I got a vanilla latte and it was great loved the tables outside facing the street. It was a quiet afternoon in which I enjoyed sipping my coffee. Definitely a cute little spot to check out when in the area. read more

Urartu Coffee - Vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

Delicious coffee, yummy food, beautiful ambience on top of fast service. It has nice seating area both inside and outside, played enjoyable calm music at the background. If you are a book savvy that enjoy reading a few pages while enjoying your coffee, they offer a nice selection of classic reads. J read more

The reviews are right... this place is okay. Nothing special just okay coffee drinks and the food isn't worth it. I've been here twice and I'm a HUGE lox bagel girly. There's either barely any salmon, don't toast the bagel, cut the bagel as bad as I job as I do at home and it's just not their expertise. Drinks okay. There's other places around this area if you're looking for both good drinks and food! read more

The best coffee shop in town!!! This is always my go to coffee spot when I am in Glendale. The service, people, and coffee are all amazing! Highly recommend to everyone :) A few of my favorite drinks are the Banana Oat latte and Honey Oat latte!! read more

Simple, straight forword, nicely brewed coffee with great staff. This is a cozy shop, if I had more time I would've loved to sit longer on my first visit but alas I must return. I ordered the iced honey oat latte - not too sweet, balanced with the coffee, and refreshing. read more

Cute little cafe located fairly close to Glendale Galleria. Per another Yelper's suggestion, my friends and I parked at Glendale Galleria (for free!) and walked 5-7 minutes over to Urartu. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and honey for sweetness. Taste-wise it was definitely on the lighter/milkier side, however I still got notes of matcha in every sip. My friends got the mango smoothie and the horchata latte - both were pretty tasty! I came here to get some remote work done and appreciated how much seating they had a available (Friday afternoon) and the accessibility of outlets. I did have some trouble staying connected to the wifi near the end of my time there, but I went ahead and just hot-spotted it. Overall, a nice and cozy cafe with friendly workers and good drinks. read more

I had a simple iced coffee w vanilla and it was very good. I could tell the guy working the front (assuming the manager) was connected to his community, just from seeing his interactions with many customers. Nice place to sit n write. read more

Good strong coffee with great staff. Family owned, always walked by without noticing as it's lowkey. Nice interior / decorative ambience as well. Armenian themed, with "Urartu" being ancient Armenian roots in the area I'd come back here when in the area, despite there being other great coffee in Glendale read more

The good: This coffee shop is located in a perfect location! It is on a beautiful downtown street with outdoor tables, a giant Christmas tree, lights and festive garland wrapping the street lamps. I tried the "twist" coffee drink hot. It was mocha with espresso and caramel. I thought the name twist would indicate a more interesting flavor combination but I was okay with the classic flavor combination. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and that a puddle of syrup didn't develop at the bottom even after I let it sit for an hour (due to being outside and not wanting to take my mask off until I got into the car). Some mochas or caramel drinks definitely have sediment toward the end of the cup so I was pleasantly surprised that this one didn't. Outside of coffee, they sell cookies, pastries and Fanta in glass bottles (among other things). The bad: There is minimal street parking. There are public parking garages that are free for the first 90 minutes. The interesting: I was intrigued by the name of the coffee shop and didn't know its origins. Ignorant me saw the tan/orange wall texture and coffee sleeves art of a barefoot man in a tunic with wings thought it was Egyptian. Turns out, it's an ancient region that spanned ancient Armenia. The interior of the shop has furniture that you'd imagine would be in the living room of your auntie or uncle. It made it feel homier. read more

I had a really nice time drinking coffee and tea with my mom this afternoon. We sat in the public spaces outside and they kindly served our order to us. The hibiscus iced tea was delicious! I would highly recommend. It's a hint of sweetness with a bold tarty flavor. Their nazooks were also really yummy, it was kind of them to warm them up. read more

Urartu Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

The last couple of times I've came to study and enjoy the cozy ambience, there is a crowd of Armenian grandpas who imperialize the coffee shop and leave no room for people to study, to make it worse they don't even buy anything and are quite rude, I'm Armenian and my grandpa is insufferable enough, I don't need it outside the family gatherings! However The soorj is very good and authentic. Edit: if that's so, then please inform your other regular customers that stealing chairs from other patrons as they use they use the restroom and talking obnoxiously loud over the music is quite rude to other people who support your business. read more

Best cappuccino in town. Parking is ample in the structure right next-door. Near the Americana on the street that is partially blocked off. One block from the Central Library. Nice shaded outside patio. I've had the cappuccino here several times, and each time it is perfect. Great relaxing coffee experience. Well recommended, we will return. read more

Cute cafe & cute decoration inside! There's a guy and I think he is a manager or a owner. He is very sweet and kind to us! He gestured us to make sure we get the correct orders. Very fast service! They have chairs & tables and plus outside, too. My boyfriend & I ordered Avocado toasts& Hot chai latte to share since that time was almost brunch time. It was really good & light! He checked on us to make sure we are good and okay with the food/drink. Recommend go there for good cafe and it had good wifi too! There's a garage structure near by; its 90 mins free and they have kiosk machine where you can pay your parking ticket if your time is over 90 mins. read more

This was my first time and I will most definitely be coming back. The sitting areas are comfy and non-corporate, the very opposite of most places. Coffee was tasty and the staff was very friendly. I didn't eat, but everything they were cooking smelled great, so I'll try food the next time. Totally recommend your stopping in. read more

I really don't know where to begin. I'm so grateful that wholesome, quality, and family-run places like this exist in a world where more and more coffee shops are nothing more than cookie-cutter corporate chains. This place is a must try, and my new favorite spot in Glendale! We were immediately greeted by Youra and his siblings, who created a warm and inviting experience for us. We learned that Youra's family had been running this shop for over 20 years - he had taken things over from his dad relatively recently. I could feel his excitement and energy for making this place incredible, and could tell he really loves what he does. Even though this place has been here for decades, everything was updated and extremely clean with a beautiful ambiance. I could totally get work done here for hours on end. Try the "Soorj," which is an Armenian coffee. Very strong, and well crafted! read more

Chill location and friendly staff. There is in door and out door seating. They have a small chess table game while you wait for your order. Freshly squeezed orange juice!! Not sour and very sweet. Got the "Lox" salmon bagel! Not a very heavy meal to start the day and it's something worth trying! There is a few selection for the choice of bagel, but I recommend the "everything bagel". Comes with diced onion, cucumber, salmon, tomato, and cream cheese stacked together. I really appreciate that they cut in half for you without needing to request for it! Would visit here again to try their coffee and other menu options. read more

I came down to try this place since Channel 4 news was paying. Gross!! I got a cup of plain black drip...it was so strong. I tossed it in the garbage and went to Starbucks on my way home. Thank you Channel 4 news for the fun gift bag and mug. Hope you pick a better place next time! read more

Its my first time to come here and I am so satisfied with my coffee, friendly service, the place feels like mediterranean.

Really nice place to just chill, relax, or catch up with a friend. I had their banana oat latte and lox on everything bagel and they were both good. I would definitely be coming back for the banana oat latte! read more

I enjoy the lox bagel from time to time with a coffee. Their breakfast items and sandwiches are also very fresh and well made. The service is fantastic. This is the type of place that respects their customers and treats them like family. The fact that they remember my name (and I rarely go here) goes a long way and earns my continued support. I always look forward to going here. Thanks for all the hospitality. read more

So good! Lots of seating. Staff was so nice. Coffee was very very good and the pastries looked amazing. The bathrooms were also very clean. It seems like lots of ppl go there to work but also saw people just chatting. Very lovely! read more

Great coffee and food, very friendly service and vibey, chill atmosphere. I go here almost every morning before I go to work and the owners/staff always greet me with a smile, making a happy start to the work day. 100% recommend to support this family owned business! read more

I was in Glendale for the day and decided to find a new coffee shop on Yelp and of course, having never tried Urartu before, I knew exactly where I was going. The staff is is very welcoming! They even went over the menu with me and recommended the best items which I appreciate. I got the Milkiwayz Bagel and a Honey Oat Latte. The bagel was flavorful and the coffee was SO smooth and rich. I will definitely be back!! read more

I'm visiting my family in LA, and my sister took me this morning to this quaint little cafe in Glendale, short walking distance from her apartment. She was raving about how nice the owners are, and highly recommended getting their banana Nutella croissant. I said, "Giiiiiirl, you had me at Nutella and croissant!" So I ordered that and a mocha, and I gotta say, it was a match made in heaven! Pro tip: have a sip of the mocha after every bite of the croissant! My sister was also right about the owners; they're awesome! Super friendly and personable and you can tell they really care about their customers. The interior is cute too. They also display artwork from local artists, which is pretty cool. read more

Urartu Coffee - Banana nutella croissant + mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

One of my favorite local places. It's a family run coffee shop. But they make fresh croissants every day which are amazing. They have a fantastic breakfast sandwich on croissant which I crave often. The coffee is fantastic. The service is fantastic and the food is fantastic. It's got a warm cozy vibe on the inside which seats about 12 people and there is plenty of seating outside in the courtyard. read more

Overpriced food not good. The only thing is you can sear and work in comfortable chairs

This place is located in Glendale, it's kinda hidden but it's fantastic. The ambience is calm and quiet, people mostly go there to study usually, have meetings, etc. the service was fairly fast, and the nice women that took our order was very sweet and considerate. It appears to be a maybe family owned, but it gave greek style vibes, still pretty cool. The food is more on the pricey side, but if you honestly need a place to study and get things done as far as work, this is a nice sophisticated little cafe . read more

Let me just say wow. So friendly, amazing coffee and incredible veggie omelet in a croissant. Such a hidden gem. Highly recommend. read more

3/10 would not go again, extremely expensive and not great food, our order was more than 30 dollars and all we got were a chai latte, green tea, oatmeal and waffle, the oatmeal was bland and plain didnt come with cream or anything and it was like 7 dollars, everything else was alright but i think we had to pay like 5 dollars for a plain tea :/ service was alright and the area seemed okay, they have games there too but very little and the inside seemed a bit unorganized. read more

Staff is incredibly kind and there is plenty of seating. Free parking is a huge perk and the drinks I've ordered were all delicious. Highly recommend the chai read more

Adorable shop in a very nice location ! Found this placing driving by and looking on Yelp for a good place to have breakfast and saw they had great reviews, so I had to stop by and try it out ! The place is well designed but quite small.. When we ordered our food (a bagel and a waffle) the place wasn't too busy.. We sat down (a down side for the place being small the tables are a bit too close to each other in my opinion) My biggest reason I didn't give a 5 star review is because of the wait time .. We waited about 45 minutes until the food came and honestly I usually don't mind the wait when a place is very busy, but it just didn't seem there was a good enough reason for the food to take so long. Overall the food was AMAZING and the people who worked there were super nice! read more

Me and my wife had the "old Armenian coffee" (aka "sourj") with some sweet gatha. Very nice and cozy place with great people working there (they were kind to give us an additional gatha as a gesture of hospitality). I really don't see how other coffee places (especially Starbucks with their burnt coffee beans) can compete with these guys. If you're ever in the center of Glendale, I think you should go here. read more

Very cute place with lots of places to sit inside and outside; have a lot of unique flavors that you wouldn't see at other cafes and service was great! read more

My partner and I came here after a delicious lunch and needed a pick me up to prevent imminent food coma. The lady who helped us was professional and gave us a fairly good description of what all the coffees were. My partner got the mocha, and he thought it was one of the best mochas he's ever had. He was very (pleasantly) surprised and said that it seemed the barista made mocha the "right" traditional way--aka pouring espresso into real chocolate and making a mocha from that instead of powder mixes. The mocha was creamier than most places with a velvety texture, and had a slight caramel taste. It was too sweet for me, but I don't have a sweet tooth and my partner loved it just fine. I got the Yama cold brew even though I'm usually very picky with mine (I find most cold brews too acidic), but this was the smoothest, mellowest cold brew I've ever experienced without being a nitro. It had a very unique flavor to it (definitely no Starbucks) and was very pleasant to drink. I cannot wait to be back next time to try the Soorj, and I know my partner is on board for another mocha, so you bet we will be back soon! read more

I didn't know what to get so I asked the nice girl working and she recommended a caramel type of coffee and honestly I was amazed by how good the coffee was. And I'm a coffee SNOB. Wow. High quality beans. High quality ingredients. The coffee was rich. Honestly forget all the other coffee shops this is where it's at. In addition to the great coffee, the owner was so incredibly nice. I forgot my parking ticket and she literally WALKED it over to my car at the gate/pay station. 10/10 coffee and 10/10 service. read more
