Very filling food offerings and wonderful service! I've ordered several bowls from here over the past year and they were consistently delicious, nourishing and fresh. Pro-tip: if ordering ahead for pickup, definitely utilize their website versus a third-party vendor (DoorDash, etc.)... it's significantly cheaper this way. For example, one of my fav dishes: the Mediterranean Bowl currently costs $16.33 versus $13.20 when ordering through their website, providing an almost 24% savings! Plus, you collect reward points, redeemable for more yummy food. How can you say no to that offer? Enjoy. read more

Best place for a healthy reset from all the heavy holiday foods we've been eating. I forgot the name but I had a bowl with white fish, kale, cabbage, brown rice or quinoa (or both?) and other veggies. My body was craving something clean and this hit the spot. Bonus for parents with toddlers- they keep a clean restroom and changing table! read more

We've always enjoyed the sandwiches. But the side salad has lost its charm over the years. Tonight we substituted fruit on a couple sandwiches, and I also ordered three separate side orders of fruit. They no longer look ANYTHING like the picture on the site. I think they give you what they call "kiddie fruit" even when you order them standalone. There is well less than half the fruit they picture, but I'm including a photo of the absolute worst of them. read more

The food is wonderful, but the staff is even better. The leadership with James and Fernando is top notch. A++ managers!!

This spot is always delicious. Great spot for a delicious sandwich. Recommend this place 10 out of 10.

I was not happy with the ahi salad delivered when I saw the Japanese sauce was half full! It was definitely NOT enough! It's almost like they are forcing you to add more sauce for $.65 but u don't need it if they would just provide a full filled sauce! Not half-full! Just bringing yo their attention for better food! Thank you! read more

Urban Café is amazing! The Santa Maria BBQ chicken sandwich was smoky and flavorful, and the salmon bowl was fresh and delicious. Great food! read more

I love love looooovvvveee Urbane Cafe. My Cilantro Chicken Salad is always on point! I also really love how fresh everything in. Now my favorite location is the Downtown one. They're always so friendly and welcoming . I feel this location isn't as welcoming unfortunately. I wasn't greeted and checked in on as in the other Urbanes I have been to. This location had a reno not long ago. It has a modern clean look . Which I love! Seating indoors and outside. Another thing I didn't love was that they pre prep the plates with salad on the side and they're just sitting there in the open. I know it's a means to provide speedy service but I enjoy my greens cold. Will forever be in Urbane Cafe fan. I go often but I do have my favorite location in Downtown Ventura. read more

This place has amazing salads and sandwiches. I don't think they make anything bad. Also, it's nice that the prices are affordable considering what you are getting. They are fast and friendly. I use the app to order online and pick up. It's easy and efficient. I would highly recommend trying this place! Get anything! read more

The food was so good , I always get the southwest and it never disappoints . James and William are always so nice to me when I come in and always provide great service:) read more

I don't come here often and I ask myself why everytime! My FAVORITE dish to order is the Steak Chimichurri! It's delicious EVERY TIME! And Ib really like how fast they have the food ready because usually I'm hangry if I'm buying food out and about. Try it! You will love it! read more

Urbane is the best! The food is very tasty - my favorites are the Santa Maria bbq chicken sandwich and the salmon bowl. The portions are a good size and fair price. The restaurant is usually pretty clean and the service is decent. The food is prepared within a reasonable amount of time. Would recommend!! read more

Rarely do I go inside to eat here, because their service is terrible. The people typically working the cash register seem miserable, and God forbid you ask if they have more chocolate chip cookies. The female cashier was very rude when I asked that question and she replied very sarcastically. Other than that, their sandwiches are pretty good, the bread really sells them. The salads are also pretty good! The chocolate chip cookies are the best thing they have, and they're so delicious, but they tend to run out frequently. Overall decent place to eat, it's an easy and safe option when you're looking for something other than fried fast food. read more

Always fresh! Love the bbq chicken salad! Really busy so definitely order ahead for pick up. Really nice employees who help you find your order amongst many. The bread is freshly made and usually nice and warm :) read more

I've been a customer since they opened this location over 20 years ago (the 1st one I think). It has always been a favorite, but the last few times (over the last few months) the quality just isn't the same. Portions seem smaller, and assembly is sloppy. If it is a cost issue, I would rather pay a bit more so the items stay consistent. I've also seen several reviews here dated from the last year that recount a similar experience, so it probably won't improve. read more

William was at the front register when my friends and I came in and he had a great energy about him. He delivered all of our food out to our table and then proceeded to check in on us despite it not being traditional dining experience. I was able to have a great conversation with him too. William da best. Food was good I got the bahn mi tofu sandwich read more

Food is always good service is efficient and it's a nice place to eat out for lunch I like the salads and the bowls.

Always fresh and delicious! James was amazing, offered some warm cookies! Love the fresh lemonades!

Always super friendly staff and efficient. I always use the app to pick up and it's always ready when it says. If I need something more they always are ready to assist and they don't act like I'm bothering them. Food is always excellent too read more

Great service! That manager, Jamey, def has it going on! Everything is delicious and quick. read more

Urbane Cafe is always solid. Tommy really elevated the experience! We came in a hurry, and he and his team were friendly and very accommodating, like a well-oiled machine. He brings a very positive and great vibe. read more

Friendly staff! Always has great service. Food is always hot and tasty. It's a great place for lunch or dinner.

Looking at the glowing reviews, I appear to be in the minority in feeling quality at this location has slipped in the past couple of months. Prior to that it was definitely 5-star worthy. But of late, the sandwiches feel thrown together rather haphazardly, so they easily fall apart when eating (I'm looking at you Chicken Banh Mi). There also seems to be noticeably less aioli. Still love the wonderful service though. read more

About a year ago I was standing in line here with my wife and I got into trouble because I don't know when to keep my damn mouth shut. I should be used to it, it happens all the time. I made what I thought was a fairly innocuous statement based on my observations during previous visits. I said, this is a woman's restaurant. My wife looked at me sideways and said what does that mean? She's a much bigger fan of Urbane Cafe than I am, and immediately I knew was stepping on her toes with my comment. I said look around, the place is busy, all the tables are taken, and there's only me and one other guy in the whole place. She said, so? I probably should have paid attention to the big flashing signs saying Trouble Ahead and looked for a conversational offramp, but I foolishly kept talking. It's this way every time, I explained. You rarely see men in here. And when you do, they're nearly always with a woman. It's super rare to see two or more men eating together here like at a normal restaurant. Soon as I said that last part I could tell by the expression on my wife's face I had gone way too far. Normal restaurant? So this isn't a normal restaurant!? You don't like this place? You want to go somewhere else? No, it's cool, I like this place, I truthfully replied. I'm just pointing out that it's a very woman friendly place. I was scrambling desperately to do Damage Control. I think it's great, I continued, for women to have a place where they can get salads and healthy sandwiches. I guess that sounded a little condescending or patronizing, or both, I don't know. But I knew it was time to shut up about it when she rolled her eyes. So I shut up. Lol. That was a year or more ago. Today I placed an online order for pick up. I love ordering ahead online and having the order ready when I get there. They were super busy, with a line almost out the front door, but because I had prepaid online I was able to walk right in, find my order and be on my way. I've found that my order is almost always ready before the time promised here. Usually by 5-10 minutes. That's good to know if you want to get ahold of your food while it's still warm. When I got home my wife asked me, was it all women inside? It's been a year since I made those ill-advised comments but she hasn't forgotten. Women never forget anything, especially ill-advised comments. I pretended I had no idea why she was asking and said, huh? All women? I just shrugged and said don't know, I didn't notice. But it was in fact almost entirely women inside. Lol. Just to be clear, I love the sandwiches here. Today I had a UC Banh Mi and it was freaking great! I usually alternate between that sandwich and the Turkey Cranberry Brie. Both are Fire. I've had their Ahi Tuna salad a few times too, and I loved it every time. When I eat here I feel like I'm eating healthy, but not like I'm eating health food, if you know what I mean. I think Urbane Cafe is kind of unique that way. I see it as a compliment to say it's a woman's restaurant. Based on my observations, it seems clear to me that most women are far more careful about what they eat than men. Not all women, of course. Plenty of women like unhealthy food too. But if you ask a man where to go for a healthy meal, you're likely to get a blank stare as a response. If you ask a woman, she'll likely say, Urbane Cafe. Mikey C says: I think I'll just quit talking right here. read more

If you go to Urbane Cafe, honestly skip the sandwiches. They are just okay. You need to get the Salmon Bowl. This is the perfect combination of sweet potatoes, brown rice, Salmon, and Kale. I would get this bowl anytime I come to Urbane Cafe. The sandwiches are mediocre and the reason why I knocked off a star. read more

Great service from the lovely ladies behind the counter. Fantastic selection of healthy foods including many vegan options.

Urbane Cafe - Baja Enchilada Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Ventura, California

Went to buy lunch for my client who has down syndrome. The manager who was wearing a black uniform helped us immediately the guy looked at my client in a disgusting manner as if he was appalled by my client. Waited for our order to arrive. The guy brought our food and slammed it our table, i was too stunned to speak as it was out of nowhere. Will never go back here again. I dont know what kind of establishment gives this kind of treatment to their customers. A couple of days ago i went with another client who is a female and the manager was acting nicer as she is beautiful and "acceptable to his eyes" so you either gotta be pretty to get good treatment read more

I ordered 2 sandwiches using Uber Eats and 1 of my sandwiches was missing most of what it should have had. Got the So Cal and it had no lettuce, avocado, sauces and was put together so sloppy I had to reassemble it. Just because it's a to go order doesn't mean it should be thrown together. Very disappointing because we are sick which is why we ordered this way. read more

Food is amazing. Staff is awesome. It's Always super quick to get my food on my lunch break

I'm living with roommates again after my ex-wife found me sleeping in her driveway for over a week untenable. I can't blame her. Her dates were made uncomfortable and I'm sure they had questions about the man living in the driveway that none of us could answer. I had the So Cal chicken sandwich at Urbane Cafe today after moving my air mattress and three scented trash bags full of clean and unlaundered clothing into the meager apartment that my old roommates kindly invited me back into despite their equally bleak life circumstances. The sandwich was delicious. Five stars. read more

My favorite salad place hands down! Their salads are good and fresh. They have multiple ways to order besides going into the cafe. I love their Baja bowl as well. Super tasty and filling! I highly recommend them to everyone! Will return soon read more

We've been coming here for years, and it always feels like home. Delicious food, generous portions, and the friendliest staff

Urbane Cafe is one of my favorites. I dont like to go to chain places and prefer local but Urbane Cafe is an exception. It is my first time in this location and it wont be last. I have been to few different locations but this location was outstanding.... I made an order online and came here and within few minutes it was ready. It was ready before the time that it was suppose to be. Despite the restaurant being super busy and orders were full in the carts, it was outstanding experience. Staff were very friendly, quick and helpful. I had my favorite cilantro chicken. It is a big amount and amazing taste. I really enjoy it.... I highly recommend it to everyone... Will return soon here and recommend it to friends and family. P.S I didn't even get the chance to get a picture! It was too good and I ate it super quick read more

After so many years together, we've learned to cherish the simple joys -- and sharing a meal here is one of them. The food is always warm and comforting, just like the atmosphere. We sit, we talk, we laugh, and every bite reminds us why we keep coming back. The staff greets us with genuine smiles, and it feels less like dining out and more like visiting friends. This place has become a small but beautiful part of our love story. read more
