Always Yuka.
Always Kris.

Cassava has lived several chapters.
The two people behind it have remained.

Yuka Ioroi and Kristoffer Toliao founded Cassava in San Francisco in 2012. Through changing spaces and new ways of working, Cassava has remained independently owned and personally led.

​

Today, it is a café, catering and executive hospitality, private dinners, events and collaborations. The form keeps evolving. Yuka and Kris are still here, doing the work.

​
