Today, Urbane Cafe gets a five star because of the incredible hostess Kaylin. She was so fun, so right on it and so effective. I think the team today was being taught by the Manager, so the food came out a little slow, but if you're teaching people to be the new Kaylin..... then you're doing it right. I always love the Bahn Mi sandwich and today was no exception and the side salad is healthy and just perfect. A really good lunch spot for salads, sandwiches, and a great vibe. read more

Places are big and chill. I gave 3 stars because my soup is luke warm or not even. Is like 3/10 for the temperature likewise. I like my soup to be hot at least warm. Not like boiling hot but it just "cold" for me and is on a cup for $8? I try the NEW salmon bowl. Supposedly come with the sauce which I don't know but they gave it to me once I finish my bowl and I don't really needed I guess. I can understand the customer service likewise but again it just the food itself and not that fresh, rice was cold as well and took longer to made. There is only 1 person working at that time I don't for the wait time it just the food taste for me. For one time try is ok I might give it a try again in the future. The thing I love for first time try here is the bread only. Is savory. They need to clean all the table and sanitize as well each time customer leave. I Will try again in the future. read more

Urbane Cafe - NEW MENU "A Really Good Fish Bowl" - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

It's a very attractive restaurant but we ordered our food to go. It was ready on time and we received exactly what we ordered. The Santa Maria BBQ sandwich has good BBQ flavor, although it won't be winning any awards in any BBQ contests. It comes with bacon, cheese, slaw, and dressing. It's a solid choice. The Club sandwich is also very good. It comes turkey, bacon, avocado, cheese, and some various veggies. Both sandwiches came with a very nice and fresh side salad. The bread here is obviously made fresh. If you order on the app, first time users get a freshly-baked cookie. And that cookie is very good. Solid choice for very fresh sandwiches and an excellent cookie. read more

Urbane Café - Great Post-Workout Lunch Spot! I stopped by Urban Café after a workout and ordered the pastrami tip sandwich with a side salad -- and it was absolutely delicious. The sandwich came with a honey mustard sauce that really brought everything together, and the bread was soft and fresh. For about $13.55, it was a solid deal. The place is clean and has a friendly vibe. You order at the counter, take a number card to your table, and they bring the food out to you. I also used the restroom to wash up before eating and it was clean and presentable. I definitely plan to come back and try another sandwich. For a quick, tasty lunch in a casual setting, this spot hits the mark. read more

Oh my gosh--the food here is so good! I had the chimichurri steak sandwich, and my husband had the pastrami. Both came with a small side salad, which was a nice touch. Even the cashier was super friendly and helpful. Easy 5 out of 5! read more

This is a go to spot after I get my braces adjusted. I get the Ben with either the chips or the salad. Or you can have fruit. I tend to opt out from the fruit so I couldn't speak on what that's like. It's right off the Kids Menu. I get it because it's kind of an upscale grilled cheese and it has bbq sauce and chicken....And because it's one of the softer option...Hence it's ideal for just after the Ortho adjustments :-) I love the focaccia bread. The staffers are friendly enough, the place kept well managed, & has a nice open floor plan if you like to dine in. It has bench wall seats and high top style tables. The only thing today was the soap was out in the unisex bathroom that I went into (I let the young lady know & she received the information kindly) My chicken had some cold spots so as I'm sure the tender chicken "cold cut" pieces just needed some extra time on the heat. I didn't mention that to the staff. I'm pretty sure the chicken was just cool and not a raw type situation. So it wasn't that big of a deal. A little bit warmer and it would've been perfect. What I found adorable was some kids thought the bread was pizza. What a novice idea! I bet the bread would make a lovely individual mini pizza for the kiddos. The kid at heart in me would probably order that if something like that ever became a thing here. Chill dinning experience and this time I gobbled it all up. Sometimes I get a side soup too. Also, I mentioned to the Hubs that if it wasn't for an official Yelp event here (years ago) I wouldn't have even known about this exact place. We've been to the O'side one as well. That's a newer location. Lots of pick up/take out orders here. Check them out! read more

Great little spot in Encinitas. You walk up to order and they deliver the food to your table. I had a salad with salmon, and it came quickly. Great place for a speedy healthy lunch! read more

Seriously- the perfect lunch place. First time ever here. Didn't realize it was a chain, because it didn't feel like one. Went with the Chicken Bahn Mi and side salad. Everything was super fresh and delicious, and the price was reasonable. The little red peppers in the sando have a kick! The side salad with the mandarins and feta was simple and perfect. A welcome break from fries. Super stoked to know there's a closer one in Mira Mesa. read more

We were in the area and about to go to Cava since that is our favorite spot but decided to see what this place was about. So glad we do! Customer service was good and the food was delicious as well. I was fulfilled with my salmon bowl. I also had a bite of the tri tip pastrami sandwich, pretty good. The food did not disappoint read more

After a long days work of watching friends and spouse at tennis camp, what better way to refuel than healthy salad and a filling sando? The restaurant has a pleasant sit down style layout with more cushy seats on the far wall, but we weren't just looking for a place for its looks. Our cashier took our orders with lightning speed and we got our food in less than 10 minutes with 5 ppl ordering. Service to get seated was *chef's kiss*. Wife ordered the steak chimichurri sando and I got the keto salad with extra meat. HIT THE SPOT. After nearing food coma, we brought our plates back to its storage home for clean up near the exit, and went back home on our merry way. Would I come back here? You darn right I will. Let's go!! read more

First Visit - Definitely Not the Last! Tried Urbane Cafe in Encinitas for the first time and was seriously impressed! I ordered the Chimichurri steak sandwich--so delicious! Also indulged in their chocolate chip cookies -- totally worth it for the quality and flavor. The place has a nice vibe and excellent service - thank you Melinda you are the best. My friend mentioned they also have locations all over California. So glad I finally got to try it! read more

For some reason, whenever I'd come here, I always got a sandwich with their delicious side salad. I never realized they had bowls and I'm always a sucker for a yummy bowl. I went for the salmon bowl that came with wild rice, sweet potatoes, edamame, kale, and a tasty sauce. I added avocado to it as well. I'm obsessed with this bowl! The staff is always friendly and the space is comfortable. One of my favorite easy, grab and go lunch spots! read more

Can be hit or miss. Sometimes there is a long wait just to be greeted and have your order taken. Not even a "we'll be with you soon." Sometimes there is a long wait while your food just sits on the counter before being handed to you. Sometimes it is a pleasant experience. I'm a big fan of the new Sweet Chili Tofu sandwich. The wife prefers the Californian sandwich. The food (when you eventually receive it) is fresh and just the right amount. read more

Decent salad. Ordered the cilantro chicken salad, minus the bean salsa. The cilantro vinaigrette is a more oily and sweet than I'd prefer, but pairs well with the salad. I also opened for the super greens to enhance the nutritional value since the other ingredients are fairly minimal. Just cheese, avocado, green mix and chicken. Perfect for a cleansing salad that's easy on the stomach. They accommodated my swaps, it was quickly prepared and packaged securely, service wise. read more

Urbane Cafe - Cilantro chicken salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

We just got my daughter a kids turkey sandwich with fruit. She ate one half and said it tasted funny.. then gross.. then she got nauseous and felt like vomiting. We were worried about listeria so we were searching cvs for ipecac .. we couldn't find any and it had been 20 min already so digested by now.. We are watching her the rest of the day for any vomiting if some will taste to er. I tried calling the store but no answer and no option to speak to anyone. I will try to contact the owner. The bread was stale, the cheese and meat were "tangy" in a bad way, everything was wilted and gross. The fruit cup was 1/4 full of gross fruit and no grapes like usual. The shelves inside were empty where they are usually filled with chip options.. they were out of chocolate chip cookies, only showing old stale cranberry and brownie cookies. the chip were empty except for 1 bag of bbq, which my daughter hated. read more

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch here with my wife. We split the new Moroccan Chicken salad with Tahini dressing and the Harissa Chicken sandwich. These dishes complement each other perfectly. Loved the Tahini dressing! Service (Melinda) was great! We will definitely come back. read more

Great food, nice environment! Healthy options & tasty. Love the salads and soups. Helpful staff.

I love this place! We had the best service, our servers name was Melinda! We'll l never forget her! Going back next weekend!

I'm not really a sandwich person because I'm vegetarian and just don't like many vege sandwich options BUT, I tried their sandwich. It had pesto, tomatoes, cheddar, mozzarella, and lettuce and I was blown away how good it was. The bread and their pesto sauce, which I'm not usually a fan of most pesto, was delicious. Try it out! read more

Great food and good service. The tri tip sandwich is my favorite. Extra helpful that they have a non-udis gluten free bread!

Humberto is an excellent manager His customer service is great and the food is reasonable and delicious. My father in law loves their pesto chicken sandwich. Next time, just give me a chocolate chip cookie We will be back soon read more

Amazing customer service start to finish! Marisa is incredible!!! 5 star. We will be back for more.

great place for a quick bite! love love the bread. Southwestern Chix sangwich very tasty. comes with a small salad. I'm not a big fast food lover but I would come here again. too bad not in RI...only west coast! read more

Coming back for this second review. My husband and I had a previous poor experience with UC with a take out order that left a lot to be desired. The manager was very responsive and personally reached out and offered two on-the-house coupons to try them again. We did yesterday with a take out dinner order, and what a difference! Got the peanut and super veg salads and they were absolutely delicious! Redeemed urbane! We will be back read more

Best customer service ever! Had to try the cookies got me a So Cal sandwich looks very delicious.

Love the Miramar area spot. Glad to see UC is consistent as the food here was equally bomb. Service was very friendly, fast I'd say faster than the Miramar location. The bread is super affordable on its own but the sandwich is killer. Chimichurri. All you need. Dont be afraid of the small portion. Its a mouthful of flavor!! read more

Kelsey was nice and cool. Work a little harder and you'll definitely make it to the top some day.

Finally today first time I stopped by , for a late for me lunch. Ordering So Cal sandwich with roasted chicken, avocado, pepper jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, tomatilo salsa and chipotle aioli (just curious, which one salsa or aioli were giving this spicy feeling?). Pretty tasty sandwich - side salad - mainly fancy greens and 2 small slices of oranges from the can in balsamic (could be a few slices of tomatoes added to?). It's funny, on Yelp App all the menus are old - So Cal is going for $8.95, today it's $11.95. Drinks are available from the fountain machine (same as just water). Food is brought to your table at promised time. I can see , that at this time all customers mainly were senior citizens and the place was doing takeout orders at a much bigger pace. Seating is inside or outside, more than enough parking. read more

Decided to bring home some sandwiches for my kiddos who had been swimming all day. The portion was hearty and came with a side salad. I learned that they bake the bread there every day. They had a variety of healthy options and staff was very friendly. Our cashier told us about the baked bread and provided us with some details about the restaurant. I love to see staff loving there jobs because it means the owners must treat their employees right. I only wished that I would of gotten a cookie, when I went back to the hotel and started to read the reviews, I saw that the cookies are the best. read more

Absolutely a surprise and a new favorite! I found this place while looking for a lunch spot in Encinitas that wouldn't break the bank. Reasonable prices and high-quality food! We loved the salmon salad and ahi salad, and don't get my kid started on the yummy bread...LOL Also, I loved the soda options. I normally don't get a drink, because I don't finish it, but the options here were super delicious! Add a decadent cookie and you have healthy option lunch spot good anytime! read more
