Chef Kris Toliao brings a little slice of Japan to this cute Outer Richmond café. His Japanese breakfast is a collection of small, savory plates that you can mix (or not mix) however you’d like. Read more

More cafe than bakery, Cassava serves Asian-inspired bites. The Japanese breakfast (weekends only) includes miso soup, wakame salad, a poached egg in dashi broth and more. Read more

Delicately 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.

Great 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!

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

Try 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

Best 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.

While 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. Read more

Open for lunch during the week which is nice - has the roasted veggie bowl with an egg.

Highly recommend the prix fixe for dinner, great value. Standouts were the steelhead cod and blood orange panna cotta.

Brunch Heaven! Beautiful food. I eat slowly there to admire the great produce they have. Ritual coffee! And wonderful hospitality! Make reservations

$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!

Amazing food and owners. I absolutely recommend it. ❤️

Onw of my faves in the city, especially for brunch. I am addicted to their japanese breakfast. So flavorful yet such clean food.

Duck salad was good. The duck was amazing!

Really good food and service. I'm not a big fan of fish in general but still found the trout main to be amazing.

Owners Kristoffer and Yuka have received tremendous praise for their quiche at their quaint Outer Richmond outpost, but the breakfast sandwich is a surefire winner as well. Read more

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.

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.

Charming place for breakfast or dinner. They people that work there are just so pleasant. I love it here.

Great 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, 2015
Fantastic food, friendly service, really cute place. Great place for a fancy night out or a nice date.

We're loving the bourbon vanilla honey mocha, but we hear the honey spiced latte is to die for.
