Editorial Review for Urth Caffe – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
A white picket fence surrounds health-conscious Westsiders as soft world music serenades at almost the same volume as their low-key chatter. Lines often spill over onto the jam-packed front patio, but once inside, glass displays reveal giant cookies, sticky buns and a full menu of soups, salads and entrees--including many vegetarian and vegan options. Customers order at the counter and then wait for delivery by servers who move seamlessly through the cafe's hectic mix.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoBreakfast is served only until 1pm weekdays, and until 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Where to SitThe lower patio offers privacy and a people-watching vantage point. When it's chilly, the fireside seats in back of the L-shaped coffeehouse are prime.
What to DrinkCoffee connoisseurs rave about the signature soy lattes. But Urth also offers more than 100 varieties of certified-organic whole-bean coffees and loose teas, by the cup and in bulk.

Located right in the center of the popular Beverly Blvd restaurant strip between Wilshire and Olympic boulevards, this cafe serves up DELICIOUS, fresh and organic sandwiches and salads. Their plentiful and rich dessert options are just as satisfying, particularly their graham-cracker crust pumpkin pie. And their Spanish latte with honey is one of my favorite coffee drinks ever! Parking is cheap; free until 6pm at the garage nearly across the street and only $2-ish afterwards. The negatives: It can often be hard to get a seat, and the homeless sometimes approach you to ask for money if you’re sitting outside closer to the street. However, equally is likely at this location is that you’ll spot a celebrity.
Pros: food, coffee, dessert, parking
Cons: lack of seating

Great place to sip aromatic coffee whie enjoying the outdoor patio or cozy fireplace inside. It's in easy walking distance from where I live and some cute shops so I've worked my way through a considerable portion of the menu - oatmeal , omelettes, and paninis are nothing to write home about; salads, soups, and sweets (particularly their hazelnut chocolate croissant and decadent, warm bread pudding with baked apple or banana on top) are worthwhile. Service is generally friendly and helpful, though there is sometimes a gentleman controlling the flow of the tables outside who can be a bit abbrasive.
Pros: Excellent coffee, outdoor seating and indoor fireplace, organic + healthy options
Cons: Guy who conducts the flow of outdoor seating on busy days can be a bit rough
