Urbane Cafe San Diego Reviews
I ordered the pollo bowl it was very delicious and healthy packed with protein and flavor was on point and portion was a decent size also pretty affordable i will be going back there again my experience was great
If they had a gluten free cookie- they’d get 10 stars in my book! This place has some amazing sandwiches & salads and always super friendly staff. Like that they’re open till 9 too! Stoked to see more Urbane’s opening up around town!
I always come to eat here, tried most of the menu and have never been disappointed. The service is always great, for example Yalina always make sure I get everything and everyone is very nice overall ❤️
Urbane is always a great choice, but I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Bee! She recently dropped off catering for our office at the University of San Diego and went above and beyond. She not only helped set everything up beautifully, but she also made sure to clearly identify the gluten-free and vegetarian options so everyone could enjoy their meal without worry. Bee is incredibly friendly, professional, and somehow always knows exactly how to find our building which is no small feat! Thank you for making our catering experience so smooth and enjoyable.
OMG - A MUST! This place is absolutely amazing! Great salads and sandwiches! The homemade bread is to die for! Don't let the long line discourage you because the service is super fast. My family ate outside, where a few tables were set up. We ordered inside, and a server brought our food to us. The ingredients are so fresh, and every vegetable in my peanut sauce Asian style salad was crunchy and so tasty. I wish there was an Urbane Cafe near me in Wisconsin! Their menu is amazing, and looking at other customer's orders looked delicious. So many people were coming and going, but the line just kept flowing. There's a reason why so many people come here. The food is great and the service is superb! I highly recommend it!!
What an amazing way to keep the customer in mind. Alicia D (at least that's what was on the receipt) was who took my takeout order with complete ease and was very knowledgeable about the menu. I let them know that one of the orders was for a baby. I finished the call and made my way to Urbane Cafe. While I was on my way, one of the orders had spicy chicken and they made the decision on changing the chicken in that meal to be normal chicken breast. When I got there, they let me know about the substitution and was so happy to be informed about the change. If I had given a baby spicy food, the whole evening would have been ruined. So I want to thank the staff for saving my night. So the food was pretty good, especially for a fresh takeout experience. I love the outside seating. Also, the restroom were pretty clean as well. I was also informed they do a veterans day discount. If this review helped you smash that like button. I love helping all of you out and supporting small businesses.
Hands-down one of my absolute favorite places to eat in San Diego!! Great portion sizes, healthy, vegetarian/vegan friendly! Everything I’ve ever tried has exceeded my expectations. Their sandwiches are probably my favorite — the chimichurri sandwich is game changing!! Ahi tuna salad and “summer special beet salad” are also some of my top choices!! You will not be disappointed.
Was craving something healthy since my usual spot closed down. I got the salmon bowl that had a lot of very healthy ingredients. The dressing was amazing! The price for a salmon bowl to be delivered was also very good. The salmon wasn't the best quality; but I would say that my expectations were met and I felt full and checked the healthy box. I would order it again.
1-28-26, came in around 5:30pm. No one was in the restaurant. Three workers there. Got the soup/salad combo. Soup came out luke warm. Asked if they had a microwave and the male worker said they would heat it up. I ate my salad and they forgot about my soup. Again I repeat, I was the only person in there. I told the male which I assume was the manager to keep my soup. He asked if I wanted a refund for my soup. I said no thanks and left.
The male employee working in the packaging is excessively rude. He’s trying to look polite, but his behaviors are passive-aggressive. He had an aggressive attitude when handing over the bag. Bad customer service 👎🏽
I normally love getting urbane for lunch but this location had a bad sewer smell, it looked dirty and the food was subpar. The lettuce was old and overall just disappointing.
How this place is rated so highly is beyond me. As soon as you walk through the doors you're blasted by a musty spoiled smell. The place was dirty, dishes were stacked, employees had personal belongings on the tables. The tri-tip sandwich was dry, bread was stale. And the grilled cheese was without a doubt the saddest grilled cheese I've ever seen.
