Worthy lunch stop

Lovely staff in a quiet setting with outdoor or indoor seating. The smoothie was absolutely delicious. The sandwiches are huge. The cole slaw accompanying my Reuben was different than I expected but I decided I liked it. My friend had the BLT and I tasted the “bacon” which I thought was close to the best vegan bacon I’ve had.

Updated from previous review on 2024-11-02

Pros: Friendliness. , Serving sizes. , Great smoothie

Cons: Can almost say the sandwiches are too big. , Did not like the pickle.

So good

I had the Reuben but I hate Rye bread but they hooked me up with sourdough instead. Soooo good. If you’re in the area don’t sleep on this. Also ordered a funky monkey smoothie. Everything is just divine. Met the owner and such a nice man!

Pros: Food, People, Smoothie

Cons: None!

YUM! and healthy, too. Urban Fresh on Pennington and Scott

Chauncey and Dana fix it as you like it. They have vegan breakfast burritos all day long and now they even have healthy oyster mushrooms as well as other varieties in some of the soups and entrées.
They have some incredible raw specials, one of which was a delectable raw falafel. I go there twice in some weeks, or as often as I can. One of my favorite drinks is the large green juice. But you will find the items you like. I am hooked on this healthy food. if you go there often enough, you’ll find out you will soon be known and called by your name as you walk in the door. This restaurant cares about what it serves, and it cares about your palate as well as your health. Thank you guys.

A favorite Tucson spot

Urban Fresh is a favorite lunch spot for my best friend and me. I almost always get the daily special - it's always creative and yummy. The owners are some of the nicest people that I have ever met.

So glad I stopped in

I was in the area looking for a place for a quick bite. The staff was so kind and helpful. It was my first time stopping in, and the staff at the counter walked me through the specials and explained more about the menu etc. I wish I was closer because I definitely want to try more!

I got the rainbow wrap and the pad Thai wrap.

Pros: Lots of options including raw , Friendly staff

Delicious, fresh food and consistent quality

The burger and salad I ordered were truly amazing! I love that their burger patty is tofu and mushroom based as those are 2 of my favorite foods and they make for a savory but not overly heavy burger. The gyro salad is to die for- perfectly balanced and all the greens and veggies are so crisp and fresh.

So Good!

I almost passed through without stopping here and that would have been a shame. It was so delicious and the owner was SO kind. You can tell a lot of thought is put into how their dishes are made and their products are sourced. I had the eggplant torta special that came with a cactus salad side. Oh. My. So yummy. I've also tried the pad Thai wrap- which was really fresh and light feeling. The chia pudding and cinnamon rolls were delicious too. Will definitely be stopping here every time I am in town.

Exceptional healthy food, and incredible owners & staff

We are in love with Urban Fresh and can't wait to return. The food is Fresh, healthy and delicious. Even the corn chips for my chiliquiles were baked instead of fried, allowing for a tastier meal and the chance to savor the rich flavors without being heavy and fried. Simply delicious. My hubby got the biscuits and gravy, which were incredible. The gravy was outstanding and different from other kinds we have tries. We got two raw items to go to eat on the road for lunch and they held up great and were outstanding. The collard green wrap with Sunflower pate blew my mind it was so flavorful! Words can't do justice to how amazing the onion tart with walnut/pecan crust tastes - one of the top vegan items I have ever enjoyed. And then there are the baked goods... omg! Flavorful cinnamon roll and out of this world good scone. And the staff were wonderful and the owners/cook were there, too, and so kind. In addition to incredible food, we got wonderful tips on places to explore in beautiful Arizona and tips for parking in downtown tuscon next time we come through. Grateful for an amazing culinary and personal experience 🙏 #Veganuary

Fabulous

The owner was so great to help me choose a WFPB no oil meal. I got the yin yang salad and hubby got the reuben sandwich with a blueberry scone. Everything was delicious.

We happened to park in the parking garage on 6th and Pennington. It was right by this place. The owner said the first hour is free. But we had a problem exiting. The parking garage charged us a $1, no big deal but it wouldn't take our credit card. Any credit cards with metal won't work. Luckily for us a parking attendant told us to use another card and it worked. How would anyone know this?

Pros: Wonderful food, Helpful friendly staff

Cons: No indoor seating

Super Slaw

So much to like about the slaw: slightly sweet creamy cashew sauce, quinoa, tiny chunks of apple, broccoli, red cabbage, raisins, almond slivers, cooked yam dice, sunflower sprouts, bed of spinach and lettuce. Refreshing!

Pros: All vegan, Perfect recommendation, Reasonably priced

Burrito & Hummus Plate

I finally got a chance to give this place a try and it was well worth it. The burrito was delicious and the hummus plate was fresh and tasty. My only gripe is the hummus comes in one of those small condiment cups and I was done with it before I was done with all the veggies. You really should get two cups of hummus.

WONDERFUL!!

We just had our first experience at Urban Fresh. We ordered a BLT Sandwich, a South Of The Border Wrap, and Scones for dessert. The South Of The Border Wrap was very good. I would definitely get it again. The BLT Sandwich was delicious. The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Scones were still warm and extremely good. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. This is definitely a place to return to.

Pros: 100% Vegan, Very “clean” ingredients, Super Friendly

Cons: None
