Eww...
Valerie Y.

Oof. Salad was promising enough but the repeatedly dismissive manager left a really bad taste in my mouth. As a brand new client I was told that I needed to use the kiosk in the corner because they were "so busy," even though I had all sorts of questions as to how I could respect my dietary needs. During my visit, I tried two other times to get some more specific information, which was begrudgingly provided. Finally, when I pointed out that there was a rotten leaf in my salad, she just muttered "sorry about that" and didn't offer anything to help offset that negative experience. If I were specializing in fresh salads that I was serving to the public, I would be pretty rigorous about checking the leaves as they go into the bowl. Definitely a bummer meal. The young man working the floor was the only one who was helpful.

I ordered pick up but decided to dine in ! I got my fave the Cilantro Chicken Salad ! It is simply delicious and so fresh. Service is amazing. I was so surprised that Dahlia ( server) remembered me after meeting me a year ago! I was like what !? I haven't had that happen before. She came up to me and said, " Hi, it's been awhile but how are you?! Anything else you need? Everything ok?" Of course I remembered her too. She was so sweet when I first stopped by when this location had just opened. Props to her for being so friendly and welcoming! This location is close to the beach. Parking can be a bit hard as a small parking lot is there which is shared with other businesses. I love Urbane today and always! This is one of my go tos for a healthy lunch.

This is my go to place for a good meal. I love trying new items on their menu and this time I decided to try their cilantro chicken salad. It was very fresh and very tasty. I always order on the app and ask for the dressing on the side! They always have my order ready when I pick it up. Great service and friendly staff!

They left me on hold for 30 minutes...

Nobody was more excited than me when I saw we were getting and Urbane in our neighborhood. I had been going to the original location religiously since 2003. In the past i would eat there several times a week and recommend it constantly. Unfortunately this location is not on it the way the telephone one always is. The online app ordering is NEVER updated. Im a big fan of their soups and they seems to be permanently turned off on the app. I even called in the other night to ask if they were available and the person that picked up the phone left me on hold for over 30 minutes! I'm highly disappointed in this location. The staff seem unhappy to be there. They're constantly putting out sloppy food and getting my orders wrong. To me that screams a problem with management. Maybe they aren't treating their staff respectfully... I dont know. I will continue to drive to the telephone location when I am craving Urbane so i dont have to deal with the many downfalls of this location. Sadly, that seems like my only option.

I love Urban Cafe. It's a good cafe for eating and going. I have been to other locations, but this was my first time in Ventura. The cafe was clean, and the service was excellent. My favorite is an Antioxidant salad. I hope there are more drinks in the selection. There are tables inside and outside, but it would be best to have a table outside to see the ocean and feel the nice winds. There is a parking, but you can also park on the street.

I have only tried UC twice, but I will be returning many more times, the food I've tried is delicious. The staff is very friendly, they went out of their way to assist with everything I always have questions! The place inside has few tables, but there is an outside patio that great. Team member Crystal, made a few recommendation on what to try and they did not disappoint. Their sauces are delicious a must try. Will be returning soon to try more on the menu.

My favorite salad place! I really love their food! Anything and everything here is amazing! I tried their chimichurri steak sandwich and it was as amazing as their bowls and salads! I placed the order online and picked up in person. It was quick and easy. Great staff. Will definitely return here in the future

Veggie Bowl Just so tasty and this hummus is the best!
Ana F.

Wow, where do I even begin? Everyone that works here is so friendly and is always paying attention if there is someone waiting at the line to order. I did a mobile order today before heading to work and I forgot to order an extra peanut dressing for my salad and as I was waiting in line, the gentleman making the bread called someone to help me. A young girl approached and she was so friendly and helped me out. Just beyond excellent service!!! The food is just so delicious on another level. You taste the great quality and freshness In every bite. If you want amazing food, greeted by good working employees and be in such a good ambiance, then you gotta stop here. I give this place 100 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahi tuna salad and steak Cobb salad

Was extremely delighted with this ahi tuna salad! The orange Asian dressing was delish and I am picky. The staff is always so friendly & the food is ready quickly. Thanks you guys for being one of our Ventura county faves!!

My Yelp friend Erica shared a reel on Instagram, so I after watching that I wanted to come and check this new location out! After spending some time downtown it was time for lunch and my kids wanted pizza for lunch but I didn't want that, so it was the perfect time to try something out! First impression was good. I like the patio area with plenty of seething options. The inside look nice, bright and clean which I like. There's some tables inside, but it does seem that eating outside in the patio is the popular option as there were a lot of people outside. Service was good, but not super friendly. But the food it was prepared quickly which is good. I ordered my usual a Mediterranean Bowl with Ahi Tuna to go. The food is delicious.

SERVICE: I appreciated the cheese samples once seated…read more There's a deli in the back to buy blocks of cheese or spreads. Nextdoor also carries a lovely room of some great wines. The employees were kind, place was clean, there's in and outdoor seating, and parking is what you make of it as PP is located on a blocked off street where cars are not permitted. All to say, research where you wish to walk about, find a meter or free parking lot - enough around, and put on your good yet cute walking shoes because you'll enjoy strolling about after your meal here - or drink. FOOD: I sooo loved my grill cheese. Instead of mushrooms I swapped for spinach - you're welcome. AND THE PICKLE ON THE SIDE - delish! So why 4 and not 5? Because of my limited lifestyle I found the menu a bit limiting. However, I am not a HUGE cheese person and I don't drink. With that said, I feel anyone else who loves to indulge in that world should have a super great experience. Mine was still great. WELL: I actually enjoyed my time and shall return. My mother loves a good red wine so I'll bring her too.

The food was genuinely good, and that's what makes this experience difficult to rate. The dishes…read morewere well-prepared, flavorful, and arrived promptly. What left me uncomfortable was the service. Throughout the meal, I felt singled out and dismissed in ways that were hard to ignore. Staff were outwardly polite and seemed to be making an effort to be friendly, but the interactions often felt forced and noticeably different from the way other customers were being treated. Requests seemed to be met with impatience, and I repeatedly got the sense that I wasn't being welcomed in the same way as others around me. One example was when we asked if a finished plate could be removed to make room for new dishes that had just arrived. The request was met with hesitation, and it felt as though taking the plate was an inconvenience. Later, when I asked for to-go containers, the employee handing them to me appeared visibly strained to be courteous. It was one of several interactions that left me feeling like basic requests were being tolerated rather than accommodated. I can't speak to anyone's intentions, but the overall experience left me feeling unwelcome despite the surface-level friendliness. I came away wondering whether bias played a role in how I was treated. What stood out most was the contrast between how we were treated and how some others were treated. From where we were seated, I observed other customers receiving noticeably warmer service, including more smiles, friendlier conversation, and a more welcoming attitude. My party did not experience that same level of warmth. The food itself was very good, but the service experience would make me hesitate to return.

My favorite breakfast and lunch spot in Ventura!…read more At this point, I think I've tried everything on the menu! I've even gotten to the point of creating my own little custom breakfast by combining different side dishes! All the fruit is fresh, the salads and sandwiches are big enough to share, and the coffee is good enough to get one to go for an afternoon pick me up (they close at 2pm). I love the high quality ingredients they use, from the eggs to the produce, nothing is industriel or pre-made. There is a parking lot in back, but during the weekday it's easy to park on the street.

We were celebrating retiring teachers and staff! The service was fabulous! Shout out to Hannah! I am 96.4% sure that is her name. Smiling, always around to take orders, make suggestions, clear plates, etc. I thought she was terrific. The drinks were great. The table where I sat raved about them. The food was yummy. I loved the caesar salad and the onion rings. The tacos and chips were the bomb as well. The cookie with ice cream dessert was an incredible surprise. The menu description did not do it justice. It was a large chocolate chip cookie cooked in a small cast iron skillet with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. Scrumpdidlicious I can see Yard Bar & Grill as part of my new fun thrift store routine. Shop til I drop and then reward myself with a beverage and that fab cookie skillet ice cream thingy.

I've…read morebeen to this plaza many times I've been to all the stores next to it and used to come here when it used to to be another business. To be totally honest, I was a little bit intimidated by how the process works. But I assume caught on that. It was almost like a chipotle kind of style place. I decided to go with a bowl. I was able to choose between three types of different bases, and I went with the basmati rice and the couscous was able to choose a couple of salad options as well. Luckily, we were able to mix and match since I can never make a decision on getting All three types of greens that they have. Then moved over to the hummus section and I was able to get the three most popular hummus flavors, which I actually don't remember what I got. I know one of them was an olive flavored one and another one was a little more spicy. Then over to the protein side of things, you can mix up to two different choices, and some of the other options there is an upgrade fee. Then removed over to the toppings and these are all unlimited and so I was able to get feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, purple cabbage, everything was so endless and amazing At the very end, you're able to choose two different kind of sauces and at the very end, my bowl was actually pretty heavy in weight but most importantly it was very delicious Thank you to the team member here that was very helpful and walked me through the process. I think I might've been too overwhelmed. Otherwise I might've just opted for the burger which I may still have to try next time. The sweet potato fries also look very good and I will have to try those next time for sure. There's a ton of parking spots right outside. I can't get a little bit busy here so she'll be so many different food options but generally, I haven't really had an issue with finding a spot.
