Cafe Yumm's three Eugene locations serve a variety of meatless items.
Yumm mixes flavor, variety

With the growing number of vegans and
vegetarians in our earthy home of Eugene,
there ought to be more places like Cafe
Yumm. This little nook, tucked inside the
burgundy- and butternut-colored Meridi
an indoor mall on 18th Avenue and
Willamette Street, has delicious items sure
to please all health nuts. Dishes made to
order, goodies from the adjoining coffee
shop and take-home treats all burst at the
seams with character and flavor.
Cafe Yumm serves its delicacies from a
counter that is already overflowing with as
sorted bonbons to buy and nibble on, such as
truffles, ginger drops and sesame nuggets.
The menu has many vegetarian options and
is based on the cafe’s original dish, a rice and
bean bowl. Three sizes of the bowl and varia
tions of the recipe are available, along with
soups, salads and sandwiches ranging from
plain turkey to garden pesto. The hearty,
colossal tofu wrap comes filled with red and
black beans, avocado, diced tomato, olives
and melted cheddar; it’s sure to satisfy large
appetites. A tasty dish to order is the Yumm
‘N Greens plate—a bed of salad greens cov
ered with fluffy brown and jasmine rice, the
cafe’s signature creamy garlic-almond sauce,
beans, slightly spicy salsa and a circle of tor
tilla chips. The only flaw in these two dishes
is there are too many beans.
Along with the cuisine, the cafe sells a
wide array of other items. Cafe Yumm of
fers its own signature vegan sauce in origi
nal, spicy and smoky versions; they also
have a line of beans. The adjoining coffee
shop, also run by Cafe Yumm, offers classic
espresso, organic teas, monstrous pastries
and a steamed milk-mango-granola con
coction. There is also great service at both
food and coffee counters. The employees
are laid-back, friendly and seem excited to
be working at such a unique, tasty and
health-conscious restaurant.
There are two other Cafe Yumm loca- *
tions in Eugene — at the Oakway Center
and at the Fifth Street Public Market. Ad
dresses and hours can be accessed via the
restaurant’s Web site,
www.cafeyumm.com/.
Cafe Yumm is a great choice for veg
ans, vegetarians or people who just
want great food. Check it out for lunch
one day — by the time you leave, you’ll
honestly be saying, “Yumm!”

“I think my favorite part was be

to take an outfit and dress it to what

really speaking it, but showing.”
Alice Roach, a retired commu

“I was very honored to be invit

Crawford said the fashion’s
message was important because it
informed young women — a de
mographic who wouldn’t be aware
of breast cancer unless it directly
affected them.

One thing that is essential — and

A wise choice to stay baby- and
STD-free is to start taking birth

every time you have sex.
As far as technique goes, I’m not
about to print anything graphic in a
public newspaper (and I don’t want

who love reading my column), so
you can look at Cosmopolitan for
that. If you truly feel strong love and
attraction for this boy, you should be
able to act on your feelings and let
the sex flow naturally. Don’t expect
any explosive orgasms the first time
around, and don’t fret if afterwards
you suddenly see sex as overrated.
