    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    We so rarely encounter attitude in Tucson, that our experience at your coffee shop on Saturday…read morereally took us aback. All 4 of us have extensive experience in the hospitality industry and appreciate the stresses. Since we are unfailingly friendly customers, as so many servers are, & because there were only 6 other customers at your coffee shop at the time, sharing our experience is warranted. We visited the Main Gate shop just after noon on Saturday, 4/18. The barista was wearing a cap & O'Neill-branded t-shirt; he has a salt & pepper beard. Requesting my cappuccino in a ceramic cup, he stated, with obvious exasperation, "You can just say 'for here'." He was also visibly irritated when we requested 3 Dirty Chais of various sizes & shot strength, as if this request was overly complicated. We would have ordered food, but he was so unwelcoming we did not. Nor did we linger. We have visited this location other times and have only been treated warmly. Clearly this barista does not represent the customer service your employees normally provide. You can train people to make a good coffee. Training them to be pleasant is more complicated & best documented. Hence, this review. An unpleasant experience like this has no place in Tucson. It's not who we are & it's not who you are either, I know. We hope this gentleman finds another line of work soon

    A conveniently located on Congress. I've had breakfast here with friends and got coffee n pastries…read morewith friends waiting to catch the Amtrak train. They open at 7am six days a week. Today it was pretty empty being Monday and they were baking banana bread with chocolate chips; smelled amazing! Our barista got our drink out fast. Seating at ground level and in their loft. Ambiance is okay, wood tables n seats. It's a cute spot. WiFi and restrooms available
