Urbane Café opened its 46th restaurant on Oct. 26 at 7000 Hollister Ave., Suite 102, in Goleta, California. The location marks the Ventura, California-based fast-casual chain's entry into Santa Barbara County. The restaurant serves made-from-scratch focaccia, gourmet sandwiches, salads and bowls. Founder Tom Holt said the Santa Barbara community had been asking for a location for some time.

The opening follows the brand's September debut in Glendale, California. Urbane Café plans to open six additional Southern California locations in 2027, with a long-term goal of reaching 100 restaurants by 2030.

The company, which opened its first restaurant in Ventura in 2003, is also expanding in Las Vegas and Arizona.
