Here’s What’s New At CAVA In 2026: Sweet Potatoes, Power Greens, And More
CAVA, one of my favorite places to go for filling yet nutritious eats, is stepping into the new year with an all-new curated menu. To coincide with the launch, the chain is bringing back one of its most-requested items—white sweet potatoes—which first hit the menu in 2021 and are featured in the new bowls. The 2026 menu includes two new bowls and four staples for fans to get creative with. Here’s a breakdown of what’s in store:
NEW CURATED BOWLS –
- Spicy Lamb + Sweet Potato Bowl: A hearty bowl that fuels you. Featuring spicy lamb meatballs and white sweet potatoes, plus new Power Greens and brown rice for a good source of fiber. Joined with tzatziki, red pepper hummus, sumac slaw, pickled onions, feta, cucumber, tomatoes, and tahini Caesar.
- Harissa Chicken Power Bowl: A sweet-meets-heat bowl with layers of flavor, including harissa honey chicken, white sweet potato, and nutritious Power Greens. Enjoyed with Crazy Feta, hummus, new sumac slaw, tomato + onion, broccoli, cucumber, avocado, skhug, and yogurt dill dressing.
NEW À LA CARTE STAPLES –
