" CAVA is the perfect spot for a quick yet filling meal! I went with the tahini caesar bowl and was blown away by the freshness. The flavors melded beautifully, and it was satisfying without being heavy. The staff was eager to help and answered all my questions about the best combinations. It's a well-organized place with a vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting after work when it's less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I usually enjoy CAVA, my experience last week wasn't up to par. The bowls were absolutely lacking in portion, and it felt like I paid a premium for a small meal. This was surprising because I've had great portion sizes before. I think consistency is an issue here, and I hope to see improvements in that area because I do love their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to CAVA several times and am always satisfied with the food. However, my last visit was confusing because I received the wrong order and the staff didn’t seem to have a handle on things. The food itself was good once I got what I ordered, but the mix-up left me with a sour taste about the experience. I know they're usually busy, so I might go back on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" After waiting a long period in line, I finally surrendered and ordered to-go, which was a great choice! The food was really good, and I had a while to decide on my toppings while waiting. I got a grain bowl with chicken and it was delicious and filling. The staff helped me choose sauces that went perfectly together. I would definitely recommend CAVA to anyone wanting good Mediterranean! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a phenomenal experience at CAVA last weekend! The spicy lamb meatball bowl was packed with flavor, and the fresh ingredients really shone through. The service was quick, and the staff were incredibly friendly. After a long time craving Mediterranean food, this place did not disappoint! I’ll certainly be returning to try more of their offerings.

" CAVA is a nice option for Mediterranean. I ordered the chicken and was pleased with the level of flavor. However, I felt that the portion size wasn't a great value for what I paid. All in all, I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but they need to be consistent with their portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Mediterranean fast-casual place in Chicago! Coming from California where I frequented CAVA, I was thrilled to find one in Wicker Park. The food is fresh and honestly just makes me happy. The ambiance is relaxing, perfect for either a quick bite or a laid-back lunch. I love that I can customize my bowls and really get what I want. Authentic and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)
