Cafe Yumm is pretty famous around Eugene. It is a great place for healthy options.
One thing to keep in mind is that Yumm Sauce is kind of high in calories. I had brought a low-cal, low-fat soup to work with me the other day and by the time lunch time hit, there was no way that would be enough food. So, I decided to be brave (I'm new to this whole driving thing) and drive to Cafe Yumm all by myself.
I ordered a Yumm n' Greens, without avocado (personal preference) and without their famous Yumm sauce (now don't get me wrong, their sauce is delicious). One half of that would be a serving for the dieting me.
My argument is this: Cafe Yumm is still Cafe Yumm, even if you opt out of their sauce. Pre-life style change, I would have ordered a Pesto Turkey panini, eaten all the chips, had a strawberry lemonade (oh to die for) and maybe even a cookie (even the before me thought the chocolate dipped cookies were a bit overkill, but hey, to each their own).
My point is simply this: If you are changing your life, you don't have to give up everything, make a few small changes. Healthy places like Cafe Yumm are still great - just make sure you make great choices (and yes, Cafe Yumm is still quite yummy - even without the Yumm Sauce).
Oh, and I still had a few chips, and I didn't feel guilty! (And the driving part was the easiest part!)

I love Cafe Yumm! But I can't resist Yumm sauce, so I ask for half the sauce...
