got the monkey smoothie with added chocolate protein and coffee, and it was literally the most amazing smoothie ever!!!

Fresh ingredients go into the food. Their salads are the best in town. The owner regularly chats with his customers and seems to genuinely be interested in them, as well as others in our Tucson community. read more

I had the Rueben w macaroni salad. Both were delicious. My mom had the Yin and Yang. Got a sweet potato peanut butter chocolate chip scone. Took a couple of bites and will have the rest w an oatmilk kicker from Dutch brothers in the morning. I'm already looking forward to it. I got a pad thai wrap for dinner later. I know that's gonna be great. Will definitely be back during next year's visit to Tucson. read more

Urban Fresh is AMAZING, and might be the only place we can eat in this entire city. Seriously. You see, our family has a bevy of food allergies and sensitivities, not to mention preferences. In addition, I'm a health coach and I can't stand visiting a restaurant that claims to be clean only to feel like absolute crap when I get home, proving that they were using something that was not great. That has truly NEVER happened here -- I always feel fantastic after eating at Urban Fresh. I've tried so many things -- smoothies, juices, pastries, daily specials. I loved the raw pizza although it has recently left the menu. As a substitute last week, I tried the Raw Veggie Tart which was wonderful, and soothed my sadness about the pizza being gone. The scones are always great, no matter the flavor or ingredients of the day. The owners are friendly, and the staff is very patient when I inquire into the specific ingredients of any item, since we always need to know exactly what is in what we are eating. Do yourself a favor and eat here early (sometimes the special runs out because it's so amazing) and often! read more

The only thing I don't like about this place is that it's only open on weekdays until 2, because I would definitely go there on weekends as well. I absolutely love their food and smoothies, location, and service that is always very friendly and accommodating. The last time I visited Urban Fresh was yesterday when my wife and I ordered lunch special (tofu pepperoni sandwich + pasta salad + 2 slices of watermelon), Green Goddess wrap (I asked them to wrap it in collard greens and they did!), and a cup of soup. Everything was super delicious but the Green Goddess wrap was truly divine. It's so fresh, yummy, and satisfying, OMG. Tbh, I can't stop thinking about it, I want to eat it again. The soup (curry-like soup with lentils, quinoa, and potatoes) also tasted heavenly. I would definitely eat those two every day, they are soooo freaking good. My wife wasn't super crazy about her tofu sandwich but still said it was very good. Next time though she would also order the Green Goddess wrapped in a collard green :) It's just one of the best meals I've ever had. Seriously. If you haven't visited this place yet, I don't know what you're doing with your life then. Run there! They're only open until 2! read more

Urban Fresh - Green Goddess Wrap wrapped in a collard green - Vegan Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Love this place. Today I had the daily special, the crunchy black bean wrap. So flavorful! Just a bit spicy and very moist. Along side we had kale chips that were crunchy and so flavorful. They are dehydrated so all the nutrients are preserved. For a beverage we had hibiscus spiced lemonade that was not to sweet or too spicy. Just delicious. I was enjoying it all too much to take a picture! read more

Home-made food and delicious lemonade -- all so fresh and clean and good. And as visitors to Tucson we got some local lore and a ton of excellent advice on places to see. Super friendly and a totally refreshing oasis in toasty Tucson. read more

The food was fantastic. We both had the pad Thai wrap. Still craving it a day later. Owner and co-worker were gracious and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their food and service. read more

Do NOT park on the roof or in the flat lot behind the building ($5 parking)!!! Park in the light green five story parking garage directly across the entrance of Urban Fresh. The super nice cashier told us that it's free for the first hour. This place is super cute and hit the spot when we were looking for something fresh, healthy, and not too heavy. We ended up picking up the yin and yang salad. Overall 4/5 stars for flavor and price. Thanks Urban Fresh for a positive first impression of the food scene in Tucson. read more

This place is delicious not to mention probably the cheapest Vegan food in town. They are currently conducting business through a slinging glass window which works great during COVID. My food took less than 10 minutes and was delicious and healthy. The customer service was fantastic and they had a sign describing all the specials they were offering. I will definitely be returning. read more

Chauncey and his family are amazing. They provide delicious prepared vegetarian options. Incredible

Cool spot in Downtown Tucson. Especially amazing if you're looking for Vegan options. Be sure to try their fresh juices- so yummy!

Great food! Gluten free options. Everything was very fresh. The staff were super friendly.

Amazing food and a Tucson gem! Healthy items, delicious and the people there are phenomenal. Chauncey, Dana and Louis all go above and beyond. They are passionate about what they do and they are wonderful people. read more

It isn't often we will drive over 25 miles one way for a meal, but we make an exception for Urban Fresh. Consistently the freshest, best tasting vegan food we've ever encountered. The owners are passionate about the quality of their dishes and it comes through with every bite. read more

Service was excellent! The owner suggested a smoothie that I would have otherwise never tried & I loved it so much!! It was the smoothie with dates and ginger and it's my favorite smoothie now! I had the salad with rice noodles and the mint in it made it SO yummy!!! The flavors in everything is heavenly!! I also tried the energy balls and was super yummy with cacao! The chia seed pudding, I am now addicted to it! I wish I lived closer- but this is my favorite place!! All of the food is fresh, healthy, & tasty!! I appreciate a locally owned healthy place to eat at. Thank you!!! The atmosphere is cozy & the vibe is chill and nice. read more

Friendly people. I love that they are conscientious about the nutritional values in their food. I love that they try to source locally. I usually eat the wraps, but am planning to branch out soon to other items. I love the outdoor seating area. one of my favorite spots to eat downtown. :-) read more

I ate at Urban Fresh, it was wonderful. I can recommend the Green Goddess wrap. Pros; great vegan food, great service, good atmosphere, reasonable prices. Cons; they're only open week days, and only till 2pm. read more

The food here is SO GOOD and it's really great the whole restaurant is vegan so you can order without worry. It's also very celiac safe as they are very conscious of what has gluten and what doesn't, and you don't have to worry about cross contamination. This is home style vegan cooking at its finest! And very healthy too. My only complaint is the hours. Unless you work downtown or live nearby it's really hard to get there during business hours (lunch only). I wish they were open for dinner at least once or twice a week. I love this place so much and rarely get to go as I work way up in the east foothills. read more

I really, really enjoyed my visit to Urban Fresh recently. I've been downtown so many times, but had never noticed Urban Fresh (or honestly, any of the other restaurants in the immediate area around them), so I was pleasantly surprised to walk up and see such a cute outdoor patio area. When I walked in, I was warmly greeted and ordered a smoothie (got the Funky Monkey and it was delicious, I'd never had maca before)! The service was super quick and they even gave me a complimentary larger size. The smoothie was super filling and would make a great meal replacement, if you're on the go. So yeah, I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the downtown area! read more

If you're vegan and/or gluten free and like healthy fresh food, please do yourself a favor and GO EAT AT URBAN FRESH!!!! You'll have a new favorite! read more

I've been to this location twice and loved both experiences. The first time my friend and I came here and we both got smoothies and the pad Thai wrap. I had my daughter with me and the guy there (possibly owner?) gave my daughter a delicious peanut butter scone, she LOVED it. The pad Thai wraps were delicious. We both got food to go today and we are both super happy with it. I got the taco salad and pad Thai wrap and they did a great job with the to go packaging which is awesome because I got them to take to work the next few days :) I plan on getting more food to go from here and using it kind of like meal prep. My friend said the carrot hot dogs and she said they were delicious. It came with two carrot hotdogs and a side salad. Please keep up the good work : read more

One of my favorite places in Tucson. Safe and convenient pick up, great prices, and always switching it up with exciting specials. The food here is always fresh and delicious. The outdoor seating area is cozy and spaced out nicely. The family that owns this restaurant is so sweet and caring. I can't get enough of their beautiful food!

First, my husband and I are not vegan. BUT, we are are on a weight loss commitment which means we are trying to eat healthfully. After a long drive to the southern part of the state we headed home. Yelp told us one of the best restaurants in Tucson was Urban Fresh, which is Vegan and I was enthralled with the food. I'm here to tell you I had the most amazing, best-est salad of my lifetime here. It is apparently a new addition called the "Power Slaw Salad." It contained quinoa, kale, cabbage broccoli, almonds, sweet potatoes, cranberries, apple and the BEST dressing of all time, cashew dressing. I'm not a foodie I guess, because I've never heard of cashew dressing. How in the world did that goodness come from cashews? Well, the chef came out to talk with us because I asked how it was made. She was very sweet and accommodating. The portion was huge and I ended up sharing the last third with my husband. I didn't want to leave a morsel behind. I also enjoyed a bowl of Italian Zuppa loaded with garbanzo beans and a very tasty broth. I could not finish it, but luckily my husband did. It was perfect for a chilly Arizona day. The staff were very friendly too. Everyone was easy going and I was able to relax in the cozy environment. We were checked on a couple of times and chatted with our server. He was very sweet. I am very pleased by the experience overall. Alas, it was not the low calorie lunch we had imagined as cashews pack a wallop of calories, but I feel we ate healthfully and I have plenty of calories left for a light dinner. Thank you Urban Fresh. It was delightful. read more

Had the special today, and as usual it was phenomenal. Fresh greens with delicious stuffed shells and focaccia bread. Chauncey and Dana are awesome people, and they always have the best food downtown. read more

Killer vegan food. REAL VEGAN FOOD. So many salads and fresh leaves and goodness. I can already tell we're going to be back over and over again. I loved the taco salad and loved that the "meat" substitute was made from beans and not a fake meat and there wasn't a bunch of gross fake daiya cheese or something. And it was delicious!! Thank you for existing guys!!! SO MUCH YUM. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now and I totally love them. Not only are the juices, smoothies, and salads excellent, the owner is a great guy and always friendly and happy to see you. My favorites are the liquid lunch (juice), funky monkey (smoothie), yin and yang salad, and south of the border wrap. Super fresh ingredients, I'm glad they are walking distance from my office! read more

Urban Fresh - Yin and Yang salad - Vegan Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Hands down, the BEST vegan restaurant in all of Tucson. My daughter, who is vegan, researched this restaurant and had been dying to try it since she had read its reviews. Everything we tried was delicious and very fresh. We had the green goddess salad (possibly the best tasting salad we have ever tasted), the power slaw, rainbow wrap, and the funky monkey smoothy. Soooo delicious! We also had veggies with homemade hummus (ask for 2 sides of humus). So glad we found this vegan restaurant to go to every time we visit Tucson! read more

Customer Service is excellent very friendly and Kind. The food is guilt free consumption. I have yet to try a raw food meal that wasn't tasty. Great quality. Nourish your being and stop by... your body will thank you. The atmosphere is relaxing inside and outside dinning options. read more

Delightful little gem of raw and vegan food off the main drag in the struggling trying to be up-and-coming downtown Tucson. I am not a local so I am not sure of the reasons for the very hit-or-miss Vibe of the area but it is worth leaving the main Street hipster bar crawl and venting a couple of blocks down the back street to get the Green Goddess wrap or the steller mushroom burger. We were very impressed with the quality in the freshness of the food. The people are clearly dedicated and very kind. I found a bit dark inside but that seems to be the MO here in Tucson, maybe because it is a hot desert with bright Sun? There's an outdoor eating area for those of you who like more light. read more

The owner of this establishment is so nice! I highly recommend this place if you are a plant-based eater!

Oh Urban Fresh, how I love thee. Just a stone's throw away from my office, this has been become a weekly staple in my lunch selection. Urban Fresh puts the "fresh" in "refreshing", let me tell you. They make your order on the spot with fresh ingredients, and have rotating delicious specials, in case their main menu isn't enticing enough for you. Often the healthy, vegan/vegetarian restaurant selections seem to be bored with their own menus, and lack the enthusiasm of creative recipes - but that's not the case here at Urban Fresh! The owner always has a smile on his face, and greets customers in a personal manner, where you truly feel welcomed and happy to support local. Highly recommend, I often order the Green Goddess salad, or Liquid Lunch juice. read more

Carefully crafted fare to nourish the body and soul. The inventor, owner, chef, amazing guy prepared our great PadThai wraps, and served them to us on the shaded sidewalk seating. Great lunch experience read more

AMAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!! Hands down!!!! Love this place great service and warm hearted people, the food is super great

Urban Fresh is a quaint vegan cafe that's open located in downtown Tucson. It's a convenient lunch spot with quick turnaround on the food and some delicious options if you're into some healthy and refreshing bites. The menus options include fresh juice, smoothies, wraps, soups, a mushroom burger, and much more. The staff that works at Urban Fresh is likely to check in with you multiple times during your meal to make sure everything is satisfactory, which in itself is unique to most dining experiences. If you're unaccustomed to vegan food, don't shy away! The food is delicious and you won't regret a fresh juice in an ice wrap. I promise you'll leave feeling refreshed and full. read more

Where do I even begin with this place? Since there is simply too much to cover here (and all of it good if not totally spectacular - just keep reading) I'll cover the basics briefly then cut right to the spectacular... If you like raw, organic or plant-based cuisine, Urban Fresh is perfect. You'll find everything that you're looking for and a few things that will surprise and delight you: Fresh juices and smoothies, delicious wraps and sandwiches and sides that aren't fried. If you need a visual aid just look up on the TV screen to see pictures of all of their menu items. I immediately wanted to order the slideshow on Netflix. At any rate, their every day menu is all fresh and unprocessed just as their website promises. And now for the spectacular... Ask the chef - who must be the owner given the passion that he exhibits for his food and the level of attention that he provides you with from the moment you walk through the door - this guy is nothing short of awesome - ask him what's NOT on the menu. We were offered a raw burger - the likes of which I have never seen before or since - with a raw, house-made ketchup and house-made pickle on the side. It was totally unique and totally, well, spectacular. It's almost hard to describe because I've never had anything like it. Ever. You need to try it just to see what I'm talking about. I would go back (to Tucson and Urban Fresh) for this dish alone. read more
