Cody HardApril 13, 2016Great for brunch and dinner. Leige waffle & croque madame were both great in the morning. Got a roasted half chicken for dinner that was awesome. My girlfriend's baked char was tasty too. A+ service!
Megan AllisonMarch 13, 2017Delicately crafted Japanese fusion; everything is amazing. Brunch al fresco, w/ curry meatballs, burrata + egg and kale, or a traditional Japanese breakfast. Delicious coffee & cocktails too.
BommyNovember 23, 2014Best liege waffles in the city. Tasty brunch menu so if you find yourself in the outer richmond, eat here. Nothing too special to go out of your way for but they do take brunch reservations.
Came here for dinner again after expansion and food remains just as great! Fave entrees: roasted ckn (so moist & big portion) and porchetta! Panna cotta was light and yummy! Service awesome as always
Tasting TableSeptember 19, 2014Try the Japanese Breakfast- bowl filled with sticky sushi rice and seared albacore, seasoned with house-made miso and finished with fresh pickles, albacore tataki, & a runny soft-poached egg. Read more- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014While the Japanese breakfast isn’t a breakfast for someone who usually likes, say, pancakes, I found it to be elegant and a nice break from the usual lineup.

Ashley RoseApril 14, 2018Open for lunch during the week which is nice - has the roasted veggie bowl with an egg.
Gavin SchulzApril 1, 2018Highly recommend the prix fixe for dinner, great value. Standouts were the steelhead cod and blood orange panna cotta.- Tasting TableOctober 17, 2014Try the Japanese Breakfast at Cassava. Your views on breakfast foods will never be the same after this gorgeous bowl filled with sticky sushi rice and seared albacore, and a runny soft-poached egg. Read more
Artemis LunaFebruary 12, 2017Pomegranate glazed pok ribs are my go to here... But everything I've tried is good.
Spencer HoltawaySeptember 5, 2014$3.75 mint tea?! Actually it's delicious and worth it. Steeped with honey and rose water. Sounds weird but worth a try, trust me!
- Cassava did it again with new brunch menu item- duck confit salad. It was tender, tasty, and delightful!
Brunch Heaven! Beautiful food. I eat slowly there to admire the great produce they have. Ritual coffee! And wonderful hospitality! Make reservations
EriC B.March 13, 2015Food is so unique...you can tell a lot of thought went into planning the food and ambience in this restaurant. What a treat to have this place so close to home.
Reopened as of 7/3. Just as good, only larger. Start with the shrimp & avocado sandwich and end with a Green tea & Yuzu macaroon, if you please.
Kiana LynnNovember 7, 2014Scallops seared perfectly and paired with a farro "risotto", butternut squash and brussel sprouts
I can't go more than a fortnight without the Meatballs. Also, if you haven't added the Friday night Pop-up dinners to your bucket list, well then you know what has to be done.- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014Lunchtime brings a variety of sandwiches and soups, but the dish you’ll want to strongly consider is the meatballs in curry ($10).

Rebecca ChiuJuly 4, 2014Onw of my faves in the city, especially for brunch. I am addicted to their japanese breakfast. So flavorful yet such clean food.
The Bourbon Vanilla Mocha is the real MVP. Oh so delicioso #caffeinefiend #coffee
Charming place for breakfast or dinner. They people that work there are just so pleasant. I love it here.
Brendan CurranJanuary 6, 2019Great choice for brunch. The pork shoulder open faced sandwich is a great choice if you don’t mind a fattier cut of pig.
Daniel PlemmonsMarch 30, 2015Fantastic food, friendly service, really cute place. Great place for a fancy night out or a nice date.
Abhinav GargAugust 26, 2016Really good food and service. I'm not a big fan of fish in general but still found the trout main to be amazing.
Jessica ChoiFebruary 12, 2015Cute little spot bringing great food to the neighborhood. No exhaust hood, can be a little smokey.
super cute cafe that serves ritual roasters coffee & semifreddi baked goods & breads & delicious house-made peanut butter cornflake cookies!
The Bold ItalicSeptember 14, 2012We're loving the bourbon vanilla honey mocha, but we hear the honey spiced latte is to die for.
Everything is good. But it all taste better with the delicious honey spiced latte
- The curried meatballs, quiche, and the grilled ham and cheese with avocado are soooooooo yummy!
- Kiana LynnNovember 7, 2014Breakfast and dinner are equally tasty and satisfying! Dinner very reasonably priced, $14-20
The potato hash bowl has truffle oil with ground beef, arugula, and a poached egg. Heaven!
Been here a coupla times. It has its moments but it ain't all that. Does anyone else have a hard time hearing/understanding the Japanese chick behind the counter?
Jole PDecember 10, 2014The persimmon and duck salad is so good and light. However the Japanese breakfast is NOT as good as it looks:/
Darren WhiteheadApril 7, 2013Great food plain and simple. Get here early, there's very limited seating.
