Urth Caffe Melrose
8565 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA
Crema's Take
“Urth Caffé's Melrose location captures that coveted European café vibe right in the heart of West Hollywood, with sprawling outdoor seating that's perfect for soaking up the California sun while nursing a robust espresso drink. Their menu swings ambitiously between traditional and specialty coffee alongside an impressive roster of pastries and breakfast options, though execution can be a bit uneven—the coffee itself tends toward the bold side, so don't hesitate to ask them to dial it back if that's not your style. It's the kind of place where you can grab a quick pastry and cortado on your way out or settle in for a leisurely brunch with friends, which explains why it's consistently buzzing with the West Hollywood crowd.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Great cafe with a European feel and an extensive menu. They have a lot of popular coffee choices, pastries, and casual meals. Always lively, with steady service despite the crowds. Portions felt fair for the price. Everything came out quickly and fresh. I’d come back when I’m in…
This place has great outdoor seating, which is perfect for California weather. The food and coffee are both really good—just a heads-up that the coffee can be quite strong, so it’s best to request a mild one if that’s your preference. It’s an ideal spot for casual meet-ups with…
I am always in and out getting a coffee drink (extensive menu) or their delicious pastries but never sat down to have a meal. I finally had breakfast and the portions were huge and delicious. Also, appreciated that they have various soups and various lunch items available even…
Prime location and I loved the outdoor tables for lunch! Ordering is at the counter, with table delivery. They have a huge variety of sweet and savory options. However, the food and service are only average. My salad was essentially a mountain of arugula with way too much oil,…
