Best coffee (latte) at LAX. Coffee at LAX until today has always been a disappointment (for example all the Starbucks are worse than most regular Starbucks and even places that are good for coffee in the real world (Homeboys Cafe) suck at the airport. The latte I had at Urth was not only good but as good as what you'd get at the Urth Cafe in the DTLA arts district. Not only that, but when I took the lid off to sip immediately without scalding myself if it was too hot and I drank from the hole in the lid, it turned out the barista, Gaelle, had taken the time to do a passable latte-art heart, even knowing that only 1 in 10 customers was ever likely to take a look under the lid). IMO this is the hallmark of a barista that really gives a shit, which IMO is generally even more important than the quality of the beans . In circling back to get the barista's name, her comadre mentioned she was the manager, so the likelihood of you having the same person make your drink is probably high. Pro-tip: they have two espresso machines. One is a real one with two giant portafilter ports, the other a fully automatic do everything machine like you might find in the waiting area in the service lounge at a high end autodealership. I was getting a half caf latte, and when I inquired I was told that normally they would pull the caffeinated shot from the automatic and the decaf one from the real espresso machine. I asked if they could pull both from the real machine and Gaelle did. read more

Urth knows they got a captive market for breakfast at LAX, so even with nearly $20 oatmeal as the offering, I stood in a giant line of 30 people to pay my dues for not preparing accordingly. The nice thing is the giant line does go pretty fast, as most people are ordering coffees or oatmeal not hot cooked food, but if you want breakfast during an early morning flight, your pickings are slim. Service was efficient and nice for 5:45 am. read more

Located inside airport Terminal 1. Service at register was great lady super friendly and fast but at the back very slows and only 2 people in front of me. Took a long time. They do have a lot seats and tables for corner they located. As for matcha drink I am sure I can make a better one not too impressed especially for drink be so expensive. They do have a good selection of pastries read more

I just checked my receipt after leaving the airport and realized that I was overcharged. This place added up my food wrong, adding an additional $1.59 for nothing, then on top of that they charged a 6% fee on the food, drink and sales tax. Which I don't believe is legal to add a fee to sales tax, considering that is a pass through amount that the company does not retain. I emailed the company asking for an explanation. As you can see from my attached receipt, my overpriced food should total $9.69, but the subtotal below shows $11.28, then the beverage is correct at $9.10, the other charge is the ridiculous 6% "surcharge" and tax is listed last, but when doing the math you can see the surcharge includes the sales tax. This might seem petty to some but I believe this is deception and terrible customer service. read more

I stopped by Urth Caffe at LAX airport while waiting for my flight. There were a few people in line and most of the nearby tables were occupied, but the line moved fairly quickly. It is a popular spot to eat so I can see it getting really busy. The cashier who took my order was nice and friendly. I ordered the blended green tea and it was really good! Personally, I order their green tea over their matcha. I wanted to add boba but they didn't have any when I visited. They called out my name once the drink was ready and it took less than five minutes. read more

I love Urth Caffe in West LA but sadly the people who work at this location ruined it for me. The worst was the man working as cashier with dreds. No hi, told me there was no kale salad even though it was on the menu. He realized his mistake after the fact. No apology. No help to get it for me. I said thank you and he didn't say "you're welcome". Just silence and wouldn't even look at me. I asked if I could order wine and he said the bartender just took her lunch break. Really negative energy and left me with a bad experience and feeling. If you have an attitude like that you shouldn't be working customer service. Hire some new employees. read more

I've always wanted to try me some Urth Caffe!! Unfortunately, I never got around to it due to short stays or the accompanying party not being interested. Thankfully my most recent passing through of LAX gave me the opportunity. First things first, there was only a cash option for payment during my visit. I am not sure what the glitch was but staff openly informed customers upfront of the situation. I'm not sure how much the menu from LAX differs from an actual caffe site but the offerings seemed plentiful. There are 4 breakfast items, a choice of 6 different sandwiches, & 3 types of salads. This location also provides alcoholic drinks and has a full espresso bar. Purchases: Caravan Kale Salad Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich Soda Food: TBH, I was a little taken back by the pre-made salads. I went along with the initial pick anyhow but I was a bit disappointed @ first sight. The grilled chicken pesto sandwich was made fresh. The caravan kale salad was really really really good- even with it being premade! The kale was fresh, the meal was light, and the pita chips provided such a nice crunch. This salad was a HOME-RUN! The was just as good. The chicken was moist, the pesto in itself was delicious, and the veggies were very fresh. 5/5 stars. I'm even more excited and determined to visit an Urth Caffe during my next visit to SoCal!!!! read more

I ordered an Iced Green Tea (matcha) latte with soy milk substitute and vanilla along with a warmed up butter croissant to top it off. I'm glad that Urth didn't sacrifice the quality of their food despite being in an extremely busy location like an airport. Great service; the cashier that rang me up was amicable, and also was kind to mention that there were two different types of matcha drinks. the one I almost ordered had an extra shot of caffeine, which I def didn't need so I'm glad she clarified before I made my final choice for my drink order. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. Urth caffe has mediocre pricing typically, but airport surcharge fees definitely raise it up an expensive notch. If I was desperate, and in need of an emergency caffeine pick-me-up, I would order again! Otherwise, I'd prob just wait til I was in OC/Chapman to get Urth Caffe at their regular price point. read more

Fast experience. Great coffee. Overpriced items, but that's expected for an airport. Would come again

Even with a limited menu (since it is in LAX), it still hit the mark! We ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and breakfast burrito. The chicken pesto sandwich was very flavorful and chicken was cooked perfectly. The breakfast burrito was the star of the show. As a meat lover, I didn't even notice that there wasn't any meat since their chipotle sauce is so tangy. The prices are high because it is located in the airport but it is a great place if you want fast, good food while waiting for a flight. read more

Landed in LAX and stopped at Urth. We got a couple of coffee drinks and would've gotten a sandwich except they ran out of the breakfast sandwich, the vegan sandwich, and the pesto chicken sandwich. A woman was very kind and when I asked for almond milk for my mom, she asked if we wanted it steamed (we did!). Plenty of seating! read more

My first time inside Terminal 1 at LAX I decided to have lunch at Urth Cafe & Bar. This is quite a popular cafe with a few locations across Los Angeles County. I was kind of surprised that they had one in the airport but I am glad they did because I was pretty hungry. I ordered their chicken soup which is pretty much chicken, broth, and vegetables there are no noodles inside. Also for a tuna sandwich and a matcha blended rising sun drink with almond milk. Says it has extra energy which I need and wanted to try out. It kind of tastes like there is chocolate mixed into it but not sure. Overall the food is delicious and the drink is much needed. Clean tables and plenty of seating if you want to hang out and enjoy a meal. read more

What a fun surprise seeing Urth Caffe at LAX. Everyone was attentive and kind. Yesenia R. especially took her time explaining the menu and options that we could order. She was happy and kind, and she added a nice touch to the beginning of our trip. Smoothie and Matcha drinks were delicious and fresh. Sandwiches were also fresh, had crunchy veggies, and was a yummy meal. Solid experience! read more

The barista who called out the drinks ignored me when I asked about my order. She walked by me after handing out a drink to another customer, ignored me when I asked her a question about my order, and started making another drink. I had to find another employee to verify that my drinks were ready for pick up and finally was able to go on my way. I understand that a bariata must make drinks, but you don't just put drinks on a counter, unlabeled, and walk off to make drinks without making any eye contact. Why does a customer need to wait around to find another employee to verify which of the drinks on the counter are their drinks to pick up and go? Even after the other employee told her, she kept her back turned and still kept making drinks... read more

Loved to find Urth Caffe & Bar at LAX! I wanted to stop at Urth before going to the airport but didn't want to miss my flight; luckily there's one here at the southwest terminal. I ordered a matcha latte, water and 3 cheese danishes to go. this is an express location so although you will not be able to find all of your favorite menu items, there is enough to satiate your cravings before, during or after your flight. great service and a few tables available while waiting for your flight. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4.5/5 (due to less options) drinks: 4.5/5 service: 5/5 urth caffe & bar: 4.5/5 read more

This is my go to coffee and breakfast spot anytime I'm flying out of terminal one at LAX! They boast about their heirloom coffees which are lovely and their pastries are as delicious as they are beautiful. I almost always get their Spanish Latte - a creamy, mild latte with just the right amount of sweetness. I also love their decorative blueberry danishes - textures and flavors are fantastic and again, not too sweet which I really appreciate. This last trip I tried their breakfast sandwich which comes with bacon, cheese and egg. It's served on a very nice bun - soft and savory and always nicely toasted. But it does have a bit of an odd aftertaste and I probably wouldn't get it again. It was just ok. Their lines are always long but they move fast. They have lots of seating in benches and at the coffee bar and the decor is chic and bright. Staff are efficient but not overly warm or friendly - but they are always frantic busy lol. Their prices are crazy high - but given that they're in the airport it's not a surprise. On my last visit they were only accepting cards and mobile pay methods - no cash - so be aware. read more

Item ordered: Gluten free mixed berry muffin Value: At around $5, price is not terrible Service: The servers are nice but overwhelmed The Review: There aren't many options in the DEN airport. Usually Urth caffe can accommodate dietary needs, like gluten free. At this location, there is a very limited menu and the only gluten-free item is this muffin. I can't speak to any of the other food. You have to wait a significant amount of time, so if you're rushing to a flight, you probably don't want to order anything here. read more

Over priced and so so good. Coffee is god though. Not my favorite place to have a bite to eat.

The Spanish latte was good but not sure if I'll order it again. It's not as memorable as other Spanish lattes I've tried in Miami.

Was excited to see an Urth Caffe at LAX. Last week's morning flight was the perfect time to pick up coffee and breakfast. Definitely not the same as the stand alone full restaurant locations. Cute decor though. Brightly lit, many delicious pastry options, modern wood slat designed seating. I loved the wall art that included a Leave a book, Take a book section. I would love to see that be utilized. Extremely limited menu. Was disappointed to not see the Japanese Matcha Latte on the menu or the Sunrise Pizza. I opted for a vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich. Both were decent. Staff was friendly. Order took a little long but I'm not complaining since there were quite a few people ahead of me. I would eat/drink here again (yes they have a bar as well). read more

Great espresso and drip coffee. Nice place to sit and relax as well. Service is quick. Rare to find a good coffee place in an airport.

Totally serviceable. Nothing more. It's $20 for a chicken salad sandwich that is completely edible. I recognize that overpaying somewhat, and ending up with just mediocrity, is actually in the upper tier of possible airport food results. Still, I don't have to like it. I'd probably recommend the Ace tacos in the food court just behind Urth instead if you're here in Terminal 1 and need to eat, but you could certainly do worse. read more

Located behind the TSA precheck at the Southwest departure terminal 1, this place looks nice and is adequately staffed. However, it's in an airport so you know this ish is expensive. A small bagel breakfast sandwich is about $18 (very tasty but barely any bacon--it's like Starbucks, they put it in the toaster oven). The sandwich is cheaper than the larger $15 breakfast burrito. It is what it is. The cappuccino is about $7. The free water is straight from the tap. Tastes like metal and has to spit it out. The water from the fountain next to the bathrooms tastes better, so save yourself the hassle. read more

I adore the matcha at Urth cafe. While a bit pricey, I think the quality of the matcha and coffee at the airport is such a godsend when you have time to spare at the Southwest terminal. I tried the Rising Sun Matcha Latte for the first time, and the blend of espresso + matcha was done so beautifully here. Urth also has quite nice seating at the airport, and the service was very quick when I went (though keep in mind there was no line). Lovely spot for a quick pick me up! read more

The food is a bit overpriced even for an airport, but they have a large seating area, which most airport cafes do not. The staff is usually friendly but not quite 4-star level friendly customer service (I would rate the customer service at 3.5 stars). They talk to one another a lot, and it can appear that the staff isn't paying attention to the customer. Food items that tasted delicious: Tiramisu, any fruit Danish. Food items to avoid: The burrito was reheated in the microwave, but the heat was not evenly distributed inside. Some parts may be cold, and the eggs were a little runny. Best coffee drinks: Chai latte, Vanilla iced coffee, or latte. Example of food prices: * $16 for a bowl of oatmeal and granola * $25 for a Panini sandwich read more

I went to the bar to order a drink and a bite to eat. First thing i noticed were all the little gnats flying around.. especially by the beer spouts. I asked my bartender for a French 75 and he didn't know what ingredients went into and also said they didn't have simple syrup. I just pivoted and ordered a wine instead but the gnats threw me off and made me not want to eat here lol. Keep an eye out if you decide to! read more

Urth Caffé is one of my favorite spots, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. DO NOT order the food here. It's all pre-made, low-quality, and absolutely nowhere near the standard of an actual Urth Caffé restaurant. The food is already overpriced--but I could live with that if it lived up to the usual Urth quality. It doesn't. This feels like a blatant money grab. The food was downright terrible, and I seriously regret spending a dime. I wish I could get a refund. Extremely disappointed. read more

GREAT CHEESECAKE AND AMAZING SERVICE! NOT BAD FOR AN AIRPORT RESTAURANT. Is it as good as URTH cafe in Los Angeles on Hewitt? No. Is it decent? YES. Would I come again? YES. Food: 4/5 The cheesecake is so thick, creamy, and not overly sweet. I usually get blueberry cheesecake from the other Urth cafe, and this one didn't taste like my favorite, but it was still better than good. The menu is very small, but I saw they have quiches, cheese and fruit danishes, and salads. They didn't hVe sandwiches but that could be because it was later in the day. Price: 3.5/5 The quiche was $17.00, orange juice 9.00, BUT the quiche is kinda was big. Would I get it? Probably not, lol. The cookies are 4.00 each, and pretty worth it. They're big and pretty good! It is airport prices, and in my opinion the cheesecake, cookies, and danishes are worth it! All around: 4.5/5 The food menu is very small, they don't have a huge drink menu either, but it's still worth going to! The service was outstanding from the 3 people there, and it was really clean! I'd you stop by, the cheesecake is delicious!!!! Also- calories do not count in the airport ;) read more

I have a nostalgic love for Urth Caffe and the LAX location always lures me in - despite the crazy airport prices. This is the only boba you can get in the terminal and it's not bad! The boba is gummy-like and somewhat firm. The sweetener they use reminds me of Stevia... but in a good way? Of their pastries, I recommend the fruit danishes! The berries are always so fresh and hit the spot. I like to give these to loved ones as a souvenir from LA. The English Tea Latte is very sweet, but I still enjoy it. Pretty good with boba. read more

Do not get the breakfast sandwich. It was just pretty gross and kind of just disappointing. First, they gave it to me cold and me paying $25 for subpar sandwich was absolutely not worth it. My husband liked his burrito, but $18 for three ingredients one of which being a sauce is absurd. The blueberry danish is pretty good... Honestly, I wish I would've just done Einstein Bros, or looked around for literally anything different. Area was clean. The service was fine, but I did have to wait a while bit to get any utensils, a bag, and ask them to warm my sandwich since it was cold when they gave it to me. Which they then laughed about and I don't know if on a typical day that would be annoying, but considering this was at 6:30 AM, it irritated me. TLDR: do not let the sleepy delusion of having a 7 AM flight were you to come and eat at this place, at least not for breakfast. read more

Earthy themed, very welcoming and visually appealing Caffé! Their Espresso Martini and Cheesecake we're the perfect treat before catching my flight.

Ordered a medium vanilla latte, I get charged for a large chai latte. I go and get my drink and ask and they say it's a chai I said no I ordered a med vanilla latte, the barista kindly goes and makes my drink again. The lady with the mask who took my order says to her coworker that I ordered the wrong thing but says it in Spanish. Lucky for her I speak Spanish and responded back to her. I get told it's only a few cents difference and don't even get the difference back. So basically was told who cares. I would never recommend this location to anyone. read more

Party of one around 7p on a Sunday so the place was pretty empty.

Rude and disrespectful! I was patiently waiting to be called to place an order I wasn't in a rush, but unfortunately the cashier saw me and after sometime just left the counter. I was in the line and no one else but the way I felt ignored my presence in the queue it was humiliating. I always come to this place, at orange at Laguna beach because of the good food and good customer service but if one location has bad customer service then its a big no (for me at least ) customer service is the key for any organization to grow and sustain in this competitive market. Not only this they delayed my order purposely because I told them that I was being ignored. read more
