Incredibly rude staff, dirty floor and counter tops and long wait times even when you order ahead online which is a shame because the food is good. Will not return.

Food was really good. The only weird thing is that they move really really slow, almost like they're doing it Intentionally.

Brandi and the team here are awesome. They are courteous, kind and patient. The wait wasn’t super long, so don’t be deterred if you see a little line (that’s a good sign)
I even witnessed the staff thoroughly cleaning some of the food storage areas as I walked in and waited for my food. This is my favorite Cava as they don’t skimp on the portions and it’s always a hit. They offer great vegetarian options also

I got the Harrisa bowl, too fire. Angie and team was so helpful and friendly in explaining the menu and crafting my bowl. 10/10 would recommend.

I have lived in Pasadena a very long time and come to this place since it opened. I came in today after not coming the entire summer and was so overjoyed with the beautiful African-American people working and all the different nationalities enjoying the environment of the restaurant. It’s so much laughter people having a good time. The vibes are so high. One woman in particular, Brandy stood out the most to me. She was so friendly to all the guest. People literally could not wait to get to the register so they can engage with her. She was so attentive with the entire staff when things were missing, making sure people have the best hot fresh food and bread.
I’m so overjoyed I came in today and I look forward to coming again to experience her and all the Cava Vibes.
Thank you

Always liked CAVA and today was no different. Ordered a Greek chicken salad which is served in a good size. Chicken flavor is great as the fresh veggies. Incredible hummus and dressing. Love it.

We have been coming to this location for some time now and I am so happy we found them. Today Brandi went above and beyond for our order and we’re so thankful to them and how fire the crew always is. Foods bomb. Staff is bomb. Brandi is bomb. Y’all go get some bomb food and service at Cava!

So CAVA is like a chipotle but more options and no burritos. Though I honestly think they should have an option for it because it'd be amazing!

BUT to continue. The food is fresh and they give you a decent amount so it will be filling. The choices are often juicy so it's flavorful. Both meat and vegan options available so it's a fan fav in my friend group.

I have been to been to various Cava locations in the Southern California are because I love the food at Cava and this location sticks out as the best one. After along day at work today I decided to get a grains and grains bowl and the food was amazing. The staff was also spectacular; Syd and Aaron were extremely accommodating and made everything fresh for me. I got exactly what I wanted and had an exceptional experience.

Fast, tasty, and affordable.

Sometimes their falafel is gooey and I've had undercooked lentils, but that doesn't stop me from going back.

Update 2023-09-02: placed a pickup order for two bowls today. The preparer left something out of each bowl; one was missing pita and mine was missing all three sauces.

I cannot express in words how wonderfully delicious CAVA is. I am absolutely hooked! My go to bowl is half super greens and brown rice. Of course the Saffron Basmati rice is incredible, I just figure the brown is a healthier option. You can’t go wrong with any of the dips and spreads. I am into spice, so harissa and crazy feta are a must. Then I switch between eggplant and red pepper hummus, depending on my mood. My main dish is always grilled chicken and roasted veggies. Yum! Next have at it with your favorite toppings. I finish off with pita crisps and the garlic and skhug dressings. Told you I like it spicy. Be sure to download the app and scan your QR code at each visit. The rewards add up quickly, especially for a regular like me. I’m an Epicure for those who understand what that is! ENJOY. I’m sure I’ll bump into you at my next visit.
