Cafe Yumm! - Millikan Pointe — Restaurant in Beaverton

Service has been terrible the past couple years. Unfortunately this is the closest cafe yum to where I have lived for the past 20 years. I used to really love coming here but there was a very unfortunate turn in management around 2021. I can't remember the young gentleman's name but there used to be this really nice guy I think he was a manager he was Mexican younger man and had tattoos. He was an absolute sweetheart and always made sure that my food was actually gluten free/ celiac safe. I have celiacs disease and it's really hard to find somewhere where I can actually eat. I make most of my food at home but it's nice to be able to feel like a normal person and go out to eat every now and then. I have to make sure that whoever is preparing my food is aware of cross-contamination. This isn't a made-up illness this is my life and my health I don't want to be on the toilet or throwing up all day if someone doesn't take me seriously. After that gentleman left in 2021 the new management has been so rude not only that I have been sick several times from eating cafe yum even after requesting my celiac friendly prepared. As much as I have attempted the bowls myself at home I can never get them quite right. The new management is super rude and they are all related to each other either cousins or sisters. Lots of eye rolling and crap talking in Spanish. Here's the thing I'm actually bilingual Even though I'm white, So I know what you're saying. I know it's not easy to work in the service industry. I used to be a waitress myself for many years but please keep rude comments to yourself especially when it's something that somebody can't control like allergies. Be mindful of that next time you're talking shit about someone's allergies and health conditions and overall appearance. It's time to let go of eating at this location off...

I live very close to this location in Beaverton. My first experience with Cafe Yumm was in Eugene, and it was amazing even stopping in both directions thru. They made the smoky bowl with tofu so well that I just had to keep coming back. Then yesterday I went to my local one in Beaverton, thinking it would be just as good or better. While I was ordering I asked for extra cilantro...they charged me for it (who charges for a pinch of leaves?, I thought) oh well, at least I should get a bunch...NO, all I could find through out the bowl was one leaf and a 3 inch twig of stem on my first bite. They barely put any yumm sauce on and it was so dry I have 6 or more bites of dry hard rice at the bottom....couldn't even tell if it was supposed to be smokey. Don't order the tofu! It was like eating cardboard. In Eugene it was flavorful and moist, in Beaverton it was as if it were under a heat lamp all day, hollow inside cause it all dried up and hard to chew cause it was so tough and dry. Very disappointing...will not...

This one star has nothing to do with the staff. They were amazing! Upbeat fun and friendly. They all deserve a raise. My one star rating is mostly due to the food and Cafe Yumm the chain as a whole. I have never been here before and did not know what to expect but have heard from countless people in Portland that I absolutely HAVE to eat here. After looking at the menu and ordering a few things I was shocked that my bill was $44!!! 3 kids menu items and two adult menu items. This isn't Outback Steakhouse or Cheesecake Factory folks. The ingredients were literally prepared and served as if I was in my own kitchen, simply prepared and practically raw. I guess I didn't realize that's Cafe Yumm's whole aesthetic? Anyway the food was bland beyond belief, unsalted and just flavorless (and I even got the "jazzy" bowl which was supposed to have extra kick? Last time I'll ever eat at this overpriced bland restaurant again. Workers were...
