“Best Coffee in America”

Urth Caffe

Jan 11, 2008

Note: If you're turned off by the "Industry Types" at Urth, then you probably don't want to go anywhere in LA, because the entire city runs on the entertainment industry. That being said, if you're offended by the way others dress and act, you might feel uncomfortable at Urth Caffe, because as with any LA hotspot, everyone is overdressed and in a hurry.

Pros: The workers at Urth (I think they're from Peru, or a nearby country) always take the time to smile and answer any questions you have. The crowd may seem pushy, but the workers are the nicest around. Urth has the best coffee selection you'll find. While you're there, buy a French press and throw away your coffee maker. You can't call yourself a coffee drinker if you're still using a filter. The tea selection is unmatched. Try the oatmeal and Spanish Latte.

Cons: Everything on the menu is overpriced, but that comes with the area/clientele. This isn't the "coffee house crowd" where you can order a small coffee and hang out all day with your laptop.

Bottom Line: If you're single, on a date, or looking for a cool quick lunch with a client, Urth Caffe is the place to go.

Haha. Funny to read the bad reviews of Urth Cafe since I live half block away and get what I want there easily and have never waited for a table or waited long for anything - but I avoid rush hour EVERYWHERE in West Hollywood. Sure, it's pumped up to be more than it is - like almost everything in Beverly Hills is and many things in West Hollywood are, but it's not THAT bad. Some of the food is just ok - the cookies are great - the coffee is better than Starbucks, but sometimes not the best - the soup is refreshing. Urth Cafe does a job, especially if want you quick organic Columbian coffee right down the block. I find the pretentious rich foreign customers to be the rude ones, treating the Columbian staff there like the are "just workers." As t the rest of it - well relax, you're in West Hollywood. So get used to it. lol
