The Urth Cafe in Santa Monica is less crowded than the one in W Hollywood, which is good, but as a tea drinker I was very disappointed. They serve black tea in a French press with a small and inadequate amount of loose tea. Instead of bring it right out to you, they keep the tea to steep it in the back and bring it out with the press pushed down about 7 minutes later. If you complain that the tea is not dark enough, or hot enough, they will tell you to steep it more. This has happened to me about 3 times before I quit ordering tea there and started bring my cup of Peet's great tea over there to meet my friend. Even if you order something to eat, like a muffin, they will ask you to leave the restaurant with you cup of competitor's tea. I think they are very rude.
Pros: Good Location
Cons: Bad Tea
