CAVA
CAVA in Streeterville draws locals for fresh, generously portioned bowls, friendly service, and must-try BBQ pita chips—an easy, healthier stop after work or a workout. Regulars praise the clean space and helpful team, but reviews flag inconsistent execution, including dry or burnt meats, missing ingredients and sauces, unavailable sides, crowded lines, and frustrating app pickup delays.

“Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on with this location. I tried giving them a second chance after my last visit a few weeks ago, when they messed up the meat in my Harissa Avocado Bowl and gave me what tasted like braised lamb instead of harissa chicken. I didn’t complain because I was already hungry and didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Unfortunately, the same thing happened again today. They were, out of cucumbers, and once again they gave me braised meat instead of harissa chicken. It’s really disappointing because this location has been consistently missing the mark. At this point, I think I’ll just keep going out of my way to the Wicker Park location, since they’ve always gotten my order right.”
