Urbane Cafe - Benton Park

We visited the 2nd day they were open. Everything on their menu looked good. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the citrus tuna salad and the club sandwich. They arrived swiftly, delivered to our table outside. The Citrus Salad has citrus tuna, mixed greens, tomatoes, avocado, cucumbers, pickled red onions with citrus vinaigrette. Served with Fresh Baked Focaccia Bread. It comes with a small container of orange juice (vinaigrette? as the dressing.The salad was flavourful and had a fresh citrus taste. I had the Club sandwich. It had roasted turkey, Applewood-smoked bacon, avocado, cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, green leaf lettuce, herb aioli and came with a side salad of mixedgreens and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The sandwich was well assembled and flavorful. The applewood smoked bacon was great. The balsamic dressing on the side salad was some of the best I've had. Not sure what makes it differrent butnext time I'll ask for extra so I can dip my bread or sandwich into it as well. For dessert,, they have fresh baked cookies. The oatmeal raisin was soft, warm and chewy. Perfect. The chocolate with white chocolate chips was very sweet, warmand chocolate-y. Very good. I am definitely recommending this place to everyone and will be back often. I wish I had taken a picture of our meals but we dug straight in. Next time I will. The food pics here are from their site. The menu andinterior shots are from the California Ave location in Bakersfield. :

Unique sandwiches where the bread is made to order in a wood fired oven. Very cool! Tried the Banh mi sandwich and it had a great balance of flavors and textures. Also ordered a chicken torta for my son that must have been good because there was nothing left of it. A little pricy, but worth trying. Not your typical sandwich shop.

Yummy and fresh food! We ordered the turkey and cranberry and the California sandwiches both on the both on focasia herb bread. Super clean with friendly staff

I had asked my mom where she wanted to eat...she kept saying a salad...so I asked which restaurant it happened to be Urbane Cafe. We arrived. It wasn't very busy which was good cuz my mother was hungry. I ordered the ahi bowl, my mom had salmon salad, I had an addition to my bowl, the tortilla soup and a cookie. I have to say overall I was very pleased with the quality of the food and by far the cookies with white morsels and cranberries were delicious. I'm definitely goingback soon.

We had the Santa Maria and the salmon bowl. Lots of ingredients for a bowl of salad.
