ABOUT US

We’re Kris and Yuka, the husband-and-wife team behind Cassava. We first opened in 2012 as a neighborhood restaurant on Balboa St in the Outer Richmond, and after more than a decade — and a few big changes — we’ve started fresh in Jackson Square.

​

Today, Cassava is a courtyard kiosk cafe serving Japanese sandos, bentos, matcha, and coffee, along with corporate catering for downtown teams. Our mission has always been the same: to serve good food with local ingredients with warm hospitality, while running a transparent business that values equity, dignity, and hopitality.
