LOS ANGELES and PASADENA, Calif. (PRWEB) May 05, 2018 -- PASADENA – May 7th, 2018 – Voted for having “Best Sandwich” by the Ventura County Reporter, Urbane Cafe is opening its newest cafe in Pasadena located in the heart of Pasadena at 218 S.

To celebrate its opening, Urbane Cafe will host a week of special giveaways, fundraisers, and complimentary meals starting Friday, May 11th at 11:30am.
Before it officially opens its doors, Urbane Cafe plans to match funds donated by patrons supporting the following local charities during three Pre-Grand Opening Fundraisers: Young and Healthy, Reading Partners, and Stars Lake Ave Foundation. Tom Holt, the owner and founder of Urbane Cafe, stated, “Giving back to our local communities and being socially responsible is a major, foundational pillar that has supported our Urbane Cafe brand from the very first opening of Urbane Cafe 15 years ago. It is important for our staff to connect with our guests and to care about our community in the very same way we care about the preparation of our hearty, fresh, focaccia sandwiches and generous, healthy salads and bowls.”
All three pre-events will lead up to the official grand opening on Monday, May 14, where the first 50 guests in line will be eligible to win free sandwiches for a month and will all receive a special giveaway. On Tuesday, May 15, Urbane Cafe will provide complimentary meals for all our hard-working law enforcement, firefighters and veterans.

ABOUT URBANE CAFE

Popular with health-and-budget-conscious customers for 14 years, Urbane Cafe is a lunch and dinner destination for families and business people who want a fast, fresh, affordable meal. The lunch and dinner menu at each Urbane Cafe restaurant features fresh, healthy sandwiches and salads served in a warm, inviting setting. Catering and Take-Out are also popular.

URBANE CAFE HISTORY
It all started in 2003 when owner Tom Holt realized there was a missing niche in the Ventura restaurant scene. He wanted a great sandwich and salad – something different, while still being dedicated to delicious tasting food. He understood that every great sandwich starts with the freshest of bread, so he designed the cafe around a hearth oven. Working with his friend Pete, they came up with a bread recipe that was soft, delicious and baked fresh, right in front of your eyes. It didn’t stop there though, he created a menu centered around locally sourced ingredients, juicy-roasted meats, and crafted sauces to give each creation its own unique flavor. Urbane Cafe loves being the place where friends, family and communities gather to celebrate and make memories over delicious food. Our passion is to have our guests walk out happy every time and keep them coming back for more.
