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...

Evidence of Heaven - entre grilled vegetables with pesto salad 1/2 order!!
Adrian C.

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

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.

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.

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!

I like their bar setup atmosphere with plenty of natural light. I came mid afternoon to try some of their refreshing cold coffee drinks. I got a Cold Brew. And it was refreshing and thirst quencher especially on a very warm day. Some drinks are overly priced. Interior decor was very aesthetic, spacious and imbues an Hawaiian vibe. Their male staff was attentive and professional. Street parking only. Overall, it was an interesting coffee shop that I have been to; I had a good experience and cold coffee drink.
