Popped into this place for a quick bite while visiting Cal Poly SLO. All the different dishes we got -- uniformly fresh and delicious. Tried their sandwiches and bowls and really liked the balance of sauce/flavoring with letting the natural ingredients come through. Just prepared very well and even nice to look at. What impressed me even more though was the service. They were super busy while we were there and we admittedly mixed up the name of a dish. Twice. When the food came and we finally figured it out, they were incredible gracious and kindly fixed it all for us without even a hint of annoyance. All while serving the gazillion other folks without missing a beat. Just super competent manager and staff. Top class. read more

Food was good. Service was great. Thank you to Lucero for having the patience to wait for me to choose my order. If I ever find myself in SLO again, this would be first stop. read more

My first time checking out Urbane Cafe and I will admit that I have already recommended it to a few friends in the area. I loved that the menu wasn't overwhelming and that I was able to order two things I couldn't decide between and didn't break the bank. The Salmon bowl and the BBQ sandwich were top tier. I enjoyed every bite and still had some to take home. They also offer a variety of fresh fruit waters and natural sodas. The service was delightful and a very clean space to enjoy an impromptu lunch as I made my way through San Luis Obispo. read more

Got this for a meeting. They have a variety of items. The tri-tip sandwich was okay, but I like some of their other turkey and chicken sandwiches. The cookie is always a nice touch. read more

Urbane Cafe - Cilantro chicken salad - Sandwiches Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

My husband and I both had a salad. We went to the one in San Luis Obispo. The place was nothing to write home about, but the salads were delicious. Just what we were looking for. We are definitely going to try the one in Ventura next. If you're looking for something healthier, this would definitely fit the bill read more

This is kinda a fast food joint but with better quality food. I had a salad with chicken, pear, and avocado. My husband had a Mediterranean chicken bowl. The bread that came with the meal was very tasty. Service is just the person at the register and a runner, it was fine. They have indoor and outdoor tables. The only thing that was a bummer was that the restrooms are definitely a no go zone, very badly maintained. I would recommend not using them, and I don't say this lightly. read more

Amazing amazing amazing The bowls are our favorite so good and healthy also! Plus they make their bread in front of you, so good read more

We ordered take out and love all the healthy options. The restroom was clean. I will eat there again.

Saying that the food was 10/10 was an understatement. Urbane does well in blending healthy foods with tasty sauces and spices. You'll always leave here knowing that you got what's best for your body in terms of nutrients and vitamins. The staff is equally as great; all are very welcoming. I'd like to especially give kudos to Lucero, who welcomed me in and took my order in as quickly as possible in such a professional manner. She gave a great recommendation for the salmon bowl, though I had already heard it was good, which proves just how much the staff know their stuff. She even offered to clean up my area and take my dishes after I had finished. 10/10 service as well. Ambience was great too. I like the casual seats and booths that almost make me feel like I'm at the park, though the music is too "coworker-like" for me. I came in at a relatively busy time (most of the seats were taken up), but the food still came out quickly. Though I didn't sit outside, it seemed like a nice area to people watch/ talk with a group while you wait for the food. A little on the pricey side, mainly with the beverage and dessert added, but overall, not a bad place in the heart of downtown. Thank you to the staff for the amazing service, I would definitely come here again if Lucero was any example of how the rest of the team is. read more

The store always has such a clean environment. The prices of the food is so fair. I prefer the bowls over the sandwiches and it doesn't disappoint. The options are very health conscious, but the flavors are still all there. The workers are always so nice as well! ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Delicious fresh ingredients and lots to choose from. My whole family was very happy with their choice. Staff was friendly and talkative and efficient! Great spot in town read more

Urbane Cafe has cemented itself as one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in SLO. The sun dried tomato sandwich and salmon bowl are my personal favorites, and the side of focaccia is a nice touch. I also appreciate the friendly service and relatively affordable prices for a top tier health food! read more

A great experience. I ran across this place on my drive back from LA and decided to take a chance without any research. The sandwiches came in fresh soft pita like breads, ingredients meshed well and the salad extra fresh. read more

Ordered today online. Quick easy process, website easy to navigate for ordering pickup. Online order took less than 15 mins from order to pickup. I have never eaten at urbane cafe and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Baja bowel, all the ingredients were fresh, healthy and super filling. I will definitely be ordering again read more

Five stars for the presentation of the seared ahi bowl, the taste, and the reasonable prices. I love that they make their own focaccia bread and that it was included with my entree. This is a restaurant chain, although I have never heard of it before. They had clean bathrooms and didn't require me to buy anything to use them. Metered parking available all over the place so it shouldn't be a problem to find parking. The cashier was friendly and the food came in less than 5 minutes. read more

Terrible food. Small portions, no flavor, salad was ridiculous! Website worked ok on the 3rd try. Food was ready on time. What a mistake read more

Wow wow wow! A definite five star for Urbane Cafe. We just happened to stumble across this place as soon as we found a parking spot that happened to be right across the street. The name itself exudes freshness. And that's exactly what we got for our casual dinner fare. The menu boast a decent variety of cold and hot sandwiches as well as salads. It's not your standard deli, and instead there are many options to satisfy those who want something as basic as a grilled cheese to those who like a little bit of flair. This is a fast casual type of dining experience where you place your order at the counter, and they give you a number to identify your order and bring your order directly to you when it is ready. We ordered the Portobello mushroom sandwich that is served on focaccia type bread and it comes with a side garden salad. Also, we ordered the salmon salad which comes with a side of Chipotle creamy dressing and the same focaccia bread. Both were excellent! Portion sizes were significant and definitely were a great value. But even better than that were the flavors and freshness of the ingredients. They say that a good nutricious meal contains many different colors of foods and surely the pictures provided here are representative of the terrific presentation and taste! There is plenty of dining spaces inside and in the outdoor patio. On a cool but still warm evening we thoroughly enjoyed dining outdoors. If you're looking for casual fare, lunch or dinner, when in downtown SLO, this is a definite recommend. I can't wait to return again! read more

Urbane Cafe - Portobello Sandwich with included side salad. Delicious, and filled with plenty of fresh ingredients. - Sandwiches Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Urbane Cafe, with its smattering of students, and families glowing under great lighting, delights its customers with its warm and friendly service, reminiscent of frequenting a friend's urban home. The salads are faultlessly crisp and fresh, the greens crunching in your mouth, their vibrant flavors lifted by the appropriate smattering of dressings. For those in search of something a little heartier, the Bella Portobello Sandwich or the Cilantro Torta come highly recommended - characterized by filling ingredients richly flavored but skillfully balanced so as not to drown out the key player - their fresh bread! To note the prices are a tad on the higher side for the area, but their unique twists, like serving banh mi on focaccia bread, makes it worth that extra buck. Seafood fans won't want to overlook the ahi or salmon salad - both dishes presenting succulent, well-seasoned seafood that pairs beautifully with their chosen dressings and garnishes. For lighter fare, the chicken poblano pepper soup acts as a soothing culinary blessing, while the shrimp salad bowl promises a medley of crispness and umami. Urbane Cafe does a great job in making you feel welcome with its swift and efficient service and proves to be a breath of fresh air even amidst the hustle and bustle of a farmer's market Thursday evening or a busy downtown street. Don't get flummoxed if the seating indoors gets snapped up - they offer plenty of under-the-sky alternatives inside a cosy, covered area out front. Quick tip - ask for the WiFi password and enjoy some free internet along with your healthy, scrumptious meal. To wash down your meal, be sure to check out their range of awesome craft beverages. Definitely would suggest also exploring their variety of craft beers and sodas, the latter using cane sugar and mixing them up. read more

Ordered the Mediterranean bowl and added salmon. I recently moved to the area and had been missing Luna Grill for their quick but healthy options for takeout, but this is even better!

I LOVE Urbane! I could seriously eat the Cranberry and Brie sandwich everyday. It's like Thanksgiving year round. So delicious. And the side salad with it makes for a perfect compliment. I really like sitting outside at this location. It's in a great downtown part of SLO. There's not a parking lot right at this location but there is street parking or parking structures to utilize. My husband really likes their Santa Maria BBQ sandwich. Everything always tastes fresh and the staff are friendly! read more

Urbane Cafe - Cranberry and Brie Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This is a healthy casual food option. There were bowls and sandwiches and soups, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. With the oven making fresh focaccia up front, I ordered a sandwich. The banh mi was tasty and unusual with a focaccia bun. It was messy (needed two napkins and a fork), but I would order it again. The salad that accompanied it was so much better than the typical free side salad. It was dressed with a fresh herbal vinaigrette and not a single leaf was wilted or past its prime. There is indoor seating, which has that fast food vibe, and a covered outdoor area, where you are mostly protected from the occasional rain shower. read more

I really enjoyed my salad here last night (chicken with peanut dressing). It had all kinds of interesting elements and loads of flavor! The price was reasonable too. The focaccia was bland and meh, but they treat their veggies right. The craft sodas on tap looked really good too. read more

Literally come here everyday because the foods delish and everyone's so nice! Great vibes and shoutout izzy for always being welcoming!

This is an oasis of healthy food in a fast food, marketing-driven world. The ahi bowl was excellent with flavors and textures all working together. The salmon bowl was a hit as well. Thank you Urbane Cafe for supporting more local and healthier food options that drive your loyal fan base. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Urbane Cafe - Ahi Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Pros- The service was quick and friendly enough. The place is clean. The people at the next table seemed to be enjoying their salads. Cons - My daughter and I each ordered a bowl- Baja and Ahi.. They were just ok. The bread that was given on the side was very bad. The mixed whole grain rice that was in the bowls was dry and without flavor. Takeaway- It's possible that we chose the wrong dishes. Would I return? maybe. read more

Urbane never fails to impress me! I usually get their food caterer through work. Came in and got the seared ahi bowl. It was delicious

Great food and great customer service always! I really love their tofu banh mi and my partner got the seared ahi bowl!

This is a great place to stop for sandwiches, salads, and soups. You are given a number after ordering at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. Plenty of seating inside, and also covered outdoor seating outside the front doors. The Ahi Salad is a favorite of mine. I have ordered it a few times because it's so good. Husband chose the Salmon Salad, substituting Balsamic Vinaigrette in place of the Chipotle Ranch dressing. Soup & Salad combo. Kiddo chose the Tomato soup. She was very happy with the soup. And she loved the mandarins that came with the house side salad (even though she normally doesn't like anything orange/citrusy). There is free wifi at this location; ask them for the wifi password. There are also 2 restrooms at the back of the restaurant ... head toward the back and hang a right at the fire extinguisher on the wall. There is no obvious "restroom" sign visible indicating that bathrooms are available. There is no diaper changing area in the restroom.

I was in town helping my brother move and we decided to stop here for a quick bite for lunch. I have been here before as I went to college here in the past and my family loves this place. Food - We got the Bella Portobello Sandwich, chicken poblano pepper soup and shrimp salad bowl. All dishes tasted really good and nothing less than what we expected based on our past experience. As always, the key part of all these meals that drives us to come back here all the time is the fresh bread which tastes so good! Service - They were quick with their service. We got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Seating - plenty of seating inside and some outside seating under a covered area. Parking - as it is in the middle of downtown, you will need to do either street parking or garage parking. The first hour is free in the garage parking. Cleanliness - Very clean place overall. read more
