    Club sandwich
    Norma D.

    Grabbed a quick bite for lunch and stopped by here. I ordered the club sandwich with house salad. It was really good and very filling. Enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The manager was very helpful and polite. I was here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. I'll be back.

    I went here after shopping at the mall and wanted something close with vegetarian options. The service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly, although it was a little sloppy. I ordered the Bella Portobello sandwich and did not care for it or the bread, which should have been warmed or toasted. The salad was mediocre at best. My husband's soup was not hot, only barely warm, but he did enjoy his sandwich. The soup tasted good, just not at the right temperature. Overall, it was decent but nothing special. They need to tighten up those small details to create a more enjoyable experience.

    Salmon Bowl
    Heather D.

    We came here for a late lunch, looking for something light. I tried the salmon bowl which I loved! The bowl came with a quinoa mix, sweet potato, and edamame. The salmon was also a generous portion. I added some siracha to give it some spice, but I loved this dish and would order again! The cookies are also always so fresh, so don't forget to get one! The workers at this location I thought were very friendly and personable which made for a great experience.

    The food is incredible, only place I can find healthy meals! Highly recommend this place at El Cajon. The staff is always very friendly.

    Antioxidant Salad w/ Steak, Santa Maria BBQ Chicken Salad, BBQ Tri Tip Steak Sandwich
    Samantha W.

    Service was excellent. Super friendly. We ordered the antioxidant salad w/ steak, bbq chicken sandwich and the tri tip sandwich. The antioxidant salad was good. Ingredients were fresh. I liked the fennel and apple in it. The dried blueberries were good too. I like that the dressing comes on the side so you're able to control how much you add. Out of the 2 sandwiches - the tri tip sandwich was much yummier than the bbq chicken sandwich. I also thought it was nice that they include the total calories for each item.

    Chimichurri Steak
    Bob W.

    My son wanted to eat at a place next to Urbane but I didn't want that so I stopped in for dinner. Decided on the Chimichurri Steak Sandi and It came with a mixed green salad with a balsamic dressing. Both the sandwich and salad were fresh and tasty. The beef was a bit bland though but nothing a little salt couldn't fix. They weren't busy but still took 15 minutes to get my order which is why it's four stars instead of five. Very limited seating but they have some tables outside.

    After a fun early evening hosted by the city of El Cajon Police at the parkway plaza I was hungry! All that dancing to an 80s cover band had me working up an appetite! Mozied on over to UrbanCafe. Surprisingly it was empty at 8pm on a Tuesday. Staff was very friendly! Wanting to be healthy I ordered an ahi tuna salad to go and had a bag of honey Dijon potato chips - yep- they got me with an impulse buy! The chips were yummy but I was Dissappointed to see how expensive the small bag was at $2.99! The salsa was the perfect size. Not too much, not too little. I was even pleasantly surprised at the amount of ahi included. (I was concerned it wouldn't be enough!) The salad included avacado and a weird amount of it on the side. In all, I enjoyed the salad. Had the dressing on the side which worked well as I could also dip the bread in it. While I do think $18 for a salad and chips (no drink) iis expensive, I did enjoy the meal..

    Glazed Salmon Bowl

    This was me and my man's first time here and it was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE ! We got recommendations from Colton nice kid very helpful and friendly this guy deserves a raise ! The ambiance was clean and a homey kind of feel. The food was AMAZING I can't get over how bomb the sandwich was and I'm so happy my man loved the salmon bowl he's allergic to dairy so this is the perfect place for us. I really appreciate you guys having so many GREAT DRINKS TO CHOOSE FROM. They got me and my man with the Shirley timple and the cucumber chili limonade OMG ! Fire!! I don't ever want to eat subway EVER AGAIN ! lol

    Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl
    Julissa E.

    This is my first time coming here and I know.. a little before they close :,) but despite that they all greeted me and made me feel welcomed. Colton is a very nice gentleman who was patient with me when I was deciding on what to get. He had a great attitude and an adorable smile! I got the Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl! So damn good! The perfect amount and flavor 9/10 :)

    Do you have delivery through grub hub or Uber eats? How much is delivery and what is the minimum?

    Hi Debi- We do use Grub Hub and Door Dash. The best way to find out that information is to log on to their app. It might differ depending on your location and how far the delivery is. Thank you!

    Do they have gluten free breads?

    Hi Sarah - Our bread is not gluten free but we can make our sandwiches gluten free by lettuce wrapping them. I have been on the Chef's case about a new recipe and I will remind him again. :)

I tried two different slices of pizza, and they were absolutely delicious and incredibly flavorful. Even the crust is so good!

I love the concept--pizza on one side, incredible sandwiches and gelato on the other, all connected to a fully stocked Italian market. It's the kind of place where you can grab lunch, dessert, and authentic Italian groceries all in one stop. The staff was welcoming and friendly from the moment we walked in, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The Meatball Sandwich is an absolute must-try packed with flavor and perfectly made. The Signature Sandwich was another standout because it's something different from your typical Italian sandwich. It had its own unique flavor that really sets it apart. I didn't get a chance to try the pizza this visit, but if the sandwiches are any indication, I already know I'll be back for it soon. The only small downside is that the parking lot is a little tight, especially during busy hours, but it's well worth the minor inconvenience. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. Great food, friendly service, fair prices, and a unique setup that makes you want to keep coming back. This has definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation. Highly recommend!

The customer service is always friendly, welcoming, and genuine -- the kind of neighborhood energy you just don't get everywhere anymore. It's not a huge space inside and the decor is a little outdated, but honestly that's part of the charm. This is a small business with a BIG impact, and the community clearly supports them because the food quality speaks for itself -- everything is fresh. My go-to order is the Big Chomp on a lettuce wrap when I'm trying to cut carbs but still want to be full. They split open a head of crisp iceberg lettuce and pack it with meats like turkey and beef, plus all the sandwich veggies -- onions, tomatoes, pickles -- and whatever condiments you want. It's crunchy, refreshing, and so satisfying that you honestly don't even miss the bread. Now when I'm extra hungry, their breads are fresh and the sandwiches are top-notch across the board. You really can't go wrong. Just a heads up -- they close at 3 PM daily, so if you're not there by then, you'll have to catch them another day. You can call ahead or stop in, but either way you won't be disappointed. PSA: Don't forget to grab a sandwich punch card. Rack up those punches and you'll earn a free sandwich. Thank me later

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea.

By the time i took my third bite, the temperature rose and was now well-done. It was also very chewy. It doesn't seem like the steak wasn't well-rested and/or overcooked. Also, there were huge pieces of stalk still attached to the sprouts. I'm all for fresh produce, but they should've been cleaned better. We're still deciding on whether to go back and have something we remember enjoying.
