CAVA

I'm insane and have been waiting for this location by my house to open. I've tweeted them and dm'd them and finally it happened! Finally went and took my husband. He got the lamb pita and it was great. I made my own bowl, everything was delicious as usual.

It's definitely new, and you can tell with the service. It wasn't bad by any means, but little things like not getting you the pita that comes with your bowl, and mixing up super vs. splendid greens. No biggies, I'm sure they'll iron everything out!

The only thing that bugged me is that I asked for pickles and the employee accidentally put pickled onions on the bowl. I told her, and she went to throw the whole bowl out. I think she was told by the manager, but not sure. I asked her not to and that I'd just pick them off. I don't fault them, but I don't like that, especially at a place like Cava where "Food is a force for good." The level of nonchalantness toward food waste while partnering with organizations to reduce food insecurity is a turn-off. ESG initiatives are only great if you can walk the talk. It could be a great training opportunity.

Just opened - pretty tasty food :-) you can build your own salads / rice bowls / pitas
