    Evidence of Heaven - entre grilled vegetables with pesto salad 1/2 order!!
    Adrian C.

    Roasted vegetables with pesto entree 1/2 order was categorically phenomenal! Divine! Transcendent!! Euphoric! Sublime!

    Anise K.

    Went to Urth Caffé and had such a smooth experience--no line (which is rare), and the crowd was super nice. The vibe felt calm but still lively, which made it a really enjoyable stop. I ordered the grilled chicken pesto sandwich with an almond honey vanilla latte, and both were so good. The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the latte had the perfect balance of nutty and sweet without being overpowering. The menu is fun, the food hits, and the prices are actually decent for Santa Monica. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Mocha and Bread Pudding
    Jennifer G.

    Love Urth Cafe. It's been a while since I've been. The mocha and bread pudding are still amazing. If you can get a seat, I recommend dining in, as the people watching is always amazing. This visit including watching a guy's day being totally made by a getting approached and asked out by a woman. Took him a few minutes to realize what was happening, but I'm pretty sure that he was happy for getting a cup of coffee that day. Even if you don't have a LA moment, their drinks and pastries will make your day.

    Sitting outside is so relaxing. The honey vanilla latte was amazing. Waiting on my Ham and cheese croissant and my husband's potato and sausage omelette. Can't wait to come back

    Urth Cafe Santa Monica
    Sales S.

    I'll start out by saying I'm disappointed this morning because after years of eating here I noticed that my omelette was a little bubbly and it got me thinking how does it get bubbly and after asking the manager if they microwave the omelets he said yes the kitchen is very small only two guys back to back sad can't have omelets here anymore I wish they would get a real stove at least they could get a guy out in the patio with a fryer like some hotels do but for a healthy Place microwaving eggs just doesn't seem like all that kosher .

    I've visited a few different Urth Caffé locations on separate occasions, and overall the experiences have been consistent. The food presentation is always beautiful and the ingredients taste fresh. I've tried the grilled sandwich with a side salad perfectly toasted bread, melted cheese, and jalapeños for a little kick. The mixed greens were crisp and lightly dressed. On another visit, I had the smoked salmon plate with tomatoes, red onions, capers, cream cheese, and a bagel. The salmon was fresh and the portion size was generous. I've also had scrambled eggs and other brunch items simple but well prepared. That said, this place is expensive. Considering the locations and the type of food they offer, it makes sense but it's definitely not a budget-friendly spot. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're on a tight budget or in a time crunch. It gets busy, especially during brunch hours, and you should expect to spend some time there. Overall, it's a lively café with fresh food and consistent quality, just be prepared for higher prices and a wait during peak hours. The staff at this location are very friendly.

    Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad (Seasonal)
    Jessenia R.

    This was my first time visiting an Urth Caffé, there isn't one in the IE, and I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the burrata salad, which I'd never had before, but it sounded too good to pass up, and it did not disappoint. The balsamic vinaigrette was so flavorful that it balanced out any bitterness from the arugula, and the burrata itself was creamy and delicious. Just an overall really good salad. My husband finished his huevos rancheros burrito, and my cousin finished her Caprese sandwich, which says a lot, everything was really, really good. The ambience is very cool. There's some outdoor seating, and on a beautiful day it's perfect to sit on the patio. You order at the front and they bring the food out to you, so it's more of a cafe-style setup rather than a traditional sit-down restaurant, but it works really well here. Great food, great vibe, and a solid first experience. Five stars!

    Hang with the locals and enjoy a rooibois rumi latte or Spanish latte and homemade vegan oatmeal cookie or brownie with huge chunks of walnuts. Whenever we fly into LAX we make sure to make Urth one of our first stops.

    Spicy sausage side
    Elaine T.

    The best coffee in Los Angeles and great food and dessert options. If you are looking in Santa Monica and looking for a healthy or hearty meal, urth is a solid choice. I've been going since they opened and know several of the staff by name. They always great everyone with a smile and even though it's fast casual (you order at the counter, then they bring everything to you) they aim to please. My favorites include waffle and oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch, I love all their soups, the farmer's salad served with the gorgeous nut and fruit bread, the tostada with grilled chicken, spinach tortilla quesadilla with veggies, and if I'm really hungry the pot roast sandwich served with an au jus on the side. I find their eggs either overcooked or undercooked, so I avoid them. I find their pizzas too bready. Desserts are excellent especially if you are hosting a party, get one of their cakes to go or a bunch of the single pastries. I love their flour less chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, cheese danish, and fruit tart, but you really can't go wrong with anything they offer. They have vegan options for desserts too!

    Honey Vanilla Latté Medium and Aloha Matcha (Wazuka Matcha, organic blue spirulina, creamy coconut and refreshing strawberry purée)
    Neisha H.

    Updating with more photos! Absolutely love this place! The sweet potato pie was a decent size and tasted incredible. Original Review DELICIOUS!!! They use Organic Wazuka Matcha and dairy free milk. It's so smooth and silky! The latte was well made and also tasted great.

    The lovely fire.
    Sharon G.

    On a recent visit. I was devastated not to have time for any of their delicious baked goods, which looked as incredible as always, but did get a chance to enjoy a coffee by the fireplace. It was fairly quiet and beautiful on a Tuesday morning in October.

    Chicken Caesar Salad Half
    Cole H.

    Had a great lunch at Earth Cafe. I ordered the half chicken Caesar salad, and it was more than enough food. The grilled chicken was flavorful, the Caesar dressing was excellent, and the cheesy crisps added a unique tang and crunch that really elevated the salad. The smoothie was solid and refreshing, and the complimentary bread and butter were a nice touch. The ambiance was great, with good lighting and very comfortable seating. Service was alright nothing special, but no complaints. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavor all around. I'll definitely be back

    Liliana O.

    Just arrived at Urth Caffé and I'm already impressed. The vibe is amazing and the staff is so welcoming from the moment you walk in. I ordered the Oreo cheesecake and a vanilla classic matcha latte... both were so good. Definitely a must-try if you're coming here. Great energy, great service, and even better treats. I'll definitely be back

This is my favorite brunch item and I've had it at just about every LA establishment. This one is truly up there. The bar area is a bit of a disaster. Dishes being cleaned by the same people making drinks. Dirty sponges. Freshly made drinks near used drinks. It's absolutely disgusting and couldn't possibly be up to code. Hopefully they find a better system. TIP: Free parking with validation

A little on the watery side. Chicken bites came out in about 15 minutes. The coating had a very satisfying crunch, very saucy, but fell off the chicken easily and was a bit salty. This is a messy dish for sure. You will get your hands dirty! Chorizo Benedict came out about 30 minutes after order. Not great honestly. Portion size was generous. The eggs were poached decently, still runny, but the chorizo itself was bland and rather dry. The potatoes were room temperature. The bread a bit too chewy. Not AT ALL spicy. Super light on the pico de gallo. The service was rather slow for not being very busy. They didn't appear to be understaffed either. The location itself is cozy and not too loud, which is nice! Short walk from down town. The staff was kind, but boy were they slow. From being seated to paying for my meal was well over an hour! Automatic 2.5% "service fee" total was $46.50 before tip. I don't think I'll be returning unfortunately. The search for a good Benedict in LA area continues!

I also had the cucumber marg and our server asked me if I would like some Jalapeno slices in it and it really elevated the whole experience. Apps: the PEI mussels were beautifully arranged and the curry sauce that it in was very flavorful. I highly recommend this as a starter. The steak tartar was a whole show, the server walked out with a glass case that was ultra smoky, which they opened in front of you. It was a dinner and a show!! The tartar was very delicious.

I am not a fan of blue cheese dressing but it was not at all over powering. It was absolutely incredible. Mains: we ordered the branzino and these short ribs and both were cooked to perfection. The branzino had a perfect char to the skin and the server recommended the short ribs with mashed potatoes versus what it comes with which was shave carrots. The majority of the food and drinks were on special that ended 6 p m. If you do go I highly recommend going before 6. You can also valet your car and it's also discounted if you're there 2 hours or less. I will absolutely be coming back for happy hour again. Maybe even brunch!
