the urban Farmhouse market & café (Shockoe Slip)

Stopped by Urban Farmhouse for a quick bite and coffee. The coffee was solid smooth and strong. What really surprised me was the bagel with their homemade cream cheese. Simple, but really good. You can tell they care about the ingredients. Only downside: they’re clearly understaffed. It took a while to get everything, and you could see the team trying to keep up. If you’re in a rush, maybe not ideal but if you’ve got time, it’s worth it.

I was craving a Saturday lunch spot in the neighborhood, but everything seemed shuttered for the day, so I ended up at Urban Farmhouse. Big letdown. I ordered their Cuban sandwich, but the bread was stale, and the meat was so scant it barely registered. As for the side of potato chips? It looked like they'd scraped the bottom of the bag onto my plate—crumbs galore, easier to scoop with a spoon than munch by hand. Won't be rushing back.

I don't normally leave a lot of reviews, so hear me when I tell you that I was beyond shocked at how bad the food was. I've lived really close by for years but just never stopped by. Ordered the egg & bacon and the egg & ham sandwiches and they were literally inedible 😭 no flavor in literally anything. and not just that it was bland, it was genuinely nasty. the lack of... diversity inside tells you all you need to know about what the food tastes like. we literally tossed them both after 1 bite and left immediately. and for that price? just go literally anywhere else lol

Meh. Sandwich came unassembled, and pricey. Juice smoothie was room temperature, and paper straws feel terrible and feel especially stupid when served with a plastic cup, in a restaurant that doesnt even have an obvious way to recycle the glass bottle beverage I bought (that seemed shaken or was so over carbonated that half of it overflowed when I opened it).

I had a delicious veggie sausage and egg sandwich with fruit for nine bucks. Lots of food and tasty.
