My friend was up from OC to hang out, and I remembered Urbane Cafe had a really good menu with vegan/vegetarian options. She ordered the Tofu Bahn MI and Portobello mushroom (no cheese) sandwiches. I had planned ahead, and did the Crunchy Peanut Salad, subbed chicken with Tofu, extra Endamame, (I forgot to request remove honey peanuts), and asked if peanut dressing was vegan- Mike, the cashier, went back to check with kitchen, and yes, ingredients were only peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar & tamari! Perfect! The manager, Matthew, delivered our food to our table, and he said that Mike made sure the focaccia bread on side for me was wrapped separate, as it was vegan, yet in kitchen with possible cross contamination. Matthew said they are very conscientious if a customer is vegan or vegetarian to be mindful of their orders. I was completely blown away! Huge shout out to Mike, and the manager Matthew for the care that is so rare! I'll definitely be back more often. read more

A convenient and reasonably affordable fast-casual restaurant specializing in sandwiches and salads/bowls with a more multicultural/fusion "green" lean, with healthy, yet filling entrees that matches a wide variety of palettes. I particularly enjoyed my Salmon bowl, although the dishes tend to be on the lighter side for a full entree/dish. Complimentary focaccia bread is a nice touch, though a bit plain in flavor in my opinion! Overall, an enjoyable meal! read more

Love this place! I never feel guilty about eating ANYTHING on the menu, as every item is fresh, natural, and full of goodness. The only exception to the rule is the cookies sold here, and even then, I close my eyes when I bite into them so that I won't see or feel guilty :) The menu is extensive, and every item is freshly prepared and delicious! The employees here are always friendly and happy, which is a positive. The restaurant is always clean and well-maintained. My dining experience during each of my previous visits has been positive. read more

Very clean and organized. My order was bagged and ready at the back when i arrived. read more

Get their Chinese peanut salad but replace it with tofu. Pretty delicious I just wish they added extra ingredients. Always seems a bit empty to me. The focaccia bread is good I eat it with Nutella lol it's good and healthy but I wouldn't come all the time especially for the price. Staff is sometimes friendly not always and I always order to go. read more

This review is for Urbane Cafe location in the city of Azusa. The cafe is located in a shopping complex next to Starbucks. It has limited parking and have a small eating area.

Every sandwich order comes with a fresh side of green salad. Drinks are self serve. Definitely, a go to sandwich place. read more

I've ordered from this place through UberEats more times than I can count, and everything has been consistently fresh, delicious, and healthy. I've tried the bowls, sandwiches, salads, and even the cookies. Everything's been great. My favorites are definitely the Salmon Bowl and the Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl. Portions are generous, prices are decent, and it's become one of my regular go-to spots. read more

Five stars you gotta really know what you're doing and you gotta get it right in order for me to give you five stars!!. I don't patronize no business. I don't patronize people. I tell the truth right to the T.!. this restaurant oh my God, the particular bowl that I get which is that I want they let me modify it. Take some of those tomatoes in those radishes and all that out and put those black beans in there with that sauce oh my God, it is delicious. I came back two days in a row... It could be three days four days five days.;))))))) let me mention this before I go. The staff is amazing very very accommodating.!!!!! read more

At first when I started coming here, I thought it was just OK. However, my kids love this place so we've been coming here more and more. The food here is very fresh. The bread is freshly baked in their oven and their prices are very fair. Their service has always been stellar and everybody here seems to be very happy and nice. The more I come the better of the food gets and I would say everything here as well thought out and well executed. Looking forward to coming here for various lunches and just wanted to thank them. read more

Today was my first time stopping by to get lunch. I ordered the Cilantro chicken salad. It was really delicious and fresh. Customer service was great! I will be coming back. read more

Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl: 5/5, I've gotten this a couple of times before and it's always been very consistent! The tuna pairs well with the ponzu, rice, and veggies. Besides the tuna, the BEST PART was the bread wedge that comes on the side and it left me wanting moreee. Although it was $13.95, the ingredients were high quality and the meal was delicious. Urbane Cafe has online ordering pick-up and a seating area for dine-in. We ordered for dine-in and waited less than 10 minutes for the food! If you want something quick that's not fast food, I recommend this place for sandwiches, soups, rice bowls, or if you just want something healthier. read more

I didn't realize that there were multiple locations of Urbane Cafe all over LA-- turns out that the first store was in Ventura County and expanded out here. The food is fresh, flavorful, and diverse (in selection and flavor)-- as expected of SoCal establishments. Service is quick and efficient-- you order your food at the counter and sit inside to dine in. I loved the white chocolate cranberry cookie and chimichurri steak sandwich I tried. The cookie was warm (baked fresh) and had a nice chew to it, and the steak sandwich was made with fresh bread! The price was great too (less than $15 for a sandwich and salad, which is hard to come by these days), especially since the food was fresh, high quality, and healthy! I'm definitely coming back when I'm craving a lil treat (so excited to try all of their other offerings on their menu as well)! read more

This is part of a chain. Lots of options for vegetarians. Friend ordered portobello mushroom sandwich and I got the Moroccan beet tofu salad. I forgot to photograph her meal. I thought mine was very tasty. Service was OK and they also have a self serve kiosk. They do have a rewards program and when you sign up, you get a free cookie. The portion size was pretty good, and I only ate half. Ambience was OK. Simple café style. So many tasty items on their menu that I have to go back. read more

I really love the Urbane Cafe location in Azusa! What makes this place extra awesome is Matthew, the General Manager! He has amazing customer service and always greets with a smile! This past week, I went in to order my usual and Matthew has it memorized! I told him I'd wait for my food outside and less than a minute, he brought me my order. I was amazed at how quick of a turnaround and mentioned it to him. He said " I saw you coming and I put in your order for you." I was blown away!!! That...is excellent customer service! Kudos to Matthew and his team! Great place to go... read more

I have tried a good amount of things here and liked a handful of items. This has been a great lunch spot for my man and I when we don't want to cook or we want something light and healthy. Honorable mentions that we get often are... Salads: crunchy peanut salad, cilantro chicken, and their newest salad the ahi. Each of the salads comes with their freshly baked bread wedge. For sandwiches we like chimichurri tri tip, pesto and sun dried tomato, the southwest, and their newest salad kid's turkey sandwich. When you ordered their sandwiches it comes with a side house salad. For the kid's meal it comes with either chips or fruit. No drink however. We like the cookies too. There's fruit cup has strawberries, grapes, cantaloupes, and pineapples. It's a little mushy however. There's a Kiosk to order without having to talk to anyone but we usually order through the app and earn points there. Lots of seating area and they wipe the tables down but we usually order to go. read more

Flavor 4/5 - I have ordered a few different things here, and I enjoyed each of them. Notably, I love the Barramundi bowl and the paired aioli. The bread and cookies are really good as well! Price 3.5/5 - The prices are pretty good for the quality and the portion size. Quality 3.5/5 - They use all fresh ingredients, and the menu has a good variety of items. The bread is made fresh along with the cookies. Unfortunately, I am not sure if anything is organic, and I want to say I saw a sign saying they use avocado oil to cook, but I am not sure. Service 4/5 - The service was pretty good, and our food came out fast. They are pretty busy, and the servers are kind. Ambiance - Fast casual, fresh, healthy. read more

I came here today for the first time and I'm definitely returning soon! I ordered the ahi tuna salad and it was delicious! The dressing was on the side and enough for the salad. It came with a piece of their bread which was out of this world soft and delicious! So addicting! They have a self order option as soon as you come in with giant screens to see the menu and order. Their physical menu is also available but I noticed it's super high up...it felt like I had to turn nearly toward the ceiling to see it lol! I am glad this is such a healthy place to eat and option around since there are so many fast food places within this area with not so many healthy choices. There is ample parking and they have curbside pickup parking right in front. read more

Ordered off Grubhub and it got delivered early. I was tempted to order extra chicken after reading a review but the amount was fine with me. I really liked how flavorful it was and the dressing went very well with everything! The only thing I didn't like is that part of my focaccia bread got a little soggy but otherwise that was tasty too. I'd order from this place again. (: read more

I was craving a good salad so decided to give Urbane Cafe a try. It hit the spot perfectly! First, they have delicious fresh brewed iced tea (very important to me), and the rest of my family said the craft sodas and auga frescas were good. Friendly, good service to place our order and receive our food. The food was make to order, full of delicious fresh ingredients, yet came out pretty quickly. I had the Cafe salad, and some of the Cranberry Brie sandwich on gluten-free focaccia bread. Both were great! My son ordered the bbq chicken sandwich, which he enjoyed, he just said he would have liked to have another option for the type of bread, such as sourdough. We finished off the meal with a perfect, warm chocolate chip cookie. The restaurant had a nice, relaxed atmosphere, with inside and outside seating. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Warning!! Their bread is addictive. Be careful... because it's so soft and delicious! At Urbane, I've tried the ahi tuna salad, salmon salad, barramundi fish sandwich, and the chimichurri steak sandwich. Everything was delicious. I did prefer the ahi tuna salad over the salmon salad though. The sandwiches come with a side salad (delicious), and at first look, I did think they were on the smaller side but they are actually quite filling. I thought I would be hungry after eating it. Although the size of the sandwich may be smaller than what I imagined, the quality of ingredients really makes up for it. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for healthy, delicious sandwiches, salads, and bowls. read more

Checked Urbane Cafe out today for lunch with my husband and daughter. Plenty of parking (found a shady spot!) It was packed! Only one table free. We used the touchscreen system to order as all the staff looked busy prepping food or bringing it out to tables. Clean and bright inside. Very modern looking, next to a Starbucks. Not a whole lot of personality to the ambience but good enough for a cafe setting. At least there was no TV, and the music was medium loud but not overbearing. We ordered the --bbq tritip sandwich (4/5): tender meat, side salad a nice accompaniment --the ahi tuna bowl (5/5): all the textures and flavors tasted amazing together and it was so refreshing to eat something light yet filling on such a hot day --the Bella portobello mushroom sandwich with added bacon and avocado (3.5/5): could've used more seasoning on the actual mushrooms We did not really interact much with any of the staff but they did bring out our order quickly and seemed to work well together as a team. Overall a positive experience. I would come here again! read more

I had eaten at the Urbane Cafe in Pasadena and just fell in love with their Ahi Poke Sandwich. It was so delicious. My dear friend mentioned they have a newly opened location at Azusa. I had to check it out so here I am. It's located diagonally across Azusa Pacific University. It has spacious inside and limited outside patio seating. Upon entry, you have the option to order at the 2 kiosks or 2 registers. Honestly, I didn't see the kiosks until after I ordered at the register LOL. Ambiance is quite nice actually... I got a romantic feeling especially in the evening. Might be a good place to bring a date LOL. Anyway, the lady who took my order was friendly and pleasant. She recommended the Southwest chicken soup which I got along with my Ahi Poke Sandwich that I had to get again. Thank you miss for the recommendation! Both were just delicious!! Sandwich had a big chunk of lightly seared ahi tuna surrounded with fresh crisp lettuce & pickled daikon + carrots topped with their amazing combination of aioli, sushi, and wasabi sauces. Yum yum!!! My eldest daughter says it's a twist on the Vietnamese banh mi sandwich, but with fish LOL. A very good twist to say the least. Btw, all sandwiches come with a salad, but if you want to substitute it for soup, it will cost extra. I also wanted to try the Southwest Chicken Sandwich so I got that, too. For this one, I kept the salad. This is a hot sandwich with a tender chicken filet, sauteed mushrooms, and tons of cheese with a spicy kick to it. All ingredients complement one another... very tasty!!! Last, but not least, I saw the fresh warm house baked cookies right in front of my eyes LOL. That's how they pull you in, place what's good in front of you. I couldn't resist and had to try all 4 of them... seasalt caramel, white chocolate cranberry, double white chocolate, and chocolate chip. Yummy cookies, but a tad on the pricier side... $2.95 per cookie. My favorites are the white chocolate cranberry and seasalt caramel. Come get yourself some tasty sandwiches and cookies right here at Urbane Cafe!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

seared ahi tuna salad was really good!! i'm sometimes hesitant to order raw fish from somewhere that doesn't specialize in it, but u don't need to worry about that with urbane cafe. the greens in the salad were crisp and i liked that they had the dressing automatically on the side so u can control how much u pour in. i will say that $16 is a tiny bit steep for something that doesn't even come with a drink, so just keep that in mind. u order at a kiosk so service was nice and discrete. probably a good spot to study at since it's mostly takeout orders during the day. the restaurant also has bar seating and floor to ceiling windows upon entrance so that's why that salad pic is so nice lol. get's a little hot in the summer but overall a great alternative to panera if you're looking to splurge a little more. read more

I am so happy there is an Urbane Cafe near by since most eateries around the area are all fast foods. I ordered online through the app and picked up in store. The staffs were very helpful in directing me to where the online orders are at. I got the Mediterranean bowl with no extra protein. The bowl was filling! It comes with mixed grain rice, sweet potato, kale, cucumber and tomatoes and topped with hummus. Everything was in perfect portion! The restaurant is not big but it has plenty of seats and very clean. Perfect place to enjoy some healthy food! read more

I wasn't expecting much from a salad and sandwich cafe but wow, this has become a favorite restaurant of mine so fast! It's located on the corner of Alosta and Citrus and shares a small parking lot with Starbucks but you can also park in the larger lot next to it. The inside is clean and spacious with good seating. You can order upfront at the register or on the app. I've done both and as lovely as the employees are, the app is super user friendly to order from especially if you do take out. I've ordered two salads, the cafe and crunchy peanut salad. My favorite is the crunchy peanut salad since it was packed with yummy fresh greens and veggies. The flavor profile was very cohesive with the honey roasted peanuts and housemade peanut dressing. I also enjoy their housemade cilantro dressing as well! Each salad comes with a quarter of their focaccia bread. It's quite simple but the bread is soft with a hint of salt on top, it's so good! My husband and I also tried the pesto sun dried sandwich and chimichurri steak sandwich. I'm a fan of the steak sandwich! They also have hand crafted sodas and agua frescas. My favorite is the strawberry yuzu, it is absolutely refreshing with a unique fruity flavor. Overall, this is a simple but very healthy and tasty cafe to try! Their salads are not boring and the pricing is pretty decent! Will definitely keep coming back! read more

I wish I could give 10 stars. OMG! I found this place through Yelp. I was looking for healthy alternatives to fast food. And I am so glad I did! I ordered a salmon salad and a chicken cilantro salad both to go. I'm having the salmon now. The chicken I will have later for dinner. Both salads are made from fresh crisp greens and other fresh and flavorful ingredients. I've only tasted the salmon at the time of this review, but it is amazing. The dressing is so good. And can we mention the homemade focaccia?? I've never had focaccia this fresh and this good before. Lastly, they have fresh baked hot and gooey cookies. My fave is the chocolate chip, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Yes I did buy one of each. Ne y time I will have to wear blinder and pretend that I don't see the cookies, or they will sucker me in every time. read more

I absolutely would recommend Urbane to anyone who is a fan of delicious, fulfilling gourmet sandwiches! The Californian (vegetarian) and the Chimichurri Steak sandwiches are my favorites. I usually order pick up from the Azusa location, and my orders are always ready by the time I get there. I would note that if you order a fountain drink, you will have to ask for your cup from the counter, and from the times I've been in the store, either staff is busy with another customer or there's nobody at the counter. The interior is clean and bright, even though it's a cozier location. I also saw that they offer field trips for schools, which is a great experience for students to see what culinary and business skills they can procure. read more

The salads are great, however if you order for pickup you have to check for your correct order. The dressings are not right the gluten free bread they forget and that alone costs $3.50 . Which you should get a refund. Many many times they give you the wrong dressing. read more

I ordered for pick up using their app. The process was simple and my order was ready within 15 minutes. I ordered the BBQ Salad and my partner the cilantro chicken. We also added a tomato soup and a Baja enchilada soup. I found the bbq salad to be really tasty. The tomato soup was also good. The best part was the soft bread. It went perfectly with my meal. My partner on the other hand was underwhelmed with the cilantro chicken salad. He enjoyed the enchilada soup and fresh bread as well. read more

I was so excited when I saw that Urbane Cafe was coming to Azusa. I first tried it when I used to reside in the Bakersfield area. This new location is located in a shopping center next to Azusa Pacific University. The staff is very welcoming. You are greeted as you enter. They have a pick-up section for online orders to the left of the entrance area. The order area is directly in front as you walk in. They also have order kiosks available to place orders. The inside is bright with tables inside and outside available. Service and food preparation is fast. They have many different meal options available. Some of my favorites are: cilantro torta, southwest sandwich, salmon bowl, ahi salad, and the baja enchilada soup. I love their fresh baked focaccia bread. It's light and buttered. Their cookies are also delicious, especially the double chocolate cookie. They have an app and rewards system available. You earn 10 points per dollar. You're able to redeem for cookies, drinks, soup, bread, kid's meal, and a sandwich, bowl, or salad. You can also place your online order through their app. The app also has a receipt upload section to help you keep track of the in-person transactions. I look forward to more visits in the future. read more

The entirety of my order history from Urbane Cafe is one Salmon bowl after the next. I loved it the first time I bought it and have been consistently ordering it. The last couple of times, portion sizes have gotten smaller and smaller. If it is a matter of training employees to fill up the boil to what it should be, then that is advisable. If it is a matter of inflation and the restaurant is trying to remain profitable, that's understandable. But then offer different sizes of bowls at different pricing. It makes the customer feel like they are being played when you charge the same but portions are completely inconsistent. read more
