White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie
Ash H.

I've visited Urbane Cafe twice now and it's been a great visit both times. The staff were welcoming and provided great service! On my first visit, I tried the Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl. The tuna tasted fresh and tender and the ponzu and sushi sauce drizzled over the tuna, rice, and veggies was a nice touch. I absolutely loved it! For my second trip, I decided to switch things up and ordered the Club Sandwich. The Club sandwich was pretty good, but I'd probably ask to swap out the cheddar for a different cheese next time. The side salad it came with was just ok. It had mandarin oranges on it, which isn't my preference. I'd probably ask to swap them out for chicken. I also got their White Chocolate Cranberry cookie and I didn't regret it! It was so good and tasted like Christmas came early! Overall, the food was delicious, dessert was divine, and the atmosphere made for the perfect dinner and lunch. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Gluten Free Focaccia
Kali F.

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!

Keto Cobb salad w/chicken
Lu L.

1rst time to Urbane Cafe in Oceanside. Came after reading the good Yelp reviews. Also, appreciate that the manager follows up on the reviews They offer a nice menu of salads,bowls & sandwiches. Had the Keto Cobb Salad & added chicken which was tasty. Nice warm focaccia bread on the side. My friend had the So Cal sandwich. She thought it was too much bread. The chocolate chip cookie afterwards was really yummy & not to be missed Inside & outside dining. In a strip mall off of Vista Way & Jefferson. Plenty of parking in the lot. Order at the counter & take a seat. Metal chairs not the greatest. Otherwise a solid lunch

High Protein Bowl and Salmon Bowl
Sherry B.

Really good! We got the high protein bowl (has 40g of proteins per advertisement) and the salmon bowl. Both were good! The protein ball has chicken slices which weren't dry at all. And the kale sauce is very light and delicious as well. All the ingredients were fresh. A great place for healthy options and it didn't feel heavy at all afterwards.

Storefront

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.

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.

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

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.

Burning bread as the employees ignored the counter and oven.
Christine S.

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.

Always a stop for their crazy beer and drink specials, even on the weekends!…read more Great staff and killer patio beach vibes. Sandwiches are fantastic and we typically split one with a few brews. Definitely one of the best stops in downtown and consistently meets expectations.

My family and I decided to spend a day in Oceanside and wanted to take some sandwiches and goodies…read morewith us on the beach for lunch. Yelp led us to Beach Hut Deli and they definitely did not disappoint. We called our order in ahead of time for pickup. The process was easy and the staff member we spoke with on the phone to place the order was friendly and patient with our questions. The estimated pickup time of our order was accurate and extremely easy to retrieve. The inside space was themed well and had ample seating for any customers looking to dine in. Our sandwiches were a good size and appropriately filled with the components of the sandwiches we ordered. Our order consisted of - Beach Comber (with turkey and roast beef) - Santa Cruz My sandwich was the Santa Cruz and was well constructed and tasty. I was able to eat it in two servings, so the sandwich definitely had the potential for sharing. Ingredients tasted of good quality and were fresh. Solid sandwich! Prices were a little high, but I understand that is given based on the location, especially their location, since they have a prime spot not too far from the beach. Beach Hut Deli is a quality sandwich spot in Oceanside. We would likely return in the future if we were in the mood for sandwiches on the beach again. One thing to note is that parking could be a challenge to find, so this may be something to consider if you're deciding to stop by.
