FAVA — Restaurant in Berkeley

Uber Delicious & Uber Healthy Fresh!!! Omg. I wish I lived close by I would eat at Fava everyday!!! Cheapest organic green juice i have ever seen and tasty.

I ordered online and when I went to pickup I asked about the green juice if it was organic. I was greeted by one of the owners, Unbeknownst to me at the time, with a big smile. She & her employees have this amazing friendly and cool vibe.

I got the spicy chicken pita. Omg I was in heaven. Spicy plus the earthy abundance of herbs plus the lovely pickled cabbage and amazing pita bread.. I was in heaven. A blue dragonfly came to visit me as I took my first bite. Guess it wanted some! Lured by the scent.. and flew away as I didn't pay it much heed as I was entranced with this lovely edible creation that I was mtg for the first time. The green juice quenched my thirst. Refreshing.

The Tahini chocolate cookie. To die for and huge!!! Bigger than the photos on Instagram. I was shocked how it took up the entire width and length of the paper bag it was resting in. My only thing was it had 2 much chocolate!!.but that's bc im a minimalist with the chocolate chips and love my cookie dough. But thats me. The sesame seed sprinkle atop made it more fun and delightful to eat!!!! I'm still dreaming about that cookie. Best chocolate chip cookie ive ever had.. im in love!

Red lentil soup amazing!! Best ever

Enuf reading my rambling? Go to FAVA! Now and eat delectably amazing fresh yummy grub that's good for u 2! Made by awesome peeps.. i.bow to them.

Over and...

This is one of my go to lunch spots. Their hours of operation are sort of limited and primarily in the midst of the work week, but the brightest flames burn out first. Super fresh, healthy Mediterranean style food a la California. Every single thing on the menu is excellent.

Who knew broccoli could be so tasty? Who knew a red cabbage slaw could usurp an entire meal? Who knew a boiled egg could melt in your mouth like custard? I didn't really care for tabouleh before FAVA, but wowow theirs is good. When I eat here, I genuinely feel better for the rest of the day. Physically and mentally. Their focus on fresh and healthy ingredients absolutely shines through in the eating experience. Wholesome, in a word.

Try the soup. Try the salad. TRY THE MANGO LASSI RIGHT NOW. The desserts are simple but yummy. Try everything. Every cent spent here is a cent well spent. This is a to-go only place with no seating. If you want to sit somewhere in the Neighborhood, you can walk into the tunnel to Sunnyside Cafe where there are open tables, or walk over to Saul's where they've got a free public patio, or go to the Tables in/around Peet's. I've never seen anyone get in trouble...

FAVA is everything!! I LOVE the Lamb Flatbreads, fresh Herby Falafels, and rotating soups and salads. Most recently, I had a Golden Squash Soup w/ Jalapeno Yogurt that was divine. Their drinks are also insanely refreshing and reasonably priced.

Fava is nothing short of everything I want and need at lunch time. The menu changes with the seasons, so it always features the absolute freshest ingredients that local farms have to offer. It also means that I never tire of what's on the menu, and there's usually something new and delicious to try. I sincerely appreciate their small menu because that means everything is excellent. It's simple math! The share of time and effort paid to each dish is above and beyond what most places can afford to give. Lastly, Sylvia and Jeremy (the chefs/co-owners) put their heart and soul into every detail of this tiny restaurant and you truly FEEL it when you're there. I always feel so good, and so proud of my community after I...
