I guess you could probably eat before they tow you, but I didn't want to chance it. I had the Pecan, Chicken Salad wrap and enjoyed it. It was also ginormous. I could only eat half before giving up. Technically, they cut it in half already so maybe I ate one of the two wraps they gave me. It was delicious, but it was just too much for me. There was a raspberry vinaigrette that was very good. I drizzled a little on as I ate. Also came with a side of chips.

They finally gave us the name of this place so once they left, my wife and I ventured over to this spot and boy were we pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is amazing and full of energy, the sammich names are loco cool, they serve kool-aid, how awesome is that and tier desserts are yummy. I didn't get any drinks from the bar but there's always next time. My wife ordered the white widow which is a chicken sammich with i don't know what on it but she said it was delicious as I didn't get a bite and I ordered the Barry White with jalapeño au jus and jalapeño cream cheese. My Sammich was so good and once I fished all the sliced jalapeños from the au-jus and placed them in my sammich, that was the ultimate bite. Their lemon blueberry cookie was so good as was their chocolate rice Crispi treat. We will be back but we both highly recommend this place

After free parking in the garage close to La Madeline, my much better half & I (gimp)walked to this fine eatery. It was so clean inside, with bright/legible menus posted above the counter as well smaller/personal sheets available at the registers. The wait staff were all eager and ready to assist, in addition to maintaining the impeccable restaurant cleanliness. I enjoyed the nutty mixed up salad; my wife enjoyed a salmon sandwich (not on the menu but available because she asked for it) that included the sumptuous salad bar & chips. I did think about ordering a soup--it was a bit brisk outside, but inside the atmosphere is extremely pleasant. In fact, we decided to sit at one of the tables, and placed a locator number on the edge, definitely guaranteeing the cooked items were fresh! One thing caught my eye on the Northeast edge opposite the salad bar: FREE ice cream (vanilla/chocolate/swirl) on a small sugar cone. How could I resist?! This was the first time I'd ever eaten here, but it for sure won't be the last! Jason's Delivery certainly has my coveted "¡Wheel of Approval!" I was very impressed with everything, from entrance/ease of ordering & paying (all major credit cards/cash)/cleanliness/affability of staff. ¡I'll definitely return!

So, if you want to try any of their food or beverages you go to their website: https://www.urbanofoodgroupep.com/?l=en-US then select Urbano Sandwicheria and order. Last, select a time to pick up and method of payment. They accept apple pay and I love that. I ordered the day before because I get too busy during the morning. When you go pick up your food their establishment is located at the lower level of an office building. Park in the back of the building and you will be right there vs parking at the front and having to take the elevator down. Once you are there, your food will be bagged and available on a table with your name on it. I really liked that they had my food ready on time. So, it was an easy transaction. The office building were they are located has tables to eat on the 1st floor. By the way this place is super nice and I highly recommend if you need some quiet time. The food is affordable, healthy and tasty. I highly suggest if you are looking for a not heavy yet tasty lunch. The owner is related to the former Burritos Pampas owners.

My favorites: Jardín sandwich - I'm an omnivore, so I often add cheese or protein to this otherwise vegetarian sandwich, but it is really delicious on its own. I haven't had a sandwich like it elsewhere. Great flavor and great texture. And the red pepper flakes are pretty mild but add a tiny little kick, mmmm. I like it best toasted on the multigrain bread. Limeade - I buy a gallon every few weeks. Really great. I drink a little as is, but mostly cut it with some Pelligrino for a lighter, lower/calorie beverage. (And on occasion might cut it with some vodka or tequila!) The customer service is great. See note pictured - it's the second time I've gotten a note...and since the sandwich is delivered in a classic paper lunch bag, the note always reminds me of childhood, when my Dad would put a note or draw a face on my lunch. Funny to get as an adult, but kinda sweet!

Everything feels playful and health-forward, like a mix between a post-gym refuel spot and a feel-good café. Prices are definitely on the higher side for this part of town, but you can tell they're using quality ingredients and putting care into presentation. It's one of those places that makes you forget you're not in a bigger city -- it just has that boutique café vibe that's hard not to love.

I came back yesterday to try it, then came back again today because I couldn't stop thinking about it. This is hands down the best French toast I've ever had. It's listed under the dessert menu, but I honestly think it belongs on the breakfast menu. I expected it to be overly sweet, but it wasn't at all. The homemade berry jam is light and delicate, the fresh berries add little bursts of flavor, and the creamy yogurt topping gives it the perfect amount of tang. Everything is balanced beautifully. The brioche is thick, soft, and soaked all the way through without being soggy. Every bite had a different texture, and I actually found myself slowing down because I didn't want it to end. I also tried one of their coffee drinks. It was good, but I'd still come back just for the French toast. One thing worth mentioning: I didn't realize you have to leave your tip when you place your order because there's no option to add one afterward. Once I figured that out, I made sure to tip them well on my return visits because they absolutely deserved it. The service has been consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff even recognized me after seeing me all week while my kids were at the clay camp next door and gave me a small discount today. It was such a thoughtful gesture. Bravo Coffee House has definitely earned a repeat customer. I'll be back long after clay camp is over. Previous: I discovered Bravo Coffee House because my kids have been attending the clay camp next door all week. Since camp is two hours long, it didn't make sense to drive home, so I decided to check it out. I had no idea it was here, and I was surprised to learn they've only been open about 10 months. The shop is simple, clean, and very welcoming. Everyone on the staff was friendly, and the owner even came by to ask how everything was. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, so they recommended their freshly made watermelon agua fresca. It was refreshing and delicious. I also tried the mushroom pozole, which had a light, flavorful broth and several different kinds of mushrooms. You can tell they care about quality. The homemade tortilla chips weren't really my favorite, but I appreciated the owner explaining that they're made fresh from tortillas in-house. I always appreciate businesses that genuinely want feedback. The atmosphere is great if you're looking for a quiet place to relax or get some work done. It's nice to see a local business like this helping bring more life to the Alameda area. I'll definitely be back to try the coffee next time.

As we pulled up, the block around the diner was surrounded by cars parked along the street. We ended up parking a block away by some abandoned buildings. When we got in, there were a few people in line waiting to order. There was still plenty of seating, tables, and high chair seating along the front windows. We ordered some coffee, a cheesecake, and breakfast. I ordered an Americano, Liz ordered something with oat milk, and a cheesecake, which I thought was a bit early...but hey, to each their own (I would retract the statement later). It took a minute to get the drinks, but water was available while we waited. The cheesecake was simple, but very good...I recommend this with your hot drinks. They brought the rest of our order a little bit afterwards. I enjoyed my huevos divorciados. I thought the russet potatoes were pretty good, they were cooked and salted so that it was a bonus to the plate. I also noted that the smokey red salsa was very well flavored. The plate comes with three eggs, the potatoes, beans sprinkled with cotija cheese, and two corn tortillas. Liz ordered chicken enchiladas. That came with two eggs, and the same beans. The staff was friendly and made sure that all was in order and kept the crowd moving through steadily. Bravo, Bravo.
