Update 8/5/26: I tried to email customer service at the email provided below but the domain is invalid. Today I ordered the steak bowl special via a pick up order. I thankfully (or maybe not) checked my bag before I left because I noticed they didn't include the focaccia bread. My boyfriend went back inside and they were super apologetic as they gave him the bread. BUT, when I got home, I noticed they didn't give me the EXTRA 2 sauces I ordered. My bowl came completely dry and I only received 1 small container of each sauce, rather than 2 of each. Additionally, I paid for extra kale, which wasn't added, and the bowl was completely missing the garlic sesame cucumbers that actually come with the bowl. As great as the food is, I'm super disappointed by how botched my order was and I can't say with confidence they'll get your order right if you order take-out. Which is a huge bummer since it tastes pretty good. read more

My husband and I came to Urbane Cafe for lunch. The moment I saw the menu I knew that it was going to be good food. The manager was so friendly and took the time to tell us if we didn't like the food that he would make us something else. My husband ordered the Club Sandwich. He raved about the quality of the ingredients and the bread. I had Cilantro Chicken Salad. Everything was so fresh and healthy. The focaccia bread is so fresh and delicious. The portions are huge, we both took half home. I'm so pleased that we found this fresh and healthy restaurant. Ambiance 5/5 Food 5/5 Service 5/5 read more

We haven't been here in a while. Stopped by recently for a quick dinner. Food is always fresh and delicious. Hubby had the turkey club sandwich with bacon and he really liked it. I had the chicken Baja bowl and everything was super fresh and yummy. My suggestion for Urbane Cafe is to add more protein in the bowl. Most restaurants give a minimum of 4 ounces of protein on their dishes. I'm not sure if there was more than 2 ounces of chicken in the bowl. Chicken is very thinly sliced and there wasn't much of it though. Other than that, everything was good. The white chocolate cranberry cookie was amazing. I used to stop by here all the times, several times a week, to pick up the cookies for my evening snacks. It's $3.19 per cookie now and it's not very big. I can easily eat three of them in one seating. The focaccia bread is very good and they make it onsite daily. There was no one in the restaurant when we came but people were trickling in soon after and there were many to go orders. read more

Overall experience was ok! A solid 4 stars. We came on a Saturday around noon, the place was not crazy busy, but they were having a constant flow of customers. Parking can get hectic, lots of other shops around. It was a clean restaurant, well maintained and organized. The staff could've been nicer. A "Hi and welcome," would have been nice. But she was still professional and patient as she took our orders. The food was ok. It was just good. Good flavor, chicken was a bit dry, nothing some sauce couldn't fix haha. Not sure if I'll come back though, it is really out of my way, but it has good stars on help and google so I wanted to try it! Would I recommend it? Yes, try it if you are around the area! read more

I usually when this place order the chicken salad for lunch, over all are pretty good, but tonight I decide have salad for dinner, turn out they close the garage door for her house and there is pack the green salad and chicken only half of usual, also didn't have goat cheese. I don't know why? read more

Bday 2025 Shout out to new manager: Jessica. I came here after what seems to be 6 years. I was next door at the bagel shop and decided to visit Urban Cafe and see what was new. I realized on my app, i had a bday free cookie that i could redeem and said "why not"? I chose their seasonal oatmeal raisin cookie and saw some cool changes to menu. U.C was a go to spot for me, but things went downhill while they were changing up management. After talking to Jessica for a bit and learning about the new expansions of UC into SJC, Irvine, Westminister and Orange im hoping that things have changed and i will be back to check out their new avocado kale quinoa salad that looked good. read more

I really enjoy the food here and keep coming back because everything is always fresh and delicious. However, I was disappointed today. As usual, I poured myself some dragon fruit drink into one of the small complimentary water cups because it's the perfect amount for me. One of the employees told me that I would have to pay for it, which honestly surprised me. I always leave a tip of $2-$5 on an order that usually costs around $13-14. I'm not trying to get anything extra or take advantage of the restaurant--I simply can't finish a large drink and don't want to waste it. Considering the tips I leave every visit, is it really unreasonable to use a small complimentary plastic cup instead? I truly love the food, but today's experience left me disappointed. read more

I came here to grab lunch during my break. I tried the Baja Bowl and really enjoyed it! What stood out the most was the chicken. I thought it was super tender and the marinade was very good. All of the flavors paired well together, and the bowl was a good size leaving me feeling full! When you order inside, you will also see a hot plate with cookies on display behind the counter. These cookies are delicious, highly recommend getting one! I took my food to go and was very impressed by how efficient they were having this ready! read more

I've visited many cafes and restaurants, and while I often enjoy them at first, it's not uncommon for me to find things I don't like after a few visits. Urbane Cafe is the only place I've been to where every visit has been consistently excellent. I always try something new, and I've never been disappointed. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with care. It's clear that quality is a priority here. Thank you for the great work and dedication. Wishing you continued success, and I hope you keep maintaining the same high standards for years to come! read more

I have to be honest, I was given a gift card for Urbane Cafe and wasn't too excited to try, not because it didn't look good, I'm just not a fan of focaccia bread. Wife decided we'd use up our gift cards tonight, so I went ahead and got a BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich and BBQ Potato Chips. I have to admit, I'm truly a fan of Focaccia bread (at least from Urbane Cafe). The bread was not as dense and dry as I'm used to, it was very soft and a bit fluffy (yeah kinda fluffy) and the tri tip was cooked perfectly, the bbq sauce and slaw were both flavorful, and the cheese was nice and melted. Something had a bit of a kick, I think the bbq sauce. The sandwich was very good, the right amount of ingredients. My wife got the Club Sandwich, I tried a bite and it was pretty good too. The pizza we got just to use up the gift cards, and it was pretty good too. I think the pizza is part of the kids menu, and a great idea for kids that may not like a sandwich or salad. The gal that helped me was super friendly and the restaurant was spotless clean. I would very much recommend Urbane Cafe even if you don't have a gift card! read more

Our church catered food from Urbane Cafe and my daughter loved their turkey pesto sandwich so we rushed after the church meeting to get more sandwiches. The food is so fresh and tasty and the customer service was excellent. This will be our new go to lunch spot after church. read more

Delicious is in the details. This is stapled on their wall, and definitely applies here! The decor is modern with wood accents and plenty of seating. The menu has lots of great options, and lots on the healthy side, but still super tasty! I had to try the So Cal sandwich first. It's got chicken, avocado, pepper jack, chipotle aoli, and tomatillo over their own focaccia bread. It was excellent! Also comes with a small side salad. This was a full meal with side included that doesn't break the bank. All of their poultry is all natural and hormone free. They have vegetarian dishes, lots of soups and salads, and offer gluten free bread as a substitute. I'm gonna have to try their chimichurri steak sandwich next time! Oh and you gotta get one of their freshly baked cookies. They're soft-centered with slightly crunchy edges, just how I like it! Will definitely be back for sure! read more

Found this place while in the area for something else. Menu looked great so we went in and tried it. This place is clean and welcoming. The staff was great! The food was excellent! So many healthy choices here . The focaccia bread and fresh baked cookies were a bonus. The entire time we were there, the manager was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back and keep this place on our regular rotation for good healthy food and great atmosphere. read more

Urbane Cafe never disappoints! The Cafe Chicken Salad is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying, especially with the delicious focaccia bread on the side. Everything tastes light but still hearty, with a great balance of ingredients and flavor. The So Cal Sandwich is another favorite -- fresh, tasty, and packed with California-style ingredients. Great food, friendly service, and a perfect spot for a fresh, satisfying meal! read more

Visiting while on vacation. The food was fresh and tasted amazing. Too bad we don't have one in NY

I've only tried it once, but was very impressed. My daughter and I ordered sandwiches online for pick up and they were really good; then after seeing the bowls and salads I couldn't wait to return because they sounded delicious too. Lots of vegetarian options and other menu items you could make vegetarian by excluding the protein. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

Food is wonderful, staffing numbers are bad. We went at lunch, and the manager instructed the cashier that we had to wait 10 minutes before we could even place our order. We waited, and placed finally our order. After placing our order, we were told that bc they were busy, it would be 20-30 more minutes before we got our food. The poor guys behind us were told they had to wait ANOTHER 10 mins before they could place an order. They finally got fed up and left. Food was great. No complimentary bag of chips or cookie or apology from management for the excessive wait time. So, if you are here for a work lunch, head's up that they are inadequately staffed for the lunch rush it will throw off your schedule. read more

Lunch was fresh and delicious, sandwich bread was fresh baked. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient.

One of my fave cafes. Tried it in Pasadena and now have been to this location like 4-5 times. I'm obsessed with the fresh made focaccia they use on the sandwiches and as a side to the salads. Sometimes I can't resist order a separate full order of bread for the table if I'm feeling carby. Amazing fluffy goodness with that balsamic sauce. My go to's are usually the southwest sandwich, the southwest salad, or the chimichurri steak sandwich. Really haven't not liked anything though. I've also tried the cilantro torta and some of the salmon and poke bowls and those are also yummy and healthy. Love that they are transparent about calories and nutrition facts. Quick friendly service and lots of comfortable booths to eat in. read more

Urbane Cafe has become my go-to spot, especially for the SoCal sandwich. The standout has to be the focaccia bread. It's perfectly soft yet slightly crisp, it really elevates the whole sandwich. I also love the side salad, with the refreshing mandarin slices adding a bright, sweet touch that balances the meal nicely. Service is quick and casual, perfect for a fast lunch or easy takeout. It's also a nice place to dine inside with good lighting and never too crowded. Everything is consistently tasty, and it's a dependable and satisfying spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

I scored big time when I had lunch at Urbane Cafe! I spontaneously picked out this spot for lunch and have no regrets since. Upon walking in, you get hit with the fresh focaccia bread baking in their fire oven. The smell truly induces hunger. The service was wonderful and quick despite experiencing a small lunch rush too. The menu options are healthier and lighter, which is a huge plus as I am trying to eat more nutritious foods when going out! Highly recommend- will come back with friends and family. Chimichurri Steak Sandwich: -The steak was incredibly tender and flavorful! They are not humble with the amount of steak slices you get in this sandwich. The fluffy focaccia bread collected the sauce without becoming soggy. I love the house salad on the side as it truly brings this meal together. read more

Ordered catering for a client that requested Urbane Cafe for lunch. How have I never been here before?? The food was delicious and their GF bread was insane. I was worried that it might not be GF because it was THAT tasty. Shoutout to the catering team that was able to accommodate me by making a last-minute adjustment for my order as well as the manager, Jessica, who was hospitable, friendly, and courteous when I went in to the restaurant to pick up. With hospitality and guest service going to the wind with many restaurants as of late, I had a very refreshing experience. I will definitely be back and adding this establishment to my rotation for business clients as well as my family. read more

I haven't been to UC for awhile. Ordered several fish sandwiches for curbside pickup. When I pulled into the designated parking spot, a very friendly employee came out with my order. She wished me a happy Valentine's Day. Wow, what amazing service! So nice to see the fish sandwich as a special. Wish UC would add it to the regular menu. read more

Usually, we like this place. People are usually nice. There's one lady that always ensures our orders are ready and complete and I'm comfortable when we order because we order online. When she's not there, my wife doesn't get her extra dressing or we don't get the extra bread or we don't get the stuff that we ordered or it's wrong. Today was such a day. I noticed the lady wasn't there. It was another woman young girl, dark hair glasses and I asked about the extra dressing and she looked at me like duh very nonchalant didn't seem to care and said it's in there. I Went out to the car and looked and it wasn't there. I went back in and asked for the dressing. I said it wasn't in there she hands me one and I said thank you and she's walked away continuing to talk to her coworker. very rude. If there is a choice between urbane and somewhere else next time I will definitely keep this in mind. read more
