CAVA, a growing Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant brand, is opening its first Brevard County location in Viera.
The restaurant is planned at 1975 Viera Blvd. in Lakeside, part of The Crossings at Viera shopping center just east of Interstate 95 and west of Star Rush Drive.
CAVA serves Mediterranean-inspired, chef-curated or individually customized bowls, pita wraps, salads, dips and dressings. Customers can choose from such options as grilled meatballs, braised lamb, falafel, tzatziki and roasted eggplant dip.
Founded by Ike Grigoropoulos, Chef Dimitri Moshovitis, Ted Xenohristos and Brett Schulman and launched in 2010, the popular, Maryland-based chain has more than 350 locations in 26 states and the District of Columbia, including 29 in Florida, according to the CAVA website.
An opening date for the Viera location has not been determined, according to CAVA corporate.
The closest CAVA to the Space Coast is in Oviedo.
Other businesses at The Crossings at Viera include a yet-to-open Whole Foods, a Home Depot, Miller’s Ale House and Panda Express.
