Urbane Cafe — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

Came here with a party of three for lunch when we were in town. It was just over twenty dollars for two meals and a soup á la carte. Very affordable!

Pesto & Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Sandwich I had this and I loved it. It was filling, but not in the Monty Python/Mr. Creosote way. Served on house-made focaccia bread, which was very tender and toothsome. It gave the sandwich a great chew. The sun-dried tomatoes were mild, but they added tartness and tang to a sandwich which would otherwise be overwhelmed by the garlic and basil in the pesto. Plenty of chicken and cheese on the sandwich. It came with a house salad, dressed in oil and balsamic vinegar over fresh greens. It was an incredibly healthy meal, all things considered. I would usually reserve this level of enjoyment for things that are conspicuously dire for my constitution and waistline, like cinnamon rolls or ice cream sundaes.

Miso Salmon Salad This was everyone’s favorite. My wife described it as ‘bright,’ like a shining star or precocious child. I think she meant it was glorious and radiant, like an angel. The dressing was delicious, so good that after she had poured it in the salad, I used my sandwich to scoop the remnants out of the plastic cup it came in. My wife loved the bits of mango and the amount of salmon. She and her mom were huge fans of the edamame, though she preferred the Armenian cucumber for the crunch. Overall, an excellent summer salad.

Cafe Salad My mother-in-law has this, though she was hesitant about the goat cheese. We usually go in for Gorgonzola or another stinky cheese. Compared to these, the goat cheese was very mild. She picked out the pear, but I thought it was tolerably good with the balsamic vinaigrette. (I let nothing go to waste!) There were loads of pecans and slices of avocado. She did say that the dressing was very tangy, so she recommended starting with half dressing, as it could be off-puttingly pungent, especially if on a first date.

Sausage and Kale Soup I ordered a cup of soup because I was hungry and I tend to overdo it when in this state. I enjoyed the soup, which was savory with nice peppery bite. It was lovely with the bread and reminded me most of the zuppa tuscana soup at Olive Garden.

Overall, I lovely place for lunch and we definitely recommend the...

URBANE CAFE WAS DID NOT FAIL TO ENTERTAIN:). I loved the two bowls we got from Urbane Cafe. They were so fresh, tasty, and affordable! We started with the Baja Bowl which had a really good cilantro vinaigrette it was paired with. The chicken was incredibly tender and was cooked with no gamey taste which I liked! For both bowls the salad ingredients were extremely fresh, and complemented each dish perfectly. There was also complementary bread depending on your request which was also very fresh and seemed to be baked in house. The waiters were so kind and just had a great attitude about them which I enjoyed. The ambiance was nice with outdoor seating right in downtown SLO. The bowls were quite affordable with the total becoming $26 after tax for both bowls. OVERALL I would definitely recommend this place to others and would love...

We got the vietnamese chicken sandwich with pickled carrot, radish and the turkey on homemade pita type bread with cranberry chutney...so so scrumptious... and each had a big arugula, feta, baby tangerine salad with housemate vinegrette . . I can't say enough. We don't live near this shop but were traveling and wanted healthy food. The parking was clean and just outside, everyone wire masks in the employee areas and dining area. It had great ratings,and I can see why. we will make it a point to stop there anytime we're on the highway and recommend it to anyone who likes to have a healthy fresh delicious sandwich and salad. They also serve delicious looking bottle soft drinks and Jarisco, but as I said we were trying to be healthy. Thank you...
