Cafe Urbano Avondale — under-the-radar cafe in Avondale. Order the Avocado Toast. Warm, genuine service throughout. Michael Nagel: "Their avocado toast was incredible with a pico/onion/guacamole topped with balsamic"

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

Very good spot on a quiet stretch of Elston Ave. Carries collectivo for their coffee and has a good variety of Mexican style breakfast offerings and pastries. Everything we got was very good and service was quick. Location has a lot of nice urban styled art up on the walls and noise is pretty minimal. Definitely worth going to

SO GOOD! the neighborhood needs to try this spot. we had the breakfast burrito, chilaquiles burrito, and kids grilled cheese. all excellent, as were the different salsas. the staff is super nice and the space is laid back with lots of plants. the drinks looks fantastic; we’ll be back to try. kid friendly and vegetarian friendly!

Cafe Urbano has a delicious pup cup with a base of house made whipped cream topped with one split milkbone. The whipped cream had just the right texture and stayed fluffy all the way home. The milkbone soaked in just the right amount of whipped cream for the perfect textural contrast of soft & crunchy. Not to be ignored is the multicolored paw print cup it came in because, as everyone knows, you eat with your eyes first. Oh, and I guess my people said the sandwiches & coffee are good too. Highly recommend! 4 paws of approval!

Don’t be fooled the shredded cheese melted right after I took this picture. Fresh and the best tuna melt to have at 7am, honestly was so pleased. I loved the horchata too! Lovely local art, long wooden bench and tables with plantas…thank you for helping decide between what to order because everything looks made with love 💗

Cafe Urbano: Everyone in the area needs to try. Their avocado toast was incredible with a pico/onion/guacamole topped with balsamic. Their breakfast burrito is a perfect mix. They have a great variety of coffee options and offer non-dairy creamer (almond milk). I look forward to returning! * Remember to include a tip.

Love Cafe Urbano! This new location is currently in a soft open, but is absolutely killing it already serving up a large array of hot and iced drinks as well as a big selection of classic cafe pastries, sandwiches, and snacks. Their staff is super friendly and are skilled behind the espresso machine and flat top. I got the cortado with whole milk this morning and it was one of the best in the neighborhood, super smooth with a nice mild bitterness. They have vegan options available too! Come give ‘em your business!

The veggie omelette was pretty good. I'll definitely return to try something different the next time.

Ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and a carnitas breakfast burrito. Good presentation on the burrito, but the carnitas were just ok (in my opinion). The salsa was great - super flavorful and just a small hint of spiciness, but I ran out quickly. My large latte came out to $10 after tip and the burrito was $16. Also a good spot to sit down and work, with free wifi. Would go back. Next time I'd love to try the chilaquiles or the Chicken Pesto sandwich.
