Sassafras offers two dining options: a grab-and-go cafe with baked goods, and a fast-casual counter-serve restaurant serving soup, salad, sandwiches, and burgers. During a visit to the Japanese festival, the cafe had a long line but the restaurant did not. The potato leek soup was flavorful but very salty. The employees were friendly and apologetic for the wait. The atmosphere is cute, making it a recommended choice over festival food vendors.
The brunch offerings include a Belgian waffle with pecans, fresh berries, syrup, and whipped butter, served with a side of fruit. While the pecans in the waffle were hard and hurt the teeth, the overall meal was better than expected. The prices are reasonable, around $10. The garden setting makes it a convenient option without leaving the area. The employees are welcoming and accommodating. The children's Belgian waffle is a satisfying choice for a light meal, accompanied by butter, syrup, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and fresh fruit. The casual dining experience allows for indoor or outdoor seating.
