In 2022, Zoe noticed a lack of access to healthy organic vegan allergy friendly whole foods in her neighbourhood in Seattle. Being a vegan with food allergies made it additionally difficult to access foods that were not only nourishing to the body, but also affordable. In 2023, Yaygit opened its doors to the public, intentioned with customer focused service, listening to those who needed support, and making sure they were heard and seen. We curated a menu that focused on gender health and wellness, whiles also considering those with comorbidities, and saw the building of our much loved community, and our brand.

Our mission is to create healthy plant-based 100% vegan foods with high quality organic ingredients that are worth you. We value people, and we want them to feel good with their food, feel more empowered in how they care for their wellness, and change the way they see food; not as good or bad, but rather as support, replenishment, and medicine. We are what our gut eats, so we make it good. 

Yaygit was founded in 2023 in Ballard, Seattle. We opened our first brick and motar cafe serving vegan, allergy friendly meals, smoothies, and backed goods.

Yaygit is a health centered committed brand that is also 100 percent organic.  We work with suppliers in sourcing ingredients that are fair trade, and engage with fair labour labor practices. We are transparent in listing our ingredients and ensure we maintain our organic certification and that everyone we work with in production and sourcing of materials are also certified organic. 

If there is one thing that says Yaygit, it’s our creativity, from creating new recipes that are not just beautiful in taste, but vibrant in flavor and colours. We are poetic and share poems to read as our customers eat. We love coming up with names for our butters and fantastic pons on words for our smoothies and Juices in our brick and mortar cafe. When it comes to imagery, we let our products do the work. If we could choose two words that says Yaygit, it’s vibrant and quirky.
