Never underestimate the power of delicious sustaining food to get you through stressful times. Urth Caffé has a veritable feast of delights in spades, so here’s our foodie review to give you all of the necessary details to enjoy it too.
Note: This review is in no way sponsored. All of these opinions are my own.
Locations
This eatery has earned praise and renown from their various cafe locations throughout the foodie favorites galore of southern California, the highly competitive Las Vegas food scene, the discerning palates of Japan, and more.
Pickup and Delivery
While patio dining is available at select locations, Urth Caffé has risen to these challenging times by offering both pickup and delivery. Order online at their website (linked below). And if you are picking up takeout, be sure to bring a mask (and disposable gloves if you have them) as this is still a bustling hot spot for food and your fellow customers can get a bit chaotic. Be safe. Delivery is available within a limited radius of each location, but if you prefer delivery, you can check if Urth Caffé is available through a third party delivery service (like Doordash, GrubHub, UberEats, etc) on the off chance they offer a larger delivery radius that includes your address.
Food
The Urth Caffé menu is gloriously extensive, spoiling you for choice.
Breakfast
There is a varied selection of breakfast options - available until 1pm on weekdays and 2pm on weekends, with some items available beyond that under their “All Day Brunch” menu. Some particularly noteworthy breakfast choices include the Urth Acai Bowl, the Egg White & Spinach Breakfast Panini, and the delectable Urth Bread Pudding Breakfast - a warm bread pudding in plain, cinnamon raisin, or seasonal pumpkin, topped with either caramelized bananas or slow-roasted apples and served with steamed milk.
Pizzas
They also have great 4-slice pizzas that are wonderful for splitting with another person or indulging your very own mouth watering cravings. And these are not just your typical pizza toppings. Why not try their D’Lox Pizza with smoked salmon, red onions, arugula, fennel, and capers or their Sunrise Pizza with sausage, pancetta, mozzarella, and poached egg? Yum. But we especially recommend their Butternut Squash and Ricotta Pizza with herbed ricotta cheese and satisfyingly soft roasted butternut squash topping a classic tomato, mozzarella, and oregano pizza.
Paninis
These grilled panini sandwiches are served with spinach side salads and include gluten-free and vegan options. Feel free to explore the options available, but know that their Panini El Diablo, specifically, is a massively popular item for a reason, with cilantro chicken, three-chili sauce, jalapeño, and monterey jack cheese.
Salads and Sandwiches
They offer an interesting collection of signature salads, including their famous Urth Salad, which contains mixed greens, feta cheese, Roma tomatoes, hearts of palm, garbanzo beans, Kalamata olives (with pits), and pine nuts, all dressed in an Urth vinaigrette and served with freshly baked bread. Their sandwiches all come with side salads and many bread options, including gluten-free. And they clearly know how to do cilantro chicken right because their Grilled Cilantro Chicken Breast With Pesto Sandwich is wildly popular. It also has a cheese-free pesto option.
And there’s even more! For example, a Mediterranean platter, lasagna, quesadillas, tamales, a tostada, a Nori plum rice wrap, and soups du jour. We weren’t kidding; the vast Urth Caffé menu will entice you again and again. Also, we haven’t even scratched the surface of their large array of drink and dessert items, so here we go...
Drinks
With an emphasis on organic and sustainable ingredients, it should be no surprise that their coffees and fine teas are particularly delicious. From sensational smoothies to luxurious lattes to blended boba teas, there’s definitely something tasty to quench your thirst.
Their standard Smoothie option allows you to choose 3 fruits from a selection for a custom blended treat. We highly recommend our favorite fruit combination of banana, watermelon, and mango for an outstandingly refreshing smoothie that’s kept us coming back for more.
Urth Caffé stands out for their beautifully exquisite foam art. So, if you are ever dining in, we recommend trying one of their luscious lattés in a mug and marveling at the talent of their staff. However, if you’re more in the mood for something chilled to cool you off, they have a great variety of iced and blended drinks. Popular items include their sweet, creamy Spanish Latté Granita, their Green Monkey Granita for a delicious mix of matcha and banana milkshake, or any one of their Boba drinks - iced or blended with plenty of choices for flavors or milk substitutions, and even with no boba, if you prefer.
Desserts
The expansive list of dessert options offered by Urth Caffé is tempting beyond reason. It’s frankly difficult to pull me away. They have cakes, cheesecakes, pies, pound cakes, tiramisús, tarts, pastries, cookies, and quite a few vegan items available.
I could go on about their dessert selections at length, but instead I will encourage you to visit their website (linked below) and keep this short and sweet:
They have some stellar and unique pastries, like their Chocolate Pistachio or Matcha Croissants. But be forewarned, their pastries sell out fast, so get them while you can.
And some special seasonal flavors to note for the upcoming holidays are their famous Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream - served with a slice of orange, which provides an unexpected and fantastic flavor combination (a personal favorite of mine), as well as their Sweet Potato Pie.
Cost
Urth Caffé is a little pricey, with the cost of meals quickly adding up. And it may feel like a hit to your budget but -- every once in a while -- it’s worth it to splurge on a sumptuous full course meal or piece it out by indulging specifically on one or two items per visit. If you are stopping in for pickup or their limited patio dining, though, make sure you bring enough money to also cover the paid parking fees (in coins or card). They do offer a loyalty program for those frequent customer discounts -- available through their website or you can ask in-store for details.
