Delicious spot, and reasonably priced for what you get - one of my favorite combos. I got the chimmichuri steak sandwich and salad and everything was made to order, fresh, and flavorful. The focaccia bread was delish. I wanted to eat a whole loaf... It's an order at the kiosk kind of place, and the process is pretty simple. The place was not busy, but not empty either. Easy parking, too. Worth a trip if you're in the area :) read more

Urbane Cafe - Chimichurri Steak - Salad Near Me - Rancho Palos Verdes, California

If you're looking for a healthy fast food option, I highly recommend Urbane Cafe. I noticed all the outdoor seating. Large orange umbrellas and orange chairs. The first thing I saw when I walked through the door was the "Order Here," which I did. But if you're not technically inclined or want to place your order with a human being, you can do that, too. There was a gentleman behind the counter, ready to take orders. The self-serve ordering was pretty easy to use. I ordered the Mediterranean bowl and a bottle of spring water. You grab your own number, type it into the electronic ordering screen, pay, and find a table. There are more tables outdoors than inside. There are enough, but the tables are a little crowded inside, in terms of spacial location. There's a soda fountain machine located in the back. I found a table. My food and bottled water didn't take too long. My Mediterranean bowl was fresh and absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. All fresh ingredients. The kale wasn't dry. The bread was fresh, but a little salty. Staff are friendly and efficient. I noticed they clear tables right away, after customers leave. Parking: Plenty of free, shared parking lot. read more

Urbana is a newly opened health orientated café located on the PV side of Western Avenue. What they offer is a really nice selection of healthy orientated dishes that catered to all taste buds. They have a really good selection of bowls. These are my favorite. In these bowls you can choose from all kinds of options Plus, you can add protein to them if you want to or you can keep them completely vegan. Your choice. They're all made with very high-quality ingredients with the intention of keeping your body and your mind healthy. They also have a really nice selection of sandwiches. These sandwich sandwiches span the gambit of what you can expect from a health orientated café. Like the bowls, all are made with very healthy ingredients and you can tailor each sandwich to suit your own specific taste. They have a limited selection of drinks at this café. But, they all do a nice job of covering everybody's pallet. So, I'm sure you'll be able to find something that you will enjoy drinking in association with your meal. In terms of seating, they have a few tables indoors. This is a nice place to sit if you want to stay out of the elements on those hot days or those cool days. Inside the temperature is controlled so it's always a great place to enjoy your meal. They also have a large number of outdoor tables. These are great for when you want to take in the air and enjoy the environment. They really have a number of tables outside, so you should never have any problem finding a place to sit. A thing to keep in mind about this café is that it is very well maintained. Pretty much the moment somebody gets up and leave one of their staff members is at the table, cleaning it up, spraying it down, disinfecting it, and keeping everything supremely healthy within the walls of this café. Overall, if you're looking for that healthy option, Urbana is a great place to get it. You can get your food to eat in, or you can, of course, get it to go. Your choice. Whichever way you choose it, it's a great place to enjoy a really good meal. read more

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

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

This is a good spot for a quick healthy lunch. I come here almost every other weekend for one of their salads or sandwiches. They take online orders so I usually place my order ahead and the pick up window is always on time. The sweet chili crunch sandwich is a favorite item on the menu, I'm pretty sure I get it 2 out 3 times. The crunchy peanut salad is good too, but I recommend only using half of the dress as it's very sweet. Definitely recommend this spot for those looking for a clean and light lunch 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

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

Love all of the sandwiches I've tried so far; they are all so unique. My favorite is the Chimichurri steak. They bake their own bread for the buns, which really make the sandwich!! Fluffy and Buttery. All about the bread! The soups are also fresh and fulfilling. It's close to my work, so this is my go to lunch spot for delicious and healthy food! Love the new addition to the neighborhood. read more

Horrible service. We ordered on July 4th - I asked about gluten free options and she said she had none, only gluten free breads and salads (which doesn't make sense, it would mean that she could make gluten-free sandwiches). I asked if we could look at the menu and call back to see if the sandwiches we liked were gluten-free. She was annoyed and said " OK, we can do that" in a very curt tone. Sandwiches were okay, attitude was enough for us to not return. read more

I've been here a couple times now. The second time I didn't remember the first time. This is a sandwich shop with lipstick on. There's nothing highly objectionable here - it's more uninspired than bad. Sandwiches all come on the same undistinguished focaccia bread. There's bowls, which I will have to try if i remember to avoid the sandwiches. Meh read more

Not my favorite place to eat. Nice enough staff but the food not to my liking. Not sure I would come back again.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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
