With more than 330 locations nationwide, popular Mediterranean chain CAVA is continuing to build out its footprint in the Tampa Bay market. Plan review paperwork indicates a new location headed to Palm Harbor, with an opening at 33163 US Highway 19 N, at Coral Landings Shopping Plaza.

CAVA was founded by Ike Grigoropoulos, Chef Dimitri Moshovitis, and Ted Xenohristos, a group of friends who share a love of Greek cuisine.

“CAVA is grounded in the Mediterranean way of life, where food is at the center of culture and connection,” says the CAVA website’s Our Story page. “It’s not only about the food, though. CAVA’s inspiration is rooted in the entire Mediterranean meal experience, notably that feeling-so-cared-for genuine expression of hospitality and warmth. Which is why, at CAVA, generosity is our cornerstone.”

CAVA’s menu of Mediterranean centers bowls and pitas, including the Balsamic Date Chicken bowl (Grilled chicken, eggplant dip, red pepper hummus, corn, brown rice, spinach, balsamic date vinaigrette) and the Lentil Avocado Bowl (Falafel, roasted veg, roasted eggplant, hummus, avocado, lentil, tabbouleh, spinach, SuperGreens, skhug), and pitas that come in varieties like Sweet + Spicy Chicken, Crispy Falafel, and Spicy Lamb Meatball.

Opening in Coral Landings Shopping Plaza, the shopping center located on the northeast corner of the intersection with Coral Landings Boulevard, CAVA would join fast-casual concepts like Chipotle Mexican Grill and Einstein Bros. Bagels.
