This is a great place to meet friends for a quick bite or coffee. Nice ambiance, varied menu but average food. Food is 3.5 , but coffee , particularly the Spanish latte, is a 4.5. Coffee is way better than the food IMO. $25 for a coffee and grilled cheese sandwich is a lot, considering it costs a few dollars to make! But hey, we are paying for the atmosphere and experience!

Chocolate croissant, bread pudding, chocolate espresso scone, peach danish

I've been here three times in three days and haven't been disappointed once. The lattes, smoothies, matcha, and pastries continue to be of good quality. Very happy that there always seems to be pastries in the case no matter what time I stop by!

Cheers - best pistachio latte

On a rainy, gloomy day, I made my way over here for what else...COFFEE! I dropped my sis off to UCLA for an appointment then made my way over here for my favorite "Pistachio Latte." There was a short line but I waited patiently to get my fix...Extra Hot, No Foam, ofc...I wanted every sip to last. I also ordered a fresh cheese danish with fresh yummy blueberries. Plenty of tables inside and small tables on the very slender patio. You order at the counter, get a number, and they will bring your food/drink to your table. Very clean and this location is quite pretty. Reminded me of a cafe in Europe. *Street parking only ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

Went to Urth Caffé and had such a smooth experience--no line (which is rare), and the crowd was super nice. The vibe felt calm but still lively, which made it a really enjoyable stop. I ordered the grilled chicken pesto sandwich with an almond honey vanilla latte, and both were so good. The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the latte had the perfect balance of nutty and sweet without being overpowering. The menu is fun, the food hits, and the prices are actually decent for Santa Monica. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Roasted vegetables with pesto entree 1/2 order was categorically phenomenal! Divine! Transcendent!! Euphoric! Sublime!

Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad (Seasonal)
Jessenia R.

This was my first time visiting an Urth Caffé, there isn't one in the IE, and I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the burrata salad, which I'd never had before, but it sounded too good to pass up, and it did not disappoint. The balsamic vinaigrette was so flavorful that it balanced out any bitterness from the arugula, and the burrata itself was creamy and delicious. Just an overall really good salad. My husband finished his huevos rancheros burrito, and my cousin finished her Caprese sandwich, which says a lot, everything was really, really good. The ambience is very cool. There's some outdoor seating, and on a beautiful day it's perfect to sit on the patio. You order at the front and they bring the food out to you, so it's more of a cafe-style setup rather than a traditional sit-down restaurant, but it works really well here. Great food, great vibe, and a solid first experience. Five stars!

I've visited a few different Urth Caffé locations on separate occasions, and overall the experiences have been consistent. The food presentation is always beautiful and the ingredients taste fresh. I've tried the grilled sandwich with a side salad perfectly toasted bread, melted cheese, and jalapeños for a little kick. The mixed greens were crisp and lightly dressed. On another visit, I had the smoked salmon plate with tomatoes, red onions, capers, cream cheese, and a bagel. The salmon was fresh and the portion size was generous. I've also had scrambled eggs and other brunch items simple but well prepared. That said, this place is expensive. Considering the locations and the type of food they offer, it makes sense but it's definitely not a budget-friendly spot. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're on a tight budget or in a time crunch. It gets busy, especially during brunch hours, and you should expect to spend some time there. Overall, it's a lively café with fresh food and consistent quality, just be prepared for higher prices and a wait during peak hours. The staff at this location are very friendly.

Spicy sausage side
Elaine T.

The best coffee in Los Angeles and great food and dessert options. If you are looking in Santa Monica and looking for a healthy or hearty meal, urth is a solid choice. I've been going since they opened and know several of the staff by name. They always great everyone with a smile and even though it's fast casual (you order at the counter, then they bring everything to you) they aim to please. My favorites include waffle and oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch, I love all their soups, the farmer's salad served with the gorgeous nut and fruit bread, the tostada with grilled chicken, spinach tortilla quesadilla with veggies, and if I'm really hungry the pot roast sandwich served with an au jus on the side. I find their eggs either overcooked or undercooked, so I avoid them. I find their pizzas too bready. Desserts are excellent especially if you are hosting a party, get one of their cakes to go or a bunch of the single pastries. I love their flour less chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, cheese danish, and fruit tart, but you really can't go wrong with anything they offer. They have vegan options for desserts too!

Mocha and Bread Pudding
Jennifer G.

Love Urth Cafe. It's been a while since I've been. The mocha and bread pudding are still amazing. If you can get a seat, I recommend dining in, as the people watching is always amazing. This visit including watching a guy's day being totally made by a getting approached and asked out by a woman. Took him a few minutes to realize what was happening, but I'm pretty sure that he was happy for getting a cup of coffee that day. Even if you don't have a LA moment, their drinks and pastries will make your day.

Honey Vanilla Latté Medium and Aloha Matcha (Wazuka Matcha, organic blue spirulina, creamy coconut and refreshing strawberry purée)
Neisha H.

Updating with more photos! Absolutely love this place! The sweet potato pie was a decent size and tasted incredible. Original Review DELICIOUS!!! They use Organic Wazuka Matcha and dairy free milk. It's so smooth and silky! The latte was well made and also tasted great.

The lovely fire.
Sharon G.

On a recent visit. I was devastated not to have time for any of their delicious baked goods, which looked as incredible as always, but did get a chance to enjoy a coffee by the fireplace. It was fairly quiet and beautiful on a Tuesday morning in October.

Des D.

I always love coming to this Urth Caffé location! It can get pretty busy, but surprisingly there's usually not much of a wait. The service is always good, even when they're busy. Definitely my favorite location compared to the others!

Dean A.

Hang with the locals and enjoy a rooibois rumi latte or Spanish latte and homemade vegan oatmeal cookie or brownie with huge chunks of walnuts. Whenever we fly into LAX we make sure to make Urth one of our first stops.

Is it safe for people with celiac disease - complete gluten free?

Do they have Apple Pay?

They have mini Apple Pies that are delicious! As far as Apple Pay?....I doubt Apple will pay for your meal...but call them. Excellent staff.

Are Urth gift cards working yet? I received mine a month ago and I would like to redeem it, but Urth Main Street STILL cannot accept their own gift cards. Please fix!

To whom it may concern Hi my name is Alfredo I'm one of the managers at Urth Caffe and I want to apologize for the whole gift card situation. We are working very hard to fix…

Most of the seats are outside on the patio. I saw little dogs there with owners. Not sure if they let the dogs inside...if not- inside is just to order your meal you will be seating outside anyway.

I got my free birthday donut here (sign-up and add your birthday in the app) and I got the Celebration Cake donut. The donut was sweet with a crispy glazed exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. It was also still slightly warm which I liked since it gave me the impression that this was freshly made. It did get a bit too sweet for me towards finishing the donut, so eating half at a time is honestly good enough. This is more of a grab-n-go type of spot, but I think they have some outdoor seating in front of the store. There's also parking which Sidecar can validate. I would highly recommend this chain and it's one of my spots I take visitors to. Also, if you download the app you can get a free drink and donut for your first time :)

Sidecar is supposed to be very special donuts and they do have a unique selection of donuts, but…read moreit not for me. I found their donuts to be stale and no fancy type is going to correct that. The place is super cute and very clean. The staff is fine, nothing to write home about. They really don't see too interested in the customers. But they are okay. Parking is pretty easy. What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good. I have a friend who wanted to try them so we went back and I still found them stale tasting, but great coffee.

Honestly, I could've just gotten the tart and been happy with it but that nice hint of honey was very good. The toppings were also incredible and even though there was a line it moved very quickly. It was very nice on a hot day at the beach. I can't wait for one to be built in Atlanta.

My family and I had just finished a fantastic dinner at Beluga Sushi in playa del ray (check out my…read moreexcellent review for Beluga) and wanted something sweet afterward. My wife suggested Go Greek Yogurt in Santa Monica so we decided to give it a try. At first glance, it looked like your typical self-serve yogurt shop. Nothing particularly special, with about six flavors to choose from. When I asked the young man behind the counter if I could sample two flavors before deciding, he looked at me like I had asked an outrageous question and replied, "We don't do that." I explained that we were planning to purchase four yogurts and simply wanted a little help deciding. His response? A shrug. Great customer service! We decided to give four flavors a shot: Greek honey, chocolate, and two others I honestly can't remember. We were still pretty full from dinner, so everyone took small portions before heading over to the equally underwhelming toppings bar. A little granola, and we were ready to check out. The damage? $42! For four small servings of yogurt. The Greek honey was decent, but the other three flavors were disappointing enough that we eventually threw them in the trash. The chocolate, in particular, had a strange chemical aftertaste. Between the mediocre yogurt, lackluster selection, underwhelming toppings, dismissive service, and outrageous price, this place was a major disappointment. Bottom line: $42 for four small yogurts, three of which we couldn't even finish. I can't recommend Go Greek Yogurt, and we definitely won't be back. Santa Monica has plenty of better ways to spend your money on dessert.

All the staff were very warm and inviting. Our server, Antonio, was amazing. He was friendly, thoughtful, and attentive. We came for the brunch. There was a decent variety of options to choose from. The food was well seasoned. My favorites were the ribeye steak & the fried shrimp. I liked the fact that there was a crepe & omelette station, which was made to order. I ordered a crepe with strawberries, bananas, & nutella. I did not care for the bananas being inside all alone, I wish they would've added strawberries & nutella inside also. Just a personal preference though. The DJ was pretty good, & the songs were relatively upbeat. There were a couple of Afro-beat songs that came & the percussionist came out and played along, which was my favorite part. I wish he would've played more songs to get the crowd really moving. Maybe it was still a bit early. Overall I enjoyed my time here. I would gladly go back.

The restaurant itself is super relaxing and had a nice ambiance. To start, I asked the waitress to bring me a fruity cocktail and what she handed me was delicious. I totally forgot to snag the name, but it was refreshing and yummy. For food, my aunts ordered EVERYTHING! we are a vegetable loving family and definitely got lots of yum yum that reflected that: ratatouille, salad, mushrooms, calamari, mashed potatoes, broccoli, salmon flatbread, and so much more. Everything was so flavorful! I really enjoyed every dish we got! If I had to choose some absolute favorites it would be the salad and the ratatouille! Both were incredible ( along with everything else). Finished the meal off with the pear dessert and a glass of port. Yummy! Great meal with family!
