My new favorite place. My reviews for restaurants have gone down in number because I really don't have to go anywhere else to eat. Their salads and sandwiches are so flavorful. The bread is the best part. I have to control myself from asking for more. Prices are fair until you ask for a fountain drink. I'm a water cup kind of girl. I'm happy Urbane Cafe exists. read more

Honestly the food was solid! Just fyi that you will get a side salad already most likely so don't order another salad on top unless that is your full meal lol. It's right there next to Mendocino farms in terms of taste! read more

I've been here a couple of times. Once when they first opened and just recently. The place is small. But clean and well lit. You have the option to order through the r self service kiosks or in person. I've had the tri tip sandwich and the turkey cranberry Brie. Both are pretty good. It comes with a salad and balsamic dressing which I like. I do believe you can switch the sides to soup and other options. The staff is pretty friendly too. I'll come back. read more

New and clean with plenty of parking. Tons of outdoor seating. I gave it 3 stars because the Salmon Bowl was horrible and the BBQ tri tip sandwich was delicious. Salmon bowl - Dry!! Rice was so dry and felt undercooked. Salmon was so dry and not flaky at all. I could make better salmon at home. BBQ tri tip sandwich - Delicious soft bread. Warm. Good flavors. I would get sandwiches over the bowl for sure. Download the app for a free cookie. read more

Urbane Cafe - Salmon Bowl and BBQ Tri Tip - Salad Near Me - Rancho Palos Verdes, California

Few times here, either in person or via GrubHub. Always fresh, always tasty and while not necessarily "inexpensive" always worth the price. Today's order is comprised of salads and Sammie's. Please help support our local businesses as they add to the local economy and provide a valuable service to us all. read more

I got the UC Banh Mi. It was pretty good. The food tastes fresh and healthy with lots of vegetables to boot. The menu has many options to choose from. It's nice to see such a wide variety including a Vietnamese sandwich. They have a bright and cozy layout, so you feel welcome in the space. There was a guy at the front greeting everyone... he was so friendly! I would come back for more. Support this neighborhood gem. Parking lot has ample parking. read more

It was the best of Urbane Cafes, it was the worst of Urbane Cafes. I honestly wasn't planning to stop by Urbane Cafe in Palos Verdes since it was way out of the way for me to go. However, I got an email announcing their grand opening there. "Oh cool," I thought to myself. The email also announced that if you order a sandwich, salad, or bowl between Jul 11 and Jul 18, you could get a free sandwich, salad, or bowl on your next visit. "Oh cool!!" I thought to myself. I was planning a day trip on Saturday, and I figured I could add a trip to this recently opened Urbane Cafe to my itinerary since it was just down the 110 from where I was at. I had to take the Channel St/Pacific Ave exit, turn right on Gaffey, and go left on Capitol before finally arriving at Western. Urbane Cafe in Palos Verdes is in a strip mall on the southwest corner of Capitol and Western. It appears this strip mall is going to be totally revamped because Google Streets shows a totally different set of businesses there. If you see or know of Sun's Pet Grooming, that is now Urbane Cafe. I hadn't really heard of Urbane Cafe before this year, but instantly became a fan when they opened a location in Long Beach, much closer to me. I love how the team in Long Beach treats all their customers like family, and I especially love the food they make there that I even got to share some with my coworkers via catering order. Unfortunately, I got none of those vibes on my first visit to this Palos Verdes location that I just had to start this review with some Charles Dickens. Since it was their second day of operation, they had a tent just outside the cafe that was supposed to welcome customers, but when I arrived, there was nobody under the tent! They had a table underneath where there were flyers advertising 20% off catering until August 31, Service Member Appreciation Days, and the offer I mentioned earlier in this review. But not having a human element aspect of the welcome tent was really a missed opportunity for some customers like yours truly; I might even argue that it was ominous! I had placed my order in the app because in order to qualify for the free entree, you have to place an order online or in the app; an in-person order wouldn't work, but several customers did this, presumably because they don't have the app yet. For whatever reason, I wasn't given a welcome by any of the employees, but when the other customers entered the cafe, the cashier would say welcome, and the rest of the team would follow suit. But my presence wasn't acknowledged? What am I, chopped liver?! I went to the rear of the cafe where they had 3 shelves of online pickup orders. One bag was already ready, but there were no employees overseeing the online orders. That bag wasn't mine, but since there wasn't any employee there, I could have easily taken that customer's order, which I'd never want to do! They also didn't announce when an online order was ready for pickup, so I had to keep a watchful eye to make sure nobody would take my order. I picked up my order about 4 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, but am not sure exactly when it was ready since, like I said, they didn't say my name when my order was ready for pickup. I sat at a table that wasn't cleaned up after the previous customer even though there were a handful of other tables inside since I'd much rather a family to be eating at a cleaner table instead. It wasn't that busy inside, so I was a little surprised nobody picked up table cleaning duties during my visit. I ordered the Salmon Salad with Chipotle Ranch dressing, which came with a side of focaccia bread. The salad was chock full of leafy greens, which I could tell after shaking the container to spread the Chipotle Ranch around. They could have added a little more of all the other toppings like the salmon, but especially the edamame. The jicama and mango salsa weren't as fresh tasting. The Chipotle Ranch wasn't very flavorful either, and that's one of my favorite dressings! I had to use some sriracha sauce to add some flavor to my salad. And lastly, the focaccia bread was a whole lot of nothing! I know it's just bread, but there should have been *some* flavor at least. Did they forget to brush the oil on top of the bread? Maybe. My only interaction with an employee was when I asked one where the utensils were, but she simply said she included one in my takeout bag. Well okay I guess, but it didn't totally answer my question. However, there were very few customers inside at the time, and I definitely felt like a fly on the wall. The cashier who made her rounds cleaning passed by me a couple times, including when I left, but she didn't even wish me a good day, perhaps a microcosm of the indifference in their service. The Salmon Salad didn't taste bad, but my overall experience at this Urbane Cafe was so lacking that, no joke, I even had to go to Chick-fil-A afterwards to finish my dinner. I doubt I'll return to this location. read more

Urbane Cafe is now in the South Bay! Today was the grand opening of their newest restaurant in Rancho Palos Verdes. It was my first time to try Urbane Cafe and I was impressed right from the start. I was greeted with a vibrant "Welcome to Urbane Cafe" and plenty of smiles the moment I walked in. Their menu consists of sandwiches, salads, bowls and soups. For this first visit I chose to try their UC Banh Mi and their Mediterranean Bowl. The UC Banh Mi is packed with tender roasted chicken, cilantro, cucumbers, pickled carrots, fresno chilis and pickled white radish. All the fillings are smothered with this amazing sweet chili aioli. For the bread, they use fire baked focaccia bread. That focaccia bread truly makes this sandwich special! It's served fresh and warm and comes out so soft. They make the bread fresh in house. The bread along with the delicious sandwich fillings made for one awesome bahn mi! I would definitely get this again. Equally as good was the Mediterranean Bowl. This bowl comes with mixed whole grain rice, kale, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, hummus and tomato cucumber salsa. I chose to add chicken to my bowl. I was impressed that you could choose what kind of chicken to add (i.e bbq chicken, grilled chicken, cilantro chicken, spicy chicken). I chose to get cilantro chicken and this paired well with all the veggies and hummus. This was one flavor packed bowl! I also loved how this always came with the fire baked foccacia bread. Aside from the food, I chose to get a drink. They offer Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca, Watermelon Lemonade, Old Fashion Lemonade, Iced Tea and Batch Craft Soda. I was a fan of the Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca. It was so refreshing! Last but not least- they have dessert here too! They have fresh baked cookies. Options included chocolate chip, white chocolate cranberry, oatmeal and chocolate. I tried the chocolate chip and it was the perfect treat to wrap up a good meal. I am so happy to see them in Rancho Palos Verdes. Though this was my first visit to Urbane Cafe ever, I know it won't be my last. read more

Had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and this place got me feeling full, kept my blood sugar low and was absolutely delicious. The service is always great, they have no problem switching things out to accommodate your preferences and the ambiance is always a mix of families and professionals trying to stay healthy while being on a very good budget. read more

They had me at Fresh bread!! Fast and friendly service! The place is modern and cozy! Love it! read more

Terrific food! Ordered a couple of salads, bowls, and a sandwich for pickup, and it was all ready as promised. Incredibly inexpensive for the quality of the food! Fresh and healthy and super tasty. read more

Pastrami tri-tip sandwich and blue cheese salad, wonderful lunch and they have spots in the front for phone orders and nice person brought food out to the car. I offered to go inside and they were already coming out the door. I was literally there less than three minutes. Great service the food/sandwich. I'm excited to try more of the menu and the salads everything was fresh and delicious and the patio was very vibrant and busy. It's great to see the shopping center come back to life. this is a great addition and a wonderful option for an elevated lunch experience with a casual environment or take it to go and enjoy some of the beautiful places to eat nearby. read more

staff very nice. place is clean and smells fresh. had the seasonal protein bowl. food very tasty but portion very disappointing. nothing in the shallow bowl was anywhere near the rim. in the future, I'll think of this as a small bites place. read more

The food tasted fresh and delicious, even though we took it to-go! Despite looking busy from the outside, the service was impressively quick and efficient. Overall, a great experience! (Salmon bowl doesn't contain dressing in the picture, my own preference) read more

Was pleased to come into Urbane Cafe on their grand opening day! It was pretty busy but luckily didn't need to wait too long to order, I ended up ordering the Baja bowl but was heavily debating between that or a sandwich, I can confidently say I couldn't have gone wrong with either choice! The bowl was absolutely delicious I finished every last bite, if I were gonna change it at all I would probably just add salsa next time to make it spicy! My group all got sandwiches and I was able to taste test them all and they were all soooo yummy, & the bread is truly amazing! We also had to try their chocolate chip cookies, and those were absolutely perfect in every way, I will literally be back just for those! I also tried their dragon fruit lemonade and it was super tasty, it's safe to say everything was a near 10/10 & I will 100% be looking forward to coming back! :) Side note- the customer service was impeccable, very friendly and inviting environment!! read more

It's wild how people write a whole novel tearing apart a brand new restaurant that's been open for, what, two weeks? And the complaints aren't even about the food! it's about the sign not being clear or not being greeted under a grand opening tent. Seriously? I had a normal visit to a brand new business finding its rhythm just fine. No chaos. No disasters. Just a team doing their best. All smiles and hellos! Newsflash: opening a restaurant is hard! People need to stop nitpicking over font sizes or how much edamame is in a salad and offer some grace and encouragement. The sense of entitlement is just unreal. These nitpicky rants read more like auditions for "Yelp Critic of the Year" than helpful reviews for normal people! It's only hurting the very people trying to build something good for our community. I'm a working mom with two kids and barely any time but that's how strongly I felt. We should be welcoming new spots to our street, not tearing them down. The staff is kind. The food is good. Keep going, Urbane Cafe. We see you. read more

We're thrilled to have the new Urbane Cafe in the neighborhood. They bake their own focaccia bread, and build sandwiches from first class ingredients. Their standard side salad is excellent, even carnivores like me can embrace it. Don't delay, go today. read more

First time at this cafe. Staff were really friendly. I had asked for recommendations and was recommended the fish sandwich. The sandwiches were really good. They had got me by surprise honestly. I would definitely come back. read more

Urbane Cafe - A Really Good Fish Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Rancho Palos Verdes, California

I placed an online order for my family and I for dinner because the sandwiches are amazing. Part of my order was missing when I got home (my fault, i showed up late and left before confirming i had all my food) and when J called they were very apologetic and gave me extra cookies for the inconvenience. Very good staff. read more

I absolutely love Urbane Cafe and a great addition to the PV/San Pedro area. There are too many Fast Food options around here, but to me, I feel like im eating, non-greasy "clean food". My favorite is the Pesto & Sundried Tomato sandwich. I also liked the Moroccan Hummus salad. Plenty of parking in the strip mall. I normally pick up or UberEat Urbane Cafe. Inside is also clean and inviting. I like the ordering screen when you walk in, it's convenient. read more

Nevan helped me choose a salad that was outstanding. I'll definitely be eating there again. Great food and very healthy

First let's start with the staff . They were absolutely delightful and friendly ( we got a wonderful hello upon entering the shop ) they were kind ,knowledgeable and patient with all our questions during our ordering process. and then came the amazing sandwiches. They were absolutely delicious . I had the tofu banh mi and honestly it was the best sandwich I have ever had . The tofu was cooked to perfection and the vegetables were fresh and full of flavor the sweet chili aioli tied it all together my friend had the sweet chili crunch chicken and loved the combination ! We will definitely be back to this great place . We can't wait to try everything on the menu read more

Thank goodness someone decided NOT to open yet another sandwich-pizza-burger-same-ramen place in the area... These fast-casual restaurants are consistent and actually have a great variety of salads (that are not iceberg) at a decent price. And yes, they give you bread if you want it, too! Please give these baby franchises a chance. It takes some time to get their systems into place. This particular menu type is severely lacking in the area. I'll take it. read more

I am a fan and I have only been once. Their food was delicious and light. Although it is very small the food holds well for delivery or at home eating. They have a delicious flavor variety and the salads are just as good as their sandwiches. The service is quick and they offer two kiosks for quicker ordering. It was buzzing since the kitchen is open and visible to the customer but not too loud. Still left space for tables to converse. read more

I LOVEEEE there Santa Maria bbq and the salad OH MY too good. The little mandarin orange perfect. The feta cheese the bread freshly made can't ever mess that up they are the best. read more

Ordered and waited 25min for food. Food good but not much chicken on sol cal sandwich. Will not eat at this location no longer

I want to say I normally love urbane and the bread is fresh and the simple side salad with balsamic is amazing, hits the spot every time. I was so excited when this location decided to open up but the past two times I have left disappointed. I thought maybe it was a one off until the second time. I order the Californian sandwich, which has artichoke and sun dried tomatoes. I have asked to ADD turkey for some protein. Instead both times, they remove the artichoke and sun dried tomatoes (literally the entire being of the sandwich) and replaced them entirely with turkey. No big deal if you are not able to add ingredients to sandwiches, but instead of not saying anything at all and just replacing and removing ingredients instead of adding they should just tell you that. I was craving my artichokes both times lol. Also the second time no balsamic was provided for the side salad. read more

Delicious! Freshly made Focaccia bread sandwiches! The best salads! Sandwiches with salad! Now open in Redondo Beach too, yay!!!!

Usually the process is quick and efficient, but today was unfortunately different. I placed an online order with a pickup time of 12:07, but didn't receive my food until 12:37 after making several trips to the register for updates. The order appeared to be sitting in the staging area for quite some time. The salads were missing dressing, and the side of ranch would have been missed if I hadn't caught it before leaving. I understand it was a busy lunch rush, and I understand how hectic those times can be. The food is usually very tasty, so I'm willing to give it another try. read more

The food there was delicious, i got the pastrami tri cut sandwich and it was one of the best ive had. The cashier nathan was so nice and i felt welcomed. The store was very clean. read more

Called to order. Sandwich. They were out of turkey, did not have chips New store, you would think they would have basics! read more

I enjoy eating here. Pastrami Tri Tip sandwhich is great. Come here at least twice a week.

Very decent salads that are not dull. I've tried their crunchy peanut salad a few times and love it each time.

I'm a pescatarian so it's difficult to find a quick, high quality meal. I discovered Urbane Cafe when it opened in RPV. I now eat there 1-2 times/week. The seared ahi salad is excellent. They have something for everyone, even my carnivore T-Rex wife. The service is also excellent, and the employees are super nice. It's easy to customize your menu selection. read more

If you're looking for a quick-ish spot to eat post-hike or post-gym that won't leave you feeling gross or greasy, Urbane Café is an awesome spot. Has decent salads and sandwiches and they have seasonal items which are pretty nice. I have to say I def prefer it over Panera Bread. It's something like Mendocino, but they have more options! Also doesn't break the bank. Location is clean, workers are super friendly too. read more

We used to go to Camarillo and we always stopped here for the great food! The bahn mi sandwich is so delish. Everything they have in the menu is fabulous tho. The steak sandwich is fab. I've been hoping they would put one in here and they DID. My favorite sandwich place but the bowls and salads are wonderful too. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place just opened up in San Pedro. First time coming here. I love the salads. A great place. I'll come here again. I read it at 5

Finally a healthy, affordable fast-casual option, with an efficient but welcoming atmosphere, made possible by modern design and a world class service team. Shout-out to front man Nevan showcasing his baking skills - I got an ahi salad (too much for one sitting but I finished anyway), served hot and fresh with the BEST BREAD EVER!! read more
