We have been going to Urbane Cafe for a while now (1yr plus) and being someone with Celiac, I always got salads and enjoyed them! Recently, they released GF bread as an option; making all of their sandwiches available to me now in a way they never had before. This might seem small to most, but this changed my options from 2 to 10. Not to mention their GG bread is DELICIOUS. You can also get the side of bread with dipping sauce and make it GF for like $1. I have celiac, diagnosed over 10 years ago and do not get sick when we order takeout from this Urbane; which is almost a weekly occurrence in our household! read more

I rarely assign 5 stars but this place deserves it, hands down! I have been coming to this location since they opened and thought it was about time for a review. This place, regardless of restaurant type, has delivered the most consistent experience, professionalism and quality time after time! One of very few whose value, service and price point remains constant even through the pandemic. Their staff is obviously well-trained and take pride in their location as the courtesy , cleanliness and positive energy shines throughout. It goes without saying I will be back and I highly recommend this establishment especially now as budgets get tighter and tighter. read more

Urbane Cafe - Salmon Salad and yes, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. - Sandwiches Near Me - El Cajon, California

Great customer service and great food. We were instantly greeted by Marco upon arrival. He was super patient while our party of 4 ordered. We enjoyed: Gourmet Grilled Cheese with house side salad (mixed baby greens, mandarin orange garnish, parmesan cheese, tossed in nutty vinegarette), Santa Maria BBQ Salad with Focaccia Bread, Club Sandwich with house side salad, and Vegan Protein Salad. Everything was very good and we enjoyed it. This place is consistently fresh and makes you feel good. Thanks to Marco & his co-worker, we had a wonderful experience. They both even said goodbye and thank you when we were leaving after our meal. We will be back for that great hospitality. read more

Went to Urbane Cafe today for lunch. Amazing salad and a snickerdoodle cookie to end the meal. Katlyn was amazing about helping decide which sweet treat cookie to get Snickerdoodle cookie was the best I have had yet. Very professional and kind staff. This shop is on my list of favorites. Facility was extremely clean. Also kudos for serving old fashioned sodas. It reminded me of my childhood. read more

Amazing Staff i got the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich great flavor and also got a Chocolate Chip cookie was also Delicious.All around great food Customer service was also great. Thanks for the great food. read more

The cilantro salad is basically just mixed greens and boiled chicken? At least, that is what it tastes like. On the menu, it sounds delicious, grilled marinated cilantro chicken, corn, black beans, avocado, cheese and cilantro dressing. What could go wrong? Except when they give you 4 corn kernals, never saw a black bean, the avocado is brown and mushy, oops, did we say cheese, just kidding, no cheese and the dressing was actually tasty. The most frustrating is that the chicken tasted and looked like boiled or can chicken. There was zero flavor, no indication that it was grilled, it may have been processed chicken? Either way, if you're looking for a tasty salad for lunch, I would avoid this one. I've had other things at Urbane Cafe that have been good but this was not one of them. read more

This was our first time here. The service was great, our server was welcoming and helpful since I told her it was our first time. I chose the turkey, cranberry, and Brie sandwich. The cranberry and Brie combination is a great taste. I forget what my wife ordered, she enjoyed her sandwich as well. We ate our meal there and found the setting was comfortable and calm. We'll be back. (Glad we went there instead of In and Out). read more

In town for work and I was craving one of their salads! Keep in mind, I'm like Sally from "When Harry Met Sally" when I order food.

Urbane continues to make terrific salads and sandwiches as I learned at this new location in El Cajon. This time however, I went for the Santa Maria BBQ Chicken Salad with Smoked Apple Wood Bacon for about $10. The salad comes with goat cheese but I switched that up with feta cheese and asked for buttermilk blue cheese dressing. Both I felt were a great choice. They really loaded up the salad with the bacon, not that there is any thing wrong with that, given that it was very good, but I wish they would of done the same thing with the chicken. The chicken was terrific. It was very tender and flavorful. The blackberry BBQ sauce was subtle and tasty. I was glad the sauce did not overwhelm the rest of the salad ingredients. The corn & black bean salsa was very nice, the grape tomatoes, and chopped salad slaw mix were great, and even better with their house creamy buttermilk blue cheese dressing. Kaitlin was on the floor and she did a great job with service. She offered cookie samples and asked if one needed anything else. Great service and great food. Oh yes! The focaccia that came along the salad rocked! read more

So good! I hadn't been to Urbane Cafe since the Yelp Elite Event years ago at the Encinitas location. So when I saw a chance to attend the VIP pre-opening party, I jumped on it! I was even able to bring a +1! They had quite a line for the dinner session, so luckily we got there early. It's located in a new center with In n Out, across from Parkway Plaza. Other businesses will be opening soon. They were very generous, and everyone got an entree (salad or sandwich) a drink, and mini cookies. Since there were a bunch of us eating together, some of us shared plates so we could try a bunch of things. We shared the Chimichurri Tri-tip sandwich, BBQ chicken salad, and chicken tortilla soup. I also tried some of my friend's pizza. The BBQ chicken salad is great, has a lot of great ingredients. It's way better than the similar salad at CPK! The steak sandwich was also very delicious, and came with a small side salad. The soup was also good, and since the pizza was very mild, it would be great for kids. They make all of their focaccia in house, and you can tell. They also bake their cookies fresh. We tried the mini versions, so we got to try bitefuls of all of them. They cram a ton of chocolate chips into the classic cookie, so good! They also have lemonade, tea, Coke, and Batch Sodas. I love the Shirley Temple & Black Cherry. If you are in the area (or near another UC location), definitely check them out! Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. The owners were there to say hi to everyone, and welcome them to the family! read more

I've been eating at urbane for awhile, and this is the first time I am disappointed with the service. My food was cold, in example. Bread was cold and doughy, cheese wasn't melted right, and the worse part.. they forgot my aioli in the sandwich. read more

Came across Urbane Cafe from a fellow yelper for their opening and I'm grateful for the recommendation and the experience. Upon arrival, there was a line, but the staff had it moving efficiently all while having samples of cookies to try along the way (all of which were great btw). When I looked at the menu, it really struck me as a kind of so-cal menu where you have a lot of fresh options and a variety of sandwiches, salads, and other lunch options. Really liked seeing all the fresh ingredients being prepared behind the counter and the freshly baked breads and cookies as well. We ended up going with the Ahi Tuna salad and Chimichurri steak. Both were flavorful, filling and fresh! I like how the sandwich orders still come with salad on the side too. Staff was incredibly friendly and did a great job at getting orders out in a timely manner. Will definitely stop by once I'm in the area again for a hike! read more

Urbane Cafe is one of my favorite Soup, Salad, and Sandwich places. The food is always so fresh and tasty! My good friend Jen G. (*Shout out*) let me know about the newest location in beautiful El Cajon, California. Although I visited on a hot day, the guests were all cool and the salads were wonderful! I feasted on a seasonal treat - their Miso Salmon salad with a bowl of delicious Chicken Tortilla soup. The salad was prepared to perfection and the soup was heavenly. I am clearly a fan of Urbane Cafe. Definitely give 'em a try - you won't be disappointed! read more

This is one of our go-to places, whether its to dine-in, order to-go, or get it delivered. All of their menu items are delicious, but mine and hubby's favorites are the Bella Portabello and the Santa Maria BBQ sandwiches! They also have a new drink, a Dragon Fruit agua fresca which is pretty refreshing. Daughter's a big fan of their kid's pizza and their PB&J sandwich. Don't forget about their homemade fresh cookies. My favorite favor is the Cranberry White Chocolate cookie. The staff are always friendly, establishment is always nice and clean, and the ambience is perfect! I highly recommend you give this place a try if you've never been. Your tastebuds will thank you! read more

Met up with a prior coworker for dinner back in February. The food was delicious and the service was great.

Would definitely recommend. read more

My kids wanted to order food somewhere so were researching someplace that we could easily find a gluten free / dairy free meal for my youngest who has trouble digesting those. The kids were not disappointed. The gentleman at the register was knowledgeable about what had dairy and let us know what we could replace stuff with. I was also impressed with the natural sodas they had available at the soda fountain. The kids enjoyed their meals and decided this will be our new go to place to eat. read more
