Eggs Verde
Katelyn K.

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.

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.

Second time enjoying urth cafe before a show at the Pasadena playhouse (it's right around the corner). Food was enjoyable, service was friendly, and space was clean. Urth cafe has a variety of options on the menu, guaranteed to be something for everyone.

Everytime is in Pasadena it's mandatory to make a stop here at this cafe! Big, spacious, so much outdoor seating, the service is amazing and fast! The food is delicious I always get the Diablo pizza it's to die for!! I put all my family members on and they love it!

Caravan Kale Salad and Chicken Soup, Amazon Rainforest Smoothie™
Jacqueline T.

We came here for a late lunch on Saturday. The place is crowded as usual. We were able to grab a table. My daughter ordered the Amazon sunshine smoothie, a chicken soup and I have the caravan kale salad. The smoothie is fine, not particularly special. The chicken soup is good. The bread is a tad hard. My kale salad is ok. Just a tad too much salad dressing and too acidic for taste. It's quite pricing at $19.50 without any protein. Urth is at a great location, strong brand, which I see why they can charge up. There are many places to explore in Pasadena.

Rising Sun Matcha Latté™ Small
Pooja M.

Went here with a friend- she got the monkey granita with espresso but there were so many options. For people who like the banana taste, this is the one to get. I got the rising sun matcha latte which was soooo pretty and yummy. It has matcha and espresso so it's a light caffeine boost. There are a lot of places to sit, and the waiters will find you anywhere! It's a large space and the outside has lights. Although, we saw a rat running around under the tables and it came from the bushes outside which was discomforting. I didn't see it go inside, it went back into the bushes or wherever.

Huevos rancheros pizza was mediocre
Christy C.

I feel so bummed to have to update my previous good review to a bad one since this has been one of my favorite brunch spots for many years. I ordered UberEats and it took an hour to arrive (which wasn't a big deal since it's raining). I ordered a Strawberry Matcha ($9.89) and it was the and most disappointing and expensive strawberry matcha I've ever had. There was zero matcha flavor and it literally tasted like a strawberry jam drink. Definitely don't recommend! The Huevos Rancheros Pizza ($19.29) was very dry and cold. I requested the eggs to be poached and I received a well done hard boiled egg. I've ordered this plenty of times (take-out and at the restaurant) and I've never had this happen before. The quality has definitely gone downhill and they obviously didn't follow my instructions. Overall, I was extremely disappointed in my drink and my pizza so I most likely won't return or recommend unfortunately.

Organic Green Tea Boba - Blended - $4.95
Tu-Anh N.

WHEN: Thu @6pm A great spot to work out of because they open late and have plenty of seating inside and out. Sure there are no outlets nor wi-fi, but it's not the end of the world. The set up is that you order at the counter first, and if it's a to-go item, you wait outside in the back for them to bring it out. There's additional seating in a room in the back that looked cozy, otherwise even at night, this place is still good to sit outdoors. They have such a great selection of teas that I had no idea there is a separate menu for tea alone. With the wonderful help from the staff, here's what I got: HOT TEA (large) - GRATEFUL HEART - $4.95 A gratifying blend of South African rooibos, orange, and ginger combined with fragrant flower petals from around the world. It was so nice of the staff member to ask if I also wanted honey and lemon in it, which I did! It was such a comforting warm beverage. It did take awhile for it to come out but that's okay. I've been here a many times before back when I lived in the area. They have a great selection of desserts and beverages and hot plates if you are feeling peckish. Urth Caffe never fails whenever I come here!

Forgot what this was
Amelea J.

This place has always treated me right. From the service to the good food. This location has multiple options for seating. I wouldn't recommend for large parties though. Cafe vibes aren't the best for groups, but try your luck. The negative thing I will say is their restroom could use some attention. It's horrid in there as if a homeless person lived in there. I wouldn't shit in there if my life depended on it. I was afraid to pee without thinking I was going to catch something.

George T.

Urth Caffé in Pasadena was very good. When you get up to pay, they put all the desserts right in front of you, which is not fair at all because everything looks amazing and nothing looks like it is under a thousand calories. The food itself was excellent. I had an egg white panini and the turkey chili. I also had to get the corn waffle and took that home. It was absolutely delicious later. At the table we also had a bowl of their vegetarian chili. Everything tasted fresh and well made. One thing to note is that because of the lines, you do not get your seat until after you order and have your food, but they have the system down and it works. For food quality and overall experience, Urth Caffé Pasadena gets 5 stars.

King's French Toast King
Stephanie V.

Urrh Caffe has really solid food--everything tastes fresh and our drinks and meals came out perfect. That said, the seating situation could use some work. We came on a Saturday around 9 a.m. and waited about 15-30 minutes just to order. By the time we got our number, all the tables were already taken by people saving seats before ordering, so we had to wait for someone to leave. It's never fun hovering and watching other diners to see if they're almost done. Clearer guidance on seating would make a big difference. Parking is available on the street, with a paid lot nearby as well. The seating is metal tables and chairs, which can be pretty cold on chilly mornings--definitely bring a sweater or something to sit on. There are heaters overhead and standing heaters, which help. Great food overall, just be prepared for a wait and a slightly chaotic seating experience during peak times.

Chicken Grilled Cilantro Chicken with Pesto Sandwich Half
Haleh M.

Service is always great here. Everything runs so efficiently. I love their Spanish latte and it's always my go to. Today I had time for lunch and got the cilantro/pesto chicken sandwich and it was perfect. With the side salad it was just right not making me feel overly full. Parking can be tricky but if you can try and dine in. The vibes are on point both for indoor and outdoor seating.

Grilled Cilantro Chicken with Pesto salad full
Lily V.

Saturday lunch time and it's packed but reasonably packed. Finding parking is the biggest challenge, most parking is up to an hour or a walk from the cafe. Luckily, we made it to about an hour so we didn't have to worry about parking tickets. But if the line was any longer, we wouldn't have made it! The line had roughly 15 people ahead of us, took 10 minutes, I was able to find a table and my friend waited in line and ordered for us both. The place was busy and had people waiting for orders. We ordered cilantro chicken with salad and a chocolate cake. We also ordered two iced latte (sugar free) which you can ask for no sugar free vanilla syrup since that was a dollar extra (you can also sub milk with almond milk for a dollar extra). We got our number and waited at the table. Unfortunately, the wait for the food was a little longer than expected, some sandwiches came before us and those were ordered after us. The bus times really show, the drinks took 10 minutes longer than the food. Since we ordered salads, it was ok for us to quickly eat and we did have to rush out once our 1 hour was up so we packed the drinks, bread and cake to go. They had cups for us to grab and we asked for boxes and a bag. Overall, it was still a rushed lunch, I still thought the salad was good, especially the pesto sauce. I dipped everything in that pesto and wish I could have more! The cake was actually only ok, I think it was a bit too dry so the frosting was a must to get that chocolatey bite. The latte was good, very strong espresso flavor and if you need more milk you can add some more where the cups are located. I think I enjoyed the ambiance a lot and it made up for the long wait. The decorations on their walls was beautiful and entertained my toddler as well, he asked what they were and I had to tell him they were coffee and tea drinks which he can't have but he did have some cake and chicken!

I was expecting the bread to be soft and fluffy but that wasn't the texture at all. The egg salad was quite heavy on mayonnaise and had too much pepper for my preference. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the sandwich unfortunately. The Sunny Side Up (Coconut Mango Mousse Cake) - $9.50 - was delicious! Love how it was nicely packaged in a cute tin! The mango mousse was so creamy and I could tell it was made with sweet mangos! The cake was so moist and fresh. The coconut cream on top made it even more delicious! Definitely recommend! The Tiramisu ($9.50) was so good! It was so creamy and every bite was nicely layered with mascarpone mousse/coffee jelly and topped with cocoa powder. It wasn't too sweet and the cream didn't feel too heavy. The cake was very fresh and soft! Overall, I didn't enjoy the sandwich but the cakes were incredible and definitely worth getting!

The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

Service: 5 stars, our server Kiana was outstanding. I troubled her for a glass of ice, she…read morebrought me a glass of ice and filled it with water for me and said I filled it with water for you! She read my mind and knew without me saying. They serve lukewarm water and the a/c was on but was not on ..if u catch my drift. The front hostess was also phenomenal, I had reservation for outdoor seating but since she saw that the sun was like glaring, she asked if I wanted to change to inside. Very obliging and accommodating. Food: 5 stars, surprisingly good, right amount for us. I was full but I can see where other reviewers say portions are small. It's small if u're a heavy eater. But the quality is definitely there. Ambiance: trendy, high energy, casual vibes where u can lounge and have a beer while munching on fries...or u can choose to be poshy and have a glass of wine with a salad and Chilean sea bass. It's flexible to accommodate both as there are different sections. Parking: street metered 1 hour parking. 3 stars, not their fault but 1 hour is simply not enough. It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .
