Ivan was super friendly and helped me decide what to order. The Bahn Mi sandwich was delicious.

Great sandwiches and fresh Salads Almost every time we go we are attended by the GM Lidia Garcia or Emily - thank you for your hospitality. read more

If you want healthy fast food (I know it's a bit of an oxymoron but bear with me here), you really need to come here. Depending on what you get, it can either be pricey or reasonable. I usually get the chicken sandwich but this particular visit I wanted to try to the turkey Brie cranberry sandwich. It came out hot and perfect and it wasn't too sweet or dry! The staff was amazing and the restaurant was clean! It does get super busy during the lunch hour rush so beware. I highly recommend! read more

why go to panera, if there's an urbane cafe? unless you're looking for specific pastries, i get it, but the salads and sandwiches here are top tier. I'm literally in love with their freshly baked focaccia and bell pepper hummus. If you love salads, i can't recommend this enough. and if salads aren't your thing, you can't go wrong with their sandwiches. read more

Urbane Cafe - Crunchy Peanut Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

This was a quick and easy place for lunch. When I arrived on a Tuesday at 1pm, there was no wait and plenty of tables. Service was friendly. There's 90 minutes free parking behind the restaurant in the large lot that's shared with other businesses. I got "The Cafe" salad with chicken, avocado, goat cheese, pears, pecans, balsamic vinaigrette on the side and a piece of focaccia bread. It was a large salad and they did not skimp on the ingredients. Everything including the bread was good and fresh. read more

Good service, quality great! Food was good but there's a lot of cheese if you don't like cheese this is not the place for you. Inside was nice but they have a big section where they're just packing to go orders which is kind of off putting because you have to walk past that to get to the fountain drinks. Overall would come again! read more

The food always tastes so fresh and healthy. A bit pricey, but once in a while is ok for this. Lots of tables and seating both inside and outside. You order at the kiosk and grab a table number. The server brings your food, and once you're done, clean up after yourself! Parking is a big lot behind shared with several businesses. read more

Urbane Cafe is still one of my favorite spots for a healthy and tasty meal. Lately I've been ordering the Crunchy Peanut Salad. It comes with marinated cilantro chicken, mixed greens, coleslaw mix, cucumbers, pickled carrots, edamame, mandarin oranges, crispy onions, and honey roasted peanuts (the best part lol). The peanut dressing is really good too. The salad portions are pretty large. The customer service is always great. They recently added 2 kiosks to order from. The restaurant is clean and well kept. read more

Ordered doordash and my order came pretty fast in less than an hour! Pricing was reasonable and most items were $15+. There was a good variety of sandwiches, bowls, salads, and soups The Chimichurri Steak Sandwich ($16.85) was ok. The steak didn't taste like steak and just seemed like roast beef. I was expecting the quality of the steak and the portion of the sandwich to be bigger since it was quite pricey. The Chimichurri was ok and a little bland. The bread tasted pretty fresh and soft so that was pretty good! Overall, the sandwich was not too impressive so it was 6/10 The sandwich comes with a side of salad but I paid extra $5.40 for a side of tomato bisque soup instead. The soup was very creamy and delicious! It tasted very fresh and flavorful without being too salty. This was 8/10 The Dragonfruit Agua Fresca ($3.95) was ok and not too sweet. It was refreshing but it tasted artificial and wasn't made with real dragonfruit so this was 6/10 The chocolate chip cookie ($3.75) was amazing! It was so soft and fresh! Definitely my favorite item in the meal! Definitely recommend and would get again! This was 10/10 Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the sandwich so I most likely won't recommend or return unless I'm craving their cookies! Those are definitely a must get! read more

Tried out Urbane Cafe for lunch since I wanted something healthy. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad and my boss ordered the salmon salad. Urbane Cafe was SUPER generous with the ahi tuna slices in my salad. This is a new spot for me to go to since everything is so healthy + fresh here. The portions sizes LOOK small but actually fill you up quickly. I'll be back soon :-) read more

I went to Urban Café on a Sunday and had a great experience. I was greeted at the back entrance (there are two entrances). As soon as you step inside, the aroma of their fresh bread fills the air. They offer patio seating in the front and a good amount of seating inside. The menu has a great selection of healthy options--salads, sandwiches, and even some guilty pleasures like cookies. My recommendation: try the Crunchy Peanut Salad. It's flavorful, filling, and absolutely delicious. The Ahi Salad is also really good. I'm already planning to go back because they have tofu options as well as keto-friendly choices. The customer service stood out--they clear tables promptly, check in to see if you need anything, and create a welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere. It's casual dining, not pretentious, just really good food. Parking is available in the front and back. The back lot offers free parking for 90 minutes and usually has more availability. read more

Clean healthy salmon bowl with mixed whole grain rice, marinated kale, roasted sweet potatoes, and edamame. What more could you want. Fast service too. I get it at least once every week. I need to try some other items but that one works for me. UPDATE: Baja Bowl is just as good!! read more

I ordered the pastrami tri-tip, and it was really fancy overall. It came with a salad and sauce that I enjoyed. The sandwich itself was pretty tasty, and I was full by the end. There was a little bit I was saving, but an employee took it away...it was an awkward experience. It reminded of a time when Chick-fil-A was closing, and an employee took away a box that still had food in it. Anyway, the interior is pretty, and the layout and parking is decent. The food itself is a little hefty, but it offers a healthy balance of greens. I'm glad I gave it a chance over Chipotle or Panda Express! read more

Greeted right as we walked in . Daniel at the front was super kind and patient because I wasn't sure what I was getting... the ambiance is nice and natural! Calm soothing. Clean. The food was good. I had a grilled grass fed steak plate. Steak was on the dry side even though we ordered medium.. bread with stead was delish! It had a smoke taste to it. The mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were absolutely amazing. It tasted really really good and clean. We also had a turkey avocado sandwich , which was really really good. Bread was soft and very flavorful. We got a cookie- it's huge!!! And soft and yummy We had some iced tea to go with it and it was great.. overall good experience good food... with the exception of the steak. read more

Ordered DoorDash from here at 6:59PM and didn't receive the order until 8:10PM. Not sure what happened but there were 3 separate dashers that had been waiting at the restaurant and updating me. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, everything was cold but still tasty! I ordered the socal sandwich (very yummy) and it came with a small side salad. I opted for the cilantro vinaigrette and that was good as well. The focaccia really pulls the sandwich together. The seared ahi tuna bowl had overcooked tuna (we thought it was steak for a second) but also still pretty good. Overall would recommend but would probably be better ordered on the spot and eaten fresh. read more

We were trying to decide between this place and urban plates, but went with urbane because we hadn't tried it. There's a review saying that this place was better than the other one. The vibe, the selection, and the quality were different. We should've gone with urban plates. To start off, the people at the counter seemed apathetic, like they had better things to do. I ordered a salmon plate and a soup of the day. The salmon was way overcooked and bland as a rock. The soup was also flavorless. The interior was a lot smaller and less inviting. Everything my family ordered came out just okay - leaving more to be desired. There are a lot of options in the area. Choose any of those, but this one. read more

Out of all the healthy spots on Lake, I definitely prefer this over V Grill. Yes it's not vegetarian but the food and prices are solid. Portions aren't bad and the bread they used is delicious. My mom got the power veggie bowl and it was overall pretty good except they could've made the ratio of toppings to greens more balanced. My Cranberry Brie didn't have enough of the cranberry sauce still tasty. read more

THE best turkey sandwich I've ever had. I told my daughter about it. I called my best friend to tell her about it. I'm still thinking about it a week later, and thinking about how I can make this at home. Urban Cafe, your turkey sandwich is AMAZING. We had a college visit with my daughter out in Pasadena last week. Hubbie and I stopped by Urbane Cafe for lunch during break, and their sandwiches were SO good. I ordered their turkey sandwich, hubbie got the pastrami tri tip. Both were so good, but mine was just so genius. Turkey meat with Brie cheese and cranberries. The Brie cheese complimented the sandwich so well, almost tasted like gravy. Both the meats on the sandwiches were nice and meaty. I will make it a mission to come back to Urbane Cafe the next time I am in Pasadena. Also, their price is affordable for the quality of their food. I paid similar price for Jersey Mikes few days back, but have to say I enjoyed this a lot more. read more

Food is awesome, I especially love their flavorful salads! Ahi and power veggie are so delicious. Service is awesome, staff is always so friendly, and always checks to make sure I'm okay.

checked out this cafe with my friend while in pasadena - the interior was nice with indoor and outdoor seatings - my friend and i each got a sandwich and shared a half of each. the so cal (4.5/5) had a small kick of spice & the southwest (4.7/5) had the right amount of sauce. i personally liked the southwest sandwich more since it was more saucy which is what i preferred! love the salad that it came with but wasn't a big fan of the cheese that was in it. - the workers were very nice and helpful to our needs! would love to come back here again whenever i'm in the pasadena area! read more

I stopped by for lunch and ordered a Mediterranean bowl. I asked for my food after 20 mins and was assured it was on the way. I waited a total 30 minutes and had to ask for a refund because my food still wasn't coming out. Another family also requested a refund for waiting longer. The to go orders and delivery app orders were taking 5 to 10 minutes to fill. read more

This place serves up some healthy and delicious foods. Came in around 8 pm Thursday and was the only one there. In terms of price I feel like most things are pretty reasonable. Ordered in the front, got a number and took a seat. Food took about 5-10 minutes. Here are my thoughts. The Ahi - The sauce on this salad was absolutely delicious. I would get this again and would recommend this one. Like a glorified poke salad bowl. Super fresh and hearty. (5/5) Baja Bowl - I really enjoyed this one and also would recommend. Price is very reasonable and everything tasted so fresh. Was like a better chipotle bowl. (4.5/5) Wedding Soup (Bowl) - The soups here are kind of my only regret. The bowl came out to be really small especially for near $8. It almost looked like a cup but I confirmed and they told me it was a bowl so I guess portions are just small. The soup was wedding soup and IMO it was just okay. Nothing spectacular about this one. Came with a bread as well. I'd pass on the soups here. Pricey and small portions. (2/5) Overall some great food and some things I would pass next time around. I'll have to try the sandwiches next time but I definitely think the bowls are top notch here. After eating we had put away the dishes ourselves so for the most part, this place is fairly self services besides the food being delivered to you. Would be back when I want my healthy eats in Pasadena! read more

Decided to stop by here after my intense workout at Soul Cycle. Parking is located in the back of the restaurant as well as street parking. Order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. Service was great and the restaurant itself was very clean. There are so many healthy options on their menu that it took me a while to find what I wanted. Cilantro Chicken Salad - (5/5) A customer favorite and I can see why now. The cilantro vinaigrette dressing paired with the chicken salad was chefs kiss. Portion size was good too! The salad is also served with bread. Quality food, healthy options, I'm in! Enjoy! read more

Urbane Cafe, located on Lake Ave, is nestled among a variety of other businesses. They offer a selection of sandwiches, bowls, salads, soups, and cookies. ::Drinks:: I like their Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca--it's not too sweet and it's refreshing. I'm also a fan of the Bundaberg Brewed Blood Orange drink. ::Food:: My favorites are the UC Banh Mi and the Pastrami Tri Tip. The UC Banh Mi has roasted chicken, pickled veggies, and sweet chili aioli. The Pastrami Tri Tip features pastrami, Swiss cheese, apple coleslaw, and pickles. I still want to try their other sandwiches, bowls, and soups. ::Dessert:: You must try their freshly baked cookies! My favorite is the chocolate chip, but they offer other delicious flavors too. ::Customer Service:: Jesse, who I believe is the manager, was incredibly helpful during our visit on Monday, June 17, around 7:30 PM.
