Menu boards share enticing whole food combinations.
Urban Fresh totally embraces the whole foods movement. Everything they offer comes from plants. The menu includes juices and smoothies, salads and wraps, soups and even desserts. The place has a few outdoor tables, an inside eating bar to view passersby from the window. Wifi is available. A TV screen shows enticing pics of delectable fresh foods. Some of their fresh organic products come from Sleeping Frog Farms and Arizona Sprout House. Sandwiches and salads are made and placed in containers each day – so, you can eat in or take with you. On my visit, the band Delerium was playing in the background. What could be better?! The owners, Kathleen and Kathy, were friendly and willing to share their love of whole foods and ways to prepare them with customers eager to learn. Folks who take greater care in what they eat and where it comes from will find happiness here.
On my visit, I had the Green Goddess Wrap – avocado, kale, cucumber, pea shoots, basil, sun dried tomato, pesto, green hummus all wrapped in spinach tortilla goodness – and the prickly pear watermelon tea. Yum!
