    Located in Playhouse Village is Urth Caffe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a busy weekend, it is still a lovely place to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the vegan panini, vegan pumpkin pie, and the Urth energizer. They offer gluten free bread for the panini, but was sold out for the day. The pumpkin pie crust was gluten free and delicious. The Urth energizer had beets, pineapple, and ginger. You can taste the urth, I mean earth. Customer service was lovely, even on a busy weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restrooms were clean and tidy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over the years I've grown to love restaurants with shaded outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise was a little loud from the busy street and the background music also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're in the area it is a nice place to visit; it is also close to the Pasadena playhouse, gyms, and other health conscious restaurants. Looking for a nice place for a spot of lunch? Looks like you've found it! "A recipe is a story that ends with a good meal"

    Brownie

    My friend wanted a sweet treat after lunch and this was across the street so we decided to give it a try. We got a brownie, Thai tea blended boba, and cafe mocha. All the items came out a different time and we waited 20 minutes for all the items to arrive. The cashier I ordered from was rude and the service was slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating inside the cafe was small and cramped but there are also table outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The brownie (1.5/5) was very sweet so we were unable to finish it. The Thai tea blended boba (1/5) was watered down and did not taste like Thai tea. The ice mocha (2/5) was ok but nothing special. I would not come back again.

    Blended Green Tea Boba - $8.75 a year ago to $10.50 now. Crazy inflation

    Urth Caffe Pasadena is a classic. Good location, parking lot nearby that you have to pay for and street parking is all paid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are great here and there are lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoy the sunrise pizza but my favorite drink by far is the Blended Green Tea Boba. I came recently on a Sunday around 4pm and ordered a blended green tea boba to go. My order took 15 minutes to get. What surprised me the most is that the drink is now a whopping $10.50 and it used to be $8.75 a year ago. Not only has the price increased by 20% but the drink has also gotten smaller. The flavor is still consistent from what it used to be but $10.50 for this drink is insane. I'd rather just get a real matcha drink from a legit coffee/matcha spot.

    This salad was not up to par. Please photo of onion chunks that had to be picked out of the salad. They were the size of chiclets gum. Not very well executed. Service was also average. Cashiers not friendly. The person that brought the food was delightful and warm. This salad needs to be redesigned with smaller onion pieces. Or call it onion cucumber salad. It had no taste. This place is over priced and way over hyped. Best think was the iced latte that you can get anywhere.

    Eggs Verde

    I absolutely love coming here. I feel lucky when the lines short. As I waited in line I browsed their loose tea and grabbed a jar of Moroccan mint. I love that you can see desserts while you wait to order. My favorite is napoleon cake. This time I ordered: Eggs verde The mushroom omelette Iced Spanish latte Coffee of the day Food is consistent and the vibes always there. Portion is huge for me and you can always get a box for to go afterward.

    Sunrise Pizza

    If you're planning on dining in on a weekend, be prepared for a bit of a wait. Thankfully, they had two cashiers working to help move the line along. I also liked that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. After ordering, they give you a table number and bring the food directly to you. Amazon Smoothie: $10.99. Definitely on the pricier side, but the portion was generous and served in a tall glass filled to the top. I really enjoyed this since it tasted similar to an acai bowl without the icy texture. It was also topped with small mango bits, which was a nice touch. Sunrise Pizza: Unfortunately, this didn't live up to my expectations. The crust was pretty hard, and overall the pizza tasted a bit bland. I appreciate their focus on organic and locally sourced ingredients, and the space itself was nice, but the higher prices, long wait time, and underwhelming food would probably keep me from returning.

    The Italian Omelet
    Kevin T.

    Had this cafe in my list for a long time and I was able to take my wife here on Valentines Day. We arrived around 10 AM and there was already a line outside the cafe. This cafe is a order then find a seat type cafe and to be honest, I kind of like it. We waited around 30 minutes before it was our turn to place our order. The vibe here is quite nice as well, outdoor seating is spacious and all around, while inside is a bit cramped seating wise. The ceiling is quite tall so occasionally, you'll find yourself looking up to see the decorations, quite the brunch vibe overall. Parking here is a bit non existent? You either park on the street or you find a paid parking lot, pretty standard around Pasadena. The menu here is extensive, which ironically is good in a way that the line is long...sorta. However, my wife and I already decided beforehand what we wanted to order. --WHAT WE ORDERED-- -- Prosciutto & Cheese Breakfast Panini -- ($14.95) One of their featured menu items, this panini is one of the most decorated around. The presentation is spectacular, making it a amazing dish for a perfect picture. Onto the dish itself, it's quite flavorful. Usually with panini, everything falls apart if not made well, but this one is quite steady. Each bite was delicious in its own way, and not one bite left out any flavor from the ingredients inside, very well balanced. It's filled with eggs, peppers, mozzarella cheese, and some prosciutto di parma which is Italian ham, very well made, and highly recommend. -- The Italian Omelet -- ($17.50) I'm a sucker for omelet dishes and this is no different. I find myself with another amazingly presented dish, although it's just a omelet, this one is filled with chicken basil sausages which is different from your usual taste of sausages. Combined with roasted peppers, tomatoes, fresh basil and some mozzarella cheese, it was quite the taste. You have the spikey flavor of the chicken sausages as well as the melting taste of the eggs, it was amazing. I would get this dish again the next time I visit because it was so delicious. 10/10 -- Famous Pecan Sticky Bun -- ($6.50) Well, I'd be amazed but this dessert dish is one I would call, ADDICTING. Sweet, sticky, crunchy, and texture is great. Although it's a sweet dish, it's not too overwhelming and sweet. I believe the pecan balances the taste very well to not make it entirely too sweet. A perfect sweet chewy treat after your main entrees. 9/10 Overall, a wonderful brunch spot, although it's quite busy more often then not, the vibes are great especially on a day where it's not too cold nor too hot. Service here isn't really anything special since they don't check on you for anything. It's more of a cafe where people just hangout, eat, and even see some people on their laptops here. However, staff here is quite fast as they walk around looking for number stands to provide you with your order if you decide to dine in. Definitely will be back again to try other menu items as their menu is extensively big.

    Grilled Cilantro Chicken with Pesto Sandwich Half , D'Lox Toast and Waffle with fruit

    Usually always buys but the line moves fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Find your own table indoors or outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service and everyone is friendly! Food is delicious and definitely worth the extra buck.

    Urth is a true Pasadena staple with beautiful architecture that makes for a great atmosphere. The menu is incredibly abundant and you really get your money's worth with their generous portions and fair prices. I tried the Spanish latte, which was good, though I personally think it could have been a bit stronger. For food, the Eggs Salmone is a must. It's just yummy, especially with those perfect runny yolks. While it definitely gets busy on the weekends, the line moves quickly so you aren't waiting forever. Plus having plenty of parking in the back makes the whole experience way less stressful. It's a solid go-to spot :)

    I ordered a chicken panini and expected it to have more ingredients, but it was pretty basic. It did come with a small side of fruit, which was a nice touch. The parking in that area is difficult -- it says you have to pay for 3 hours, but I didn't pay since I was only there for a quick pickup and didn't have time to register the car. The pickup area is located all the way in the back in a separate room, which makes it a little inconvenient for a fast pickup.

    First time visiting and I can see why it's so popular! They have just about every breakfast, brunch and lunch food items your heart desires! It was so hard choosing but we sat down with the Vegan Portobello Panini and Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich, both so yummy! The service was fast considering the long line, but they served the food fast. The ambiance was an absolute delight! They had PLENTY of tables throughout the restaurant. Inside, outside in their adorable patio and toward the back. It would be impossible to not get an available table. One thing too, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place! They have amazing looking muffins, cakes and shakes!

    I only come here for the chicken doable pizza (no jalepenos) pizza is not spicy and mist amazing flavor, salmon toast, tuna sandwhich, kids Mac n cheese (just like grandmas). Best banana cream pies, croissants, chocolate pistachio croissants, cookies, brownie, cheese cakes.

    What is your favorite Urth Caffe dish? I know I'm a minority here. This place is overhyped and expensive for no reason. Avocado toast, Greek yogurt with granola (not assembled but on side) and an almond croissant set you back! $40-$50. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was beautiful and homemade feeling of bread and its creations was there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Situated in the heart of Pasadena is worth a visit but definitely not a reoccurring experience.

We should have allowed that to be our indiscretion for the day. But nooooo. Mr. B can smell sinfully yummy calories, even with a bag over his head, a mile away. Their specialty... chocolate croissants. Thus, we let Artisanal Goods lure us in. No parking, way too busy, way too full to seat us, a line bursting out the door, the tiny bakery cafe still seduced us. That is, Mr B circled the block in the car but pushed me out to get in line. It was the idea of a flaky, buttery, chocolate croissant crumbling all over his shirt that made him do it. And I had no intention of saying no. The line went quickly. The last Kouign Amann had just escaped my clutches to the guy in front of me, darn it. But there were still trays upon trays of freshly baked, massive chocolate croissants displayed in their custom, wood display case right next to the register. Sorry about no pictures, but you know how things get out of hand sometimes. However if you want to experience an orgasm in pastry form, I suggest you high tail it here.

My experience here was disappointing from start to finish…read more The staff came across as cold, dismissive, and completely uninterested in providing good customer service. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like I was inconveniencing them just by ordering. A friendly attitude goes a long way, and that was completely missing. The coffee was even more disappointing. It had almost no flavor and tasted watered down, especially for the price. I expected a quality drink, but it was bland and absolutely not worth what I paid. To make matters worse, we were told to leave the patio an hour before the shop was even closing. If the patio has different hours, that should be clearly communicated instead of asking paying customers to leave early. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. Between the unfriendly service, flavorless coffee, and being asked to leave well before closing, I won't be coming back. There are plenty of other cafés in Pasadena that offer much better coffee and treat their customers with respect.

My husband went with the Brioche Egg Benedict; he said it was just okay (not bad, but not memorable).

    Very disappointing experience with how we were treated…read more We went here for lunch last weekend and waited about an hour and a half for a table. When the host at the front, who was managing the waitlist, told us our table was getting cleaned, she pointed to a specific table that was being cleaned by the busboys. Shortly afterward, I saw a customer approached the staff, and they seated him at the same table we had just been told was ours. I immediately asked the manager what was going on. The manager told me that the host had "said it wrong" and that the other customer had a reservation. I understand that reservations need to be honored, but then why were we told that this particular table was ours after we had already waited 90 minutes? We had given our name, followed the waitlist process, and patiently waited. If there was a reservation for that table, the staff should have known and communicated that clearly. The next available table could have been given to the reservation party. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the manager's attitude toward us compared with his attitude toward the other party. We had done nothing wrong. We were understandably unhappy because someone else was seated at the table we had just been promised. Since the confusion was caused by the restaurant, we would have appreciated at least a meaningful "I'm sorry." Instead, the manager seemed annoyed when speaking with us (think about a cold tone voice and side eyeing). At the same time, he was smiling and friendly toward the other party. The difference in attitude was very noticeable and left us feeling like we were not being treated fairly or equally. This was especially uncomfortable with the difference in our ethnicity and the other party. I cannot say for certain that race was the reason for what happened, but the combination of being passed over for a table we were told was ours, and then seeing the manager treat the other party so differently made it very difficult not to question. I hope the restaurant reviews how its hosts and managers handle situations like this, because customers deserve to be treated consistently and respectfully.

    Came here for the souffle pancakes and they didn't disappoint!…read more My party of 3 stopped by Saturday afternoon 2:30 pm and it wasn't crowded. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get. I'd love to come back to try their other desserts and pancakes!

Good oolong/peach flavor was light, airy, and slightly sweet. The black sesame chiffon roll was also light and subtly sweet with a nice nutty flavor. The cafe itself was pretty small with 3 small tables, 1 big table, and bar seatings with charging ports. The bathroom was closed and it was really warm inside. I couldn't see myself studying or staying too long, which may be for the best since parking is tricky and street parking has a 2 hour limit. An okay experience, but I don't see myself coming back.
