New CAVA Restaurant Opens in Brea, California

CAVA opened a new restaurant in Brea, California. The restaurant is located in Brea Gateway at 103 W. Imperial Highway, Brea, CA 92821.

With Mediterranean-inspired bowls, pitas, dips, and dressings, the fast-casual restaurant chain serves food that helps people eat well and live well. These menu offerings, combined with an emphasis on hospitality and serving others, have created diverse, passionate followers.

“Our mission is to bring heart, health, and humanity to food, and everything we do at CAVA is grounded in that spirit of generosity, to our guests, our team members, and our community,” said Tony Frazier, Regional Director in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to be in Brea.”

Before the doors officially open, every CAVA restaurant invites their new neighbors to the table for a free meal, accepts donations to support a local cause, and matches those donations up to $1,000. Since 2019, this companywide Community Day program has raised more than $500,000 in donations, mostly targeted at improving food security in local communities. CAVA’s Brea Community Day event raised funds for FoodCycle LA, a nonprofit organization that recovers and diverts surplus food to Los Angeles communities experiencing food insecurity.

Prior to the grand opening, CAVA also partnered with Food Finders to donate hundreds of fresh meals prepared throughout the restaurant’s training period to local community members. The company’s food donation program launched nationally in fall 2023 to improve food insecurity and reduce food waste as CAVA expands to new locations.
