Confusing and Mediocre - Edit
As a non Oregon native, this restaurant really confused me. I guess I didn't understand the concept of how to order and didn't realize my bowl would come with sour cream and cheese on it. It was a bummer and I had to reorder a new bowl to make sure it was fully vegan. Also I just felt like Cafe Yumm is kinda pricey for what you get. The food was bland and something I could remake at home for much cheaper. It was also like four additional dollars to add like 6 pieces of tofu to my bowl! That's insane....

Check your order thoroughly before you leave! - Edit
As long as you don't make it all the way home to find your tofu wrap is really a chicken wrap, the food is a slightly higher quality fast food. So many times though they have messed up our order. SO,,,MANY,,,TIMES... I realize it's a college town so it may be hard to hire quality employees, but the pattern of getting the wrong food gets old. BUT...if you get the correct meal, it's really quite slightly above average.

Bentos and bowls - Edit
Absolute go to is original Yumm bowl “vegan, sub avocado and tomato, add pepitas”. Tempeh bento also very very good. Veggie burger is vegan and is tasty. Often have 1 or more vegan soup options for the day.

tasty sauce - Edit
I had the yumm and greens plate with a side of bbq tofu. It was nice to have vegan options. make sure you ask for vegan to avoid sourcream and cheese being added. bbq tofu was great. nice texture and flavor. Vegan ginger cookie was moist and delicious.

Not Bad - Edit
I've only been there once and had a bowl with tofu in it. It was surprisingly good. A good alternative for a place to eat. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Delicious!!! - Edit
We don't have Cafe Yumms where I live in VA, but a friend had told me to be on the lookout when visiting Oregon. What a great place! My vegan original bowl was scrumptious and filling. I ordered a medium and it was plenty. My server offered extra avocado since I wasn't getting the dairy - what a rarity! Everything was delicious and I wish we had them back home.

They have a vegan button on the cash register! - Edit
Read moreThis place has many vegan options, and if you want to veganize a menu item, they even have a vegan button on the register to make sure it gets through to the cooks. They are great about subbing avocado for cheese and other such accommodations, with no extra charge. The Yumm sauces we sampled were tasty--the tempeh was sadly a little bland so I might opt for something else on the menu.
This is a local franchise that started in Eugene. I'm looking forward to more locations across Oregon.
Pros: reasonable prices, many vegan options, environmentally friendly
Cons: tempeh a little bland, would like bowl options without rice

Best veggie food in Corvallis - Edit
Cafe Yumm is the best! It's easy to take non-vegetarian people here because they can choose from meat options, but it is also very easy to get vegetarian and vegan choices as well. When a restaurant makes a point of listing what sauces are vegan on their menu I feel like I can trust them to really keep my food vegetarian and meat products away. The food is really unique, based on a standard bean and rice combo, but with a twist of a tahini based sauce thrown in.

Soul-satisfying fast food - Edit
We consult Happy Cow before we travel anywhere! We also tell every establishment we discover through this website how we learned of their existence. Passing through Corvallis for the first time, we elected to visit Cafe Yumm for a nosh. Good choice. One employee, sensing our newbie vibe, gave explanations and suggestions to guide us; I got the sense he enjoys the food himself. My Chilean Zucchini Yumm! Bowl was totally satisfying, with many organic ingredients, including OG brown rice and salsa. Lots of vegetarian options (they do love their local Tillamook cheddar); bowls, wraps, sandwiches, soups, salads--all read delicious. Meat and fish (and lots of dairy) are on the menu, but a person can still specify vegan choices and be very, very happy. The foundation of this restaurant's menu is beans and rice. The founder's philosophy is to promote soul satisfying and deeply nourishing food. A great idea.
