Me and my boyfriend come here all the time. Food is always good, especially their focaccia bread. Employees are always nice and the place is clean. Definitely one of our favorite spots. read more

I'm a senior so my appetite is small. I always order the kids meal turkey sandwich with out cheese and without mayo. I can't have dairy. They always get it right. I love the focaccia bread it comes on. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming. This is a great place. Sometimes I take it to go and sometimes I eat in the cafe. read more

Great fast casual spot with many healthy options! The Salmon Bowl is my favorite but I've also had the Protein Bowl which was good too! They have gluten free focaccia you can add on the side of your bowl or use for a sandwich. It's not my favorite to eat on its own with the bowl, but I think it would make a really good sandwich bread. I typically stop here after doing a bit of shopping in the plaza so by the time I arrive I'm HANGRY! But the team is always so kind and helpful and the food comes out fast that I instantly forget my bad mood. I'll continue to be a regular here! read more

The food itself was 5 stars, but with a multitude of shortcomings elsewhere, there's no way I can give this review more than 4 stars despite the overall rating indicating so. I was heading out of town for the holidays, and I wanted to stop by this Urbane Cafe since I had been to three other locations, one also in San Diego County, that have all opened this past year. This location in Oceanside is a little older, opening about a couple of years ago. This Urbane Cafe is just east of Pacific Coast Plaza close to where the 5 and 78 freeways meet, but closer to the even numbered freeway. Take the Jefferson exit and head north, but make sure you turn left immediately afterwards! I missed that left turn the first time, so I had to make my way around. I came on Christmas Eve for lunch, and there was plenty of parking in front even though the lot is nowhere near as spacious as Pacific Coast Plaza. After parking my car, I made my order in the app. So far, my first entree at any Urbane Cafe location I patronize has been a salmon entree, either a bowl or a salad. I was searching for the Salmon Salad on the menu, but couldn't find it anymore! I believe it was recently removed from the menu, but luckily, they still offered the Salmon Bowl, which is now the only salmon entree on their menu. While I was placing my order of the Salmon Bowl, I noticed that the BBQ Tri Tip and Chimichurri Steak sandwiches were not available at this time; the reason wasn't clear, but I'm thinking it's because they didn't have sufficient ingredients to make these sandwiches anymore. Suddenly, the dynamics of their menu make me wonder if Urbane Cafe will no longer offer salmon at all sometime in the near future?! Hopefully not! The app estimated a 15-minute wait for the Salmon Bowl, but I came in a few minutes after I placed my order. The number above their front door didn't match the address number, so I asked an employee at the pickup counter to confirm this was the correct location. It was, and not only that, he noticed that my order was close to being done. This was about 10 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, so I was pleasantly surprised at how quick they were at preparing my order! I had just enough time to use the restroom before my order was ready, but unfortunately, the first red flag that was raised was the lack of toilet paper in the restroom! I had to use a paper towel instead and let that employee know when he handed me my order. To put this into context, there were only one or two other customers inside, nowhere near as busy as the San Marcos location when I went about four months prior. This was only just the onset of the overall lack of service, normally a strength of Urbane Cafe, but unfortunately a pain point at this location. Luckily, the Salmon Bowl was very delicious and fresh, which saves this review from being 3 stars out of 5. In fact, I'd say this was the best Salmon Bowl I had compared to the Long Beach (Exchange) and San Marcos locations. All the ingredients worked well together, even the sweet potatoes, which I'm normally not a fan of, but this location proved me wrong this time! There was a decent amount of sauce in my Salmon Bowl, and I could have used a little more. This is where things got a little aggravating because at the rear counter, they only had lids, but no cups for their hot sauces. Quite the misnomer of the name "urbane" to omit cups for their sauces! I thought about letting an employee know, but the employees there were more focused on themselves rather than the customers. I don't know what was going on at the time, but they were also careless enough to leave a weekly memo on one of their four tables inside! For a good amount of time, I was the only customer inside enjoying my meal, yet the employees were still focused on their own to-do lists, so they weren't consistent at welcoming customers who came in. None of them even checked on me, which was quite a surprise as I thought I would have kept them company on a day when they'd be off work at 3 PM. They have an outdoor patio outside, and it has more than twice as many tables as inside! However, since it was wet outside, nobody would have eaten there anyways. I got lucky there were a couple open tables for me to eat at, and that doesn't even include the table that had their weekly memo on it! Anyways, like I said, if the food wasn't as good, I would have given 3 stars out of 5 instead of 4. The focaccia bread wasn't bad, but also not as flavorful compared to the other ones I've had before. Not having cups for the hot sauces was a missed opportunity here because I could have used some for that focaccia bread! I also got a chocolate chip cookie, which was fortunately free thanks to a promo that was only valid for the Oceanside, Encinitas, and San Marcos locations up until New Years Eve. Urbane Cafe's chocolate chip cookies are must haves; however, this one, while larger, wasn't as flavorful and could have been baked a little longer. read more

A very good casual option that checks most boxes. i think their bowls are their best options, then their salads, then sandwiches in that order. Salads tend to be too big to eat in one sitting.. - pricing was reasonable for the quality. - unique fountain drink options and lemonades. read more

Parking is easy, in a good part of town, quick service, and friendly enough costumer service. I got the cafe salad, goat cheese, avocado, pears, walnuts, and chicken, and a drink for $17 The food was done fast, and It was good. The ingredients should of worked together, because they were fresh, and the balsamic it came with was good. I was told by a friend that their sandwiches are better, but I didn't love the salad at all. It was very bland and sad. Not enough goat cheese and the balsamic needed some sort of sweetness besides the pears to make it better. It was just so bland, the chicken was just boiled breast, no seasonings. Even though I didn't even finish the salad, I don't think they deserve 3 stars because it was edible just not flavorful at all so I'm giving 4, I probably ordered the wrong thing I guess read more

Bummed! My husband recently tried Urbane Cafe for his first time (solo) and said it was really good so I was looking forward to not having to cook tonight and trying it for myself. I ordered two of the Keto Cobb salads with no modifications or anything fancy. Upon pick up, the staff informed my husband that they ran out of eggs and only had enough egg for one salad. He said that they were apologetic and offered a different protein, however no refund was offered (nor did my husband ask). I was disappointed that the store didn't contact me to let me know they ran out of egg ahead of time, at which point I probably would've chosen a different meal altogether. Also, the focaccia bread that is meant to come with the salads was not included in the bag. The blue cheese dressing was watery with little crumbles of blue cheese at the bottom - it tasted fine but the consistency was off-putting. While the price point for the salads is pretty good for today's dining market, there was so much missing and lacking from our meals I definitely won't be racing to return. read more

Been here a number of times with a great experience. However, this time, I stood at the counter for several minutes waiting to order. No acknowledgement. There were 3 employees in the store, 2 behind the counter and 1 bussing tables. And only 3 tables of customers in the entire store. I watched the focaccia bread in the oven as it was burning from lack of attention. I even called out and said hey your bread is burning and the guy behind the counter didn't seem to care. When I finally got his attention, he dumped two loaves into the trash and then came to take my order. Clearly the employees at this location need training on priorities. read more

Urbane is early accessible with plenty of parking. There's plenty of seating but when i came on a Saturday night, no one was eating inside. They were preparing mostly take out. I got the Ahi tuna salad. They packaged it well. The portions were big. The tuna was seared just right. It was tender. They added homemade bread. Yum! There is nothing over 13.95 here. This place is my new favorite. Service was also very good. read more

Sandwiches have been my vibe lately. We ordered Urbane to be delivered to a work event (it was supposed to take 20 minutes but took over an hour). The food was great though! They have four vegetarian sandwich options - I got 'The Californian' with artichokes, avocado, sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, and lettuce. It comes with a side salad and generous amount of dressing on the side. Portions are great, I finished the whole thing and was pretty full. read more

I come here once or twice a month and the service and food is amazing. Never had a bad experience here.

This is for takeout. Ordered a tofu banh mi and added avocado, and a chimichurri steak. The pickled veggies on the banh mi were crunchy and tangy, the tofu had a good texture. The problem was the avocado which was a smear and off color. Very disappointed as the other veggies were spot on, and I paid extra for something that was better left off. The steak was tasty. read more

Our first time at Urbane Cafe was delightful, and we've already decided we'll pop back in when we're in the area. We were looking for a light and healthy option during the heat wave this weekend, and these flavor-packed salads did not disappoint! Quick service, friendly staff, clean and tidy indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend for a quick, light bite! We had the Keto Cobb with steak, and the Crunchy Peanut salad, both served with delicious warm focaccia. read more

Our first visit to Urbane Cafe and we were all very happy with our food and with our experience. We were a party of 4 and we had the pesto and sun dried tomato (w chicken), the antioxidant salad w gluten free focaccia bread, The Cafe salad w chicken, and the crunchy peanut salad. I had the peanut salad and it also had chicken and was delicious. I will have that again for sure but also want to try some of the other menu items too. Service was great, counter staff were prompt and friendly and the inside was very bright and clean. A nice well lit patio as well for outside dining. They also had some nice soft drinks that weren't run of the mill. Lemonade was great. read more

haven't tried one of their sandwiches yet but with their multi-tasking menu the difference between a salad and a sandwich is bowl vs. bread. URBANE CAFE's salads (and we've shared four in our two visits) come with a wedge of freshly baked, gluten-free focaccia. the POWER VEGGIE SALAD (mixed greens, bean and corn salsa, vegan feta, pecans, garbanzos, edamame, and roasted sweet potatoes comes with a balsamic vinaigrette. the SANTA MARIA BBQ CHICKEN SALAD (mixed greens, bacon, goat cheese, bean and corn salsa, grape tomatoes, and BBQ sauce comes with a chipotle ranch dressing. the CAFE SALAD (roasted chicken, mixed greens, avocado, crumbled goat cheese, pears, and pecans comes with balsamic vinaigrette. the CRUNCHY PEANUT SALAD (chicken, baby greens, cucumbers, carrots, edamame, mandarin oranges, and honey roasted peanuts come with a peanut dressing. they're all good and taste exactly like you'd imagine given the ingredient list. a fresh, light option especially if the alternative is a burger and fries. so if you're not totally starving, here's a place to go for a lunch that won't leave you feeling like you snake-jointed your jaw and swallowed a bowling ball without chewing. read more

I love their salmon bowl and their salmon salad. All fresh ingredients. The salmon is always cooked perfectlyand you get a pretty big portion. Don't forget to add a slice of their freshly baked bread. For your drink try their Dragonfruit Agua Fresca. Ordering using their mobile app is so quick and easy. I highly recommend this place. read more

I was happy to learn that a new urbane cafe was opening in Oceanside as I go to the one in Encinitas sometimes. I received an opening promotion so i decided to grab an early dinner. When I walked in I was greeted immediately and was asked if I had been to an urbane cafe before and I have. To get the promotion, I had to order through the app but it wasn't letting me. The girl taking my order was super helpful and was patient until I got it to work. As I waited they were passing out samples of their chocolate chip cookies, all of their cookies are so good but lemon is my favorite. Everyone was enjoying their food and the sample cookies. I just got a keto Cobb. I love a good Cobb salad and this was no exception. They include warm focaccia bread and I love that the dressing comes on the side so the salad isn't soggy. It's so quick, easy and delicious that's it's a no brainer for me when I want a salad read more

I was passing by the area and realized that Oceanside now has a new café open. Urbane Café is now opened (as of December 2023) and they have replaced Starbucks on Vista Way & Jefferson Ave (near the 78). Urbane Café is a fast-food establishment with healthier options. They can be found in many other cities and they are known for their sandwiches, soups, salads and food bowls. At this location, Urbane Café has a little outside patio seating, a few tables for inside seating and they seem to specialize in food orders TO-GO. They can online orders as well and their PICK-UP service allows for customers to simply walk-in, pick-up their food and leave, all without having to engage with anyone. The interior is small & quite cramped for crowds, but is great for a few people seating. Their decor is modern & simple and their wall menu has detailed photos to help you choose your meal. Their customer service is impeccable and everyone was greeted at the door and they were patient with my inquiries. A++ Urbane Café also was having a "Teachers Appreciation" Special for a FREE MEAL and I like that they even have a promotion like this. Once ordered, my food came to me in under 12 minutes and I like that they have a drink fountain with a nice variety of flavors, including "Shirley Temple" I ordered an Ahi Salad with the Japanese dressing and it was amazing! It was fresh, tasty and the portion was gigantic for me. It was under $14 too. I also got a sample of the Baja Enchilada soup and it was delicious; as was their cookies. I also love that their menu was easily suited for meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans and there was even a gluten-free option for dietary restrictions. The ONLY *ding* I could give them is that they are a "café" and don't have coffee on their menu They currently open at 10:00AM, but I can see them doing okay if they opened earlier. Overall, I really like this addition to the Oceanside dining scene; especially for this area and I'll be returning to Urbane Café in the future. read more

It's SO GREAT to have a healthy option in the area (boy do I miss Souplantation)! Let's start with how to get here. LOCATION. Off the 78 freeway (Jefferson) in the same plaza as McDonalds and Chevron. They took over the old Starbucks on the corner facing the gas station. SERVICE. The menu is on the left right when you walk in (on the giant wall). If there are a lot of people looking, it creates a bit of a bottleneck right at the entrance. Grab the takeout menu outside before going in. Seating is limited inside, but there's plenty of seating outside. FOOD. Salmon bowl ($13.50). This bowl is my new fave. It's a good balanced portion Comes with complimentary (gluten-free) focaccia bread, it's so good! If you download their app and sign up - you get rewards! I just got my free drink and cookie after my first visit (spent $30). The craft soda is DELICIOUS and the cookie was perfect (served warm). FOOD. * Salmon bowl ($13.50). This is my fave. It's a good balanced portion and even though it doesn't look like much, it's filling. It also comes with complimentary (gluten-free) focaccia bread, get it! It's so good! I look forward to trying all the other options. Welcome to the neighborhood Urbane! read more

Great food, excellent and friendly customer service. Prompt with greeting me and clean environment. Love this restaurant and the menu.

We have been to other locations of Urbane Cafe so we're excited to see one was going to be local for a healthyish option. We arrived on a Friday around 4pm. Since we were going to have lots of snacks at the movie later we opted to split the Cranberry Brie Turkey sandwich. Service was friendly and I thought the pricing fair. Suggested gratuities were 5, 10, and 15 percent which was very fair for an order at the counter and food delivered model. While we waited for our meal, they brought us warm baby sample cookies that were delicious. The food arrived and the sandwich was served with a generous portion of side salad. Splitting provided a light meal or heavy snack. The taste of the sandwich was phenomenal and the bread was really fresh. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back as there are lots more I want to try (although it will be hard to resist reordering the cranberry brie again). read more
