Urth Caffé- Melrose

Tried the breakfast burrito and all natural spicy sausage and was a little underwhelmed. The sausage came out slightly rubbery, and the burrito lacked firmness and bold flavor compared to similar dishes I’ve had elsewhere. However, everything was properly sealed and packaged well. On a positive note, the Spanish latte was a winner! It was creamy, smooth, flavorful, and easily the best part of my order. 👍🏻

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 the area.

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 friends and a relaxed hangout. Plus, it holds a special place for me as the first restaurant I’ve been to in California! ☀️

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 during breakfast times in case you are just not feeling eggs and bacon. Moreover, seems like it was hopping everyday at night during their dinner service as well. Its just a great neighborhood gem that has been around for ages and you see why. Its quality, prices and extensive menu is something in between a diner and trendy brunch service with prices that has not been inflated out of porportion. They have an outdoor area for great people watching since it does have heavy foot traffic and off to the side of Melrose. The service was efficient and courteous. They have fast turnover and constant customers so the service staff don't have the time to be overly friendly, which I actually prefer. Appreicated the practicality and efficiency over soulless smiles. No one looked miserable there. Parking can be hit or miss. If you know its during heavy traffic hours, just walk there if you are in the neighborhood. If you have to drive, the WeHo Library and Park Public Parking is just 3 blocks down.

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, and the "tiramisu" more like a coffee-flavored cake. Be ready for high LA prices. Come for the ambiance, not the cuisine. Good for a quick bite and great atmosphere, but pricey for what you get.
