The fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant, CAVA, appears to be setting up shop in Ocala. A recent project filing lists the newest location for the brand at 2800 College Road.
CAVA’s menu offers diners a variety of bowl and pita options. Guests can build a bowl starting with a base of greens, grains, or both, or choose the pita option. They can then add a dip or spread such as hummus, roasted eggplant, tzatziki, or Crazy Feta. Proteins include grilled chicken, Harissa Honey chicken, falafel, and spicy lamb meatballs. Diners can then top their creations with a variety of ingredients and a dressing.
Marion County property records show that the site was purchased by BOFUS Ocala, LLC, last December for approximately $1,437,000 from RTG Properties, LLC, which is registered to Rooms to Go.
Around 26 of those restaurants are located in Florida, including two in Gainesville. The new CAVA in Ocala is the first in the area and one of only a handful few serving north central Florida.
