Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. Had the BLT burger and the nacho platter. Food was outstanding. I've eaten at plenty of vegan restaurants across the country over past 20 years and this one ranks up there with the best. Generous portions, including the toppings to nacho ratio. Probably about 15 other customers there at the time I was (which was a Tuesday at 6pm) and service was fast and friendly. I really enjoyed the vibe of the place too.

Pros: The food, The service, Atmosphere

Cons: Coconut taste dominated the coconut bacon

Good but stale bagel and underwhelming oatmeal

I got the bagel with carrot locks. The carrot locks were good but the bagel was stale. It may have been stale because I let it sit for a couple of minutes before eating but not sure. It also may have been stale because it's gluten free. My dad got the oatmeal and it was a little underwhelming (a little dry from the looks of it). Otherwise good place with good coffee. Also, organic non gmo doesn't matter stop pushing this vegans. It makes vegan food more expensive and bougie, veganism needs to not just appeal to rich hipsters with Orthorexia.

Great place! Fun vibe!

We had a group of 6 and even though the place was small we were able to nab a table! I loved this atmosphere! Also the chairs were super comfy.

My friends really enjoyed their chili, my husband enjoyed his Poke bowl, and I enjoyed the Mac and cheese. It has a surprising Smokey flavor. It was yummy! I also got a side salad, I wasn’t impressed with their only dressing. (Soy ginger) it just tasted like soy sauce, but I still ate it.

Pros: All vegan! , Gluten free options! , Fun, cute atmosphere.

ZERO STARS

The worst and the slowest service in the world for mediocre food. I waited 40 minutes in a uncrowded cafe for the item purchased. Absolutely ridiculous. I wanted to give ZERO stars. How to give it zero stars- two is too many.

Pros: The leaving experience was great.

Cons: SLOW - see item pictured - it took 40 minutes in , SLOW - cafe that had NO ONE in it. Awful service., SLOW - avoid at all costs

I thinks it’s absolutely AMAZING to have an all vegan restaurant here. I loved the atmosphere.

Pros: Everything is vegan , Great service , Food comes out fast

Cons: Drink wasn’t worth the $$, Food I could make at home

So many options

Great variety. Had the grain bowl, son had beeteroni pizza and husband for granola bowl. All were excellent. Service was great and reasonable prices. Had a lot of vegan dessert options. Chocolate cake and apple tart was amazing.

Love this place and everything in the menu. Highlights are the Sunrise Sammie with an addd sausage patty and the avocado toast with balsamic and coconut bacon. Yum! Pro tip—almost never a wait for a table for brunch!

Wonderful experience

My husband and I visited from CA and was strongly encouraged to eat here. When we travel it is difficult locating vegan restaurants that serve great food. Urban Beets is a restaurant that we highly recommend. When we visit family again we will definitely make this a stop

Pros: All vegan food , Staff is very nice and wonderful restaurant vibe, Food tasted wonderful

Cons: Need indicate on the menu if food is spicy , Bar menu appetizer & pizza only available after 4, No vegan dessert options

Amazing, cozy, delicious

We loved Urban Beets! I had a Buddha bowl and my husband had the Reuben. Both dishes came quickly and were delicious and filling. So glad Milwaukee has a place with compassionate and delicious food.

Quick and delicious

Visiting Milwaukee, this was the last of the downtown vegan places I hadn't tried yet. Will definitely be back! The Reuben was very good, and the slaw has a secret flavor I wasn't able to place, but really enjoyed. Relaxed atmosphere, quick service.

I’m pretty much a regular...

I go here far to often, but hey atleast I admit it. I’ve had one of their juices, the lox & cream cheese bagel, the avocado toast with coconut bacon, the Poké bowl, the buffalo chickpea pizza (my favorite), the lemon & Macao smoothie bowls. Everything is delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Pros: 100% vegan, Decently priced , Great atmosphere

Everything is vegan here

I love being able to walk into a place and know that I can order anything on the menu. Expect to pay about $9 for a dish and/or $6 for a juice. Their juice & smoothie blends are excellent (I recommend the “immunity” juice, which has apple, citrus & cayenne). Menu gets updated every so often with new items (bring back the Reuben!). My favorite item right now is their carrot lox bagel (cashew cream cheese, smoked/pickled (?) carrot strips and capers), but I also recommend their taco bowl. They just expanded the space so there is more seating available. The food is brought out quickly so it’s a good place to grab something to go for lunch.

Pros: delicious , quick

Cons: lack of diversity in staff

So good and fresh

Fantastic fresh vegan lunch! Pleased with sandwich selection, but would have loved more soup options. They were only serving one, and it had curry. Next time.

crew of five

Complete vegan menu. Lots of options.
Came here with my crew as a celebration. We all thought our food was great and we're very satisfied. The atmosphere was lovely. The lighting is great, bright fun inspiring atmosphere! Im the only vegan on crew.

They mentioned it's not a usual occurrence to serve 5 at a time. Smoothies came first which I really appreciate.

They are expanding. Construction. No construction was going on during our visit. I imagine it happens on closed hrs for costumer courtesy.

I will certainly be back if I'm in the area again!

Pros: lots of vegan options, great atmosphere, very kind staff (2)

Cons: tuff to serve larger groups with light staff and s

Delicious and great atmosphere!

I went for lunch and had the cranberry walnut chickpea sandwich and a matcha latte with hazelnut milk, both delicious! The place is also super cute, really bright colors and a nice light and airy space. I want to go back and try everything else on the menu- it's fairly small, but all looks so good!

Pros: Great food, good portion size , nice atmosphere
