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

White chocolate cranberry cookie
Betty G.

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.

Salmon Bowl
Samantha C.

They have the best bowls! The salmon bowl & ahi bowl are so good. Veggies are really fresh and they always have good sauces and dressings. Great service!

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!

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.

Baja Bowl
Heather D.

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!

Cilantro Chicken and soup

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!

Cheese Pizza
Mark T.

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!

Store Front
Roselia G.

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!

The Ahi Salad
Chris D.

The salad was nice and fresh with crisp veg. I wouldn't get the ahi again though. It seemed old. Place was clean and tidy and staff were pleasant.

Shawna H.

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.

Is gluten free bread available for the sandwiches?

Hi Matthew, thank you for your question. We go have gluten-free bread available for all of our menu items. We know you'll love it!

Is your salmon wild or farmed? If wild, is it Alaskan wild?

Hi Bri, thanks so much for asking! Our salmon is farmed Norwegian salmon.

Do you have vegan and vegetarian options that have no onion/garlic/scallions/chives/etc? I am allergic 😩

Hi Marie - Thank you for being our guest. Most of our based ingredients do contain onions. But you could get the Bella portobello sandwich, grilled cheese, power veggie salad (minus the corn and black bean salsa) abbots salad (minus corn and black… 

I can't eat cilantro and it looks like it is hidden in sauces, chutneys and aioli, etc. can I order a no cilantro item with still getting flavor or will it be a dry bland salad or sandwich?

Hi There! Yes you can order something without cilantro and it will be very tasty! You can order our pesto & Sun dried tomato sandwich, Turkey Cranberry Brie, Club, Chimmichurri Steak, Urbane Cobb, Cafe Salad or side salad. Those all are without…

Mendocino is an "order at the counter and find a seat" place. They will bring the food to you. It felt like a long time waiting for our food this time.

Last week, I ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Summer Peaches salad to-go. When I arrived home and opened the container, the bowl contained nothing but wilted mixed greens and peaches. There was no chicken, almonds, pickled onions, or fennel. I paid $16 for lettuce, peaches, and salad dressing. I called the Aliso Creek location and the employee who answered suggested I return to swap it out, but after a long day, I was too exhausted to make the trip back. He then took my contact information and assured me his manager, John, would follow up to issue a gift card for my next visit. John never called. Mistakes happen in food prep, but combining a $16 order that was missing almost every major ingredient with completely nonexistent customer follow-through is unacceptable. I finally understand why the recent reviews haven't been great. Sadly, after being reliable regulars, our family won't be ordering from Mendocino Farms again.

We made a reservation for eight people including a toddler and an infant and were never told we would be seated outside in 87 degree heat. When we asked about it the hostess got defensive and told us we hadn't specified inside or outside. We're traveling and have never been here. Sorry but customers shouldn't have to know they need to specify that. Honestly it felt like that interaction set the tone for how our table was treated from the start. Water took ages and cocktails took even longer. No one checked on us, cleared the table or offered another round. An hour in we had to ask about the drinks, and out of our being politeness we didn't ask about the food. Trying to give benefit of doubt, again. The kids food was the last to come out Restaurant 101. Feed the tiny customers first, keep ALL customers outside the table even, happy. My entire meal was a five wing starter that had clearly been forgotten. Instead of just admitting it and apologizing we were told they were coming. They finally arrived as everyone else was finishing so my starter was quite literally the finisher. Then the check came and we waited another 20 minutes for someone to come back so we could actually pay and leave. The food was average but the service made the entire experience not worth it. Plenty of franchises do customer service far better, so I'd suggest people check out BJs or Cheesecake Factory even a ruby's would have been better. Sometimes customer service can be taught. Sometimes apparently it can't be. Won't be back. Hope this helps.
