Down to Urth

Angelenos live for three things…cars, great sweat suits and outrageous organic cuisine. We love to stay healthy, look our best and be seen sipping organic Spanish latte’s with our designer clad Pugs and ergonomically fashion forward Pumas. Thanks to Urth Caffé, this trio of ultra popular organic eateries ensures that every Angeleno can fight the urge to Supersize and opt for a natural nibble or two.

As soon as you step through the door of one of their three locations, you immediately notice the cozy, warm atmosphere. Think more upscale casual café than fine dining establishment. From coffees and teas that tantalize to sandwiches, salads, soups and delicious desserts that definitely delight, everything on the menu is made with all natural, organic ingredients and served up quick and ready to devour.

Founded in 1989, Urth Caffe was originally an organic coffee company. Due to their tight knit relationship with eight small farms around the world, they were able to supply vendors with some of the most delectable certified organic coffee beans on the market. Their most popular item on the menu is still their Spanish Latte which is guaranteed to give you the jolt of joy you’ve been craving and can’t seem to find. All of Urth’s coffee is the lowest in acid and most healthiest coffee in the world.

In 1994, they opened their first location on the famed Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, which in four short years was awarded #1 Coffee Restaurant by Los Angeles Magazine. Fans of the wonderfully light and tasty dishes started to spread the word that if you were hungry for something delicious and wholesome, there was no place better than Urth Caffe.

In 2003, a location opened in Beverly Hills that was equally as celebrated as its West Hollywood predecessor. By this time, the buzz on the street had reached the ears of Hollywood’s elite who were wholeheartedly embracing the environmental trend that was just sweeping the nation. So, low and behold, countless celebs were photographed eating, drinking and sipping their favorite organic delights at the place to be seen Urth Caffe.

Just recently, they opened their third location in Santa Monica with much fanfare and applause. There can never be too many Urth Caffes in my opinion. In a fast food nation where the artery clogging, cholesterol raising creations abound, it’s nice to know that there are trendy, upscale eateries that cater to fabulous fare that’s light on the calories and heavy on the health factor.

Urth Caffe is unveiling their latest coffee collobaration – Uganda coffee. Their newest coffee farm is located in Uganda at altitudes of 7,000 and resides up near the last remaining mountain gorillas. This project is directly assisting Uganda’s economy and working to protect the mountain gorilla’s habitat.
