So bad. Its disgusting fast food with prices of local healthy food. The website makes it seem like it's not a fast food restaurant but it is. The sauce tastes like puke. The ingredients weren't fresh and my avocado was hard. If you have taste buds don't come here read more

The price was average but the food pleeeze was I eating blue mountain dog food. This stuff taste like puke. Sorry never eating there again

I'm not a vegan but had a decent meal here. Had a North African soup and a side salad and it was good. Pretty clean and the service was OK. I probably won't be back because it isn't my style of food. Just a little too healthy and not a fan of chain restaurants in general. LOL read more

Great healthy food that always tastes fresh ! Fast and friendly service in a clean establishment.

Cafe Yuck!!!! I can't comprehend that a restaurant like this is surviving and branching out, especially in foodie nation NW!!!! The yumm sauce is this tangy strange sauce that has vomitous flavor notes. The chicken has the texture of chicken that is processed and formed into a piece of chicken, so strange. The meat has grill marks that are (GASP) brown food dye? Not even actual real grill marks people! As I was waiting for my order to be corrected, I looked through the pass through to see the 2 "cooks" taking turns at the microwave "cooking" and preparing the food, actually standing in line behind each other waiting patiently to use the microwave. Ugh, hurts my soul that people are spending their hard earned money here thinking it's great food. ): read more

My colleagues and I were on the prowl for something filling yet relatively healthy. One of them recommended we try "cafe yumm!" And I must say it was a nice healthy alternative. Now, it is not a cheap lunch. I would say on par with Freshii which isn't far from this places location. I ordered their jazzy yum wrap. I was impressed with how full they make the the wrap. On the downside however, the fullness of the wrap also makes it almost impossible to eat without a fork. They don't actually "wrap" the wrap... Rather turn it into a cone that holds all the goodies. I was happy with the chicken and the beans and jasmine rice. The one thing I was a little disappointed with was the amount of sauce they dump into these bowls. I actually would expect the opposite given what they are typically known for. It turns what could be a relatively light lunch into something a bit too heavy. None the less, lesson learned. Next time I will ask them to go easy on the sauce! read more

Cafe Yumm! - Mill Plain Crossing - Jazzy bowl wrap - Wraps Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Okay, so backstory: I used to be OBSESSED with Whole Bowl, a restaurant in SE Portland. But once I moved out of SE, it just got harder and harder to make it over there. I searched and searched for something to replace the Whole Bowl, but I just couldn't find it. I eventually gave up and went through the grieving process. FAST FORWARD TO NOW--Cafe Yumm! is the beautiful and synchronized counterpart to Whole Bowl. Their food is good quality, organic, and you can easily pronounce every single ingredient in all of the dishes. I got the Original, which--wait for it--TASTES LIKE WHOLE BOWL. The unique sauce, the sprinkle of cilantro, the perfectly cooked beans--it all brought me back to living back in SE. Here's the thing: Portland is getting more and more expensive to live in, and people like me are having a harder and harder time having access to the foods we love. But Cafe Yumm! has taught me a valuable lesson--good quality, organic food is not exclusive to Portland! We just gotta find it, y'all! So, to all my fellow quality food lovers: what are you waiting for? Get to Cafe Yumm! and see what I mean. read more

Ok the flavors were good. my first problem is i did not know it was primarily vegetarian. so when i ordered i was like " where is the meat" i should have looked at the menu better. this place reminds me a lot of mighty bowl in downtown Vancouver. i was not disappointed and maybe not a first choice, I would tag along with work friends if they were going there. read more

I'm giving this location a 1 not because of the food! The food is great...when its open. I don't know why but this specific location always seems to be closed for some new problem! It's so frustrating. The next closest location from my house is 45min away. I eat at cafe yumm 2-3 days a week but rarely get to eat at this one because it's closed so frequently. I'm not sure if same people own both millplain stores if not you should get in touch with the other. They may be able to offer some advice. read more

Great place if you're looking for an overpriced bowl of white rice with little toppings. What a rip off!!!

It was the best meal I have ever had, I'm a huge avacado lover and they put avacados in almost everything and it definitely made my day!

Only this place on 192nd I recommend not to go there. Because I always ordered original bowl. But this place I feel disappointed because I'm being charged $14 for medium bowl with chicken and small rootbeer. The bowl was like 3/4 brown rice, few chicken, 2 small slices of avocado, little black olives and lots of chopped tomatoes with 1/4 of watery flavor and maybe a pinch of yumm sauce! WTH! The whole flavor tastes like water. Very humiliating! read more

We had a very bad experience. Ordered 2 Southwest Chicken Wraps in a flour wrap. Got a Tofu whole wheat wrap that was dried out. It was inedible. I would have taken it back but we took it to go and had a tired baby with us. We will never go back! read more

They took fifteen minutes in a drive thru , charged me eleven dollars for a small side looking bowl but it was a medium size and it was cold and also gave me a small soda instead of a large. read more

Location use to be great but changes in last few months have negatively affected the quality. From the service level to quality of food; just not as good anymore. Also took some of the best menu items away. read more

Totally bummed! I came here for the first time ever a couple of months ago. It was great! I got the spicy jazzy bowl with tofu, no s/c. I came again a couple of weeks ago and ordered the same thing. I got it to go because I had to get back to work. A guy ran my bowl out, and off I went. Got to work - totally the wrong order. I'm sure someone got mine, and I got theirs. So I called the restaurant, and the person I spoke with, apologized, and assured that next time I come in, I'd get a bowl at no charge. She took down my name and number. This Saturday, I went right at 11am, to finally get my Cafe Yumm fix. The gal as the register was really nice, when I explained, and she went to grab the manager. The manager gave me a hard time about it, and seemed inconvenienced that he had to "look for my name" in some binder. He asked what bowl I wanted, and then said, "Well, we'll just charge you for a small bowl and give you a large bowl" This was annoying as he just took off to the kitchen to make it, without having asked any of the questions (I wanted tofu, no s/c). $8 bucks later.... He ran my bowl out in less than a couple of minutes, and I heard him bragging to this staff about how fast he was. By the way, I was literally the only customer there. Kind of over it at this point. read more

This restaurant is such a good choice for a healthy delicious meal. The workers were so sweet and friendly as well. I got the turkey reuban, which was full of good incrediants, and smothered in special Yumm sauce. The fresh tortilla chips on the side were tasty and the pickle slice complimented my sandwich perfectly. Will define try try a Yumm bowl next time, they looked so good. read more

Friendly staff, very clean and the food options are great. Good execution of the bowls. Finally healthy fast food that actually tastes good. The cafe I visited even had a drive thru. read more

I'm not a vegetarian but when I come here I choose those options. I also always add yum sauce to my order or ask for a bit extra if it already comes on it. The food is great no matter what you order. My husband loves the bowls and all of the different options you can choose with them. My favorite so far is the Nori Wrap I think its called. Jasmine rice and edamame goes great with the nori although it is a bit messy to eat. I think maybe if they added the nori in strips or put the wrap together before it was brought it out would make eating it a bit easier. Next choice is going to be the veggie ruben sandwich for me. read more

Overpriced, not much food for the money...chicken (like 1/3 of a breast) was bland and tasteless, 3/4 of the takeout bowl was filled with rice...the rest was three slices of avocado, a few olives, a teaspoon of diced tomato and a little sour cream...for $9? I've had better at multiple food carts in Portland for less money. Not recommended. read more

Cafe MEH! I was excited to try this place out so I finally had time off and took the plunge. Right when I walked in I was hit by an odd smell, it was strangely reminiscent of a shoe store. Anyway, I thought it might have something to do with that new business smell. I don't know. I ordered the salmon burger. It was about $8 so I was expecting something bad ass. What I got though was a major disappointment. The burger was so thin, I mean this is something I could throw together at home at the end of the month. The cashier was new so I expected him to mess up on some of the stuff like courtesy. I went back and asked him if I could have some mustard and he went back to ask his manager what he should do. No big deal, maybe there's some kind of company policy that restricts the condiments to only Tapatío and ketchup. I asked if I could just have a larger container than the one that came with the burger or if not then could he just squirt some on my plate. He looked at me queerly and then the manager leaned over from the kitchen partition and gave me a "WTF?" look as well. The only thing I could think of doing was smile. The cashier brought me over another little container just like the one I was already not satisfied with. I thought, "OK. Maybe this will do, I guess". I left this place feeling ripped off, I'm not going to make this mistake again. read more

Went there with my dad, had a large Jazzy bowl with grilled chicken(no grill marks though) dad had the medium smokey bowl with southwest chicken. Good taste. But, I don't understand how I got less chicken and less sauce when I got a LARGE and my dad got a medium. Other than that it was pretty good. But if you can't portion the primary ingredient of the dish to the cost of what you're paying, then you're asking for people not to come back and shouldn't be in the restaurant business. read more

Wow! This is hands down amazing! Super fresh and loaded with flavor!! I can't believe I haven't been to this little slice of heaven before. As a vegetarian, this place has so much to offer! The yumm sauce is mouth watering! You get full but don't feel awful afterwards! I plan on being a repeat customer and then some! read more

I was so looking forward to a place that offered a gluten free menu with a bit of flavor...we've given this place 3 tries and have to say... 1) If the manager is in-house, you'll likely have a better experience. 2) If not, cashiers take your order & speak quickly and are not helpful, unless you want a "sample"...then, I guess you'll be happy. 3) On all 3 visits, there was an error in our order. Once, I ordered a medium, received a large. Once, we asked for soup add-on, didn't get it because it wasn't listed on the receipt...and so on. 4) The clean up is very iffy. And, if you watch them, they simply "sweep" the crumbs to the floor & walk away. Yuck & they have CARPETS! Dear Manager: Please start watching what is going on! Please know that things are not right & could be sooooo good...if you fix the things that are soooooo wrong. Or, bye-bye! read more

During the first month after this franchise opened the food was awesome and the staff was great. But last week I ordered take-out for 3, and what we were given was not at all what we had come to expect. The bowls were missing olives, cilantro, and salsa, and the small bit of sauce was a thick glue stuck to the bottom. They consisted of avocado (an uncut half on top), unseasoned black beans and rice, and glue sauce. I don't even know what was in the chicken wrap, as the filling was so tiny it wasn't visible, and my friend who ate it complained that it was dry and hard (he broke the plastic knife trying to cut through it). All this for just under $25. I filled out a comment card last week but haven't heard back from the manager. Summary: uneven quality, unresponsive manager. This cafe started out great but fell apart fast. I won't be back. read more

How hard is it to follow instructions? I ordered a bowl. I got a bowl with so much sauce it's basically soup. I drove 25 minutes across town... each direction. That's basically an hour on the road for a friggin bowl of soup that I didn't ask for or want. At least they remembered to put the chicken in it and it tastes great. read more

I love this place. I work next door and I can always coins on them for a good quick lunch. I like all the options and no one gets annoyed with my kind of picky order- and they've also never messed it up! We've had them "to-go" for lunch meetings before and they didn't disappoint there either. I recommend! read more

Clean, nice bathroom, efficient and friendly staff....and they serve beer....but they lost me with the food. The rice was delicious, but the rest left me craving something with a little more something. Just can't say what was missing. Portion size small and healthy. I'd certainly be healthier if I only ate here. Just didn't care for the food. Personal preference. read more

One of my favorite foods. I am addicted to the Yumm sauce. The large bottle is about the price of 2 yumm bowls. their soups are fantastic as well. Tonight I need to head out and grab a new bottle of sauce. My beans and rice are sad without it read more

Amazing food! So many vegan options and the yumm sauce is so so good, I could eat it plain! Awesome staff, they're all so personable and nice! Only thing I'd com0laon about are the hours, they close pretty early. In the 8pm to 9pm range depending on the day. As a night owl it's a total bummer when I get a craving for a tempeh Ruben and they're closed! read more

Salmon burger left me wanting a different meal. It was burnt and they tried to hide it on the bottom. Teriyaki chicken bento just okay. Nothing special about any of it and there are better places I the area. read more

75 cents for a tiny little cup of sauce? The food is already WAY over priced. I'm not a fan and only go because my wife likes it.

I ordered Santa fe chicken on my bowl ($2.00). It was so dry I felt like I was eating jerky. Not worth adding onto your bowl

Love the bowls. Good, healthy food at a decent price. We have been there several times & will return!

Horrible slow service, 10 mins for a Dr Pepper for my kid and 30 mins for the food. Asked for yumm sauce for the salmon burger which came out with none. Over cooked and really just not tasty. They say the salmon is from the northwest but it totally looks and tastes like farmed Atlantic salmon. Water was plentiful and pretty tasty but no ice. I can't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I have never experienced worse customer service than we did at this location. It was dinner hour on a holiday and you could tell the employees didn't want to be working and did everything they could to make the experience as uncomfortable as possible and the food as bad as they could. The moment that made us leave without even finishing our meal was one employee slopping a mop bucket right next to our table. Will never return to this location again. read more

Good main dishes. The teriyaki tofu is satisfying for both meat and gf, vegan diets. Very 'meaty!' Their whole plates (salads, bento boxes) are bland, though. But the main part of the dishes are good. read more

It's an okay place, if not a bit expensive. I'm not personally vegetarian, but I was with a group and they wanted to eat there, so I gave it a go. I ordered the salmon burger, and it wasn't too bad. The portion was rather small, but the chips that came with it were fantastic. However, the burger itself was rather flavorless, and I've had better. If you've got money to shell out, sure, come here. But I don't think I'd spend my own money on the food. read more

Delicious! Yet to be dissapointed here. The Tempeh is so moist and pure. I've never been so satisfied with any soy based product ever.

Amazing soup and sandwich! I always enjoy the yummy food at all locations I've eaten at!
