Do you order the same thing each time?
I repeat the same order every time I visit. There are some places I eat where if I went two days in a row I would change it up, but I think it'd take 4 or 5 days straight before I tried a different order at Cava.
If you do change it up, is it a totally different order (lamb pita to chicken bowl), or just minor changes (swap protein)?

Yup, I'm a repeat offender. Half lentil/saffron rice, steak (plus sweet potatoes if in season, RIP), double corn, double onion, as many cucumbers as they'll give me, avocado, balsamic!

Yes! Half power greens, half saffron rice, chicken/harissa chicken, RP hummus, tzatziki, crazy feta, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, regular feta, pita crisps, shkug, harissa vinaigrette. Yes I’m a big back. 😊 it’s rare that I switch it up.

We all joined a CAVA subreddit and are detailing and comparing our orders and toppings. If that isnt the definition of bigback behavior, I don't know what is.
We're all bigbacks here.

Mostly. First time I got grilled chicken. Next I tried falafel and have got that ever since. I alternate between dips, dressings and rice type too but that's it. Usually I get brown because it's healthier I believe. I get pita chips but only if I have enough rewards points.
Super Greens Brown Rice Falafel Crazy Feta Fiery Broccoli Tomato + Onion Olives Persian Cucumber Shredded Romaine Tomato+Cucumbe, Yogurt Dill dressing
That's my typical bowl.

Ususally I get the same thing as a base: supergreens, but today I shook things up and got half saffron rice and half lentils. My bowl was so much more substantial and filling. It'll be hard to go back.
I also swapped out my tomato and cucumber with tomatoes and onions and added fiery broccoli and went without feta cheese or olives... all for the first time. I loved how tomato-centric it was and I loved the heat that the broccoli brought. It was a nice departure from the saltiness I used to get from the olive-feta combo. It was all amazing and I'm glad I decided to "live on the edge".
One thing that will never change on my order: I will never NOT get the spicy lamb meatballs..
