CAVA 11840 Whittier Boulevard, Whittier, CA 90601

"I enjoyed the Chicken Mediterranean bowl with all the toppings; the flavors were amazing. The variety of sauces and toppings added a delightful touch. I’ll definitely be back for more. I will try another protein the next time I go."

"I’ve been to a different Cava in the past but I wasn’t fond of their offerings but because I did a diy bowl instead of a curated bowl. I got a curated bowl and it was delicious, solid flavors and dressing with a good amount of chicken. I tried their lamb meatballs and they were good, very gamy but still decently flavored. I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items."

"Very good concept of Mediterranean food. You may not fully understand the concept if your first time. They have a few set items but you can fully do your own thing. Very much like a poke bowl or a Chinese two-item combo. Pick your base, your dips, and two main items. The spicy items do have a kick. Nothing too bad, but for sensitive palettes like my wife’s it was a surprise. I loved the meatballs and the falafel. The super greens are crisp and crunchy. No soggy lettuce. The dips, eggplant, hummus, etc. are fresh and flavorful. The place is super busy for lunch but the line moves quickly. Customers are diverse in age and trends, more on the young hipster crowd. 5 miles from our house so we need to drive. That may limit our visits, but this is a target for a custom bowl. The staff is helpful and welcoming but just a bit rushed."

"First time here and I'm really glad I stumbled upon this place. I've been craving Mediterranean food for quite some time and I have been wanting to eat healthier food. I tried their chicken + avocado pita and also I created my own bowl. Very fresh, flavorful and colorful. I enjoyed the spicy lamb and falafel too. I also enjoyed their cucumber lime mint juice."
