bite of his sandwich. I thought it was very mid, not my style. The only thing that catches my eye is the Santa Barbara, which I didn't get this time I wanted to try something new so I got there avocado chicken wrap with a side of sweet potato fries. The wrap was OK. I would say it was a six. Just thought. It was very empty. It was lacking chicken. I also ordered a side of onion rings, which were definitely fire so crunchy and fresh. The sweet potato fries are some of the best. I've also tasted customer service. What's fine. The drummer took my order was very friendly if I go back it's because I'm getting sweet potato fries and onion rings. Lol

    We absolutely love this place. Some describe it as a "Spanish hipster" spot, and that feels pretty…read moreaccurate in the best way. We usually stop by either before or after visiting the barnyard zoo. It's a small place, but offers a great variety of options, Mexican food, pizza (so good), a coffee shop, and even a craft beer bar all in one place. The bar also serves $12 cocktails, which is a nice bonus. It's especially fun when they host events. The combination of good food, good music, and friendly staff makes the whole experience even better. Not to mention, the outdoor area is super cute. Highly recommended!

My wife and I have come here a few times to collect our deals from the My SGV passport. I think years back there were way more vendors, but currently there's a small amount of vendors operating. The spots we've tried were: Alchemy Craft: good cocktails! Los Taquero Muchos: bomb tacos! Cold Pizza: delicious pizza options! The vendors we visited were all friendly and accommodating. The vendors inside are Alchemy Craft & Cold Pizza. The rest of the vendors are outside. They offer indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. There are also TVs inside to watch some sports games. Overall, BLVD MRKT has good vendors at the moment making them worth a visit. But tempter the expectations of options as new business are still opening up. ( ^_^)b
