    Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl no rice (2.14.26 @ 2p - perfect bowls !)
    Faye L.

    Please give a raise to the crew who worked today (valentines 2026)!! We picked up our online order around 2p and it was just perfect . It's been a hit or miss with this location but today's four bowls were just awesome . My sister and I both used the BOGO valentines special deal and ordered same Ahi bowls (no rice or radishes ). The sub kale was great today as was the sushi sauce . Her tuna pieces were a bit more chunky and cut up but still tasted great. Plus she didn't mind as the extra kale made up for it. I think I'm up to 3500 reward points so that shows how embarrassingly often we eat at Urbane . Their app works pretty well but the customer service from their website still hasn't rectified a previous issue so oh well). And their chocolate chip cookies - no joke - are soooo good . They look boring and average but the chew of the cookie , with the abundant chocolate chips , legit makes it a dang good must purchase cookie . The 4-9p dinner specials are still a great deal . Kayla and Brian are the ones I remember being super kind and helpful (for evening pickups ). So thank you urbane cafe for the BOGO valentines deal ! We are having family potluck so not sure anything else can beat our ahi bowls .

    Aloha all! I discovered this restaurant while running some errands. I noticed a lot of customers sitting at the outdoor tables and having lunch so I decided to stop in and try it out. People from the nearby gym and businesses seem to frequent this spot for a bite to eat so that was a good sign. Urbane Cafe offers crafted sandwiches, soups and salads and more. Everything is made fresh including the focaccia bread they use for the sandwiches. Walking up to the counter I was immediately welcomed by a gentleman at the counter and was told to take my time looking over the menu and when I was ready, he would be happy to take my order. The indoor dining room was clean and had a very relaxed atmosphere. I decided to order a turkey sandwich with brie cheese and cranberry relish. It was a delicious combination of ingredients. Every bite was pleasing to the palate and the salad with light dressing incuded was a nice addition. When my order was ready, my food was brought to my table by the gentleman who originally took my order. I didn't get his name unfortunately, but this guy was working hard doing multiple tasks with a smile. He was providing outstanding customer service and I hope they somehow give him recognition for all that he does. It was the food and his service that earned them a five star rating. I will definitely be back to try more of the food options on the menu. This was one time I was glad to have taken the time to stop in and try a new restaurant. Keep up the good work Urbane Cafe!

    I come here quite often since it is right down the street from my school. The staff is super friendly; I have yet to have a negative encounter with anyone. They are always extremely friendly and check on me throughout my meal to make sure I don't need anything. The food is delicious and often will eat lunch in store and then get a to go order for my dinner. Thank you guys!

    It's a good place if you want something healthy and quick. I've came here twice so far and been getting their bowls (like Ahi Poke and Salmon) and they've all been pretty good and taste pretty healthy. I'd say the salmon was a bit on the sweet side for me but it still was pretty good. The inside is pretty spacious and it's never crowded when I visited. I came here on a weekend afternoon and a weekday evening and definitely pretty empty. At least that means the food comes out quick and fresh. If you want something healthy and want to try different selections like sandwiches or bowls, definitely give this place a try!

    Katherine C.

    Fast, healthy, inexpensive, and great dinner options. The food was brought quickly, and the place is a simple bowl, salad, and fresh sandwiches restaurant. It's nothing fancy, but it's a good lunch option. Can't complain!

    My sand which and salad were delicious. Service was very quick and the best thing I was served w a smile! After being at work, this meant a lot. I sat outside, it's right on MM Blvd but there are pretty flowers and shade

    Urbane cafe is always my go too for lunch. I come to Urbane Cafe pretty regularly and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and the portions are generous. Love the vibe and the energy from the staff.

    Are there gluten free options - i.e. gluten free bread?

So you can't modify anything using the kiosk, so I after I placed the order I asked if I can have the hummus on the side she said no problem. I get home and guess what, there's no hummus period. They even wrote on the receipt hummus on the side. Aside from this mishap, both sandwich were delicious. Good amount of meat and the veggies were crisp and fresh. I think next time(yes I will try them again) I will get my bread light toasted. Prices are decent.. way better than Subway and Jersey Mikes. Oh and I also got a Strawberry Matcha which was very good.
