    It's A Really Good Fish Sandwich
    Jeff L.

    You Guys....This place is sooooooo good. It was a Friday during lent and I was looking around for a place that had a good fish dish. So I waved my phone with a big Swish Swish. Then Urbane Cafe appeared with Fish Dish that I swished and wished. I got the bowl and sandwich. This fish was cooked so well and the ingredients of the bowl worked together perfectly. There was rice, greens, and a few extras. My fish was topped off with tartar sauce and I could have inhaled the whole thing. The sandwich was similar except it was on Ciabatta bread, or similar. My daughter ate all of that and she is as picky as they come. It was her birthday and the cashier was so sweet to her. The customer service was so good that we are already planning our return visit.

    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 .

    Urbane Cafe Dining room

    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!

    Salmon bowl
    Jessica P.

    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!

    Brie Turkey sandwich
    Carol F.

    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

    Christina H.

    This place is amazing, I have never gotten anything bad off this menu and the bread is the absolute best. The bread is made fresh through out the day and is so soft and aromatic. It is my favorite part of every meal here. There are many good sandwich and salad options. My goal in life is to try every single thing off this menu at least once. But also everything is so good it is hard to not eat the same option three times in a row before deciding to change my order. They have great vegetarian and vegan options. You can also substitute tofu in for any of the meat sandwiches. I tried the cranberry brie sandwich with tofu and it was different but a surprisingly good different! I recommend trying it. This location is very clean and organized. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. It is usually a quiet place because there wasn't music but it gets very busy during lunch time. The only downside is when it's busy I feel like the quality of the food goes down a bit, so definitely go during off hours if you can.

We were in the La Jolla area and were trying to figure out someplace to grab a bite to eat and I remembered there was another location near by. So glad we stopped by. Our lunch was just as tasty as we remembered from their other location. The salads were fresh and loaded with toppings (and they have one of the best ranch dressings). My daughters sandwich was packed with goodness and perfectly grilled as well. Of course one cannot eat at Croutons without grabbing a few of their tasty cookies/brownie bites too. Just good wholesome food. Our order was out quickly and the staff was so nice. They closed at 3 and we were there around 2:15 and were going to get our food to go so we didn't hold them up from closing but they insisted we had plenty of time (and we did). The inside is simple yet clean and nice and there is plenty of seating. They are open Monday-Friday so if you work or are just in the area make sure you stop by. You will be glad you did!

    After my appointment at the Veteran Affairs we passed by here at Mendocino Farm La Jolla…read more Our first time here so we just picked which one looks good and sounds good on the menu board. We picked PERUVIAN STEAK SANDWICH, a seared steak tossed in Spicy aji amarillo sauce, then their CHIMICHURRI STEAK BACON; it's a seared steak and applewood-smoked bacon, and also got their SMOKEY BBQ BRIOCHE SANDWICH , this one is a smoke Pork burnt ends with BBQ sauce. Every sandwich we had tasted good, but i like the most the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon, it's more to my palate, not too sweet or not too spicy. Service was quick our sandwiches were done quickly, plenty of staff go around checking the tables and greeting the customers. Parking is easy, with lots of spaces.

    I like the Mendocino Farms concept and we had a good experience at the first one we visited (it was…read morenot this one) so I was disappointed with our long wait for three to-go sandwiches and a cup of soup. I think I was sitting in the store for at least 30 minutes while a family member waited in our car and watched several people park, get their orders and leave. Two people who ordered after us received their food before we did. I finally stood up and only then did an associate crabbily pack up our order and give it to us. When we first arrived, no one even showed up at the counter for at least five minutes. There was another customer waiting behind us as well. My sandwich (Happy Hippie) was not very good...insubstantial and put together in a blah manner. A family member who had the "not so fried chicken sandwich" said it was too salty. I paid $62 for this order (with a tip, which I had added before the long wait...) It obviously wasn't a good value, This is a beautiful and clean store but a general lack of enthusiasm from the associates, inconsistent customer service, high prices, and mediocre quality food will dissuade me from making any future visits to this location.

It was pretty impressive. I ordered the chicken salad, baba ghanouj, and my wife got the chicken shawarma plate. The baba ghanouj was pretty good. It had a nice smokiness to it. My only complaint is it came with one tiny pita for a full bowl of baba ghanouj. The pita was very lackluster and had no flavor at all. I'm not sure if it was store bought or made in house, but it was super dry and lacked any flavor at all. The chicken salad was delicious. The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly. The dressing was bright and acidic with a wonderful flavor. I added feta to the salad which seems a bit pricey (1.99) but it was needed in my opinion and belongs on a med salad like that. It should be included if you ask me. My wife's chicken shawarma plate was delicious looking as well. She opted not to share with me so I cannot say how it tasted, but she enjoyed it she said. It came with a garlic yogurt sauce that was flavor and very garlicky. Overall the food was great. The prices were on the high side for what it is. It was $50 for food the two of us after tip and no drinks. There really isn't an atmosphere it's a no frills place with tables and chairs and no AC on the inside so it was hot. Luckily the evening was cool, so we sat outside. I don't know if I would go back, but I enjoyed the food.
