    Club sandwich
    Norma D.

    Grabbed a quick bite for lunch and stopped by here. I ordered the club sandwich with house salad. It was really good and very filling. Enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The manager was very helpful and polite. I was here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. I'll be back.

    I went here after shopping at the mall and wanted something close with vegetarian options. The service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly, although it was a little sloppy. I ordered the Bella Portobello sandwich and did not care for it or the bread, which should have been warmed or toasted. The salad was mediocre at best. My husband's soup was not hot, only barely warm, but he did enjoy his sandwich. The soup tasted good, just not at the right temperature. Overall, it was decent but nothing special. They need to tighten up those small details to create a more enjoyable experience.

    Salmon Bowl
    Heather D.

    We came here for a late lunch, looking for something light. I tried the salmon bowl which I loved! The bowl came with a quinoa mix, sweet potato, and edamame. The salmon was also a generous portion. I added some siracha to give it some spice, but I loved this dish and would order again! The cookies are also always so fresh, so don't forget to get one! The workers at this location I thought were very friendly and personable which made for a great experience.

    Antioxidant Salad w/ Steak, Santa Maria BBQ Chicken Salad, BBQ Tri Tip Steak Sandwich
    Samantha W.

    Service was excellent. Super friendly. We ordered the antioxidant salad w/ steak, bbq chicken sandwich and the tri tip sandwich. The antioxidant salad was good. Ingredients were fresh. I liked the fennel and apple in it. The dried blueberries were good too. I like that the dressing comes on the side so you're able to control how much you add. Out of the 2 sandwiches - the tri tip sandwich was much yummier than the bbq chicken sandwich. I also thought it was nice that they include the total calories for each item.

    Chimichurri Steak
    Bob W.

    My son wanted to eat at a place next to Urbane but I didn't want that so I stopped in for dinner. Decided on the Chimichurri Steak Sandi and It came with a mixed green salad with a balsamic dressing. Both the sandwich and salad were fresh and tasty. The beef was a bit bland though but nothing a little salt couldn't fix. They weren't busy but still took 15 minutes to get my order which is why it's four stars instead of five. Very limited seating but they have some tables outside.

    After a fun early evening hosted by the city of El Cajon Police at the parkway plaza I was hungry! All that dancing to an 80s cover band had me working up an appetite! Mozied on over to UrbanCafe. Surprisingly it was empty at 8pm on a Tuesday. Staff was very friendly! Wanting to be healthy I ordered an ahi tuna salad to go and had a bag of honey Dijon potato chips - yep- they got me with an impulse buy! The chips were yummy but I was Dissappointed to see how expensive the small bag was at $2.99! The salsa was the perfect size. Not too much, not too little. I was even pleasantly surprised at the amount of ahi included. (I was concerned it wouldn't be enough!) The salad included avacado and a weird amount of it on the side. In all, I enjoyed the salad. Had the dressing on the side which worked well as I could also dip the bread in it. While I do think $18 for a salad and chips (no drink) iis expensive, I did enjoy the meal..

    Glazed Salmon Bowl

    This was me and my man's first time here and it was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE ! We got recommendations from Colton nice kid very helpful and friendly this guy deserves a raise ! The ambiance was clean and a homey kind of feel. The food was AMAZING I can't get over how bomb the sandwich was and I'm so happy my man loved the salmon bowl he's allergic to dairy so this is the perfect place for us. I really appreciate you guys having so many GREAT DRINKS TO CHOOSE FROM. They got me and my man with the Shirley timple and the cucumber chili limonade OMG ! Fire!! I don't ever want to eat subway EVER AGAIN ! lol

    Do you have delivery through grub hub or Uber eats? How much is delivery and what is the minimum?

    Hi Debi- We do use Grub Hub and Door Dash. The best way to find out that information is to log on to their app. It might differ depending on your location and how far the delivery is. Thank you!

    Do they have gluten free breads?

    Hi Sarah - Our bread is not gluten free but we can make our sandwiches gluten free by lettuce wrapping them. I have been on the Chef's case about a new recipe and I will remind him again. :)

    These guys have been a reliable place to get a very good sandwich for some time now. I did not know…read morethat they had one available in East County too, however. I ordered the Sky Park Sandwich on Wheat. It comes with EverRoast Boar's Head sliced chicken breast, Pepper Jack Cheese, and bacon. You can add more ingredients if you like off a list. I added red onions, tomatoes, and lettuce with oil and vinegar for $13.49 plus tax. You can choose from a little side of macaroni or potato salad. The sandwich was very good, but they did add alfalfa sprouts in the sandwich. There must have been a miscommunication when I said now way to the sprouts. I picked out the most I could. The deli chicken was very tasty and so was the Pepper Jack Cheese. I liked the wheat bread but it was a little on the dry side. I expected it to be a little moister, but it did tasty good. Overall, the sand was good. The service was good, too. The young man did a good job explaining the process and did a good job putting the sandwich together with the exception of the sprouts.

Edit: You can look for my car in the parking lot circling around 10-15 minutes working around the tow truck, even waiting in the lot and then moving as other cars were trying to navigate their way around the lot. The food here is good that it was worth it in my eyes even with this inconvenience. I drive all the way from East county to come here because there aren't other spots like this. Regarding the incident, I can easily provide Life360 map pictures to show my drive, route and duration if you would like actual proof. I was told that the 2 scoops would be 9.99 by the woman. The single scoops are 6.99. I'm aware of this. I asked that the 2 scoops be in 2 separate cups so that my friend and I can share - not that I got 2 separate single servings. Then I got rung up at 13.98 in the front by the cashier. But you know what.. Good to know that this is how you respond to people as a business owner; it's actually so sad that you responded the way you did because instead of looking for clarification, you decided to say that I was not being honest.

The customer service is always friendly, welcoming, and genuine -- the kind of neighborhood energy you just don't get everywhere anymore. It's not a huge space inside and the decor is a little outdated, but honestly that's part of the charm. This is a small business with a BIG impact, and the community clearly supports them because the food quality speaks for itself -- everything is fresh. My go-to order is the Big Chomp on a lettuce wrap when I'm trying to cut carbs but still want to be full. They split open a head of crisp iceberg lettuce and pack it with meats like turkey and beef, plus all the sandwich veggies -- onions, tomatoes, pickles -- and whatever condiments you want. It's crunchy, refreshing, and so satisfying that you honestly don't even miss the bread. Now when I'm extra hungry, their breads are fresh and the sandwiches are top-notch across the board. You really can't go wrong. Just a heads up -- they close at 3 PM daily, so if you're not there by then, you'll have to catch them another day. You can call ahead or stop in, but either way you won't be disappointed. PSA: Don't forget to grab a sandwich punch card. Rack up those punches and you'll earn a free sandwich. Thank me later
