Delicious and great value !

I’ve been here a couple of times and the food is fresh, tasty and generous !
Toasties are a must try - all good but my fave is the tofu pesto one.
Cabinet sweets are also delicious.
Highly recommend for vegans in the area !

Great coffee and good food

Had a coffee, the vegan tuna toastie, and rocky road slice. All were excellent! Will be back for sure.

The positive reviews convinced me but I thought the food was awful

Me and my partner visited maybe a month ago, we didn’t know what was around after an appointment and this came up as highly praised on happy cow. There wasn’t a lot in the cabinet fridge at the time but we both ended up with the vegan chicken schnitzel sandwich, toasted. After googling I can see some version of sandwich posted on google photos that wasn’t what we got at all. The schnitzel was as thin as lettuce, incredibly dry. A weird pickle sauce. The lettuce was stacked up on this sandwich, I’ve never seen so much lettuce on such thin crappy bread. The kind of bread that disintegrates. the schnitzel was completely dry. Not worth the high price at all! If I was paying $5-7 for a sandwich then I’d understand. I also ordered a smoothie one with pineapple in it and it was pretty tasteless. The little potato chips were almost stale. My partner was pretty upset as we sat there trying to finish our food, because we don’t have a lot of money to be able to go out often, and we felt like we really wasted 40 odd dollars. Was just awful experience. I wish they used a thicker quality bread so it wouldn’t turn into sludge while you eat it. I don’t know if this day was just they were out of the bread I can see in the pictures?? I felt the unhappiest here out of all places I’ve visited as a vegan since I moved to Melbourne. I rather go to Raw Galore.

Lovely little cafe

Very cute cafe in South Yarra with plenty of yummy options. Perhaps a little expensive for what you’re getting but no more so than any other cafe in the area. Great spot for brekkie or lunch!

Pros: Good selection, Friendly staff

A great little cafe 🌱

Head to Jumi’s for lunch or breakfast, it will be well worth the visit. I had the Reuben sandwich, the flavours were really nice, the pastrami was almost too good. Had me thinking am I in a plant based cafe? The Up Beet juice and coffee were nice too. A lovely Chapel St lunch on a sunny day.

Back for the Philly Cheesesteak toastie, yum 😋

Updated from previous review on 2024-10-26

Pros: 100% vegan , Reuben sandwich, a great lunch , Has a few gluten free options available

Cons: I haven’t tried their breakfast options yet

Pretty expensive

The prices here are a little too expensive for what you're getting.
Th Philly cheesesteak at $19.00 is expensive especially as it's just a toastie with fable meat, cheese, and a sweet/salty sauce. It's nothing at all like what I was expecting (no capsicum etc) and doesn't compare at all to the amazing Philly cheesesteak they used to have at Smith&Deli.
I had the Rueben toastie ages ago and while it had great cheese, it's not as good as S&D used to do.
The girl behind the counter was really friendly, but because she was busy she got a very seemingly annoyed/unhappy looking/Gen Z staring guy to serve and bring out the food when it was ready.
If I'm in the area I wouldn't mind trying the curried egg sandwich, and maybe the bacon and egg muffin, but S&D does one significantly cheaper and I would presume tastier.

Cute little cafe, lots of options

Cafe offering sandwiches, toasties, smoothies, acai bowls and bliss balls. Other cold drinks such as kombucha.

Not a lot of space to eat inside, there are only a few tables inside and out the front. Does takeaway food though and is perfect to take and eat at a park nearby.

A small cafe worth a visit

A small cafe with a small number of tables inside & out. I had the Protein Oats with a soy hot chocolate. Perhaps too much peanut butter over the porridge for me but still good. Seemed to affect the flavour of the hot chocolate but still ok. Bowl & cup made from recycled cardboard so ✅ for environment efforts.

Pros: Fully vegan cafe, Great service

Nice nourish bowls and toasties!

We came here for lunch and I had the tempeh nourish bowl and we shared a berry smoothie. There was a bit of mint in the smoothie and it was refreshing. The bowl was nice and fresh. I really liked the flavour of the tempeh and the sauce.
The staff were lovely. There were tables inside and outside.

Delicious toastie

I had the best toastie. So scrumptious. The mushroom truffle toastie is so good. Every mouthful is a pleasure. A little expensive at $17 but worth it.

Great little place

Not a lot of seating but it seems to be more a take away type place. Had a BLAT and an oat hot chocolate both of which were tasty and good value. Staff were also super friendly.

Yum

Was here two times now and always great! Highly recommend their in store made nut butter (Rocher is amazing: hazelnut chocolate spread!)!
Açaí is very creamy - fyi no soft serve.
Everything is fresh and juices also nice
Coffee is great! Loved the hot soy latte!
Amazing service - so friendly
Some seats inside (tables and high stool at window) and outside close to street.
Lovely and love that they’re 100% plant-based! They have Açaí 50% off on Tuesday and Thursday after 2 and also some breakfast combos and juice promos

Perfection🤍

Have tried The Reuben, Tuna Melt and a few smoothies and really enjoyed it. Thank you so much Team Jumi's🤍

The reason why I chose to visit Jumi's Cafe:
- Word of mouth. Got recommended from a vegan friend and will continue to go here because the staff and owner are among the friendliest and loveliest and the food never disappoints.
