I'm going to give this place that I found a 5 star. I loved the food. It's basically same concept of Chipotle except is Mediterranean food and who doesn't love Mediterranean food. My experience here at this particular place was excellent food was delicious and the service exceptional. Very quiet. The only thing I didn't like is that you pay for parking in the lot. I think only REÍ customers do t pay.

Such a great location! I ordered for a film production of 25 people and all the orders were correct and labeled. Isaac was so nice and helped me get my orders to the car.

One of my favorite places to eat. Isaac helped us out and was very friendly and helpful!

I love Mediterranean food and just discovered this place. It is by far the best in town. Besides, the people are super nice and professional. Did I say the blondie is delicious too?

I've been here twice, and I loved it both times. I don't really know what all the negative reviews about portion size are about because I just ask them to add as much of something until I'm happy. It's like Chipotle. Yes, you have to pay more for protein...etc., but you can ask for more toppings. I'm vegan, and they have a ton of vegan options! Their falafel is delicious! Moist and flavorful on the inside and crispy on the outside. Their sauces are delicious, their rice is cooked well, their beans are tasty and tender! And the price is great for what you get. Vegans unite, lol! I prefer this over Chipotle big time. There's so much more flavor, and everything is cooked perfectly. Vegan burritos from Chipotle for me are always lacking in flavor and soggy, and I never like the rice. Price is about the same, but I always leave Cava full and with leftovers. But a burrito from Chipotle is always disappointing for me. There's also nothing creamy there for us (except guacamole), but Cava has a ton of creaminess and flavor! Just my opinion. I don't know how I didn't know about Cava before! For vegans: Most of their options here are vegan. For protein options, they have falafel or roasted veggies if you prefer (they're really good, too). All of the "topping" sections are vegan except for feta cheese. There's like 9 toppings. Their two rice options, lentils, and pita are vegan. Most of the dips are vegan (I love the hummuses, harrisa, and eggplant dip!), and you can pick up to you (you get 3 small scoops). The toppings are unlimited. And you can pick two dressings. Most of the dressings are vegan. Everything vegan is clearly labeled "vegan," so you don't have to guess or ask. Both times I've gone so far, I get a bowl with a piece of warm pita (comes on the side), romaine lettuce, splendid greens, lentils, saffron rice, 3 of the vegan dips, falafel, all the toppings except for feta (ask for extra if you love a topping), and two dressings (I love the garlic dressing, the tahini dressing, and the lemon tahini dressing). The bowl ends up being big. Both times, I've gone there very hungry and left with leftovers because I get full. I probably wouldn't recommend ordering pickup or delivery on the app. Definitely go in and order it yourself if you have the option because I think most of the complaints about size are from ordering it without being there. Chipotle is similar. You can ask them to give more of what you want when you're there and make sure they're giving enough, but when you order online, the portion is always smaller. There's enough seating inside and outside, too. The service is also fast and in my experience friendly.

Love cava and this location , exceptional service , friendly staff , Isaac and his co staff are delightful! Stop by and enjoy some Delish food and service :)

Cava is always good, a great alternative to ordering fast food or settling for a salad. The grains and veggies are always a healthy option. Service is great and it's the perfect place to order lunch on-the-go, the location is super convenient.

I never knew that there was a Cava at the Village at Topanga, but I'm glad to have found it. The staff members were especially friendly and patient during my first time ever ordering. I was able to sample a large number of their items, and the best part (outside of affordability) was that I never felt guilty eating any of their ingredients. My personal go-to is a half-and-half of their saffron rice and super greens, followed by half-and-half of chicken and grilled veggies and then (unfortunately) all their toppings with skhug - ugh, the best! This is understandably a busy location, but the one of the disadvantages of this location is that it's often never clean. Whether restrooms or the main eating area, the floor are often dirty and littered with trash. I wish there was more of an effort to keep it an inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the staff here are regularly some of the most hardworking and welcoming; I wish there was a way to tip them! :(

I've been coming to this CAVA for several years - since it first opened in The Village. Actually I ate there so much when it first opened, I OD'd a little bit. At some point, maybe post-pandemic, I felt the quality changed a bit. Portions were smaller and the overall vibe was different. So I really hadn't gone as much in the last couple years. Today, we went in because we hadn't had it in a while and we were craving it. The staff was super friendly and the portions seemed back to what they were before. Love the salad based bowl I got and I love the dips. I'm the kind of person who likes a lot of flavors in one bowl, so this is a perfect meal for me. I always get a build-your-own bowl with a mix of 2 kinds of greens with a little bit of brown rice or lentils and then I get LOTS of toppings with half protein and half veggies. I love that you can have as many toppings as you want and that you can go halfsies on the bases and proteins. I just ate half of my bowl for lunch and I still have an entire meal left for dinner. Woohoo! Shout out to Isaac and his team for their great customer service! I'm sure we'll see you again soon. Pro Tip for CAVA: Be sure to use the CAVA app. You get cash rewards to use toward future CAVA purchases. Pro Tip for The Village: Parking is free in the structure for 90 minutes. If you park in the outdoor ground level lots along Topanga Cyn Blvd, you have to pay.
