The CAVA Fall Menu Brings Back An Iconic Fan-Favorite Topping
It’s totally okay if you got a little too ambitious about the return of pumpkin spice – the PSL burnout is *so* real. Luckily, there are tons of alternative ingredients and flavors to enjoy for the fall season. The CAVA fall menu is a flawless example of capitalizing on in-season produce: spinach, sweet potato, and dates are the stars of this year’s offerings. Let’s dive into what exactly the CAVA fall menu has to offer in lieu of the pumpkin era!

First up on the CAVA fall menu is the Sweet + Spicy Chicken Pita. It carries all the dualities you could ever want out of an autumnal meal – it’s sweet yet spicy, creamy yet crunchy, and crispy yet fluffy. The pita presents a mix of harissa-honey chicken, romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, tzatziki, and the chain’s beloved Balsamic Date Vinaigrette. Our mouths are watering already!
Making use of some Mediterranean faves, another new item on the CAVA fall menu is the Balsamic Date Chicken Bowl. Grilled chicken, eggplant dip, roasted red pepper hummus, corn, cabbage slaw, tomato, cucumber, and brown rice get piled on top of each other to form an extremely nourishing meal for fall time. Of course, everything is topped off with the tangy Balsamic Date Vinaigrette.
Finally, CAVA fulfilled fans’ wishes of bringing back the Roasted White Sweet Potato! It’s a creamy-nutty topping that ushers in the real flavors of fall. The white sweet potato pieces are seasoned generously with a mix of paprika, coriander, salt, and olive oil that is beyond delicious for a seasonal lunch or dinner when you don’t feel like cooking.
