Café Yumm!

Thank you Cafe Yumm for fixing mistakes that have been made and making the jazzy bowl absolutely perfect! You went above and beyond to make things right and I'm very happy!

First time ever and had the Southwest Bowl. It was and will be back! Super fresh ingredients, even the sliced avocado.

I LOVE cafe yumm. The ingredients are always fresh, including perfect avocado every single time. The sauce is tangy, unique, and vibrant. The meal is remarkably filling given the low fat and protein content. Any bowl can be customized in any way, crucially, including swapping brown rice for white (what can I say, brown rice tastes like dirt to me). The only downside to cafe yumm, typically, is the price. $15 for a medium bowl with protein (the smallest portion you can expect to constitute a full meal) is steep. Steep, but managable. Worth it for a treat, not for an every day meal.

"But Ethan," you ask, "why only 3 stars?" Well, it's this location in particular. The Candelaria Crossing Yumm has the most astonishingly skimpy portions of any Yumm location I've visited. This compounds the price issue nearly to the breaking point. The flavor is still there, the delightful service is still there, but paying $15 for half a counter-serve meal just won't cut it.

I purchased a chicken bento to go as this was my first time visiting a Cafe Yumm and got home to find hardly any chicken in the container. Literally 25% of what I was expecting and the meal was $11.
The only good thing I can say is the young lady who answered the phone was willing to give me more if I went back, but as I told her --- I will never be back. I can not recall a time where I was more disappointed in an establishment. I hope that young lady finds a new place to work because she was much classier than Cafe Yumm deserves.

Great variety of vegetarian/vegan dishes. I ordered the southwest wrap with tofu and it was delicious. I also ordered a tempeh skewer which was good too. I will try the tofu skewer next time.

We like the food and order for delivery but 90% of the time some part of our order is wrong... or someone else's completely! Very frustrating. Plus when adding chicken, it's barely anything.

Food is usually okay. Prices are way too high for the size portions you get. Prior to COVID prices were way too high for the size of portions. Now it is crazy pricing. I ordered a medium dish. In any other restaurant it would have been considered a small dish. I like to give business to small local restaurants, not chain restaurant's. I can not afford high prizes like this.

Updated review.
After my initial bad experience and Very Bad Review, I got a call from management wanting to make it right.

They did.

I am grateful that management is so responsive to bad reviews and is willing to stand by their restaurant to make sure they have satisfied customers. Because of this, I'm willing to give Cafe Yumm another chance.

Just love it, the sauces and the salsa make a difference for me! I could have it every day if I could:)

We stopped going to all their locations and returned about 6mos later, everything was accurate. On very rare occasion their beans will be a little hard for my taste but it's happened twice in the span of a year. All of their employees now at the commercial location are wonderful and my order has not been wrong again. We continue to return almost any time we choose to eat "fast food". Great quality food.
