Comments: In the beginning, Urth Caffe West Hollywood consumed our every Sunday morning; half the morning taken by commuting over there and back. I was amped when I heard they were coming to my neck of the woods in Santa Monica. We monitored the construction closely during our bicycle drive-bys, salivating for those vegan muffins. Like West Hollywood, Urth Caffe Santa Monica has limited indoor seating and a lot of outdoor and patio seating. You order at the counter with the busy register jockeys and then grab a seat amongst the somewhat forced, voguish milieu. The help staff then quickly shuffles your drinks and food to your table and the dishes from. Though the Santa Monica location is a model home version of the West Hollywood location, it still has a pleasant atmosphere with a great location on Main. The menu is somewhat limited, but has enough vegan lunch options to keep me interested. I enjoy breakfast more than lunch, but that’s only because they have great organic coffee. However, unlike West Hollywood, Santa Monica does not carry the vegan muffins; though I tried hard but unsuccessfully to change this. This leaves me with my only breakfast option of oatmeal with soy milk. Oh, and of course my soy latte, cappuccino, or just coffee, black. Overall, Urth Caffe Santa Monica has good food and great coffee for a somewhat reasonable price, though their location is their biggest asset. They are quick and usually busy, but with the late crowd; eat early and you won’t notice. They open a half hour early for drinks, so go early, grab a coffee and a table, and build your appetite while enjoying the peaceful, misty and cool Santa Monica mornings. Though we are no longer religious about our Urth Caffe Sundays, every so often, we still stop for a relaxing soymilk drowned oatmeal and coffee during our bicycle drive-bys.
