Is CAVA overhyped??? 👀

This was my first time trying CAVA after hearing about it so much from social media and friends who recommended. My honest opinion as a first timer I really enjoyed it! I have an extraordinary taste palette so I wasn’t nervous about the flavors. CAVA has so much to choose from and the food items just taste so fresh ✨ I ordered a bowl with a side of pita chips and I when I say I KNEW it was gonna slap when I took a bite of the pita chip in the car 😮‍💨 If you like Mediterranean food or just wanna try something new?? Go to CAVA next time you drive by 🫶🏽
