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!

Hanna P.

Pretty short line and lots of tables available for Sunday brunch! Food was really good, Spanish latte is always so good. I got the huevos rancheros burrito and it was very filling. The banana oatmeal was reeeeeaaaallly impressive. The banana syrup was perfectly sweet. Love sitting outdoors too!

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

You have to ask for gluten free bread when ordering. There’s also oatmeal, yogurts and omelettes. That’s about all the gluten free they have.

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.

We were lucky enough to find a metered street spot directly in front of the restaurant and did not have to wait long at all for our Saturday morning brunch for a table of two.

It was a really sweet treat and I enjoyed it. For my breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict with the Sujuk sausage and added avocado and croissant.

We agreed to outside patio seating at tall seats which is more than fine. but we were sat at a shared table with a family which is fine when you have context that you are doing so, but i spent the beginning of the morning listening to two different children play of their phones blasting the sound. additionally both the seats we were in were directly in the sun which for me is fine but my bf burns very easily. but okay fine, it is what it is. We politely waited until the table next to us emptied, and then told the waitress we would like to move because the sun. She said we would need to wait and she would need to check. And then came back and told us they were too busy. We watched the seat we wanted to sit in be empty until we asked for boxes for our food. We watched another table stay empty until we left. The waitress never introduced herself either. Additionally, no one checked up on us during the entire meal. Usually any sit down restaurant would ask how your meal is. No one did. we weren't even given silverware when our meals arrived. we had to go get them ourselves. We had to ask for boxes after sitting and waiting for anyone to check in. We separately had to call out to the oblivious waitress to even pay, as she was standing out there just looking around. The food was great, like i wish we would have had cash to tip the cooks themselves bc the food was really good. But Ive attached photos of the food (great!) and photos of the many empty tables that made them sooo busy they cldnt accommodate the paying costumers that already ordered. my boyfriend and I have both worked in the service industry before. But i would just say that they had horrible service which can ruin a perfectly good meal. I hope if the owner is the one I met at the door, he considers getting new waitresses .

I used to go to the location on Montana back in the day, and this is my first time visiting their downtown SM location!

The waiter was also extremely accommodating of my many allergies and would often ask the kitchen if the items I ordered were free from my allergens or modified it too!

A little on the watery side. Chicken bites came out in about 15 minutes. The coating had a very satisfying crunch, very saucy, but fell off the chicken easily and was a bit salty. This is a messy dish for sure. You will get your hands dirty! Chorizo Benedict came out about 30 minutes after order. Not great honestly. Portion size was generous. The eggs were poached decently, still runny, but the chorizo itself was bland and rather dry. The potatoes were room temperature. The bread a bit too chewy. Not AT ALL spicy. Super light on the pico de gallo. The service was rather slow for not being very busy. They didn't appear to be understaffed either. The location itself is cozy and not too loud, which is nice! Short walk from down town. The staff was kind, but boy were they slow. From being seated to paying for my meal was well over an hour! Automatic 2.5% "service fee" total was $46.50 before tip. I don't think I'll be returning unfortunately. The search for a good Benedict in LA area continues!

Sitting on the outdoor patio gives you an interrupted view of the pool; sitting in the covered patio makes you feel like you're in a plant-filled bistro, and sitting by the bar allows for more sociability. They have the best Spritz in town, though I swap aperol with elderflower. A good caesar salad is a marker of a quality restaurant and theirs is my absolute favorite. The lettuce is fresh, portion is big, and they shave the breadcrumbs so you're not gnawing on a giant crouton. The scallops are one of the best things on the menu, as they come in a flavorful sauce and beautiful presentation. The agnolotti is the best pasta -- it's handmade, smells divine, and achieves the perfect caviar-cream-Parmesan bite. The service is attentive and helpful, offering the best menu recs and ensuring we order everything we want within the discounted hour. You can't beat the poolside California indoor-outdoor living, and the ambience is off the charts.

My sister and I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap to share for about $23 and ended up waiting over 45 minutes. When we checked in around the 30-minute mark, we were finally told the kitchen had run out of lettuce and someone had gone to Whole Foods to get more. That should have been communicated when we ordered, or at least once they realized there would be a delay. They offered us a complimentary pastry, which we appreciated, but we still waited another 10-15 minutes before the wrap arrived. Unfortunately, the wrap wasn't worth the wait or the price. It was served in a to-go box despite us saying we were dining in, the wrap was falling apart, the chicken was tough and dry, and the Caesar dressing was underwhelming. Running out of an ingredient happens, but the lack of communication followed by disappointing food made this a frustrating experience. I'd consider returning for coffee, but I wouldn't spend $23 on this wrap again.
