" Heard all the hype about CAVA, and let me tell you, it lives up to it! The menu is like a playground of flavors that you can customize to your liking. I chose options that had plenty of fresh and vibrant colors; it was a feast for the eyes! The customer service was friendly and informative, guiding me with the choices I had. I must say, I was a bit disappointed with the portion of protein on my bowl, but overall, I left feeling satisfied and eager to recommend this place to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic first experience at CAVA! The bowl I created was vibrant and delicious, bursting with fresh ingredients. I particularly loved the roasted veggies and the spicy harissa sauce that gave it an exceptional kick. The employees were all sweet and eager to assist. One issue I noticed was that they seemed understaffed during the lunch rush, which slowed down service quite a bit. Nevertheless, the food made up for it, and I can’t wait to return again soon and try something new off their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty disappointing experience at CAVA. While the flavors were decent, I ordered a bowl expecting generous portions but was left feeling shortchanged. The service was lackluster—they seemed overwhelmed, and my order took longer than expected. The atmosphere was nice but felt overcrowded during lunchtime. I believe they can do better with both portion control and customer service, as I had enjoyed it more in the past. I might consider revisiting but will probably be wary of what to expect next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" CAVA could be my new favorite spot! First time visiting, I went in a tad confused by the menu, but the staff was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the options. I tried their signature bowls and was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. The ambiance was lively, making it a great place to hang out with friends. My only gripe was during the busy lunch hour; some items seemed to be running low. Overall, a great experience for a first-timer! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying CAVA and loved the experience! The food was fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. I particularly enjoyed a custom bowl loaded with all my favorite toppings. The only complaint I have is the long line, but that’s to be expected for great food. The staff handled the crowd admirably, keeping things moving. I would suggest adding some more seating options to accommodate lunch crowds better. Overall, I can see this becoming a go-to spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for some delicious Mediterranean food, CAVA is a great choice! I appreciated being able to customize my bowl with a variety of ingredients. My meal was bursting with flavor and made with fresh, everyday ingredients. The seating area had a nice modern vibe, and despite some busy periods, I felt taken care of. Portions have been hit or miss, so I’m cautiously optimistic about my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic spot! CAVA surprised me with its variety of healthy options, and my favorite part was the fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. I opted for a veggie bowl with a zesty tahini dressing that made my taste buds dance. The atmosphere is chic, and the staff treated me with kindness from the moment I walked in. If there’s one downside, it’s that I could have eaten another bowl right after finishing—such delicious food and ample choices! Definitely a place I recommend to anyone looking for fresh Mediterranean fare. " (*Curated Review*)
