A cute and popular breakfast cafe with a cozy interior seating and a spacious, beautiful exterior seating area. It was pretty crowded, as the line extended onto the sidewalk, but the line goes by fairly fast if you are looking at the menu figuring out what to order. Their menu is very large and overwhelming with so many options. - pistachio latte: 9.8/10. One of the best coffees I have ever had. The coffee was strong and not overly sweet, and the pistachio flavor was so rich and decadent, not artificial at all. I would definitely order this again. - eggs benedict canyon with sliced ham (on latkes): 8.5/10. Get this with latkes as the base! The salad was light and refreshing, and the eggs benedict was tasty. The eggs were a little bit over cooked though :( - banana walnut waffle: 8.9/10. I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I liked this dish. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It was topped with plenty of banana slices and walnuts, and the side of syrup lets you adjust the sweetness to your liking. Will be trying their other waffle flavors! - sunrise pizza: 6.6/10. This is a very unique and interesting pizza idea as it is topped with breakfast toppings, but it was pretty average tasting. Too much cheese for my preference. - prosciutto and cheese breakfast panini: 6.3/10. I love how their sandwiches all come with a tomato dipping sauce. This particular one was loaded with cheese, not enough prosciutto/meat ratio to the cheese. The cheese has a very plastic-y texture. This dish is nothing special and wasn't very tasty. Very cheesy so maybe if you like grilled cheese you would like this. Their pastries are all what you would expect. Pretty tasty, can't go wrong with any of them. The fruit tart was particularly refreshing because all the berries they used were so sweet, and the pistachio croissant had a good amount of pistachio filling. Will definitely be trying their other pastries/desserts as they have so many to choose from. read more

Urth Caffe - Margarita Pizza NEW Strawberry Boba Affogato Green Monkey Granita - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I hadn't been here in a couple of years and the green tea boba is even better than I remember! They used to serve it in a huge tall glass but I kind of like that they're serving it in a smaller to-go cup now -- perfect for taking on the go if you didn't finish it. I also got the breakfast sausage and orange juice and it was the best I've ever had of either. Only reason I can't give 5 stars is because the line to order food sometimes goes out into the street and it's really hard to not get in people's way and vice versa. I feel like they should coordinate the line a bit better, maybe have it wrap around the side instead of going into the street. But the location, easy parking, and ambiance makes this place a real gem. I love coming here. read more

Went here for years until it turned into this. It's a far cry from The Cottage, which it 'replaced'. It feels like a cheap LA rip off. The lines are long enough that you could turn to stone. Everything could improve. read more

I was visiting family in Newport Coast area and this is one of their favorite brunch/lunch spots. Its located in Laguna really close to the ocean. It has a blue globe in the front. Its on a busy street so parking can be hard. You order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. They have some seats inside, but the main seating is on the front patio. This place can get crazy busy- lines way outside down the stairs. The menu is inside but they have some print ones you can view. Its a massive menu- so its hard to choose. I got the margherita pizza- which was really good. The crust was crispy yet airy and the toppings were flavorful. My only complaint is I wanted more basil and maybe the tomatos cut up a bit more. We also got Tuna sandwich, quesadilla, tamales, a latte abd a cookie. All great! I would absolutely go back and try more stuff. Overall experience 4/5 read more

It's been over five years since my last visit. At that time my food and coffee experience was not good. Today I gave Urth, Laguna Beach another try and had a better experience. My Poach Di Parma was good: a nice combination of flavors with perfectly poached eggs. The scrambled eggs I shared were well-prepared and the Urth Tiramisu was exceptionally tasty. This cafe offers an unusually wide variety of choices and I liked that. The only two things I found unsatisfactory on this visit were: 1. After we ordered at the counter, left a generous tip and our food was dropped off at our table, no server or staff member returned to see if everything was "okay." 2. I had two kinds of bread this morning: Brioche and Baguette slices. The Brioche was stale (the Baguette slices were a little better). read more

Food was an okay, service was an okay, but the place was nice. You line up to order the food, but then they'll tell you coffee will take 30-35 minutes. We ordered several baked goods, pistachio croissant was more like pistachio danish, napoleon was good, but churro pastry was very bland. Coffee was good--worth the wait. Pistachio coffee was very rich, more like a dessert than a drink. Latte was bold, which I like. Benedict--the ciabatta was dry and stale. Please go with other options. Poached eggs were good, but not great. It was a bit overcooked. Overall for the price and the quality of the food, I wouldn't be coming back. read more

Finally made it to Urth Cafe and can't believe I actually waited this long. It's as good as everyone says! We enjoyed brunch on a Monday morning, and the line was very short and quick to move. I am obsessed with the blended chai boba - it was so flavorful and refreshing and the boba was perfectly chewy. I also enjoyed the ham Benedict on the potato's and it had wonderful flavor and the eggs were perfectly poached. My party also loved the beef hash dish and their parfait - we left no crumbs behind. Great spot to enjoy on the patio. I also appreciated the self serve to go boxes and cups and water stations. read more

Outrageous prices for bad food. It's loud and also poorly organized for customers. We got two pizzas and a bagel. The pizza tasted so bad like it was half cooked on a plate with dishwater still on it and felt like it was microwaved. My bagel was stale and chewy. Extremely disappointing and beyond a waste of money. read more

The eggs benedict plate I had were a horror. I love coming to Urth Caffe but this plate was actually extremely bad. The potatoes at the bottom tasted like rancid, the fish tasted so fishy and old, and my eggs were still super undercooked. I love poached eggs, but the whites were still very watery. It was a shame that it was a whole $20. The salad was delicious though. The drinks were very good. I also got a chocolate pistachio croissant and that was amazing. The service was very fast when ordering, and when getting my food. I will definitely come back but not get this plate again. read more

Urth Caffe - Breakfast Burrito, French Toast King - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY I visited this place a couple of years ago and had a great experience, which is why I decided to come back. Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite. The food was extremely disappointing for the price--$20 for French toast that tasted dry and bland, and another $20 for a pizza that had little to no flavor. However, the biggest issue was the service. After asking four separate times for a $10 smoothie, it didn't arrive until we had already finished our meal. I even brought it up to the manager on the third request, but there was no response or sense of urgency. It wasn't until I became visibly frustrated the fourth time that he finally acknowledged the situation--and even then, there was no apology or effort to make things right. Overall, the lack of service and care completely ruined the experience. I would not recommend this place. read more

Came here recently. Had not been in several years. It's right on PCH, but don't expect a view of the ocean. It's pretty much open seating. First, though, you stand in line perusing the menu as you wait to order at the counter. Order, pay, get a number placard and find a table. I would suggest one of your party grab a table while you (and others) stand in line. If you order a coffee or similar, they will hand it to you at the counter. It will then be a balancing act to your chosen seat. Honestly, it's too much work for me. I like the old fashion "take my order and deliver it to my table" approach. Anyway, the food is ok. Interesting, but their omelets come with a green salad. If you want say potatoes instead, it's a $4 upcharge. I got the sausage and potato omelet and it was alright. Wifey initially wanted the huevos rancheros, but they were "out." Not sure how you run out of huevos rancheros, but anyway... Also, on regular coffee, you get one...one refill. Parking can be an adventure. Best of luck to you. read more

I used to really love this place, but I went back for the first time in about two years and had a terrible experience. We were seated on the patio, and the entire time we were eating, pigeons were everywhere. The moment someone stepped away from the table--even for a second--three or four pigeons would immediately fly over and start eating the food. Even while I was sitting there, pigeons kept landing on the table right in front of us. When they flew away, they were flapping their wings so close that you could smell them, and it was honestly pretty gross. The second people got up to leave, pigeons would swarm the tables and eat whatever food was left. It felt really unsanitary and unpleasant. If you dislike pigeons or birds, I would strongly recommend not sitting on the patio here. Sadly, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

I really really love this place! One of the reasons I moved to Laguna Beach was because of this restaurant. I love sitting outside and doing work. The vibe is real. The only thing that can improve is adding plugs so that people can charge their computers or phones. There aren't any inside or outside that are useful to the public and it's such a great spot to sit and do work and hang out. read more

The Diablo sandwich was tasty! The Mac and cheese was cooked well too. I didn't get any drinks this time. But the service was pretty good and the space was pretty spacious. There's quite a few tables there. But there's not a lot of plugs if you're trying to work on things there. read more

You come for the vibe and because there's nothing offensive about the place but as far as the food goes, it's pretty bland and the service is not great either. We came on a Saturday midday and not surprisingly it was pretty busy. While you're waiting in line, you'll want to figure out you want to eat because once you get to the counter to order, they're pretty impatient regarding your order. They were pretty short and impatient, which, maybe if they're dealing with constant people they get annoyed but this is their job. We got a wide variety of food, the Diablo panini sandwich, a pizza, a Mac and cheese, a salad, and their chicken soup. We also ordered drinks which will take a VERY long time to make (we didn't get outside until we finished eating) so be prepared for that. My panini was pretty bland although the jalapeños were pretty spicy. The soup had a sour taste which I didn't like. The pizza was very average. The best part was the salad. A very good vinegarette albeit a little heavy and fresh ingredients. But otherwise it was a disappointing meal. My drink was the Japanese latte which, given they have Macha drinks, I thought this would be more like a brown tea but it was a green tea latte. Not great. They have excellent desserts and pastries, which, if we had, would have been a higher rating but only by one star. I know they have go read more

My husband and I were spending the day in Laguna Beach and decided to stop into Urth Caffé for a quick latte and fruit smoothie break. First off the vibes are everything. The atmosphere fits Laguna perfectly: relaxed, beachy, and effortlessly cool. It's the kind of spot where you can sit back, sip slowly, and just enjoy the surroundings. The employees were friendly and laid-back, which made the quick stop even more pleasant. I ordered a fruit smoothie and my husband grabbed a latte. Both were delicious fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we wanted on a beach day. No complaints on taste at all. Now... let's talk price. The smoothie was about $10, which definitely made me pause. It was good really good but it's still hard not to feel that beach-town pricing. That said, when you're in Laguna Beach, premium prices kind of come with the territory. You're paying for the location and the ambiance as much as the drink itself. Would I come back? Yes. Would I mentally prepare myself for the prices? Also yes. Overall, it's a great stop if you're in the area and want something refreshing with a beautiful coastal vibe. Just expect to pay a little extra for that ocean-adjacent experience. read more

Food is very average and boy it's expensive! I ordered the egg sandwich and soup and a hot drink. The soup came out lukewarm I had to send it back. The egg sandwich was just fine but our drinks didn't arrive until we were halfway thru our meal. My kids each ordered something and for the 3 of us the bill was $120. Wowzers not sure I'll be going back. Value is not there. No one wants to drink their coffee midway thru their meal, drinks need to come out first! read more

In our last days of the year, my family and I planned to visit Laguna Beach. They came to visit CA and Urth Cafe holds a special please in our hearts. The famous Spanish Latte is just fenomenal and you cannot go wrong with it! However our experience with this location it was truly disappointing. Waitress and barista were so rude, unfriendly and with a horrible attitude. We love this place but that type of service should not be allowed specially when the waiting was over an hour just for coffees!! The orange location or the LA Downtown are the best! read more

Love the laid back beach vibe of this place. I really love the blue berry cheesecake.

Went on the weekday morning; seating was ample and had a view of the ocean outside. You order at the register inside and they will take your order out to you. I ordered the blueberry cheesecake, drip coffee, panini, and a smoothie. Cheesecake was a delight to have if you're having a sweet tooth and the coffee was pleasant. Nothing too special with the smoothie or sandwiches. You're paying for the vibes and location of it all. Prepared to have seagulls invade your personal space and attack your leftover plates. Good place for a light eat if you're in the area but nothing to go out of your way about. Service is minimal and self serve should you need anything. read more

My husband and I went on a staycation in Laguna Beach, and this was our second time visiting Urth Caffé. Our first visit was at their Orange location, which we really enjoyed, so when we passed by the Laguna location, we were excited to stop in for brunch before heading home. It was also conveniently located right across from our stay at Casa Loma, so the short walking distance was perfect. We sat outside, and the overall vibe reminded us of Island Vintage Café in Waikiki, Hawaii -- relaxed, open-air, and beachy. It has the same setup where you order first and then sit wherever you'd like. We ordered the Eggs Benedict Canyon with ciabatta bread and the natural beef hash. The food was good, classic brunch fare -- satisfying, but not quite as amazing as we remembered from the Orange location. The real reason I even wanted to write this review in the first place was to sh!t on one of their new matcha drinks called the Aloha [something]. I really wish I took a picture of it right when they served it because it looked so messy and colorful -- not in a good way, but in a wtf did I just order way. I remember it had strawberry purée and blue spirulina, so I thought it sounded interesting. It definitely was... just not in a good way. My first sip made me audibly Ew out loud. It tasted like pure syrup with zero hint of matcha. I even stirred it, thinking maybe I just got a bad few sips, but the entire drink tasted like liquid sugar, genuinely like diabetes in a cup. I'm not trying to be funny or dramatic, I'm being dead serious. On top of that, I was more than halfway done with my meal and had to go up to the register to ask for it because I guess they forgot to bring it out. I don't know if it was just this location or if someone was having a bad day, but that drink completely ruined the vibe. I left the cup full on the table because of how disgusting it was. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing perfect for a sunny brunch or coffee date. The menu is impressively extensive, with so many delicious options that it's genuinely hard to choose. I ordered the Napoleon cake and it was huge I ended up taking it home and enjoying it for three more days! I also tried their pistachio coffee, and it was such an interesting and unique flavor I had never had anything like it before. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful.

I absolutely love Urth, the vibes are always positive, the staff is hardworking and friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and full of flavor. I've never had a meal here that felt like it was lacking. A must-try is their Japanese matcha latte and the Pizza Cantona. I order the Pizza Cantona every single time I come, it's truly my favorite. Honestly, everything else on the menu is terrific as well. I haven't tried anything I didn't like yet. The aesthetic of Urth is so peaceful and uplifting. It's the kind of place that just makes you feel good and sets the tone for a great start to your day. read more

Cute place to grab brunch by the beach. No parking lot, there is street parallel parking for $2.50/hr that you can walk 5-10min from. Waiting in line just to order could take 30min-1hr itself so I paid for 2hours of parking. I came around 11am on a Saturday and the line was unbelievably long for something you self seat (we waited in line for 45min). I got the sprout sandwhich ($16.50) full size. The sandwich was really good and it came with a side salad with a vinaigrette sauce. The side salad gave me and my friend diarrhea. It did not sit well and it kinda felt like a knife stabbed me in the stomach. I know it wasnt the sandwich bc i ate the other half the next day and I was ok. The side salad was the only thing me and my friend shared. Also if you dont like pigeons, be prepared. I had no problem but there tends to be a lot of pigeons that will come and sit on your table or fly around the area. I thought it was cute but other people looked annoyed. Overall an ok experience but with the long line, paying for parking, and the bad salad, I dont know if I'd come here again read more
