She got the daily special which was a potsticker inspired noodle dish. WOW!!!! Absolutely amazing. It was sweet and savory with lots of flavor and yummy vegetables. I ordered the biscuits and gravy because it is my favorite dish EVER. Urban Fresh did not disappoint. The homemade biscuits were fantastic, with chive mixed in throughout. I could have eaten an entire bowl of the gravy and not been disappointed! It was so so so delicious. I was nervous bc it was coconut based but it all came together very balanced and I could not detect any coconut. I also ended up getting the sweet heart juice which has beets, carrots, ginger. It was so good!!!! Chauncey blended it as soon as I ordered. He pulled out the ingredients in front of me so it doesn't get fresher than that!! Please support local! The owners are really doing something special here and I would definitely come back to enjoy more things on the menu.

Urban Fresh is honestly a vegan staple for me and such a gem downtown. Completely plant-based,…read moreeverything made in house, and you can absolutely feel the heart the owners put into this place -- truly some of the most genuine people around. When I was new to town, the owner actually came out, chatted with me, and gave me a whole list of places to check out, people to meet, and things to do. It was such a welcoming moment that I've made a point to pay that forward to every new-to-town person I meet. Looking back, Urban Fresh was one of my very first experiences here -- and it set the bar. Fresh juices, house rolls, rotating specials, and all those scratch-made sauces keep things exciting every visit. Cozy vegan oasis energy tucked into a cute downtown cove, and still one of my consistent go-tos. The African hot sauce is my fav!

I almost left before even placing my order because the guy who worked there was very rude; no…read moregreeting or responding. I ordered a juice regardless because I had a great one a couple weeks ago made by a woman that works there. He made me a smoothie instead of a juice and proceeded to argue with me that it was a juice, when it clearly wasn't, and I watched him use the blender. I already paid so it was kind of too late and didn't want to cause a scene. I then watched him use the juicer for the next people in line. Definitely felt pretty ripped off especially since smoothies are a little cheaper, and I also didn't go for a smoothie. Will not be returning after that interaction.

It comes with whip cream and cream sauce but I get mine on the side. The small size is quite large and priced great! The wait is usually not long (unless there's a long line) and the employees are usually friendly. It's inside of a building with other restaurants, so there isn't dedicated seating. If you're patient, you can usually snag a seat or sit outside.

I'm so glad we did -- I practically inhaled my smoothie, it was that good. Just a heads-up: their hours can be a little tricky. They're open at sunrise and sunset on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and also at sunrise on Saturdays -- all right at Tumamoc. .

Great coordination of our orders and they were made with great team work and so swiftly that showed they are professionals and prepared for any size group. My taste buds like sweet but prefer a much less sweetness in the fruit. Our friends loved this place and look forward to go back. I not as much. I sampled each variation and all had far too much sugar in the fruit without ice cream and without condensed milk. They offered snacks and we'll have to try those next time. FYI: no public restrooms only for staff.

We grabbed a mixed fruit cup absolutely loaded with watermelon, cucumber, jícama, pineapple -- all chopped fresh and piled high. Then comes the magic: chamoy, Tajín, limón, and that perfect drizzle of sweetness that hits salty-spicy-tangy all at once. It's messy in the best way possible. Bring napkins. And maybe don't wear white. The fruit was crisp, juicy, and actually fresh -- not soggy, not sad, not sitting around. That balance of cold fruit with the heat from the chile powder? Elite combo. This is the kind of place you hit on a hot Arizona day when you need something refreshing but still bold. It's simple. It's classic. It delivers every single time. Will I be back? Absolutely. Chamoy-stained fingers and all.
