    It is somehow quiet and extremely loud in here. Which makes it difficult to order. Other than that, food is great and the workers got us through the line quickly.

    Classic fast casual Mediterranean bowl spot. However many do the workers here, like Adam the manager seem to have attitude and give dirty looks.

    Easy spot to grab dinner. Gluten free options and friendly staff. If they're out of something you want it only takes a minute for them to finish fresh food.

    I have told many friends that Cava is superior to Chipotle in many ways. The assortment and freshness of the ingredients consistently inspires me to eat healthier and in a more colorful manner. I truly want to meal prep in a way that would allow me to stimulate a Cava bowl. It is a bucket list item of mine to do. The first time I had gone to Cava I loved how you could get unique flavors from mixing the different beverages they offer. You can put together a fun concoction. Inside there’s a good amount of seating, and plenty more outside that is unique to the Woodbury Town Center plaza. Grateful for the people who make this place happen.

    The rice was undercooked, we were charged for water, and the food was drenched in dressing. This is by far the worst CAVA location I’ve been to. Staff and cooks need better training. I don’t recommend this location—go to the one in Woodbury Town Center on Irvine Blvd. That’s the only one I’ve been to. However, I know for sure any other location but this one on Barranca will be good. This particular one is terrible for whatever reason (probably the manager since each CAVA is managed by a different manager and therefore varies in how clean, friendly, quick etc it is).
