The menu at Cava includes grain bowls, salad bowls, salad/grain combination bowls, and pita wraps. While very similar to Sweetgreen in terms of marketing and custom bowl options, the chain's Mediterranean-inspired sauces, flavors, and dips have fans passionately craving Cava.

Cava currently has 26 locations in Florida. However, the Plantation location will be the first location south of Winter Park in Orlando.
