  Delicious Mediterranean food in downtown Culver. Had easy to read menu with great pita and salad/rice bowl options. You can pick your protein, go with the pre made list of dishes or build your own. Good amount of great tasting food. Very juicy chunks of steak and lamb were had on my pita. They also have a combination of about 7 tea or juice mixes available plus the regular fountain drink machine.

  So wonderful & pleasant to deal with the customer service at the Culver City location. The young lady that helped me Sunday was so understanding. I appreciate the workers over there. Wonderful customer service.

  I have been ordering from Cava almost on daily basis for past one year. Sometimes this location, sometimes another location. Today I had the worst experience from one of their female employee.I order online most of the time for pickup. Today around 9.30 pm,May 1st 2026, I went online to order and it said it would be ready around 10.15pm which was late so I decided to walk in and order and a female employee asked me “what can I get for you?” I said can I get falafel crunch “everything except rice”. And then she asked me do you want greens? I said “yes everything except rice”. My everyday order in Cava is falafel crunch bowl “everything in it except rice .“ I said “yes everything except rice.” Again she is asking me if I want greens and then I asked does it comes with greens, she said no. I said okay. Now she is asking me if I want grains in it. I said “yes everything except rice.” And she is telling me lentils is literally grain by rolling her eyes. She was trying to start a fight .She was trying to teach me about grains. I said okay . Learn some manners and be classy and learn to treat everyone equally before getting a job. Your attitude is not going to get you anywhere and she asked the other girl “if she knows how to make falafel crunch” and passed bowl to her. The other girl brought the card in which it’s written what goes inside it and she made the order.I felt so humiliated and embarrassed. I felt like she targeted me because I was not white. I was wearing a simple hoodie and pants and sneakers. I was not wearing anything flashy or putting on makeup. She was extremely rude to me. I live around the area so I do not have to be flashy or dripped in designer just to order food. I don’t have desire to impress anybody. She treated me like I don’t know anything. I speak five languages girl. I have never experienced that kind of behavior and I have been there before and other people have helped me. They are so nice and kind. Every time I order from Cava whether this location or Santa Monica or Westwood. I always say “can I get falafel crunch bowl everything except rice in it”. I say it and they say “okay” and get the card in which it’s written what goes in it and they make it. Is it my fault that I don’t know what goes in falafel crunch bowl? Do I work there? I contemplated a lot if I was rude to her, I was not. I go there almost everyday. Everyone is nice except this girl. She herself is Hispanic and I don’t know what made her feel like she is better and decided to treat me like trash when she could not even do her job and lash it out on customer for not knowing what goes in “falafel crunch bowl.” I am never going to that location again. I hope somebody calls out on this girl for her behavior.

  had a really uncomfortable experience at this location today during my lunch break. While my bowl was being prepared, I clearly saw a bunch of saliva fall into my food from the employee making it (she had her mouth opened the whole time). I pointed it out immediately and had the bowl remade, but the situation was honestly very concerning. This isn’t about blaming the individual employee, but about basic food safety standards. If something like that can happen so openly, it raises concerns about overall hygiene practices and supervision during food prep. The manager did offer a discount making the food $6.86, which I appreciate, but given the nature of the situation, I don’t feel that was an adequate response. I ended up not eating the food at all because I felt uneasy about the conditions not knowing if she was drooling on other food items. I hope management takes this seriously and ensures proper food safety protocols are being followed at all times.

  I had a very disturbing experience at the CAVA (Store #70104). 9343 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232 While I was picking up my order, I witnessed an employee, Joscueline, repeatedly accuse a Black nurse of stealing a cookie and putting it in her pocket. This was not a quick clarification she asked her three separate times, in front of other customers, in a way that was clearly accusatory and inappropriate. It was obvious the nurse was there picking up multiple orders for her ER department, yet she was still treated like a thief. The situation escalated to the point where the nurse felt forced to remove her jacket in public just to prove she had nothing. No one should ever be put in that position. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. Whether intentional or not, the situation came across as deeply biased and unacceptable. Customers should not be singled out, repeatedly accused, and publicly embarrassed like that. To make matters worse, the manager, Henry, refused to provide a corporate contact when asked so a complaint could be filed. That lack of accountability only made the situation worse. This was unprofessional, disrespectful, and honestly shocking to witness. Based on how this situation was handled, I will not be returning. At that point every meal in that order should have gotten a free cookie.
