I really wanted to like this place. A friend had recommended it so I finally popped in. I took my bowl to go and by the time I got home 5 minutes later, it was cold. I've had take out from other nearby places that are still warm when I get home so I have to think this didn't start out hot. The brown rice was bland, the chicken was fine and the smoky sauce was okay. I just microwaved it and it all tasted better. The whole dish needed more salt and seasonings to be really good. read more

The manager and her team are awesome. Great customer service and the bowls are worth it.

I enjoy Cafe Yumm for a quick and mostly healthy meal. It's not quite fast food, but it's almost as quick and probably just as fast. This location isn't usually busy. It's easy to use the app to order and then pick up and go. I prefer the Southwest bowls, but they have other themes, or you can build your own. This is an easy place to order from if you have allergies, prefer vegetarianism, or are looking for a heart-healthy meal. Ok, I usually get a cookie, so maybe not THAT heart-healthy. lol read more

I've been coming here for almost two years and that's the only location I really prefer. I don't know what so special they do but other locations don't taste that good as this one. read more

Manager went above and beyond to accommodate to my gluten allergy and was extremely understanding and nice. Food was also amazing and exactly what she recommended and i asked for. read more

There's plenty of parking since this is in a shopping center. They are still enforcing sobmcial distancing, so the capacity is limited. They have a pretty big menu. We ordered the Original Bowl with teriyaki chicken. The medium size was plenty for me, and the large size was enough for leftovers. The Yumm sauce might not be for everyone. It had a bit of a sour taste to me but was still pretty good. The service was great. The cashier was very friendly and offered some good suggestions. read more

I always order pick up during lunch time. The process to order online is straight forward and fast. Pick up allows me to enjoy my lunch and not have to wait in long lines. Food has always been great I order a hot and jazzy bowl. read more

The food here is pretty spendy, but it is super tasty and doesn't make you feel crummy afterwards. I've had nothing but good service here, the employees are always helpful and friendly. read more

Perfect place to stop for a quick lunch during a workshop. Service was fast and friendly. I had the Hot n Jazzy Salad and added southwest chicken (the Hot n Jazzy is a little spicy but not too bad!)! Will return when I'm in the area! read more

So sad to be so very disappointed by this place. They are truly doing a disservice to healthier options by gouging people with their prices (To say nothing of the poor quality food itself). Their portions are outrageously small, you actually won't believe how ridiculously off your most basic expectation they are. The prices are already high for their bowls and that doesn't include any main/protein. I was just truly appalled by how much of a miss this was on every front. My bowl was about $14 with tax, my wife's around $11, and both had the equivalent of MAYBE a single dollar in raw ingredients in it (saying that with some qualification after spending a decade in food service myself). If all that wasn't bad enough, the food itself was just completely low effort and bland (healthy food DOES NOT have to be bland). I do not understand the type of person that would subject themselves to this on a regular basis? You have to have WAY too much money and just outright hate food to suffer through this often, to willingly eat here beyond your first disappointing visit. Without hyperbole, City councils literally need to introduce zoning regulations to ban yumm cafes, by name, from their communities. It makes happy people sad and the cost is exploitative nonsense. It's just plain and simple a disgrace to prepared food. Guy at the cash register was friendly and knowledgeable, but not friendly or knowledgeable enough to warn us I guess. read more

I have ordered delivery from this location several times and I work for a business that has partnered with Cafe Yumm for events in the past. That is why I'm really disappointed that they have messed up 3 delivery orders I have made now. The last one left me with no lunch at lunchtime and no way to get ahold of the restaurant (the main line keep saying they were busy). I refunded my order through the Grubhub app. I will no longer be giving my business to Cafe Yumm because I simply don't have time at work to correct online order mistakes. I even changed apps thinking that would make a difference but apparently it is a problem with this location. I realize they are high volume, but 3 strikes and you're out. read more

I really wanted to like this place since I see them everywhere. I was sorely disappointed. Service is horrendous. I walked in to an empty restaurant on a Sunday at noon. Ordered. Two groups walked in after me. Both were served before me. I had to ask about my order...which got put in the wrong place?! How?? I waited another 5 min and then was handed a bowl, a napkin, and a fork. No bag for my to go order. Why did the guy before me get one? Drove home (around the corner, maybe 5 min) and my food was cold. It tasted ok but I wasn't wowed. It's a pretty basic rice bowl. read more

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

I hate to be giving this place a one star as I actually enjoy the food here, but this review is specifically for the location on 192nd Ave in Vancouver. I normally do not like to write negative reviews without writing directly to the company, but I now have done that for the same issue before, and now I feel that this is a continuing problem that needs to be shared not only with the company, but with the public. I love eating at Cafe Yumm, but this location has disappointed time and again. My favorite meal from Cafe Yumm is the original Yumm Bowl, and I always add the seasoned tofu on top. The issue with this location is that they clearly do not know how to cook tofu. The last few time I've ordered the tofu I have had it so badly burnt to the point of being inedible. (Photo included) My extreme disappointment with this location comes from the fact that I have made a point of letting the company know that they were serving burned food, but to now see they decided to not fix the issue long term is enough to warrant that they receive a review that publicly states that they clearly do not put customers first! Again I'd like to say this is simply an issue I've come across many times at this one location ONLY, and by no means is a representation of all Cafe Yumm locations. read more

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

Ordered bento teriyaki chicken. I wanted half rice and half slaw. This is what I got. A box full of rice, a couple measly pieces of very salty (inedible) chicken, and the slaw.... How could the person preparing this say, "Yeah, I'd pay 13$ for that. This looks like a 'bento box'." Get a grip. This is a shame. read more

I love this cafe yumm!! Delicious every time. Great service. Elma is the best. I appreciate how clean the place is as well. Well run business altogether! read more

I eat here more than I care to admit. I work close by and whenever the "what's for lunch" question can't be answered by somewhere new cafe yum is my fall back. I used to get their bowls but the "yum & greens" gets you all the same goodness on a bed of mixed greens. I thought rice on salad sounded weird but I was so wrong. I usually order the jazzy bowl with no tomatoes and add seasoned tofu. The tofu is a conversation all on its own. I cannot express the perfection of their tofu mix in some yum sauce & wow. The downside is I usually end up spending about $15 before tip. I still do it regularly but the reality is I could make the same thing at home for quite a bit cheaper. Because they now sell their yum sauce in a liter bottle I actually do make bowls at home & they are also delicious. Now if only I could perfect that tofu. I will continue to frequent Cafe Yum but I love having the option to use their Yum sauce at home (try the roasted garlic). read more

So my only rating at this point is every single time, and this is a weekly occurrence since me and my co-workers order from here every week in a group order, our order is messed up. Every.Single.Time. Usually its a missing item, there is always 2 cookies in the order and we only get one. Or one of the custom items will be messed up. I can understand this happening 1 or 2 times but this is every single week. And it doesn't really matter if we call and complain or have something comp'd from the ticket. I guess we could stop ordering from this location but the food is something we have come to look forward to each week as an office but the consistency of the order being correct is now a running joke that SOMETHING is going to end up messed up. read more

Got a bento box and a classic yum bowl....maybe it's just me but that special sauce was disgusting. Figured I at least had the bento but the chicken felt like it was microwaved, very fatty, and lacking flavor. First and last time for me. read more

Love the vegetarian/vegan options here, but I wish the portion sizes were much larger for the prices that they charge you. While the restaurants themselves always tend to be empty and pretty bare bones, the food is healthy and has always tasted great when I go. I guess if you have the time to make these basic bowls, I suggest buying their sauce for home! Probably way cheaper and you get to customize however you want. read more

Always one of my faves: jazzy bowl! I could even make it at home so easily! Try those BBQ tofu on the sticks. They're pretty amazing! I don't know how they do it, but sure enough the texture is just right! read more

Walking in you can see it's going to be good! Clean open seating, helpful staff willing to explain the menu. Service was fast and and very tasty! read more

I usually like what I get here (Southwest wrap) and the few times I've been I've had an average experience, the people are nice but this was rough. They tend to take longer than they should with the amount of people that typically pass through there (not many whenever I've been). But they really threw this together this time. Usually the contents are in the tortilla and warm and fuller. :/ bad night maybe but at least make sure things are to standard. I'd rather that and wait longer than have it quick and thrown together. Didn't end up eating it because I felt sketch about it. read more

Not bad but outrageous prices. $12 for a cup of mainly rice with a few beans and minimal other garnishments .

At first I wasn't sure about this place but when I got the Hot N Jazzy with chicken it was good lol I have some to my husband and he ate there for two weeks straight that's how much he loved it read more

Really tasty and healthy with organic products. I would order again. Also the deliveries are fast. read more

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

I eat here a lot and when I first started coming the bowls were being stuffed full to the brim, but now they are being filled less than half - they've literally reduced their portion sizes to half of what they used to give!! Customer service has also declined and the worst experience I have ever had occurred today: I called in to get a pick up order and was placed on hold immediately. During that time I drove to the location, which was hardly busy, and showed the employee my phone still holding on the line, now for a little over 12 minutes - she was less than apologetic and tried to explain how it didn't look like there was anyone on hold on their phone. Whatever. Then I receive my Yumm Bowl and notice when I get back to work that it has only the thinnest layer of rice at the bottom, literally filling less than 1/4 of the bowl (it used to fill 3/4's of the bowl). The entire bowl was less than half filled! I literally ate it in about six bites and feel as if I haven't even eaten, whereas when I used to come in and purchase a medium sized bowl I would have left overs for the next day! I am extremely displeased and furthermore was not even given a receipt taped to the side of my bag like I am supposed to. Also, something I didn't mention in my previous review - DON'T accept their offer to add chicken to your bowl because it is the nastiest, cheapest, foam-like "chicken" I have ever eaten, as bad but maybe worse than Subway. read more

I like Cafe Yum, my mom and I have gone once, and I went to a different location with some friends while at PSU. That said, I think the portions are a little big small, and I do find them a little bit pricy. There's no reason to charge so much for a little chicken and some jasmine rice. read more

Cafe Blah Came here for lunch with my mom and honestly. ..i was not impressed. I could tell right away that this was a restaurant geared towards vegetarians/vegans (I'm a red blooded carnivore) as about 90% of their menu items seemed to involve tofu, tempeh, or just lack meat altogether. I settled on the teriyaki chicken since that was one of the only meat options that looked appetizing, and i have to say i was not impressed. Chicken had a rubbery texture and the teriyaki sauce was bland at best. For the price, I expected much better. Also, almost everything on the menu is something you could EASILY make at home for pennies on the dollar. Why would I pay $8+ for a "yumm bowl" when i could take that same amount of money and buy enough ingredients to make 10 of them at home?? Really makes you feel ripped off. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

I came here to see what the hype was about. Kind of a flop in my opinion. The food is actually not too bad. No way is it worth the money though. Got the bento and it comes with 6 or so small pieces of chicken for $9 and some change after tax. I get the whole healthy thing and the ingredient are premium. Was it good? Yes. Worth the money? Nah. And this place definitely isn't my type of restaurant I'd normally visit. If you're a PNW hipster this place is for you! read more

The staff was great, but the food is mediocre. Flavorless and overpriced. They're using canned black olives.

Location use to be great but changes in last few months have negatively affected the quality. With all the frequent order mistakes this place isn't worth a stop - I would get wrong order at least every third visit, even if correct on receipt. Also miss the grilled cheese. read more

Cafe Yumm! - Mill Plain Crossing - They called this a "wrap" - it's a cold hard tortilla laid on top of ingredients... lazy, crappy service - Wraps Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Cafe yuck. Way too many ingredients and sauces in their bowls. The bowl looked like a science experiment after taking a few bites. And to top it off, you pay $2.25 for a few morsels of chicken. read more

So I get Yumm probably five times a week and I always have a great experience. Today I got my usual and I brought it home and it had chicken in it. I am vegan and get my bowl with season tofu so I was pretty surprised to open it and see that it had chicken. I promptly returned it and the employees were so apologetic.They didn't complain or fuss about having to remake my food and even threw in a free cookie. They were so sincere in their apology and I was very thankful. I love Yumm and I especially love the service that I got at this location. read more

Fans of semi-fast food joints that have a taste for a bowl of healthy warm foodz will like this place. Good for a quick date squeezed into a productive day. Healthy without the overwhelming feeling of taste that indicates your food is too healthy for you to enjoy. I'd go back again after 4-5 months regularly but probably not much more than that. In the experience I had, in order to get a drink refill I had to stand at the front counter to the side of the register taking orders. Felt kind of weird because people in the ordering line think you're cutting. Also, it takes awhile to get the attention of an employee for the refills... kind of feels like you're ordering from a noisy bar. Not sure if getting a refill on a small fountain drink is worth the effort. I think they should put the fountain drink dispenser from behind the counter for the people or come up with a better system. Maybe relocating the dispenser would give the place the feel of a fast food place. Hm... read more

Café Yumm is an extremely poor mix between Freshii and Chipotle. I got the medium bowl with chicken, add jalapeño salsa no olives. I was expecting the yumm sauce to be a defined bold flavor that someone would be able to pinpoint if they had it alone. This was not the case. The whole meal was extremely bland. The beans and rice were both unseasoned and if you got the regular chicken that is also not seasoned. Not even char grilled. I regret to say (Because I very much wanted to love this place) there was nothing that really set them apart form any other "healthy" option. Nothing signature. The price was also high for something without meat (adding chicken is extra). read more

This is my 4th visit here. They have fabulous customer service! The employees in front will and do answer any and all questions you might have. I'm fairly new to this establishment they take the time to explain the menu items to me. All my visits have been during my lunch time from work. So this time is very limited. They get their customers in and out with great food! Overall the food is pretty good, and the customer service is awesome, from the time you walk in the time you walk it out. If it was just based on customer service I would have given it 5 stars. I gave it 4 because the food is good but not great. I will be back! read more

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
