Urbane Cafe - El Cajon

Damn covid: I would rather have done the traditional dining at a table, but instead, I did the take-out in a bag and brought it to my hotel room (Hampton Inn across the parking lot) complementing it with an Escondido beer I already bought at 7-Eleven. The posted menu and easy communication with the properly-masked cashier was effective. The cashier talked in the tone as if he was excited to show off the food. Truly outstanding, the properly-masked door-runner Sofia (I guess formerly waitress) had a lot of fun handing out the bags to customers obligatorily waiting outside, including me. Basically, the staff I encountered proved an idea that a restaurant can still deliver dinnertime fun, even though I, like others, miss the relaxed sit-down dining. Thanks to the staff, this take-out experience was a real blast! By the way, the Californian Veggie sandwich was delightfully delicious!???? ...as I look back at this experience months later, this unique fun experience has never been duplicated anywhere else, which I wish it was.

This has quickly become a go to place for me. There are plenty of options and all of them are good. Their trademark is the freshly made ciabatta that all of the sandwiches are made with. They also usually have two or three fresh drink options as well as a craft soda fountain. Each sandwich also comes with a nice house salad with a tangerine slice.

Pleasant staff and tasty food at slightly higher-than-expected prices. The shared parking area is a nightmare at dinner time.

Really amazing meals prepared fresh. Courteous outgoing employees obviously love it here. Very clean estsblishmeny

Really great. Very nice staff and fresh bread was excellent. Will definitely go back. Edit: Was given a totally wrong meal n was pretty bummed about it. Also it 100% was smaller than when I ate in.
