| - Well, hello there Purple Potato!! I see you.
The owners of Yanaka went and made themselves a fast casual spot, and it's been on my bookmark list for a while. Tucked on the corner of a very active parking lot/shopping center, it's certainly worth finding a parking space. You walk in and are greeted by a very gentle atmosphere. I love the neutral and natural colors of the space. Order at the counter and watch them make your creation.
I added a chicken to my salad, which was juicy and full of flavor. I will say that I didn't eat my whole salad because there was a mix up on my order where they added goat cheese instead of the feta. Sadly, goat is my least favorite flavor on the planet, so I ate what chicken I could and dipped it in the hummus that was on the side. I let the management know, and they offered me a salad on them next time. I will happily enjoy another salad from them, but on my own dime. It's worth it, but I appreciate the gesture.
They had samples out of their porridge, and if you haven't had their purple potato butter, you need to. I want to buy jars of it.
While you're there, splurge and get a cookie. Their pastries are vegan and they all look amazing. I've only tried the ginger cookie, so far, and it was the perfect mix of chewy with a slight crunch on the exterior.
Bravo. I'll be back soon.
