About Jumi's Cafe

Jumi’s Cafe solves the Chapel Street search for entirely plant-based comfort food, dishing out loaded deli sandwiches, thick smoothie bowls, and house-blended nut spreads. Regulars drop in for the Reuben toastie—stacked with tempeh, sauerkraut, dairy-free cheddar, and Russian dressing—or grab a window stool with a whipped maqui bowl topped with house-made chocolate peanut butter.

  • Plant-Based Comfort Food: Comfort classics get the plant-based treatment across sourdough toasties, vegan deli cuts, and breakfast wraps.
  • House Nut Spreads & Bowls: Thick blended açai and whipped coconut maqui bases come finished with house-made almond and chocolate-hazelnut spreads.
  • Chapel Street Perch: Indoor window stools and outdoor sidewalk seats offer a relaxed perch to sip smoothies and watch Chapel Street foot traffic.

  • Thick Acai & Maqui Smoothie Bowls

    Thick-consistency acai and maqui smoothie bowls arrive loaded with fresh fruit and rich, on-site nut toppings.

    Fruit was super fresh, and they make you realise you don’t need a lot of toppings to make a good acai bowl if their toppings are made to perfection.
