Life’s more fun when you live it flavorfully — that’s why we’re taking a bolder approach to food.
CAVA’s about transforming better-for-you ingredients into bigger-than-life flavors, and empowering you to do the same.
We started in DC with three Greek friends who wanted to share the thoughtful ingredients and bold Mediterranean flavors they grew up loving — so that’s exactly what they did.
Now you can find our fast-casual restaurants full to the brim with all the bright, craveable ingredients you need to build a meal that fits your food-style, cravings, and appetite. Want to bring your own inspired recipes to life?
Our chef-crafted line of dips + spreads are waiting for you on the shelves of Whole Foods and specialty markets nationwide.
