" Ah, CAVA! My new lunchtime favorite! The food is always fresh and delicious. I could customize my bowl as I wished, similar to how you do at Chipotle, but with Mediterranean flavors! The portion sizes are generous, which I love. My only concern was with the service—it fluctuated between attentive and rushed depending on how busy they were. Overall, a fantastic place to grab a healthy meal quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA hasn't just met my expectations; it's exceeded them! I love Mediterranean food, and the customizable options they offer here allow you to build your perfect bowl. The fresh ingredients and variety of sauces make every visit different and exciting. The only drawback might be some inconsistencies in service, depending on when you visit – I've noticed some staff members more enthusiastic than others. Regardless, I'm a fan and will continue to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fabulous Mediterranean dining! The flavors splashed with every bite, especially the dips. I loved building my own bowl, but it did feel overwhelming at peak times with limited staff. Nevertheless, the food quality was really high, and I appreciate the health-focused options they provide. This has quickly become one of my favorite lunch spots, and I recommend it to anyone who loves fresh, flavorful meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food, but terrible service during my last visit! I really enjoyed the Mediterranean flavors and the build-your-own option, but the staff made me wait way too long to get my order right. I understand it gets busy, but some friendliness would go a long way. Nonetheless, it's a great concept, and I’ll give it another shot, hoping for better service! " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA is a delightful gem for anyone who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine! The build-your-own bowl is my favorite feature. I always leave feeling full and satisfied. The only downside was a rather chaotic experience with the staff during my visit; at times they seemed overwhelmed. Hopefully, their management can improve that in the future because the food quality is too good not to enjoy under better circumstances! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoy coming to CAVA! The build-your-own bowl concept is excellent, and I get to mix all my favorite Mediterranean ingredients. The lentils were a lovely addition, plus they have a great selection of dips and sauces. My only complaint is that sometimes the flavor of the chicken can be inconsistent, but overall, it's worth it for the freshness. Always leave happy and feeling light! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable experience at CAVA! The concept is similar to Chipotle, but I appreciated the Mediterranean twist. I felt the flavors were quite authentic, and the food was fresh. My only complaint was that during busy hours, the service could feel a bit neglectful – it would be nice if they could be more consistent. " (*Curated Review*)
