Urban Sips (also referred to as Fez&Co in some reviews) receives highly polarized feedback. Many customers rave about the cozy atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and specific dishes like the shakshuka, Fez Breakfast, and wraps, leading to strong repeat business. However, a significant minority report very poor experiences, citing unkind staff, a negative work environment vibe, and some poorly executed, overpriced menu items like tough skewers.
