CAVA Drinks Menu: Every Beverage, Calories and Price Guide 2026

fruit beverages, fresh lemonade, brewed iced tea, sparkling water, bottled water, and simple

zero or very few calories. There are also options that can cool down a spicy bowl or add a fresh
taste to a rich pita.
This guide covers the complete CAVA beverage menu in simple words. It explains the calories,
flavors, caffeine, seasonal choices, kids’ options, and useful meal pairings.
Prices are not included as one fixed national amount because they can change by restaurant,

House-Made CAVA Juices and Agua Frescas

Many customers call CAVA’s colorful fruit beverages juices, refreshers, or agua frescas.
However, the current menu simply places them in the drinks section and describes several of
them as made in-house.
These CAVA drink flavors are usually sweeter than plain tea or sparkling water. They can be a
good match for guests who want a cold fruit beverage with their meal.
The present national lineup includes Tangerine Aleppo, Blueberry Lavender, Cucumber Mint
Lime, and Classic Lemonade. Pineapple Apple Mint has appeared on earlier menus, while
Strawberry Ginger is not shown on the current national menu.

House-Made CAVA Juices and Agua Frescas

Tangerine Aleppo

Nutrition: Do not publish unverified figures

Check the local restaurant menu before making a special trip.

CAVA Fountain Sodas and Sparkling Water

The CAVA menu includes Maine Root fountain soda along with several packaged sparkling and
still water choices.

Maine Root Fountain Soda

CAVA lists its fountain soda at 270 calories and says customers can choose from a selection of
Maine Root sodas. The exact flavors available may change by restaurant.
Maine Root makes several soft drinks, including cola, root beer, lemon-lime, and other flavors.
Some contain caffeine, while others do not. For example, Maine Root says its Mexican Cola
contains caffeine, while its Root Beer and Lemon Lime are caffeine-free.
Because CAVA does not list every local fountain flavor on its national page, ask the restaurant
which choices are available.
The 270-calorie figure is the general fountain soda number shown by CAVA. The final calories
may depend on flavor, serving size, ice, and whether refills are used.

Spindrift Lemon

Spindrift Lemon is sparkling water with a light lemon taste. CAVA lists it at only 3 calories.
It is a useful choice for people who like fizzy cold drinks but do not want a sweet fountain
beverage.
Taste: Light, bubbly and citrusy
Best pairings: Almost any bowl, pita, salad, side, or dessert
It may also help clean the strong taste of garlic, feta, harissa, or pickled toppings from the mouth
between bites.

Spindrift Half Tea & Half Lemon

Spindrift Half Tea & Half Lemon combines sparkling water with tea and lemon flavors. CAVA lists
the can at 5 calories.
It has more flavor than plain sparkling water but is much lighter than Classic Lemonade or a
fountain soda.
Because it contains tea, people who strictly avoid caffeine should check the package label.
CAVA does not list a caffeine amount on its main menu.

Open Water Sparkling

Open Water Sparkling is plain carbonated water with zero calories. CAVA marks it vegan and
vegetarian.
This is one of the simplest CAVA drink options. It does not add sweetness to the meal and can
work with every protein, dip, topping, or dressing.

Open Water Still

Open Water Still is plain bottled water with zero calories. It is the safest simple choice when you
do not want sugar, strong flavor, bubbles, or a tea-based beverage.
It is also useful with salty toppings, spicy dressings, and meals that already contain many rich
ingredients.

CAVA Teas

CAVA currently serves two brewed iced tea options: Jasmine Green Tea and Unsweet Tea.
Both have zero calories and are brewed in-house. They are useful choices for people who want
more flavor than water without the calories found in lemonade, fruit beverages, or regular soda.

Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine Green Tea is an iced green tea with light floral notes. It has zero calories. The jasmine flavor gives it a softer smell and taste than plain green tea. It can pair well with chicken, salmon, vegetables, feta, cucumber, and lighter salad bowls. Green tea normally contains caffeine. However, CAVA does not publish the exact caffeine amount for this drink on its main menu. The FDA notes that caffeine levels can change based on the tea, serving size, and preparation method.

Does CAVA Have Organic Tea?

The current national menu does not describe Jasmine Green Tea or Unsweet Tea as organic. It
describes them as brewed in-house.
Do not label these drinks as organic tea unless CAVA adds that claim to the menu or confirms it
through an official ingredient source.

CAVA Kids Drinks

A CAVA kids’ meal can include a small juice or milk. The current kids’ drink choices are apple
juice, regular milk and chocolate milk.

Kids Apple Juice

Kids Apple Juice is an organic apple juice from Honest Kids. CAVA says it has no added sugar
and lists it at 35 calories.
It is the lowest-calorie flavored kids’ drink currently listed.
“No added sugar” does not mean that the drink contains no natural sugar. Fruit juice can contain
sugar that comes from fruit. Parents can review the package label when they need the full
nutrition details.

Kids Chocolate Milk

Kids Chocolate Milk is organic 1% chocolate milk with 150 calories. It contains milk and is
marked vegetarian.
It is sweeter than regular milk and has 40 more calories based on CAVA’s current menu figures.
Customers with a milk allergy should not order either milk option. CAVA also warns that its
restaurants use shared preparation areas and cannot promise that an item will be fully free from
allergen cross-contact.

Does CAVA Have Caffeine-Free Options?

Yes. CAVA has several choices for people who do not want tea or caffeinated soda.
The clearest caffeine-free choices are:

Drink	Calories	Caffeine Note
Open Water Still	0	Plain water
Open Water Sparkling	3	Plain sparkling water
Spindrift Lemon	35	Lemon sparkling water
Kids Apple Juice	110	Apple juice
Kids Milk	110	Plain milk

The house-made fruit drinks and Classic Lemonade are not described as containing coffee or
tea. However, CAVA does not place a clear caffeine-free label or caffeine total beside each
drink.
Jasmine Green Tea and Unsweet Tea contain tea, which is a normal source of caffeine. Spindrift
Half Tea & Half Lemon is also tea-based. Some Maine Root fountain choices contain caffeine,
while other flavors are caffeine-free.
People avoiding caffeine for a medical reason should choose plain water or confirm the drink
with restaurant staff.

CAVA Drinks Calories and Nutrition

Calories can make a large difference when added to a full bowl or pita.
The current CAVA drinks range from 0 to 360 calories. Four choices have zero calories, while
the house-made sweet drinks range from 190 to 360 calories.

CAVA Drinks From Lowest to Highest Calories

Rank	Beverage	Calories

These figures are useful for comparison, but calories do not tell the complete nutrition story. A
drink may also contain natural sugar, added sugar, sodium, milk, fruit ingredients, or caffeine.
CAVA directs customers to its full nutrition and allergen guide for detailed information. Menu
recipes and serving sizes can also change.

Best CAVA Drink Menu Pairings

The right beverage can balance the heat, salt, richness or acidity in a meal. These pairings are
based on flavor, so personal taste may be different.

Harissa chicken with cucumber and a drink in a glass

Spicy Chicken & Cucumber Mint Lime

Cucumber Mint Lime is a strong match for harissa chicken. Cucumber and mint create a cool taste, while lime adds freshness.

The drink is sweet, so it can balance hot harissa vinaigrette, jalapeño, skhug, and spicy toppings.

Steak with a bright citrus drink in a glass

Steak & Tangerine Aleppo

Steak has a deep and rich taste. Tangerine adds bright citrus, while Aleppo-style pepper fits the warm spices used in many CAVA meals.

This pairing works especially well with feta, red pepper hummus, rice, pickled onions, and roasted vegetables.

Falafel with a refreshing drink in a glass

Falafel & Classic Lemonade

Falafel, hummus, tahini, and pita can feel rich or dry without a drink. Lemonade adds sweetness and acidity.

For a lower-calorie pairing, use Spindrift Lemon instead.

Greek Salad & Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine Green Tea has a light taste that does not cover cucumber, tomato, olives, feta, hummus, or Greek vinaigrette.

Its floral note may also work well with fresh herbs and greens.

Mediterranean meatballs with a purple blueberry lavender style drink

Lamb & Blueberry Lavender

Lamb meatballs have a warm, seasoned flavor. Blueberry Lavender adds sweetness and a light floral note.

This is a bold pairing for guests who like mixing savory and sweet flavors.

Salmon & Sparkling Water

Plain sparkling water is a clean match for salmon. It lets the fish, vegetables, yogurt dressing, hummus, and herbs remain the main flavors.

Spindrift Lemon is another useful choice because citrus often works well beside fish.

How to Check CAVA Drink Prices

CAVA drink prices can vary by location. A price shown for one restaurant may not match
another restaurant in a different city.
Delivery prices may also be different from pickup or in-store prices. Third-party delivery services
may add fees or use different menu pricing.
Use these steps before ordering:
1. Open the official CAVA website or app.
2. Select your nearest restaurant.
3. Choose pickup or delivery.
4. Open the drinks section.
5. Check the current price and availability.
6. Review the order total before paying.
This method is more reliable than using an old national price list. CAVA’s ordering system is built
around choosing a location and adding the available item to the order.

Are CAVA Drinks Vegan?

Many CAVA beverages do not contain dairy. Product pages for Blueberry Lavender, Cucumber
Mint Lime, Classic Lemonade, Unsweet Tea, and Open Water Sparkling mark those drinks
vegan and vegetarian.
Kids Milk and Kids Chocolate Milk are not vegan because they contain dairy.
Fountain soda ingredients depend on the selected Maine Root flavor. Packaged products and
seasonal recipes can also change, so review the latest label when following a strict vegan diet.

Seasonal CAVA Drinks and Menu Changes

CAVA changes parts of its menu throughout the year. A drink found in an older article may no
longer be available.
Tangerine Aleppo was announced as a seasonal drink in January 2026. Pineapple Apple Mint
returned to the menu in October 2024 but is not in the current national lineup.
Seasonal products may:
● Stay for a limited period
● Return after leaving the menu
● Be tested in selected areas
● Sell out at some restaurants
● Have different calories after a recipe change
Check the publication date on any CAVA drinks list. A guide without a visible update date may
contain old information.
