How Cava Compares
Cava’s bowls and pitas are priced close to other build-your-own fast-casual chains like Chipotle or Sweetgreen, generally landing a bit higher than Chipotle for a comparable bowl size due to Cava’s dip and topping selection. Where it stands apart is its Mediterranean-specific ingredients, like Crazy Feta and harissa, which most competitors in the build-your-own space don’t offer.
About Cava
Cava’s story began in 2006 in Rockville, Maryland, when childhood friends Ted Xenohristos, Ike Grigoropoulos, and chef Dimitri Moshovitis, all with Greek family roots, opened a full-service restaurant called Cava Mezze, reportedly funding the launch with their own credit cards. As the concept caught on locally, the founders saw an opportunity to bring Mediterranean food to a wider, fast-casual audience, and business executive Brett Schulman joined in 2009 to help lead that transition.
Cava grew steadily over the following decade, and in August 2018 made a major move by acquiring the larger, publicly traded Zoës Kitchen chain in an all-cash deal worth about $300 million, converting most Zoës locations into Cava restaurants over the following years. Cava went public on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2023 under the ticker CAVA, and has continued expanding since, now operating several hundred locations nationwide.
Why Cava Is Famous
The build-your-own format. Guests choose a base like saffron basmati rice, greens, or black lentils, then add proteins, dips, and toppings to build a personalized bowl or pita.
Signature dips and toppings. Items like Crazy Feta and harissa have become closely associated with the brand and are hard to find at competing chains.
Full nutrition transparency. An online nutrition calculator lets customers see calorie and ingredient breakdowns for any combination they build.
Rapid national growth. Cava’s expansion, powered partly by the Zoës Kitchen acquisition, has made it one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains to go public in recent years.
FAQs
It’s an assembly-line process: pick a base (like greens, rice, or pita), add dips such as Crazy Feta, choose a protein like harissa honey chicken or spicy lamb meatballs, then add toppings and a dressing. Orders can also be placed through the app for pickup.
Most dips, dressings, and proteins are gluten-free, though the pita and falafel are not. It’s worth letting staff know about any severe allergies so they can use clean tools and change gloves.
Yes, Cava Rewards is a tiered loyalty program where members earn points per dollar spent, with perks like birthday rewards and higher-tier benefits such as free delivery unlocking at higher point thresholds.
Yes, Cava Catering offers Mediterranean spreads for offices and events, ordered through the same app or website used for regular pickup orders.
