We wanted to try a new brunch place to celebrate our 29th anniversary. So glad we found this special spot. It’s a family owned Eastern Europe restaurant with impeccable service and food. We sampled from the extensive coffee/ tea menu and then chose the Turkish breakfast, the Bosnian sausage, fried dough, crepes and tres leches . Unique decor with fireplace and umbrellas hung outside where patrons eat when weather permits. So nice to frequent local small businesses. Their Facebook page features the whole family on vacation in their native land plus photos of the special foods offered at Yummalicious. Gluten free and vegan options were available.
We will be back!

Kid-friendliness: Several tables included small children. It added to the wholesome family atmosphere.

If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming spot to enjoy exceptional food, this cafe and bakery is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm, homey atmosphere that makes you feel like you're dining in a friend’s kitchen. The staff is incredibly friendly, creating an inviting environment that adds to the charm of the place.

The food options are plentiful, with a great variety of both savory dishes and sweet treats. Every bite is a delight, and the cakes are truly out of the box. They strike the perfect balance—just the right amount of sweetness, rich in flavor, and bursting with unique, layered tastes that leave you wanting more. It’s clear they’ve perfected their recipes, especially when it comes to their cakes, which are a real highlight.

I’m already planning to work my way through their entire menu in the future. If you're looking for quality, flavor, and a sense of home, this place should be at the top of your list.

Yummilicious is truly a hidden gem owned by one of the sweetest and most hard-working families that you will ever meet. After having several amazing meals at this adorable cafe, I decided to order the desserts for my daughter’s bridal shower dessert table. Let me tell you—Mersiha went above and beyond to create the most beautiful and delicious creations that you will ever find. Each one (and there were a lot) was more delicious than the next and the presentation was amazing! She even went so far as to make a few extra pieces in case of any accidental breakage! We received numerous compliments with many guests wanting to know where these masterpieces came from. Even the boxes that the desserts were packaged in were beautiful! If you’re ever looking for desserts for a special occasion, DO NOT hesitate to order from Yummilicious where everything is created with a touch of class!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Yummilicious! Having enjoyed their treats for years we had them make our wedding cake. Merisha was fantastic to work with and helped us every step of the way, from providing incredible guidance during the tasting, to ensuring that our transportation plan to get the cake to our Vermont location went successfully. The cake was a big hit at our wedding and the guests loved it! We highly recommend them for cakes that you might need for any of life's special events.
