The name of this casual dining chain comes from the reaction the owner Mary Ann Beauchamp got to her first café, Wild Rose Café & Deli in 1991, where she served rice and beans in a bowl with her special sauce and salsa on it. Her customers would take a bite, and say, “Yumm… what is this?” She called the dish — and subsequently the restaurant chain — Yumm!.

I tried the Yumm! ‘n Greens, which is their signature original Yumm! bowl  consisting of organic brown rice and organic black beans layered with the original Yumm! sauce, topped with organic mild red salsa all served a top a bed of organic field greens with tortilla chips. It didn’t look like enough to satisfy my hunger, but it amazingly was. And it sustained me the rest of the day.

If you see a Cafe Yumm! while visiting Oregon, I recommend you stop by for a nourishing nutritious meal.
