Cassava San Francisco

The Best New Restaurants in San Francisco, July 2025 | Eater SF

"Cassava has gone back to its cafe roots after closing down its North Beach location in November, reopening in a beautiful courtyard in the Jackson Square neighborhood. There are plenty of grab-and-go options, such as the konbini-style egg salad sandwiches on fluffy Japanese milk bread. The shop also offers salads, soups, pastries, coffee, and tea, but one unique dish worth seeking out is the onigirazu, similar to seaweed-wrapped onigiri, but served open. Cassava offers two versions, one with a slice of Spam made in-house, and the other a vegan version with a tofu-chickpea loaf slice inside. Online ordering is available." - Paolo Bicchieri
