    Urbane Café - Great Post-Workout Lunch Spot! I stopped by Urban Café after a workout and ordered the pastrami tip sandwich with a side salad -- and it was absolutely delicious. The sandwich came with a honey mustard sauce that really brought everything together, and the bread was soft and fresh. For about $13.55, it was a solid deal. The place is clean and has a friendly vibe. You order at the counter, take a number card to your table, and they bring the food out to you. I also used the restroom to wash up before eating and it was clean and presentable. I definitely plan to come back and try another sandwich. For a quick, tasty lunch in a casual setting, this spot hits the mark.

    Oh my gosh--the food here is so good! I had the chimichurri steak sandwich, and my husband had the pastrami. Both came with a small side salad, which was a nice touch. Even the cashier was super friendly and helpful. Easy 5 out of 5!

    This is a go to spot after I get my braces adjusted. I get the Ben with either the chips or the salad. Or you can have fruit. I tend to opt out from the fruit so I couldn't speak on what that's like. It's right off the Kids Menu. I get it because it's kind of an upscale grilled cheese and it has bbq sauce and chicken....And because it's one of the softer option...Hence it's ideal for just after the Ortho adjustments :-) I love the focaccia bread. The staffers are friendly enough, the place kept well managed, & has a nice open floor plan if you like to dine in. It has bench wall seats and high top style tables. The only thing today was the soap was out in the unisex bathroom that I went into (I let the young lady know & she received the information kindly) My chicken had some cold spots so as I'm sure the tender chicken "cold cut" pieces just needed some extra time on the heat. I didn't mention that to the staff. I'm pretty sure the chicken was just cool and not a raw type situation. So it wasn't that big of a deal. A little bit warmer and it would've been perfect. What I found adorable was some kids thought the bread was pizza. What a novice idea! I bet the bread would make a lovely individual mini pizza for the kiddos. The kid at heart in me would probably order that if something like that ever became a thing here. Chill dinning experience and this time I gobbled it all up. Sometimes I get a side soup too. Also, I mentioned to the Hubs that if it wasn't for an official Yelp event here (years ago) I wouldn't have even known about this exact place. We've been to the O'side one as well. That's a newer location. Lots of pick up/take out orders here. Check them out!

    Great service and food! Lovely, clean environment in Encinitas! Great cookies and salad

    UC Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich...delicious!
    Charles H.

    Seriously- the perfect lunch place. First time ever here. Didn't realize it was a chain, because it didn't feel like one. Went with the Chicken Bahn Mi and side salad. Everything was super fresh and delicious, and the price was reasonable. The little red peppers in the sando have a kick! The side salad with the mandarins and feta was simple and perfect. A welcome break from fries. Super stoked to know there's a closer one in Mira Mesa.

    Tri tip Pastrami sandwich
    Lyn V.

    We were in the area and about to go to Cava since that is our favorite spot but decided to see what this place was about. So glad we do! Customer service was good and the food was delicious as well. I was fulfilled with my salmon bowl. I also had a bite of the tri tip pastrami sandwich, pretty good. The food did not disappoint

    Good variety of menu. Counter help couldn't answer what kind of salmon, food was tasty but too much sauce for my liking. Love the bread

    Chimichurri Steak Sandwich
    Colin T.

    After a long days work of watching friends and spouse at tennis camp, what better way to refuel than healthy salad and a filling sando? The restaurant has a pleasant sit down style layout with more cushy seats on the far wall, but we weren't just looking for a place for its looks. Our cashier took our orders with lightning speed and we got our food in less than 10 minutes with 5 ppl ordering. Service to get seated was *chef's kiss*. Wife ordered the steak chimichurri sando and I got the keto salad with extra meat. HIT THE SPOT. After nearing food coma, we brought our plates back to its storage home for clean up near the exit, and went back home on our merry way. Would I come back here? You darn right I will. Let's go!!

    UC Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich... yum
    Peter I.

    Big fan of the food and service here. The bahn Mai sandwich has so many flavors and last night we both had the Santa Maria bbq chicken salad. Again so fresh and truly enough for two. The inside is always spotless and table service is great. Order up front and it's brought to you. Add a cookie if you dare as you'll want 10! Good spot. Going to try the bowls next!

    Cilantro chicken salad
    Krystal B.

    Decent salad. Ordered the cilantro chicken salad, minus the bean salsa. The cilantro vinaigrette is a more oily and sweet than I'd prefer, but pairs well with the salad. I also opened for the super greens to enhance the nutritional value since the other ingredients are fairly minimal. Just cheese, avocado, green mix and chicken. Perfect for a cleansing salad that's easy on the stomach. They accommodated my swaps, it was quickly prepared and packaged securely, service wise.

    See all

Their spouses have no clue about this MLM side-gig. They asked me to record the meeting minutes: {*meeting called to order. Attendees present: Alexandra, Isabella, Anastasia, and Biancia*} 1) Isabella has a secret recording of the Regional Manager saying something mildly inappropriate and the group agreed they should keep it, "just in case". Action Item: make a backup copy 2) Biancia whispers "I'm so gonna crush it" to her cat before every Zoom. Action Item: no actions necessary 3) Even better, Alexandra practices her sales pitch using the Chipotle guy. Action Item: also try with the Amazon guy 4) Shortly before the meeting, Isabella texted she was "on her way" when she was still fully horizontal in bed. Action item: don't binge-watch midnight chick flicks while ugly-crying about that guy from Vegas who ghosted you in 1999 5) Bianca came clean that she sometimes writes "per my last email" when there was never a last email. Action Item: the group agreed this has never fooled anyone 6) Alexandra left last week's happy hour early, went home to immediately online-stalk those who stayed to see if it got better without her. Action Item: it always does 7) Isabella is still smoking the Sativa that she found in the HR director's desk drawer. Action Item: there's no "I" in "team" but there IS "we" in "weed" 8) Long before joining the group, Anastasia was in a cult for the free food, then ratted them out to the Feds for the reward cash.

We ended up grabbing seats at the bar, which was a great choice. We ordered the: *Fig Burger with Brussels Sprouts: the Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. They had what tasted like pecans, some kind of glaze, and cheese... seriously so good. The Fig Burger itself was just as impressive with such a unique combo and absolutely delicious. *Steak Sandwich with Onion Rings: this was also a standout. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and came with a great dipping sauce that really tied it all together. The onion rings were crispy and on point too. First off, I love that they offer a variety of sides (sweet potato fries, truffle fries, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, etc.), though most come with a small upcharge. We had a few drinks and even grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar to take back to our Airbnb, which was a nice bonus. The vibe was relaxed with TVs playing highlights from a basketball game, and the bartender/server was awesome. Parking was easy with free street parking, though that might've been because it was late and a holiday. Only heads up: definitely call ahead about kitchen and closing times, especially on holidays. Online said they close at midnight, but they were actually closing at 11 PM. We were told over the phone the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM, but when we arrived at 9:30 PM, it had just switched to last call. Thankfully, they were kind enough to still get our order in. Overall, phenomenal food, great service, and a solid spot worth checking out. Would definitely come back.
