    Located in Playhouse Village is Urth Caffe. On a busy weekend, it is still a lovely place to be. I ordered the vegan panini, vegan pumpkin pie, and the Urth energizer. They offer gluten free bread for the panini, but was sold out for the day. The pumpkin pie crust was gluten free and delicious. The Urth energizer had beets, pineapple, and ginger. You can taste the urth, I mean earth. Customer service was lovely, even on a busy weekend. The restrooms were clean and tidy. Over the years I've grown to love restaurants with shaded outdoor seating. The noise was a little loud from the busy street and the background music also. If you're in the area it is a nice place to visit; it is also close to the Pasadena playhouse, gyms, and other health conscious restaurants. Looking for a nice place for a spot of lunch? Looks like you've found it! "A recipe is a story that ends with a good meal"

    What is your favorite Urth Caffe dish? I know I'm a minority here. This place is overhyped and expensive for no reason. Avocado toast, Greek yogurt with granola (not assembled but on side) and an almond croissant set you back! $40-$50. The ambiance was beautiful and homemade feeling of bread and its creations was there. Situated in the heart of Pasadena is worth a visit but definitely not a reoccurring experience.

    This place is right across street from where we stayed and highly recommended by the staff. The food we ordered were all very delicious. We got half of the Urth salad, Benedict Salmone, and a piece of carrot cake. For drinks, we got a Spanish Latte and a Americano. You order from the counter then the food is delivered to the table. The restaurant is constantly busy. I understand why, so good! They do charge a 6% service fee.

    If you're planning on dining in on a weekend, be prepared for a bit of a wait. Thankfully, they had two cashiers working to help move the line along. I also liked that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. After ordering, they give you a table number and bring the food directly to you. Amazon Smoothie: $10.99. Definitely on the pricier side, but the portion was generous and served in a tall glass filled to the top. I really enjoyed this since it tasted similar to an acai bowl without the icy texture. It was also topped with small mango bits, which was a nice touch. Sunrise Pizza: Unfortunately, this didn't live up to my expectations. The crust was pretty hard, and overall the pizza tasted a bit bland. I appreciate their focus on organic and locally sourced ingredients, and the space itself was nice, but the higher prices, long wait time, and underwhelming food would probably keep me from returning.

    Eggs Verde

    I absolutely love coming here. I feel lucky when the lines short. As I waited in line I browsed their loose tea and grabbed a jar of Moroccan mint. I love that you can see desserts while you wait to order. My favorite is napoleon cake. This time I ordered: Eggs verde The mushroom omelette Iced Spanish latte Coffee of the day Food is consistent and the vibes always there. Portion is huge for me and you can always get a box for to go afterward.

    Spanish latte
    Wendy T.

    I hate American sandwiches but LOVE their curry chicken pita sandwich with avocado cut in half YUM! Savory sweet and the avocado adds creamyness! Spanish hot latte was very good too with half sugar. Napoleon was good and would want to try the breakfast pizza with egg and sausage next time. Felt clean and healthy after that and the avocado was generous.

    Urth is a true Pasadena staple with beautiful architecture that makes for a great atmosphere. The menu is incredibly abundant and you really get your money's worth with their generous portions and fair prices. I tried the Spanish latte, which was good, though I personally think it could have been a bit stronger. For food, the Eggs Salmone is a must. It's just yummy, especially with those perfect runny yolks. While it definitely gets busy on the weekends, the line moves quickly so you aren't waiting forever. Plus having plenty of parking in the back makes the whole experience way less stressful. It's a solid go-to spot :)

    First time visiting and I can see why it's so popular! They have just about every breakfast, brunch and lunch food items your heart desires! It was so hard choosing but we sat down with the Vegan Portobello Panini and Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich, both so yummy! The service was fast considering the long line, but they served the food fast. The ambiance was an absolute delight! They had PLENTY of tables throughout the restaurant. Inside, outside in their adorable patio and toward the back. It would be impossible to not get an available table. One thing too, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place! They have amazing looking muffins, cakes and shakes!

    The Italian Omelet
    Kevin T.

    Had this cafe in my list for a long time and I was able to take my wife here on Valentines Day. We arrived around 10 AM and there was already a line outside the cafe. This cafe is a order then find a seat type cafe and to be honest, I kind of like it. We waited around 30 minutes before it was our turn to place our order. The vibe here is quite nice as well, outdoor seating is spacious and all around, while inside is a bit cramped seating wise. The ceiling is quite tall so occasionally, you'll find yourself looking up to see the decorations, quite the brunch vibe overall. Parking here is a bit non existent? You either park on the street or you find a paid parking lot, pretty standard around Pasadena. The menu here is extensive, which ironically is good in a way that the line is long...sorta. However, my wife and I already decided beforehand what we wanted to order. --WHAT WE ORDERED-- -- Prosciutto & Cheese Breakfast Panini -- ($14.95) One of their featured menu items, this panini is one of the most decorated around. The presentation is spectacular, making it a amazing dish for a perfect picture. Onto the dish itself, it's quite flavorful. Usually with panini, everything falls apart if not made well, but this one is quite steady. Each bite was delicious in its own way, and not one bite left out any flavor from the ingredients inside, very well balanced. It's filled with eggs, peppers, mozzarella cheese, and some prosciutto di parma which is Italian ham, very well made, and highly recommend. -- The Italian Omelet -- ($17.50) I'm a sucker for omelet dishes and this is no different. I find myself with another amazingly presented dish, although it's just a omelet, this one is filled with chicken basil sausages which is different from your usual taste of sausages. Combined with roasted peppers, tomatoes, fresh basil and some mozzarella cheese, it was quite the taste. You have the spikey flavor of the chicken sausages as well as the melting taste of the eggs, it was amazing. I would get this dish again the next time I visit because it was so delicious. 10/10 -- Famous Pecan Sticky Bun -- ($6.50) Well, I'd be amazed but this dessert dish is one I would call, ADDICTING. Sweet, sticky, crunchy, and texture is great. Although it's a sweet dish, it's not too overwhelming and sweet. I believe the pecan balances the taste very well to not make it entirely too sweet. A perfect sweet chewy treat after your main entrees. 9/10 Overall, a wonderful brunch spot, although it's quite busy more often then not, the vibes are great especially on a day where it's not too cold nor too hot. Service here isn't really anything special since they don't check on you for anything. It's more of a cafe where people just hangout, eat, and even see some people on their laptops here. However, staff here is quite fast as they walk around looking for number stands to provide you with your order if you decide to dine in. Definitely will be back again to try other menu items as their menu is extensively big.

    Rising Sun Matcha Latté™ Small
    Pooja M.

    Went here with a friend- she got the monkey granita with espresso but there were so many options. For people who like the banana taste, this is the one to get. I got the rising sun matcha latte which was soooo pretty and yummy. It has matcha and espresso so it's a light caffeine boost. There are a lot of places to sit, and the waiters will find you anywhere! It's a large space and the outside has lights. Although, we saw a rat running around under the tables and it came from the bushes outside which was discomforting. I didn't see it go inside, it went back into the bushes or wherever.

    Huevos rancheros pizza was mediocre
    Christy C.

    I feel so bummed to have to update my previous good review to a bad one since this has been one of my favorite brunch spots for many years. I ordered UberEats and it took an hour to arrive (which wasn't a big deal since it's raining). I ordered a Strawberry Matcha ($9.89) and it was the and most disappointing and expensive strawberry matcha I've ever had. There was zero matcha flavor and it literally tasted like a strawberry jam drink. Definitely don't recommend! The Huevos Rancheros Pizza ($19.29) was very dry and cold. I requested the eggs to be poached and I received a well done hard boiled egg. I've ordered this plenty of times (take-out and at the restaurant) and I've never had this happen before. The quality has definitely gone downhill and they obviously didn't follow my instructions. Overall, I was extremely disappointed in my drink and my pizza so I most likely won't return or recommend unfortunately.

    Organic Green Tea Boba - Blended - $4.95
    Tu-Anh N.

    WHEN: Thu @6pm A great spot to work out of because they open late and have plenty of seating inside and out. Sure there are no outlets nor wi-fi, but it's not the end of the world. The set up is that you order at the counter first, and if it's a to-go item, you wait outside in the back for them to bring it out. There's additional seating in a room in the back that looked cozy, otherwise even at night, this place is still good to sit outdoors. They have such a great selection of teas that I had no idea there is a separate menu for tea alone. With the wonderful help from the staff, here's what I got: HOT TEA (large) - GRATEFUL HEART - $4.95 A gratifying blend of South African rooibos, orange, and ginger combined with fragrant flower petals from around the world. It was so nice of the staff member to ask if I also wanted honey and lemon in it, which I did! It was such a comforting warm beverage. It did take awhile for it to come out but that's okay. I've been here a many times before back when I lived in the area. They have a great selection of desserts and beverages and hot plates if you are feeling peckish. Urth Caffe never fails whenever I come here!

Still very flakey and chocalate-y. Melts beautifully when toasted. -Kouign-Amann: Great execution. Crispy but not soggy or too tough from the sugar brulee exterior. Nice hit of finishing salt. Interior was still plush. Delicious. -Almond Croissant: Good but not as stellar as the other pastries. I did enjoy the crunch of the almond slivers and appreciated that the toppings didn't weigh down the pastry dough itself. -Chocolate Chip Cookie: Very good brown butter notes but I wouldn't mind the cookie to be a teeeny bit thicker. -Ricotta Pesto: Delicious. Pesto was pronounced and filling was creamy. Heated up very well and pastry dough maintained all the flakey layers despite the filling in the center. The shop and parking: Parking immediately outside of the shop is paid meter. Free parking is available if you walk about a block or two down behind the shop along the apartment units. It's a short 2-5 minute walk so I'd highly recommend doing that if you can. Just make note of the no parking signs in case there is street sweeping or any restrictions but I've done this several times now with no issues. The shop is relatively small but has a good amount of seating with maybe two tables outside. I've been at different times and only once has there been a line that has gone out the door. Still, it was a short wait (about 12-15 mins). The shop also sells merch like t-shirts and adorable mini tote bags. They also have unique chocolates from different countries of origin for sale. Prices of pastries are on the higher end but they are very high quality given the sourced ingredients and 3 day process. You can actually see them folding and extruding the croissant dough behind the glass if you come at the right time! They have seasonal offerings and an option to pre-order online as well. Overall: Amazing quality. Everything you would want and expect from laminated pastries. Will continue coming back!
