Cava is the ultimate Mediterranean destination for fresh, flavorful meals tailored to your taste. If you love the freedom to create your own dishes, Cava offers a “build-your-own” bowl experience, similar to Chipotle, where you can choose from a variety of grains, proteins, dips, and toppings to craft a meal that’s truly your own. Every ingredient is carefully prepared to highlight the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, from tender grilled chicken and slow-roasted lamb to crisp vegetables, savory spreads, and zesty dressings.

For those moments when time is tight, Cava also offers chef-crafted bowls that are ready to enjoy, combining perfectly balanced flavors in convenient, satisfying meals. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty, light, or packed with bold Mediterranean spices, there’s a bowl for every appetite.

What sets Cava apart is its commitment to fresh ingredients, customizable options, and authentic flavors, making it more than just a meal—it’s a culinary experience. Perfect for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner, or even meal prep for the week, Cava makes it easy to enjoy wholesome, delicious Mediterranean food exactly how you like it.

The cleanliness of this Irvine location is zero. Forget tables, the floors are sticky. I can only imagine how bad their kitchen would be. Like others have suggested, the portions are way less at this location. Tried it twice in different weeks and different days. It was the same experience. So not a one-off. The Fullerton location on Chapman is wayyy better in hospitality in general. Might as well drive there.

Odd experience. Portion was much less than other locations I have been to. Could barely find the small bits of steak, which I paid extra for. There was quite a bit of food container/prep clutter on the counter in the prep area which is highly visible to patrons who are leaving the checkout area and eating. As I was eating my meal, I was watching an employee mix up raw meat in a large plastuc container. The entire customer area is unkempt from the drink and utensil section to the trash to the ladies room, including floors and tables. Oh and then there's the loud music. Appears very disorganized and on the dirty side. Will not be eating there again
