Get spicy near Disney and Universal! The new CAVA Hot Harissa Meal includes limited-edition plushies inspired by fan-favorite pita chip flavors—only while supplies last.

If you’re looking to spice up your summer with bold Mediterranean flavor—and maybe pick up a surprise plushie while you’re at it—CAVA is bringing the heat to Orlando with the launch of its Hot Harissa Meal. Available starting August 11, this limited-time in-restaurant exclusive isn’t just about the food (although that’s reason enough to go). It also introduces a quirky, collectible twist: limited-edition blind-bag plushies based on CAVA’s beloved pita chips.
Whether you’re visiting Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort, you won’t have to go far to find a CAVA location offering this unique experience. With convenient locations in Lake Buena Vista, Dr. Phillips, and Winter Park, CAVA is now a tasty, budget-friendly stop for travelers who want a quick but satisfying bite before or after hitting the parks.
The CAVA Hot Harissa Meal: What’s Inside?
Designed for flavor-lovers and collectors alike, the Hot Harissa Meal is CAVA’s first-ever branded meal experience. It features:
- Harissa Avocado Bowl – a bold, savory mix of grains, veggies, spicy harissa, creamy avocado, and Mediterranean toppings
- Hot Harissa Pita Chips – zesty, crunchy chips with just the right amount of heat
- One Surprise Plushie – a blind-bag collectible inspired by CAVA’s pita chip flavors
But don’t sleep on it—this special offering is only available in-restaurant and is limited to one meal per guest, while supplies last.
CAVA Hot Harissa Meal: Meet the Plush Pita Crew

In collaboration with NYC-based creator Thaddeus W. Coates (aka Hippy Potter), a former CAVA team member, this plushie collection is bursting with personality. Here’s a peek at the flavor-forward crew you might meet inside your Hot Harissa Meal:
- Peter Chip – The kind and classic original chip, everyone’s favorite OG.
- Jimmy Harissa – Peter’s fiery best friend, as bold and spicy as they come.
- Garlic Gus – The loud and lovable uncle with a savory twist.
- Sweet Sammy – Peter’s sugar-dusted sister, a mysterious plush yet to be fully revealed.
Each plushie is a cuddly homage to a signature pita chip flavor—Original, Garlic Ranch, Hot Harissa, and the still-secret Sweet Sammy, whose flavor will be unveiled later this year. These squishy companions are designed to be clipped to backpacks, shelves, or even your rear-view mirror for a bit of flavor on the go.
Why It’s Worth a Stop Near the Parks
If you’re vacationing in Orlando, odds are your itinerary is packed with roller coasters and character meet-and-greets. But finding a fast, flavorful, and fun meal near Disney World or Universal Orlando that won’t break the bank (or your taste buds) can be tricky. CAVA offers a welcome break from typical theme park fare, and with this plushie promotion, it becomes a destination in its own right—especially for families with young collectors or Instagram-loving foodies.
