Two new businesses are coming to Montgomery this fall: CAVA and Crumbl Cookies. Learn more here.

What we know

The new businesses will be located in Montgomery’s Zelda Place shopping center and it will be the first location in Montgomery for both of them. Crumbl Cookies already has locations in Vestavia Hills, Huntsville, Madison and Auburn, while CAVA has a location in Madison in the works. They have become known for their rotating weekly flavors and open kitchen, which allows customers to observe the cookies being made.

Cava Mediterranean will replace Zoe’s Kitchen and is bringing fresh (literally, fresh) energy by letting their customers build their own Mediterranean-inspired bowls.

“We are thrilled to partner with CAVA and Crumbl on their openings in the Montgomery market. These are truly two of the country’s premier concepts and we are delighted they have chosen Montgomery and Zelda Place as their newest locations.”
–Gary Jones, Senior Leasing Representative, Aronov Realty

Our favorite Crumbl flavors this week include:

Milk Chocolate Chip
Chocolate Crumb with Oreo
Maple Glaze

These favorites at CAVA certainly caught our eye:

Roasted red pepper hummus with pita
Spicy lamb meatballs
Tomato + cucumber salad

Fun fact: all of these items at CAVA can be ordered as a side or you can add them to your bowl!

Crumbl in Birmingham

Crumbl Cookies opened its first location in Birmingham in 2021 at the Vestavia City Center. In addition to their cookies, they also have Crumbl Cream, which is ice cream based on their delicious cookie flavors.
