My husband and I got the Santa Maria Salad and the Cilantro Chicken Salad. Both salads were more than enough and not too pricey considering the size. Overall no complaints here!! Will be a return customer read more

Wow amazing , loved the Southwest and the vegetarian chilly . You guys must try and the sandwiches come with a delicious salad . Love it my new favorite place read more

food is very healthy!! Highly recommend, very friendly staff!!! They keep it very clean!

Great place!!! I was intending to eat at the place next to it but it was busy so i was like let me try this place. Saw their menu and how healthy the items were. Ordered the chicken cilantro salad and it was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Great service, the food is really good. The dish that would be recommended to get would be the Baja bowl which is tasty

Food was good cookies are unreal and the nicest girl took my order her name was Sarah definitely coming back!

Friendly service and absolutely delicious food! I had the Ahi salad and the dressing was so good! My husband has the club and he loved it too. Service was great and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I can't wait to go back! read more

Wasn't able to leave a review on Grubhub funnily enough so I was determined to leave one somewhere. I used GH to deliver from El Cajon location. Have gone to MV locations for years and food is always fresh and correct. At El Cajon location they ignored special directions (requested no spicy sauce on a meal for a child), sent unfresh food (rotten lettuce in salads), and despite throwing half of the entire order away...gave me food poisoning!! Never ever will eat here again! read more

I have been impatiently waiting for the urbane in east county to open for a while now and I am happy to report this is doing the other locations great justice. I actually just sat down to your sandwich to critique its authenticity and ya know what? I can tell your managers and owners did as well. I am so cal addict in every sense of the word and their so cal chicken sandwich is the leader of my pack. That sandwich is effing perfect. This locations version was damn near as well. The only criticism I'll give is this- The bread is slightly too thick which doesn't let it get crispy enough in the oven. The spongy texture is albeit better than most sandwich places out there but this is urbane; the leader of fresh baked bread sandwich places. Ok, I might be the only person in the world with that opinion but since I do, you should definitely note my feedback. The chicken is a little bit....suspect. Ok so I am insanely picky about my sandwich chicken but also you should be too. Because your other locations are. Well the other one I've been to a trillion times; Linda Vista, that is. What else... OH service! KILLER. The reality is, I don't even really write positive yelp reviews anymore. I mean, does anyone? This is a dark and cynical country now a days and y'all actually made me grab my phone to write this. In El Cajon! Great customer service! Friendly faces, people actually working and not starting at phones or giving the customers dirty looks! It's like some kind of sorcery I haven't seen in a long time. read more

Nice to have some good healthier food options in good old east county!! The two girls up at the front are so very friendly! They go above and beyond to make sure all the customers are happy!!! I am not sure their names but it's so nice to frequent a business that has such happy employees!!! read more

Bought the Mediterranean sandwich that came with a salad and a side of BUGS. avoid this location, there was an actual dead wasp in my food

The staff was very courteous and went out of their way to accommodate my specific changes to my order, excellent customer service and recommended dining experience. read more

Amazing fresh food in El Cajon! I love their sandwiches and salads. So glad they moved to El Cajon. :)

I give this place two stars because I came in for something with Salmon. The man working the counter was helpful in helping me pick something however, what I purchased came out extremely gross. My Salmon didn't have any flavor and was a bit dry. It came with a side salad (which I didn't know) the side salad had a weird taste of bitterness. I went back in to ask if there was any other options I could try but they said it would have to be purchased again although I didn't actually eat anything on my plate. At this point I'm sitting on their patio still hungry without wi-fi. Safe to say I tried it but this place wasn't for me. read more

I was provided a free meal after this event and my experiences since have been free of drama. I'll chock up my past experience to a fluke, which happens. The food has always been good and the service, excluding the event mentioned in my last review, have been positive. read more

The food was good. Service was good. It's nice they have outdoor seating so we could enjoy our meal without having to take it home.

Blown away by the food taste & quality. Chicken sandwich was absolutely to die for. Fresh fruit, great soda machine and extremely friendly staff made me a very happy customer. Do not forget to get your cookie!!!! Well done!!!!! read more

This place has really good food. It's actually pretty hard to find really good salad places in this area, but this is the new go to place for eating lunch out! They always have great customer service and are very very helpful! They've even held the door open for me walking out to the patio a couple times, how sweet! Will be coming here probably once a week read more

I used their website to order food for my staff and it was a great experience. I was able to name every order so the food already came marked with the name. This is the best experience from any online order. We got there early to pick up our order and they were very accommodating and friendly. Absolutely love this place. Thank you for all the hard work you all put into to make this place awesome. read more

First time trying this place and it didn't disappoint. If you are picking up an order I recommend calling it in. It only took 15 minutes and when I tried to do it online it said 45 minutes. The woman on the phone was very friendly. Order was ready in the time they said even though it was the rush hour for lunch. The food was really good. All quality, fresh ingredients. I like Panera but they give small amounts for a lot of money. This place gave you much more food for less. I will go back for sure. read more

The food was delicious. Top quality. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again. Good vegetarian options.

The food was excellent I had the California but the best part of my experience was the cashier Julia at the ElCajon site. I wish all retail and service companies had an staff member like her . She was so pleasant and knowledgeable. You definitely need to pay her whatever she wants because she was that good. We brought our grand son and daughter with us and she was so attentive to our needs. Like I said the food was fantastic but Julia service outshined the food which was hard to do. read more

Great little spot in El Cajon. Everything on the menu is a healthy option and you won't feel bad about eating out. Dayan personally recommended the Mediterranean bowl and I loved it. Don't forget to grab a freshly baked cookie for dessert on your way out. read more

Healthy establishments like this come far & few! Dayan was amazing! So friendly and caring, a breath of fresh air to say the least! Incredible service, incredible food! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Nutrient dense, life-giving, great-tasting food!! read more

This place was such a sweet find in EC!!!! Especially with them being new. Sometimes it takes time for the staff to get in their groove. We had sandwiches which came with a salad and we also got the enchilada soup. Let me just say I'm not much of a soup person but...OMG it was all so delicious. The prices are decent cookies are hot when served. Everything was so yummy. The outside was nice and shaded. Very impressed. We will be back! read more

I really like this place. The side salad you get with your sandwich is a great refreshing change from chips or fries. The Southwest sandwich was really good. They also bake the focaccia bread fresh onsite. They also have fresh baked cookies that are fantastic. read more

Just had a great experience and good healthy food. Much needed in our area for those who are healthy eaters on a Keto or high protein life style change. The Poke salad was fantastic read more

Best salads with side wood-fire bread yummy balsamic vinegar so glad they open one in East-county

A nice and different restaurant on this side of El Cajon. Conveniently located great, atmosphere and awesome customer service not to mention food was great. read more

Urbane Cafe - Cilantro Chicken Salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - El Cajon, California

See all

During the current crisis they do not accept cash payments. Don't let this deter you from enjoying their amazing food. Just be prepared when you go to pay to bring in debit or credit card. It is their way of protecting us and their way of us protecting them during the pandemic. They gave me a free cookie just for the inconvenience which was by no means any inconvenience. They are so friendly and helpful and the food rocks! I have some pretty heavy duty food critics that I work with in the office and urbane cafe is a place we order lunch from often! Thanks guys! read more

Good food. Parking lot sucks during rush hour. Kinda pricy but better quality and quantity of food than P*($#a B*(#)d.

I like it here. Everything is fresh and the bread is quite good. I have been a few times and so far my favorite sandwich is the Chicken Banh Mi. It has good flavor with a little bit of spice. I did try the Morrocan sandwich once and it was kind of bland compared to the banh mi. I also like how they also add a small salad with the sandwiches and it is better quality than most side salads at other establishments. One other nice thing about the bread they use is that it doesn't get soggy! I ate half and didn't eat the other half until the next day and the bread held up quite well. read more

Love this place! I'm glad there's finally somewhere here in east county where I can get a tasty yet healthy lunch option. Parking is rough but the food is great! read more

All employees are wearing latex gloves. Good to minimize food contamination (if used and changed properly) but BAD for the customers allergic or sensitive to latex like me. I don't think they're breaking any laws in California, but most food establishments in my experience use nitrile or vinyl gloves now. There are several states that do ban latex gloves in food service. So Urbane Cafe: Get caught up!! I was really disappointed when I came to pick up my in-app order, and the 2 salads I had ordered to split with my daughter were prepared with latex. I'll have to resume asking establishments if they use latex. It won't kill me to eat (like it could for other individuals), but a hands-on food like salad would be enough exposure to keep me bent over in pain in the restroom for a few hours, plus a migraine. 3 stars because the guy behind the counter did not hesitate to make me a replacement salad when I asked him, with clean un-gloved hands, and extra credit because no attitude!! Though it would have been nice if he offered to do so first, or offered a refund, and even better if he could have replaced both salads, since my plan had been to sample both. The beet and quinoa salad was very good. read more

Food is always great. Cashier was super friendly and welcoming. Urbane is always a nice fresh and healthy place to eat.

I love this new spot! Food is absolutely delish so worth the money I highly recommend service was outstanding they are newly opened so be patient while they work out the kinks but when we there the other there was none the staff knows the food well and can guide you to something great they have craft sodas which is cool because most places have the typical soda companies this has some craft ones and they were yum cookies were fresh baked and warm my fave chocolate chip, salad:bbq chicken I would add some onions to it will do next time and the bread is so soft and fluffy my husband enjoyed it read more
