    There aren't very many grocery spots in this part of the downtown area so having one here is nice…read more This one is nice because it has a prepared section and grab and go, along with organic produce. They have a lot of similar Erewhon-style items in their prepared food section. The place is smaller but for the area it's sufficient. Their prices are probably in between Whole Foods and Erewhon. Convenient place for those in the area, or stopping by. Prices: $3-$25 Parking: free lot or street parking Dietary: lots of vegan or vegetarian prepared items, smoothie and juice bar, grab and go Seating: they have a seating area

    Love this neighborhood gem and visit almost daily. The produce is always fresh and a great value…read more The hot deli bar is incredible and the salads are delicious, the tofu sticks are my go to (seriously, try them). The juice bar and made to order smoothies are perfect for a quick, satisfying grab and go. They also have an impressive selection of canned and bottled drinks. There's seating inside and a large patio if you want to eat there. Lunch gets busy during the week and is quieter on weekends. Shoutout to Gabe, the grill master will cook you an amazing steak or the best vegan tacos you've ever had. The entire Hank's team including the owner, is friendly and has always made me feel very welcomed and they go out of their way to help me. It's so nice to have them in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

    This was my first time at the Urth Caffé in downtown LA…read more I live not too far from the location Pasadena but since we were in downtown, we decided to stop in and give them a try here. We got extremely lucky and found some street parking about a block away and then we were able to walk and then get in line and order our food. I ended up getting a Panini and then an iced latte. I love how this building looks very historical and I'm not sure what it used to be, but it was cool vibes inside. The workers are extremely nice. And the food probably even taste a little bit better than the Pasadena location that I go to fairly often. The only thing that's all but tricky is the parking I think this time around our were extremely lucky. They have an additional dining area where you can get access to pass the restrooms. There's also a couple of tables outside if you prefer to be outdoors. Lots of great things that are going on here.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: It's crowded for a reason…read more A friend and I were in the area and decided to stop here for lunch. I hadn't been here in years (15, in fact, which was when my last review went up), but the line was very familiar. We shared: - Urth Farmer's Salad - Full Tuna sandwich (came with side salad which was quite sizable) Everything was super-fresh and generously portioned. More than enough for two people. If we'd known the sandwich came with a side salad we probably wouldn't have ordered a whole 'nother salad, but the farmers market salad was so good I'm glad we did! I also got an iced latte, which really hit the spot. The friendly and efficient staff expertly handled the crowds, which was sizable. We were hoping for a seat out on the patio since it was a nice day, but seating was limited so we sat at one of the small tables inside by the fireplace. It was just ok, but we had a nice time nonetheless.

    I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

    Positives first: the ambiance is lovely, nice patio and plenty of space. We were seated quickly for…read moreour brunch reservation. The menu is big, though pricey!! I got an omelette and it was fresh and light, but very small for the price and no bread included. Now for the rest, the service was appalling. Food came out quickly but after that we were barely checked on. We had to ask several times for things that we ordered and had to flag down the waitress to order a second drink and they took forever. We could understand that it was busy but the waitress never apologized or said anything like they were understaffed or anything. Also, we had a few questions about the menu and our drinks and the waitress would just say, "I think so?" or give a vague answer. She didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu at all. Maybe she was new, but clearly training was lacking. I don't think I'll be returning but since I see many reviews relating to service issues, hopefully management is able to address the deficit
