    Hair in food
    Jillian T.

    Found a hair in my salad today. I had to stop eating it and throw the whole thing away, which was really disappointing because the food actually tasted good up until that point. I understand mistakes happen, but this is a basic food safety issue and shouldn't be overlooked. Hoping the team pays closer attention to hygiene moving forward. Update: The restaurant reached out and issued a full refund for my order. I appreciate them taking responsibility and resolving the issue quickly. While the experience was concerning, their customer service was responsive. +1 extra star

    As I've been trying to be healthier, my boyfriend gets dragged to eat bunny food with me. He found Urbane Café while we were running errands in West Cobina area to grab lunch. When we entered, there were 2 kiosks for customers to order from. After browsing their menu, my boyfriend decides on the Santa Maria BBQ Chicken ($12.95) with Chipotle Ranch dressing on the side, substituting the goat cheese for mozzarella cheese and I ordered The Café Salad ($12.75) with Balsamic dressing, substituting the goat cheese for mozzarella cheese, and no bread. Upon checking out with the kiosk, you enter one of the numbers for the orders by the kiosk, take the number with you and seat yourself at any table. A few of the tables were dirty, so we looked around until we found a clean one. The food was prepared in a decent amount of time. It tasted healthy. Nothing too exciting but it served its' purpose. At first they forgot the avocado from my salad and ended up bringing it on the side. Oh I'm also glad they put my dressing on the side even though I didn't ask for it to be because the container was too much dressing for the salad. Would consider coming back here for a healthy-ish meal. Not so much for enjoyment. The pricing is also reasonable for quality ingredients.

    Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl, Salmon Bowl
    Mikayla H.

    Easy ordering experience and yummy food! Came here on a weeknight and was craving fish, so we ordered the seared ahi tuna bowl and a salmon bowl to share. Both were well portioned and very flavorful! Each bowl was about $16 after tax, but for the amount of food it was pretty worth the price. I also loved the focaccia- fresh and fluffy! You order on a self-serve tablet in the front (there are two), grab a table number, and sit anywhere in the restaurant. There's ample seating and a fair amount of lot parking (they share parking with Gen BBQ and California Fish Grill) so the whole experience was fairly easy! Would come back!

    Salmon Bowl
    Angeli P.

    Everything was good and made to order. We got the salmon bowl with the aioli on the side and the other bowl is a protein bowl. Everything was cooked well, but my salmon was warm-room temp- wish it was hot. The salmon had a slide sweet and savory glaze The protein bowl was made very well and the plate was hot. We also got the kids pizza but my child did not like it as much, but he did enjoy the chicken from the protein bowl. The place is clean and the worker that took our order was very nice. All plates are a fair price and plates are a good size for one person.

    I've been here before, but I'm writing this review because I decided to give Urban Cafe another chance, and unfortunately it didn't change my mind. Overall, it's just nothing special. The food isn't bad by any means, but it's also not exciting or memorable, especially for the price. The portions are small for what you're paying, and that's really the biggest issue. Either the portion sizes need to increase or the prices need to come down, because right now it just doesn't feel worth it. This time I ordered the chimichurri steak and also tried the pastrami over the chimichurri steak. Both were fine, but nothing that made me want to come back or crave it again. The flavors didn't really pop, and nothing had that "wow" factor that makes you think about the meal later. The salad that comes with it was honestly a joke, especially considering the price point. I ordered through DoorDash because I didn't want to wait, and while the food arrived fine, it just reinforced that this place is more average than anything else. I will say the staff was very nice when I picked up my order, and it wasn't busy at the time, which I appreciated. Parking, however, was a bit frustrating. Even though it looks like there's front row parking in the photos, that was after I had already picked up my food and taken pictures. When I arrived, parking was a hassle and I had to park farther than expected just to grab my order. I really wish I could say this is a solid addition to West Covina, but I'd honestly rather drive a couple of minutes to Porto's and get an amazing sandwich that never fails and costs at least seven dollars less. Unfortunately, this just isn't a place I plan on coming back to. The ambient was good enough for people to dine in. There was a couple people I would say like four parties.

    Santa Maria BBQ Sandwich
    Yolanda Q.

    I ordered from here or eaten dine in a handful of times by now. My go to is the club or the bbq chicken sandwich. I really like the apple slaw on that one. The bread is always soft and fresh tasting, the ingredients in the sandwiches are well balanced, the side salad is a nice touch and a great addition to the meal. Service is always quick and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is kept clean, as well.

    Delicious food at fair prices! Love Urbane Cafe for its healthy options! This is my second time here, and this time I ordered the high protein bowl since I'm on a health and fitness kick! It's pretty delicious, and flavorful. What I like about this place is that it is spacious, and clean. The service here is friendly, and you can order in person, or via kiosk.

    Lunch visit. They have two tablet style kiosks to place your order, or you can still order in-person, which is my preference (I like speaking with someone). The staff was friendly, the dining area was clean, and there's plenty of indoor seating, as well as some outdoor seating. Parking is plentiful in the private lot. The menu isn't huge, but they have a good selection of sandwiches and salads, as well as a Tomato Bisque and a soup of the day. The focaccia bread is baked fresh, and all the ingredients on the sandwiches were of good quality. My wife and I tried the Chimichurri Steak sandwich ($13.55), which comes with a small side salad dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette and mandarin orange slice, however we opted to substitute for a cup of soup (+$4.35). She had a cup of the Tomato Bisque (served warm), and I had the Baja Enchilada Soup, which was served hot and tasted fantastic! Our order came out quickly and except for the Tomato Bisque being "just warm", everything was very good. They offer "Batch Craft Soda" products and Coke/Diet Coke from a dispenser, as well as Old Fashioned Lemonade and two types of Agua Frescas. Overall, the service was good, the food was flavorful, and it's only 5 minutes from home, so I'm sure we'll be stopping by again.

    Fire-Baked Focaccia Bread with Dipping Sauce

    Urbane cafe is sooooo good. I love everything about them. this is what panera is trying to be and they can't even come close. The salads are amazing and i recommend the cilantro chicken!! it also comes with a quarter slice of their focaccia, which is baked fresh everyday. I usually order an extra side of focaccia and their red pepper hummus to take home and have it as a snack the following day. Parking is shared , but there's plenty of it.

    Baja Bowl cleaned out!

    "My mom and I are regulars here, and the food and service are consistently amazing. Highly recommend this place!" The manager is always kind. We love the summer bestie bowls.

    Love this place! this is the second time we experience this restaurant and it doesn't disappoint. I ordered through yelp/group hub, ordering was so easy. My guy ordered a southwest sandwich and I ordered the BBQ Tri tip and it was amazing. Also ordered dessert, the double chocolate chip cookie. When picking up the order the staff were nice and welcoming, very good vibes there. The order on the app said 4:40-5pm but it usually is ready 10 min before so I called in and for sure it was ready. I would recommend it's like a healthier option but a delicious one. They have plenty of options including soups and drinks. If you haven't tried the blood Orange drink I recommend it.

    My wife and I stopped by Cafe Valer on a Sunday morning and were thoroughly impressed. The menu is…read moreextensive, the service is fast and friendly, and the entire space--inside and out--is spotless and well-kept. We grabbed a table on the patio under the umbrellas. Portions are generous and the food is outstanding. My wife ordered the Chipotle Breakfast Avocado Panini with a Raw Sugar Caramel Shaken Iced Oat Milk Latte, and I had the Steak & Egg Burrito with a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Everything was packed with flavor. We were too full to try dessert, but that just gives us an excuse to return :D This is easily my new go-to lunch spot whenever I'm in the West Covina area. Highly recommended, 5 stars!

    Severely overrated, omg. Wife and I came in for a sandwich…read moreand boy was this place underwhelming. First red flag we noticed is that they use Lavazza machines for their coffee drinks. Lavazza might as well be the sugary gimmicks Starbucks can pull off on their best days. You're paying for the name, not the quality of your drinks. Next red flag was the counters behind the 'baristas.' They were stocked with buckets of sugary ingredients like some store bought cookie butter stacked on top of some other store bought 'dubai' butter. That seemed a bit unsanitary and, frankly, kinda sloppy. Last red flag were the sad, sauce-soaked paninis we got. In fact, they were probably the worst paninis we've ever had. Our chicken chipotle avocado panini was drenched in what clearly tasted like store-bought chipotle sauce and the chicken just tasted like reheated chopped breasts (I mean I wouldn't blame them, they're a cafe, not a kitchen.) The mango habanero panini was even worse in that it was more drenched in what also tasted like store-bought habanero sauce, making the panini a dripping mess. But the choice of using what tasted like candied dried mango slices in the sandwich was awful. The flavors just did not marry and it's likely because this is what happens when you have a great idea, but use crap and cheap ingredients to craft something. Maybe they are better known for some other dishes, but the fact that they use store-bought sauces on their sandwiches is pretty tacky. Overall, this place is all hype and no heart. Just a steady flow of clout-chasing customers akin to those that frequent Starbucks as part of a lifestyle. Don't fall for the hype. It's okay to not like something that the masses do.
