    The Cafe salad
    Christy S.

    This was a quick and easy place for lunch. When I arrived on a Tuesday at 1pm, there was no wait and plenty of tables. Service was friendly. There's 90 minutes free parking behind the restaurant in the large lot that's shared with other businesses. I got "The Cafe" salad with chicken, avocado, goat cheese, pears, pecans, balsamic vinaigrette on the side and a piece of focaccia bread. It was a large salad and they did not skimp on the ingredients. Everything including the bread was good and fresh.

    The food always tastes so fresh and healthy. A bit pricey, but once in a while is ok for this. Lots of tables and seating both inside and outside. You order at the kiosk and grab a table number. The server brings your food, and once you're done, clean up after yourself! Parking is a big lot behind shared with several businesses.

    Pastrami Tri Tip
    Kaylee C.

    Good service, quality great! Food was good but there's a lot of cheese if you don't like cheese this is not the place for you. Inside was nice but they have a big section where they're just packing to go orders which is kind of off putting because you have to walk past that to get to the fountain drinks. Overall would come again!

    Antioxidant Salad
    Stephanie S.

    Wow food is so delicious! We tried the crunchy peanut salad and the antioxidant salad. Both are very tasty and full of flavors and textures. Best salads. The focaccia bread on the side is also very good. Place is clean and great customer service. Lots of parking in the back!

    Urbane Cafe is still one of my favorite spots for a healthy and tasty meal. Lately I've been ordering the Crunchy Peanut Salad. It comes with marinated cilantro chicken, mixed greens, coleslaw mix, cucumbers, pickled carrots, edamame, mandarin oranges, crispy onions, and honey roasted peanuts (the best part lol). The peanut dressing is really good too. The salad portions are pretty large. The customer service is always great. They recently added 2 kiosks to order from. The restaurant is clean and well kept.

    Ordered doordash and my order came pretty fast in less than an hour! Pricing was reasonable and most items were $15+. There was a good variety of sandwiches, bowls, salads, and soups The Chimichurri Steak Sandwich ($16.85) was ok. The steak didn't taste like steak and just seemed like roast beef. I was expecting the quality of the steak and the portion of the sandwich to be bigger since it was quite pricey. The Chimichurri was ok and a little bland. The bread tasted pretty fresh and soft so that was pretty good! Overall, the sandwich was not too impressive so it was 6/10 The sandwich comes with a side of salad but I paid extra $5.40 for a side of tomato bisque soup instead. The soup was very creamy and delicious! It tasted very fresh and flavorful without being too salty. This was 8/10 The Dragonfruit Agua Fresca ($3.95) was ok and not too sweet. It was refreshing but it tasted artificial and wasn't made with real dragonfruit so this was 6/10 The chocolate chip cookie ($3.75) was amazing! It was so soft and fresh! Definitely my favorite item in the meal! Definitely recommend and would get again! This was 10/10 Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the sandwich so I most likely won't recommend or return unless I'm craving their cookies! Those are definitely a must get!

    Sundried tomato sandwich- my favorite

    If you guys are in bed off a quick but delicious bite- this is your spot. Service was quick and friendly. Brought our food out in 10 minutes. Ambiance: quiet and peaceful. I'll be stopping by here if I am ever stunning by!

    Salmon Salad
    Nicole L.

    Tried out Urbane Cafe for lunch since I wanted something healthy. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad and my boss ordered the salmon salad. Urbane Cafe was SUPER generous with the ahi tuna slices in my salad. This is a new spot for me to go to since everything is so healthy + fresh here. The portions sizes LOOK small but actually fill you up quickly. I'll be back soon :-)

    Pastrami Tri Tip
    Jinyoung J.

    I ordered the pastrami tri-tip, and it was really fancy overall. It came with a salad and sauce that I enjoyed. The sandwich itself was pretty tasty, and I was full by the end. There was a little bit I was saving, but an employee took it away...it was an awkward experience. It reminded of a time when Chick-fil-A was closing, and an employee took away a box that still had food in it. Anyway, the interior is pretty, and the layout and parking is decent. The food itself is a little hefty, but it offers a healthy balance of greens. I'm glad I gave it a chance over Chipotle or Panda Express!

    Grilled grass fed steak plate and turkey avocado sandwich
    Maribel M.

    Greeted right as we walked in . Daniel at the front was super kind and patient because I wasn't sure what I was getting... the ambiance is nice and natural! Calm soothing. Clean. The food was good. I had a grilled grass fed steak plate. Steak was on the dry side even though we ordered medium.. bread with stead was delish! It had a smoke taste to it. The mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were absolutely amazing. It tasted really really good and clean. We also had a turkey avocado sandwich , which was really really good. Bread was soft and very flavorful. We got a cookie- it's huge!!! And soft and yummy We had some iced tea to go with it and it was great.. overall good experience good food... with the exception of the steak.

Good: - Healthy California cuisine (lots of fresh produce-centric dishes) - Prices are typical for Old Pasadena and a good value for the portions - LOVE the Spanish latte. Still our favorite, anywhere. (Best: small, strong, and in a ceramic mug, not in a to-go cup). - Chocolate hazelnut cake is still heavenly - Lots of outdoor seating on multiple dog-friendly patios - Gorgeous architecture featuring tiles and a small fountain - Consistently see the same staff (a sign of a stable business) - Great for people watching. The diverse mix of locals and tourists gives the place a cosmopolitan, global feel. - They don't make you feel like you need to order more food. If all you want is a pastry or tea, that's fine. - You can actually linger and enjoy yourself, your book, or your conversation as long as you want, without constant interruptions from waiters trying to turn the table. Bad: - The espresso bar can be incredibly slow (like, we've been sitting at our table for a half hour and already finished our breakfast, but our drinks still haven't arrived kind of slow). - It is difficult to follow up with staff if your item never arrives at your table. You don't want to cut in line, but it seems a bit much to get back in a twenty minute line for the register, just to find out where your food is. Fortunately, this has only happened a few times, but when it does, it feels like a scavenger hunt to find someone to help you. - Bussing is slow, and so we frequently see an entire patio section that is covered in dirty dishes. It seems like they like to wait until they can do it all at once, but this means a) fewer tables for new customers, and b) dining surrounded by other people's trash. - Even when we arrive first thing in the morning, it seems like they aren't quite tidied up. There is always still a stray napkin, a straw, bits of food, or something else laying on the tables or ground. A bit more attention to this would elevate the experience and make it feel more upscale instead of fast-casual. Neither good nor bad: - The food is straightforward and well-made with very little seasoning. - It is contemporary, but not super trendy. - Everything is made well, but few dishes are "the best" version that you'll find anywhere Whether you are a longtime local or a first time visitor, I recommend stopping by the Pasadena location for this California chain.

    This place is pretty great. We've been meaning to try this for a while, and finally, during our…read morespring break staycation, we managed to make our way over. We got a turkey sandwich, their mushroom soup, a quiche, and an eclair (of course - pistachio), and a pot of tea (blue montagne - a black tea with some berry flavors). Everything was really delicious, and it makes me think about how far vegan cuisine has come in the last, even 10 years. Many of their stuff is gluten-free as well. The only thing that I'll say was kind of sad - we got a loaf of beet bread to go, put it in the fridge as soon as we got home, and the next day, it got moldy. I brought it back and exchanged it for one of their charcoal loaves. I think they are under the same ownership or something as the wine bar next door, since they share a space. The space out front is pretty spacious, but there are only 3 tables, so maybe there is another room when it gets crowded? I didn't really explore the space this time.

I knew they had opened a brick and mortar in Pasadena a while ago and it just took me until recently to finally make it there. Don't judge me I was trying to spare my wallet and waistline! Anyways none are being spared from the pure delectable excellence at this point! Before I go on I get to acknowledge that yeast breads and sugar can mess me up, sick, bloat, etc. TMI? I dgaf! Because I don't have the extreme reactions here that I usually get elsewhere. Actually a majority of the sweets from the eclairs to the cinnamon twists are reasonably sweetened! There's no compensating sugar for bad ingredients. Every flavor stands out and participates together like the instruments of a symphony. Delightful! The only one I cannot handle so far are the French macaroons which according to my kid are exactly to their liking. So far I've had the cinnamon twist, blueberry bar, chef special cream filled cherry cruffin, and the chef's special quiche which looked so legit I had to ask if it's really vegan!!! What magic is this!?! Because for the price it's insane! Other places would charge double to offer this and I would pay it! Now the drinks...on the pricier side? Yes. Is it worth it HECK YES because I did my drink order again! Dirty Matcha with almond milk (match latte with shot of espresso)' Don't judge me I need the caffeine ride without the crash. Normally this drink tastes like mud everywhere else but here it's a smooth caffeinated perfection. I don't need to bust out the stevia, it's perfect as is!!! This is the first and only time the pairing is balanced and smooth. Needless to say this is my top pick for vegan bakeries and coffee/tea places! I can wait to fully enjoy the ambiance with a decadent crystalline flare of luxury in a quant cafe Bonus: they have pastry classes, afternoon tea, it's a wine bar by night, and there's so much more to know about the artistry and offerings it's well worth the visit!

    Perfect family dim sum experience for us…read more We took out my parents and in-laws for dim sum: my parents' very first time ever. We did wait about an hour, but honestly I didn't mind at all because it gave us a chance to relax, talk, and catch up as a family. Once we were seated, my parents were immediately impressed with the decor: elegant and cultural without feeling overly modern or cold. And can we talk about the tea kettles? They looked like literal pieces of art being poured at the table. Ordering was super easy with the QR code system, so my husband handled the whole spread: shumai dumplings, chicken feet, sesame balls, and more. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The ENTIRE table agreed on one thing: the chili oil condiment deserves to be sold in bottles to take home. It was that good. Smoky, just the right amount of spicy, and addictive. Now for the real test: my in-laws. They've been to *many* dim sum places and are not easily impressed. They declared this place to have the best chicken feet that they've ever had: meat easily sucked off the bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and perfectly seasoned. High praise coming from dim sum veterans. Most importantly, my parents' first dim sum experience couldn't have been better. They loved everything from the ambiance to the food to the overall experience. My husband and I want to come back to explore more of the menu because there's clearly so much more to try

This location is pretty spacious and even has a second floor for dining. Though we were seated inside, a lot of people were coming in and out for take out. They have a QR code to scan the menu and send your order to the kitchen. Unfortunately, they forgot our order of shumai. We had already finished eating before it even came. The waitress was kind but apparently had to bring the receipt back because the staff was claiming we already received it.

The beef rolls had a nice light flavor to it & wasn't dry at all. The garlic string beans were PACKED with garlic, which was delicious. The chicken wings were a bit dry but nonetheless still pretty good. My friends really liked their scallion pancakes & devoured them all. Overall, I would definitely come back if I was ever in the area again. It definitely satisfied my cravings for Chinese food.
