| - Had been reading all about CAVA, so I made a 30 mile drive north to meet my friend, Toni, there for lunch. It was exactly what I expected: fresh mediterranean-type food offered in build your own bowls. Think YAFO in the SouthPark area. I selected a bowl with the greens as the base. I added a lot of great veggies and my two proteins were pulled chicken and falafel. Also added a few different types of hummus, which were served in the bowl as small scoops. They were almost like sample sizes and I wish they would have been a bit more generous with those portions. The pitas looked really good (Toni enjoyed hers), but I tried hard to avoid the extra carbs. Since this is in the University area, I was not surprised to see all the college kids roaming around. It was very loud during the lunch hour, which made it difficult to carry on a conversation. That became better as we sat for awhile. It was fun watching some unidentified male millennial walking around with a shaved head and a man bun in the back. Hmmmm, I'm not sure if I am horrified or a little jealous that I can't pull off that look! If I'm up in that area again, I will not be hesitant to return to Cava. Hopefully my scoops of hummus will be a bit larger. And speaking of serving sizes, the "to go" containers looked larger than the "dine in" bowls. My suggestion is to make sure you get your meal in a "to go" container, even if you're planning to dine there!
