Cava Lands in Northern California | California News

Cava, the customizable Mediterranean bowl spot that’s basically Chipotle meets Middle East, is finally hitting Northern California—with its first Bay Area location opening in San Jose’s Santana Row in 2027. Founded by three childhood friends in 2010 and now boasting over 450 locations nationwide, Cava chose the Bay Area over cities like Seattle after a customer social media vote. Known for build-your-own bowls with salmon, steak, falafel, and their wildly popular “Crazy Feta” dip, they’re bringing their signature dips—spicy harissa, tzatziki, whipped feta—to the region. Already strong in Southern California with 40+ spots, this expansion marks a major leap into the North, and fans are already counting down to the opening.
