    Biscuits and gravy
    Elizabeth O.

    Stopped by for the first time and was greeted very warmly by Chauncey the owner! He's front of house while his wife is the main cook. I came with a friend who's vegan. 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.

    Love this place! The manager and staff are just so nice and always attentive. We love to sit outside in the shade along the sidewalk and watch the world go by as we dive into one of their yummy salads. Never had a bad lunch here and all the veggies are super fresh!

    We were visiting Tucson and our Flginal meal was from @urbanfreshaz It was a perfect ending before we headed out the road, going home. It was also the healthiest meal in Tucson. I have never heard of this place until a person in Vegan Tucson fb group suggested it. It has apparently opened for 10 yrs! Tucson keeps surprising me with its vegan restaurants and vegan options! Everything they serve is organic, housemade, and all vegan. The owner is really nice. He and his wife make everything from bread, biscuits, chickpea egg, seitan, gravy, plant based milk, etc. and they use organic fruits and vegetables. Hubby got the biscuits and gravy. I had the breakfast sandwich with homemade bollilo, chickpea egg, homemade sausage seitan and vegetables. They were delicious and clean meals after all the food we've been eating all week. Their smoothies with housemade plant milk were also delicious. I talked to him about seitan making and cooking. It is great to be able to talk to a person who cooks things from scratch and not processed. He let us sample his seitan turkey and housemade soup. A definite eating place to go back to for next time when we are back to Tucson which we will as I Tucson( and Kitt Peak....and Kartchner Caverns)

    Absolutely an amazing spot! I just adore the smoothies here all the perfect ingredients for that special treat! Super fun atmosphere with a great group of people who work here it's always a pleasure.

    Raw Taco Wrap
    Wendy L.

    Amazing food options, including raw vegan options. I had the raw (living) taco wrap and it was wonderful. I appreciated the use of carrots as the "meat" instead of nuts without losing any of the essence of what it was. The owners are beautiful, loving people and the other patrons felt very comfortable -- the frequency of the restaurant reflects all of this!

    I travel for work a lot so it's nice to see healthy options! Small cafe with great service. You can tell they love what they do. I will definitely be back when I travel next.

    Urban Fresh is a hidden gem of downtown Tucson that everyone MUST try! I had a salad and the breakfast burrito and WOW so fresh! The owners Chauncey and Dana really care about the food quality and customer experience. It truly deserves the hype!

    This has been my favorite lunch spot during my time in Tucson. I have tried a couple of salads the Green Goddess wrap (I think that was it) and smoothies. I try and eat later so getting here before 2 has proven tough! But it has been worth the rush. The smoothies seem to have a ton of healthy ingredients and taste sooooo good! Plus you can add hemp, protein and other things to make it even better. I try and do the green smoothies with as many veggies as possible. The owner (I think) is so nice- he seems to know everyone and chats with everyone like they're friends- such a welcoming environment. I've also had the same cashier each time I've gone and she is just as friendly too- hard to find service this good! And parking is limited.... But worth waiting- if you can make it!

    Special Vibe Alive Salad

    It's hard to beat a restaurant when their dishes are made with organic, fresh, local, whole-food ingredients. But what really sets this vegan gem apart is the love and creativity that go into every wrap, salad, juice, smoothie, baked good, and everything else they make. We always feel like part of the family when we visit, and the food is always nourishing and delicious. Don't miss the Funky Monkey Smoothie (my favorite!) or the Broccoli Spinash Quiche when it's on special.

    My mouth and tummy are so happy after eating at Urban Fresh. It is not easy to eat healthy on the road. My husband and I were driving from CA to TX, and trying to find something healthy on the way. We are not vegan, but we prefer to eat fresh vegetables. It is sad to us that many vegan places we found are filled with processed products with barely any fresh produce. :( So, you can see how joyful we are finding Urban Fresh while driving through Tucson. The staff are all super friendly, and the owner did not hesitate to tell us what is not a good idea to order. lol Everything we got was deliciously flavorful and very refreshing. My tummy was in a not mood for a few days, but it was very happy after we eat here. After the owner knows that we are on the road, he gifted us a gluten free scone for the road. And it was DELICIOUS! Honestly we were a little skeptical at first, as many vegan deserts are too heavy for me. But hey, not here. The scone we got tasted just like if I was to make it at home (my husband would say that's the highest compliment). Tasty and healthy! If we are in the area again, we will definitely come bak!

One of my favorite parts is that they offer a free soup for everyone -- you can serve yourself while you wait for your food. It's fast‑casual with generous plates that are easy to split or take home. There's also a great self‑serve salsa bar with amazing crema. We ordered the chicken ranchero plate and the Sonoran barbacoa plate. Both came with sides and tortillas, and everything tasted like a meal you'd get at your grandmother's house -- comforting, friendly, plenty of food, and full of love.

Three people in our group ordered the surf and turf, either as burritos or tacos, and none of us enjoyed it.

When we asked if the cheese could be melted, the waiter checked with the kitchen and returned to tell us that the kitchen said they do not melt the cheese. The bartender was attentive and aware of our needs, but unfortunately, the rest of the male staff were not. Overall, the food and service were both disappointing.

The pizza itself tastes mediocre without much flavoring. They are stingy with the amount of toppings, esp pepperoni. You can get way better pizza from other places like Time Market and Penelope pizza. Even Mod pizza taste way better than this pizza with a lot more toppings. The worker also use her bare hand to grab my slices of pizza without wearing a glove, which is unsanitary. The customer service here is terrible. It is one of the worst I have ever experienced in my life. I specifically asked for a small white box for my sliced of pizza to go since the pizza itself will get smashed and fly around in the car. The lady with glasses heard me but ignore my request. When she handed me the food in a paper bag, I asked again and she said she can't do anything even though a small white box is right behind her. She is just too lazy to get it and doesn't care about customer service I greatly dislike this place. It's overpriced with terrible customer service. Why waste your money on a piece of crappy pizza when you can get way better quality ones from Time Market and other local spots.
