"Perfect Fast Food"   My Rating

	Review: I love Cafe Yumm. I am vegan/nutritarian - for my health - and it is very difficult for me to eat out - but I can find plenty at Cafe Yumm that fit my needs. My family is not vegan AT ALL!! - Plus they like the SAD very much - so it is difficult for us to go out to eat and agree. But they LOVE Cafe Yumm - My husbands favorite is the Hot and Jazzy Yumm bowl - He has tried the chicken in the past - and would rather eat a Yumm Bowl instead. (He is slowly changing...but will never admit it...) For me - I usually order a Wrapit - Basically I substitute everything - and they are very nice about it - I usually order an original Wrapit W/wheat - Vegan with cabbage and carrots and red and black beans. So good. The Tofu wrap is okay(tofu was a little dry) - and I love the Veggie Burger - get it with Sour Dough for vegans, only wish they served salsa with the chips. I have tried the Hot and Jazzy and the Smoky Chipotle (spelling?)- they are great as well....but still love the Original. In addition, they have an amazing Ginger Cookie that is Vegan, nice to have a really good dessert now and then. I buy there sauce, and make my own at home all the time- I use Quinoa instead of brown rice though. In addition, I buy there Ginger Coleslaw sauce (wish they would bottle it) and make homemade coleslaw whenever I go to a potluck! Everyone LOVES it....It is great to bring a vegan dish that people LOVE....the only problem is there are never leftovers for me to bring home :-D I am not sure of any cons - As I go fairly often, and only have had one time that the beans were not quite cooked, and one time that they hardly had anything but rice and beans in the wrap. I do wish they would consider using Quinoa or a different grain than rice - and the Delta Establishment always seems a little dirty. Oh yeah, and NEVER-EVER-EVER - use the bathroom!!! That is probably my only REAL COMPLAINT!!   Pros: Yummy * Vegan * Friendly Staff Cons: Icky Bathroom * *

"steady option"   My Rating
99 kindlizard	Posted on: Wednesday, October 29, 2008
	Review: Nice to see a vegan-friendly place pooping up as a franchise for a change. These folks are really nice too, I recall them giving up the Yumm in 5th St, so they have stuck w it. They aren't really too meat-based, it seems that they are meat friendly, that is, they come from a veg base and try to accommodate carnies. The beans and rice w its unique sauce has converted many folks to accepting beans and rice as a meal in itself. I know many who love it, and cal;l the Yumm (sauce) crack. It can be addictive. Great as an option on the go. They have a good ginger cookie that is vegan and wheat free. There are several locations, even popping up in Bend and elsewhere. I think there are about 5 or 6 in Eugene Springfield. Good to see. btw, get the regular large yumm, sub more avo for the dairy, and hold the olives and cilantro. superb   Pros: solid beans and rice * good people * expanding Cons: the little bit of meat they sell * *

"Saturday vegan breakfast was amazing"   My Rating
10 suecag	Posted on: Sunday, June 08, 2008
	Review: This restaurant was unexpectedly great. I went to the one at 730 E Broadway on Saturday morning. Turns out they have a special breakfast menu on Saturday and Sunday until 2pm. I had the Deluxe Scramble - scrambled tofu (crumbled and grilled with special seasoning) with original Yumm! sauce, and served with potatoes and toast, $6.75. It is topped with "Deluxe Toppings" which includes diced tomato, avocado slices, cilantro, and olives but you'll need to ask for the "Vegan Deluxe" toppings for them to hold the cheese and sour cream and substitute extra avocado or shredded cabbage and carrots - but wonderfully at no extra charge. The tofu with the Yumm! sauce was fantastic. The Yumm! sauce is nutritional yeast, canola oil, almonds, lemon juce, garbanzo beans, garlic, soybeans, herbs. It is a little tangy but very good. They have numerous yummy sounding meals on their regular menu. Mostly all sorts of rice and bean bowls. I think that the key is having some great sauces and they nailed this. There is a lot of info and a menu available online at http://www.cafeyumm.com. My only gripe is that they didn't have vegan margarine. But they do have Vegenaise (wow!) and they offer jelly. The restaurant was spacious which was refreshing for a super veggie-friendly restaurant in Eugene. Not sure about the other locations.   Pros: lots of vegan options * great sauce * Cons: no vegan margarine * *

"Good but Oily"   My Rating
3 oregonanni e	Posted on: Friday, February 22, 2008
	Review: I ate at the Cafe Yumm off of Delta. The food was very tasty but the Yumm sauce is quite rich and oily. Not exactly health food. It was self service where you line up to order but they bring the food to your table. The service was prompt but impersonal. It's a very modern, busy place. Not much atmosphere. The employees seemed rather rushed, even though it was mid afternoon and past the lunch rush. The floor needed sweeping and in general it could have used a bit of cleaning. Lots there for non-vegans so a good compromise for going out with non-vegetarian friends. Also a good place to go if you want to be left alone with a book while you eat. Lots of parking.   Pros: reasonable price * quick service * easy parking Cons: cold, lack of atmosphere * *

"Delicious food at a vegan-friendly franchise."   My Rating
24 groovyvega n	Posted on: Tuesday, December 18, 2007
	Review: Cafe Yumm, a franchaise established in 1995, is a very vegan-friendly omni restaurant, with plenty of delicious vegan items from which to choose. All items have the ingredients listed on the menu, and they will customize orders (leaving off cheese, sour cream, etc.) I had the ginger-garlic veggie burger which was delicious. To give you and idea of how vegan-friendly they are, the description reads, "Our own veggie burger (unbelievably vegan, contains peanuts), GingerAisian slaw, lettuce and tomato served on a whole wheat bun (w/w bun contains honey, order on sourdough for totally vegan)." And BTW, there's no shortage of vegan condiments to put on the burger--they even offer Vegenaise, and their original Yumm sauce is vegan as well. My omni partner enjoyed his tempeh reuben, which would have been vegan except it had Swiss cheese. Vegan items on the menu include some of the Yumm bowls, various combinations of rice, beans, vegetables, sauces, and other ingredients. Unfortunately, I haven't had one myself yet, but a good friend who is vegan tells me they're quite good. Also one can order tofu or tempeh skewers, vegan salads. Some of the daily selection soups may be began as well. I was surprised to see they offer vegan ginger spice cookies as a regular dessert item. These are made with organic oat flour and are wheat free. I was there at lunch time on a week day, and there were about 6 people ahead of me in line. This place is quite popular with the locals, so be prepared to wait a good 20 minutes or so for your order if you order a sandwich at prime time. The Yumm bowls are a few minutes quicker. My only complaints were minor: that the balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing was quite boring, and the person who took my order neglected to leave off the tomatoes. Next time I'm in Eugene (or Springfield or Bend), I will definitely be eating at Cafe Yumm again!   Pros: Delicious * Vegan-friendly * Cons: Slow at prime time * No vegan cheeses * Closes 5 pm on Sundays

	Review: Excellent spice choices in their dishes, not the usual for rice/bean bowls and wraps. Very good!   Pros: tasty food * good selection * small potions available Cons: not close enough to I-5 * *

One is at the Oakway Center which is off the 105 exit at the Coburg Rd exit off the 105. That plaza is right at that exit which was helpful to us on our recent visit. Hope that helps. Yumm is very addictive.. response by kindlizard - report abuse -
