It’s Panera, but healthier. It’s like a lot of other places you can go for fast, casual and healthy. But you can dial down the healthiness if you want with some neat sandwich choices, and what appear to be really good looking desserts.

My friend and I went here for a little lunch date and received the most amazing food. The grilled chicken club was a perfect lunch, as well as the ahi tuna salad! There was great service , the food barely taking anytime to come. Shoutout to Manny, who was an amazing server making sure our food was exactly what we wanted.

My family and I have been loyal fans of Urban Plates for a long time, and our recent visit to the Urban Plates location in Carlsbad was truly extraordinary. The bright and spacious restaurant exudes a fresh and modern feel and I was thrilled to find my beloved green matcha latte on the menu, and I was delighted to meet the talented Sous Chef, Mathew Konatsu.

The food was great and there wasn’t a wait. The chicken sandwich was delicious and the other people in my party had a mushroom burger and chicken strips and they both loved their food too. Oh, and I don’t like mango but we shared a piece of mango pie that was amazing!!

I’ve been coming here for a few years. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and appreciated. Matt, the manager and Arlette, are particularly enthusiastic and kind. The chef also routinely makes the rounds, asking guests how they enjoy their meal. There’s a great meal at a good price for virtually every diet, including my vegan preferences. And the desserts are destination worthy. We often come just for dessert!

You can’t slap a label that says gluten free and dairy free and then add a giant piece of bread, cheese, and croutons…. Lost my trust. Gluten allergies beware.

I enjoy this place! The food is very tasty, pictured is the vegan meatless loaf with basmati rice and roasted potatoes along with the green mint tea! All very delicious and complimentary to the aesthetic, inviting ambience! I gave it a 4, because the truth is it is expensive, and not affordable for many folks. But, if you can afford to treat yourself, I recommend it! The food feels good and is great quality, which is important considering the prices. But overall, would say it is always a positive experience eating here!

I’m continually impressed by how many options Urban Plates has and the quality of the food on top of it all. It’s really easy to eat healthy or more homey here, and to order a new grouping of food every time you’re there. I’ve always walked in and ordered, but it appears that they have some way to order ahead that may be quicker to get your food. Either way, they have excellent seating options in side with plenty of room to work or meet with others over a meal.

Went there for the first time and was blown away by the quality of the food and the service. Matt the manager was super friendly to us and took the time to answer ALLLL of our questions with the utmost patience and a smile on his face. The food was delicious and exactly how he described it. We will definitely be returning to this location. Was a wonderful experience which is a rare find these days.
