Urban Eats catered our family Christmas brunch for 30 people. The food was a hit, especially the Stuffed French Toast which I chose to serve without syrup. Delivery was easy, presentation was lovely and Caya was attentive to our every need in preparing for the event including a last minute surprise allergy to kiwi fruit. I highly recommend them for catering. read more

Loved this place. Nice on the inside, great service and very good food. It's a bit out of the way for me but I will definitely go back if there is a chance. I specifically went because I decided to look just for places with a check in offer (I was downtown at the time) and theirs was a stuffed muffin, excellent. I also opted for a salad (very good), Italian flat bread (excellent) and some chicken soup (very good with a twist). Leah? took the time explain how the menu worked, did everything with a smile and was very friendly. She timed everything well and did a great job overall. I was pretty full once the muffin came but it was definitely hard not to want to eat it all it was that good. Check them out. read more

Great food, friendly people, cozy atmosphere. I love this place!

I usually come here for the board game Meetup group. For having so many people come in, they have quick and friendly service. They love to feature local beers and other items, with a strong focus on fostering community building in Dutchtown area. There is a decent amount of seating and the lighting is pretty good so I would think this would be a good spot to set up to do work as well. read more

My husband and I are HUGE fans of Urban Eats' Sunday brunch. They serve great food, dim sum style from carts that are wheeled around the cafe. Picture a bright, artistically designed, friendly place serving cocktails and good, good food and that Urban Eats. LOVE how they give back to the surrounding community, as well, so let's support this biz! My top brunch pick was the stuffed french toast cooked bread pudding style in a large pan. The Rum Bunny cocktail was better than the Urban Mimosa, imho. They also had pork baos, aka steamed buns, which are hard to find around here. The only two detractors were that the band was done playing by 1:15 when we showed up (brunch til 2pm) and the small brunch plates quickly add up so our total for two, with two cocktails, was around $42. Granted, we practically gorged ourselves so we probably could have been satisfied on $30. Anyway, I'd like to return to check out their Happy Hr 4-7pm everyday with $5 cocktails and $3 small plates (including bacon-wrapped dates -- drool). read more

Three of us went for lunch. Two of the three came out wrong. Sandwich was no good considering it was covered in a sauce I didn't want. Won't be back. read more

The wrap with chicken and southwest sauce? Not sure about what the name of the sauce was. I am sure that it is very tasty. Free Italian soda was a nice touch too. read more

Caya, Amy & all aspects of Urban Eats rocked my luncheon meeting today! Gorg presentation, unique & delish food options, kept it healthy and because of that the team i fed stayed awake all afternoon! read more

Love this place . The owner as well as all the staff is so friendly and nice . My first time here the cashier explained everything about their ordering process as well as the items they offer. She even suggested other places ( stores, shops, restaurants) in the area as I am new to this community. The inside of the place is very unique and pretty . The food is delicious ( I suggest you try Southwest Chicken Panini). Over all, love this place, and atmosphere. read more

So I had about 2 hours to burn up before my next appointment in the city and needed to get some lunch so I typed in " eat healthy and free wifi" in google search and the first result was Urban Eats Cafe & Bakery, ok so here we go. At first site from the curb I thought what a cool looking place. Side walk seating with umbrella but sidewalk seating is not for me plus i was alone. As I walked in the entryway I saw hard wood floors, I love hard wood floors, and bar height stools and tables, counter type seating facing the windows and somereagular tables and chairs. There was a nice set of living room type sofa and chairs where a few people could sit and socialize comfortably. I was greeted right a way witch help me know where i need to go to place an order. Which is a counter ordering situation. I was asked if this was my first visit, I answered yes and the person taking my order, she did not offer her name, explained the ordering process. I chose a rice bowl, Asian style with Salmon. This was a great choice. The rice bowls are served with rice Pena, caramelized onions, tomatoes and Spanish. There was plenty of Salmon in the bowl and the rice was cooked perfectly for my taste and texture preference. I had the fresh brewed green leaf tea. The tea is brewed perfectly and is self serve so you can get as much as you like and no waiting. I really like this place I know that it is now going to be one of my place to stop in for a quick lunch or a place to burn a little time. I do hope that you experience the same level of quality food as I did. read more

Love Urban Eats and miss, miss, miss it now that I'm no longer in The Lou -- but will *definitely* make it a destination when I come back to visit. Great food (have never had anything bad there - and as a vegetarian, they have a lot of things I can really, really savor.) Love the owners (very hands-on and community-org types), love the place (spacious and comfy at the same time,) love and miss Game Nights, and love the art/artists support. Oh, and love the dog-friendly outdoor seating. read more

Great food and a great atmosphere. Totally underrated. Thank you for that great service.

Used Urban Eats for a party last week. The food was delivered on time and packaged so well that everything was warm and ready to serve. I also requested a bartender. The employee, Julia not only was professional but she helped me in a lots of ways. My overall experience was 5 stars. Mary Ann read more

I eat here all if the time! Great food. Lots of options and the whole idea of this restaurant being community oriented is very cool. Also, the peanut butter smoothie is heaven! read more

The service and employees were great but the food was extremely bland.

Had a team retreat at the Central Library, catered by Urban Eats. We pre-ordered our lunches, and everything was ready when it was time for lunch. The lunches were good, but the chip selection was a little thin and the fruit was a bit past its prime, but everyone enjoyed it very much. read more

Everytime I have gone, the service has been slow. I guess it pays for the really always excellent veggie Italian wrap. They could lower some of the prices of the side items, $2.99 for Asian Slaw that is maybe a cup size. Probably meets serving requirements, but $ seems to me like it's marked up 250%. read more

Urban Eats catered one of our events for 50 with boxed lunches. The food was delivered on time and they set up; the co-owner and chef were very informative and friendly. The food was beautifully presented (which is not always an easy task with box lunches). The only complaint was the wraps were a little small but still delicious. It was a healthier alternative to some of the normal catering which was appreciated. read more

I would really like to try this place but every time I show up they are unexpectedly closed! The first time I showed up I was told they were closed for a Spring Spruce up and would be open on the 11th. I left a little annoyed because there was no indication of this on their website, which I had used to look them up and browse the menu. I later discovered they had something up on their Facebook page about being closed, but seeing as those I don't have a Facebook, this was of no benefit to me. Today (March 15th) I drove all the way over only to discover a sign on the door stating they will be closed the remainder of the week! This time I checked their Facebook and there was no information regarding the extended closure. In fact it was a bit confusing because they had posts advertising the re-opening and even pictures posted of people eating there for a brunch event just the other day. Is this some kind of secret society of delicious eatery? I really wish I knew. Poor communication on the businesses side of things has made me feel like I probably won't be giving these guys a try. If I do muster up the fortitude to drive clear across town again I will definitely be calling ahead to make sure they are open. I suggest you do the same. read more

I've never waited so long for such a bland lunch. Maybe it was a training issue or something, but everyone working behind the counter moved at a very slow pace. I had some sort of wrap. It was extremely unmemorable. I think their name is doing an injustice to food in the city. At least they sell beer here. read more

I went to Urban Eats for their Sunday Art Brunch. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and included vegan/ vegetarian, gluten-free, and meat options. I felt good supporting a local business that emphasizes bettering the community. Will be back! read more

The staff deserve 4-5 stars. But they're closed randomly, and it's statring to deteriorate. Eat there before it starts sucking. Great local art. Still, a gem of Meremac. read more

I am seriously disappointed with this restaurant. They don't keep regular hours (despite what they post) and are often closed when I come by. My to go orders are never ready when I show up, even when I wait until the time they tell me, and I just found out I can't even get any kind of esspresso because of Sunday brunch. Really?? Weak, weak, weak.... No worries, I will now be going to Crusoe's for lunch and hell, crappy Starbucks for coffee because at least I will know they are actually open and serving the coffee they advertise. read more

I live in West County, and a friend recommended to me that I eat at Urban Eats if I happened to be in south city. I can't say that I was at all pleased with this place! Prices for "average" food were ridiculous and the wait time for my purchase was extreme. I was also utterly disgusted upon finding a roach crawling in the bathroom sink as I washed my hands. Having worked in the food industry before, this is a SERIOUS health code violation! I won't ever come back here or recommend it to anyone looking for appetizing food and a clean environment! read more

Great local restaurant with top notch customer service! I needed a last minute order and Caya was very accommodating AND the food was great! I would recommend Urban Eats if you are looking for local tasty food! read more

Love this place! They just celebrated 8 years and from what I can tell their staying power is a wonderful mix of awesome, tasty, healthy food and awesome leadership. The owners are so sweet and community driven- part of their mission is enhancing the local community. I love a Southwest chicken wrap anytime and just know its my go-to for a tasty and healthy lunch. Brownies for a sweet treat and great breakfast wraps too?!! A girl couldn't ask for more. Great space, very flexible for groups to meet and open to the community for rentals. Stop by and fall in love! read more

Moved in around the corner of this place last week and have been eager to try it out. I took a peak to see if they were open today for lunch and happily found them waiting. Really dig the concept, simple with some of that urban vibe that you'd expect given the name. The young woman behind the counter walked me through the menu/ordering process and then gave me a recommendation for a flat bread pizza concept. Honestly, it was better than any of the regional pizza places I've had around STL in the past year and I will absolutely be strolling by there more often. Thrilled to have this place just around the corner for a delicious, simple, and CHEAP meal. Love it. read more

Just wanted to thank you so much for accomodating us last Sunday. We had an awesome surprise bday party. Great food, awesome atmosphere and excellent music with Sarah Jane and the blue notes! We WILL be back! Thanks again! read more

We had used Urban Eats to cater for our event - we loved it. The food was fab, and Caya came in and was very meticulous with setting up the food wonderfully. We'd use them again for our events. read more

Had a workshop event catered by Urban Eats and the experience was a pleasure; light breakfast and lunch food was creative, healthy and very tasty!! Would definitely patronize this business again. read more

We held our book club at Central Library in Downtown STL. We contacted Urban Eats Cafe at the library. They did a great job. Great fresh food. If you are looking for a great venue for your book club, contact the library and Urban Eats. read more

Great place. It really looks and feels like every detail was thought of... cool glass table tops, great black chairs, funky white stools on the high table by the window, and a fabulous brown leather loveseat w/ matching armchairs (complete with throw pillows). The offering of bakery items looked great, but we were ready for lunch after the Komen Race, and my hubby and I had a turkey wrap (he really liked it) and a chicken panini (scrumptious... very flavorful, on 5 grain grilled bread). The Summer Salad and the Asian Slaw were fresh and tasty. We didn't have coffee, but it smelled great, and others around us were enjoying theirs. Friendly, upbeat owner and staff. GREAT addition to the neighborhood... looks great on the outside, too. TRY IT! read more

John and Caya are just an amazing couple and it is no surprize that Urban Eats is just as amazing as they are! Everything they do, they do to their very best and that includes dancing. They are two ot the best dancers in St Louis. So do yourselves a BIG favor and check out Urban Eats the first chance you get!!! Uhmmm.....dance and eat.....now that a concept to think about...... read more

I really tried to like this place, because I live in the area and they market themselves as being good for the community... but it's hard to get behind a place you know must be treating their employees just AWFUL. I've heard they abuse part time rules, asking their employees to do things like pick up deliveries for them off the clock and expecting them to "volunteer" at Urban Eats events as part of their employment conditions. I also have many musician friends that were booked and played shows there only to find out AFTER the fact that UE does not believe in paying musicians ANYTHING not even free drinks. The food is alright, but while they market it as being homemade, fresh, and local the local farmer in me can tell they buy the majority of their ingredients from restaurant depot just like anywhere else. Still, since all of this was speculation or things I heard second hand I gave the place several chances-- Until the THIRD time I saw one of the owners come out and in the most condescending nasty way possible just rip her employees, obviously people that were new there every time, a new one for what seemed to be a VERY small mistake. I don't know the behind the scenes but in my book it is never okay to talk to an employee in the way I have overheard this woman going off. read more
