Cava, a Mediterranean chain restaurant, is set to open in Cincinnati

A new healthy eatery is set to open its first Cincinnati restaurant next year.

Cava, a Mediterranean-inspired chain, plans to open a Greater Cincinnati location inside the Oakley Station shopping center. It will take over the former Holtman’s Donut Shop space at 3356 Madison Road.

Cava, a Medditeranean-inspired chain, is set to open its first Cincinnai location sometime in 2026.

Emma Vogt, brand communications manager for Cava, said the location will open in the new year, but she couldn’t confirm any other specifics or a projected opening date.

Known for its Chipotle-like model, the fast-casual restaurant offers customizable and fresh Mediterranean bowls. Founded in 2010, Cava has expanded to 400 stores across the country.
