"Cava is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant chain that is opening a new location in Kendall Square, Cambridge. This will be the fifth Cava restaurant in Massachusetts and the 72nd location nationwide. The restaurant features a customizable menu with seasonal rotations, offering a variety of greens, grains, and pita bases, along with dips, spreads, proteins, and toppings. The fall menu includes items like Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, cauliflower, Greek minestrone soup, carrot and currant topping, and red pepper chickpea dressing. The Kendall Square location will also serve house-made juices and teas, Spindrift seltzer, and extras like pita chips, hummus, dips, and cookies. The opening will be celebrated with a community day offering free lunches and accepting donations for the non-profit partner, Future Chefs." - Dana Hatic
