    High Protein Bowl
    Aja V.

    Fast casual and healthy restaurant, this cafe is very convenient and the food is delicious. I had the protein bowl without the peppers and it was so yummy and filling. I could only eat half for dinner, and finished it that night for my snack. Service was excellent and very helpful. Five stars

    "A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe." Thomas Keller Your food needs true soul to be great. This simple little corner cafe offers so much delicious food made soulfully. It's all made in house and from scratch. Remember the way that grandma used to bake bread; I do. After eating lunch here it's like eating at grandmas house when I was young. Let's venture more into what lunch should taste like. It's unlike any other place that you have had for lunch. It's not only delicious, it's delightful. We dined in and we're greeted promptly as we walked in the door. Our cashier was nice with a positive polite attitude and a great smile. As we ordered she was greeted by her supervisor whom inquired about our day. We informed the staff that this was our first visit and will not be the last. My lunch date decided to opt for a sandwich which comes with a small salad. I decided on the pear salad with added goat cheese. Mmmm, did I mention to you how delicious our lunch was? The salad was amazing. It had fresh avocados and canned pears placed in a bed of fresh greens. I opted to have the chicken on the side, which is a great benefit that they allowed. Everything was made to order. As we sat and waited for our food the lobby was bright and comfortable. The color patterns were very appropriate and appealing to the eye. What's not more to love? Good food that feeds your soul, and lifts your spirit. After eating our lunch we walked out full and happy, not fat and happy. For the food fed us and left our bellies full on life, love and light. Are you looking for a place to feed your soul, not just your appetite? Stop in here for lunch for some greatness.

    Urbane Cafe is a fast-casual restaurant that specializes in refined bowls, salads, soups, and sandwiches at affordable prices. The chain was founded in 2003 in Ventura, CA, and currently has 41 locations in Southern and Central California as well as Nevada (as of December 2025). I'm a regular customer at this Stephanie and Sunset Street location, and despite being surrounded by so many solid competitors offering similar products, the restaurant is usually bustling with activity. In my opinion, the warm customer service and fish offerings at Urbane Cafe truly set them apart from the rest, and I often visit specifically for their mouthwatering fish bowls. Speaking of which, the A Really Good Fish Bowl they recently brought back seems to be a personal love letter to me. It's like having a Southern "meat and three sides" in a bowl with a Southern California twist. I just hope they used grandma's spices and Mississippi River water like the food blogger foodiechina888 on IG & TikTok. Lol.

    Pesto & Sundried Tomato
    Adam G.

    If you're looking for a fresh sandwich or salad, Urbane Cafe has some good options. I ordered a Pesto & Sundried Tomato sandwich. Unfortunately they were short staffed the day we went so we were directed to personless kiosk to place our order, which I'm not a huge fan of. You then take a seat and wait for the food. Took about 10-15 minutes for the food to be ready during the lunch hour. Sandwiches by default come with a small side salad with balsamic dressing. Overall, the food tasted fresh and the portion size was pretty good. The service was a bit haphazard which is the reason for 4 stars.

    Salmon bowl (4/5) and sweet chili crunch chicken sandwich (3/5)
    Allison J.

    Food wasn't bad but portions were small. Salmon bowl (4/5) - salmon was tasty but too small Sweet chili crunch chicken (3/5) - sandwich was really small

    Santa Maria BBQ Chicken Salad
    Susan M.

    Upon entering, we were greeted immediately. We arrive around 11:45 am on a Thursday. Only one other couple was in the restaurant. We used the kiosk to place our order. Easy to use. Our food came out pretty quickly. I think our server was Sarah and she was extremely nice and helpful. This restaurant seems like a great place for a quick healthier meal. The taste of the food was great but could actually use a bit more protein. I think one of the options when ordering is to add an additional portion of the protein. Next time I would, definately for the seared ahi tuna bowl. My husband ate the Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl, I had the St Maria Bbq chicken salad. I would definately go back and would like to try a sandwich.

    Cilantro chicken salad.

    Came in on a Sunday. Wasn't busy. Ordered at kiosk and got food quickly. Very tasty. Dressing wasn't too oily or watery. Will be back to try other salads

    Cilantro Chicken

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon after hiking and wanting to refuel with something clean yet filling. Urban Cafe's salad and bowl selection checked those boxes! I ordered the Cilantro Chicken Salad with blue cheese (bottom). My friend ordered the High Protein Bowl (top). The ingredients were fresh and crisp. The dressing was on the side so I can add as much or little as I want without making the salad soggy. Parking is really easy to find since it's located in a plaza. It seems to be mostly a takeout spot, but if you want to dine in, you self-order at the kiosk, grab your own number, and choose your seat. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a simple, casual meal.

    Southwest sandwich with house salad
    Luke B.

    I don't go to these different locations enough to differentiate one from the other, but I enjoyed this one! Food quality was spot on for what I was expecting, and the cookies were warm and delicious! Service was also very friendly.

    Sweet Chili Crunch Chicken
    Susan L.

    I finally went to see what this this cafe was about and it was ok. It's definitely better than Subway and better pricing than Panera. The big selling point is that they make the focaccia bread in house. It's definitely fresh and I can appreciate that. It has a herb seasoning that isn't rosemary which I liked. The server recommended the Chili Slice Crunch Chicken sandwich as it was back by popular demand. It came with a small side salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I ordered a drink as well. The soda machine had craft sodas instead of the major brands like Coke or Pepsi. I thought the Snozzberry soda was fun. It tasted like a berry soda and more on the sweet side so I opted for the dragon fruit agua fresca later. It was average. The inside seating had high tops which were too high for me, but there were some regular tables to sit in. It was kind of clean, but it had quite a few people coming and going. They bring your food to you and the to go containers were very sturdy which I appreciate. The sandwich itself was good, but more bread than meat ratio. Overall, it's worth trying at least once and if you want a different lunch option that is a bit healthier than a fast food drive through.

    The atmosphere here is warm and inviting. Each staff member is helpful in suggestions and in explaining the details of how their dishes are made and the expressions of how things taste(if you've not tried certain things before). I've dined in and ordered delivery through DoorDash. They make their focaccia bread fresh. It's soft, moist and delicious! I love their ahi bowls and salad options. I've visited a few times with friends and enjoy their craft soda beverage options. They also have craft tea that you can have hot or cold. Their tables and chairs layout is spacious with high table options and low to accommodate folks with wheelchairs. There's also wheelchair access right at their front door.

    Not many (great) vegan options. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken banh mi, however, my tofu was less than par. Very dry, carrots tasted like they came out of a plastic bag (I'm not saying they actually did; trying to provide details). The tofu was cold & didn't even seem like it was cooked (it might have). The bread was also sub par, not very tasty. Service was good. A few people were extremely friendly & a couple of people were not so friendly. The batch sodas tasted very medicinal (not a good thing). All in all, not a place I'd go back to right away. Overall, Thank you Team Urbane Cafe. I appreciate you.

    Goat cheese when specifically requested no cheese due to allergies
    Jeremy A.

    Urbane Cafe's handling of my allergen request was careless and disrespectful. After driving 20 minutes to place a larger order in person and clearly requesting no goat cheese due to an allergy, both salads still came with goat cheese when I got home. When I called to explain the situation, there was no apology, no offer of a credit, and I was told I had to drive back if I wanted it fixed--as if my time and safety didn't matter. To make matters worse, the call was ended on me, which felt extremely unprofessional and dismissive. Overall, this experience showed a complete lack of care for customers with allergies, and I will not be returning or recommending this location.

If the potatoes are so burnt, they are hard, black and you cannot find a potato soft enough to stick a fork in it, then that is just neglectful or you do not care.
