Urth Caffe & Bar - LAX

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the friendly staff and excellent service here in Terminal 1. My chocolate croissant was absolutely scrumptious—light, flaky, and moist, just the way it should be. Though I don’t usually drink an Americano on the go (I prefer my coffee from a mug), I have to say the Americano here was fantastic! Even in a paper cup, it was strong, bold, flavorful, and had just the right kick.

Croissant tasting like cardboard. Customer Service is very nice but we had to stand up four times and ask them to fix our food rather than each which is the main reason why we stopped in the first place. Disappointed. They claimed to offer the best in the world.... Well, that's wild their coffee tastes like hot chocolate

Visited this coffee shop during my work travel at LAX. I'm familiar with Urth Caffé from their popular Laguna Hills location, which I've visited a few times. So, when I saw they had a shop near Gates 1-9 at LAX, I was excited to give it a try. I ordered their Spanish latte. While it was rich and delightful with the perfect balance, opt for an extra shot of espresso if you are fan of the extra kick. Since it is served in a Togo container it didn’t quite match up to the experience I had at the other branch. The service was fine, and they also offer some good pastries. If you're looking to try a different coffee spot other than the big-name chains and have some time before boarding, this place is worth a visit.

Super friendly service! It was nice ordering a latte and grabbing some pastries to go for my 3 hour flight. This place was very clean. I was surprised they have the glass bottle Evians which is a plus! Will continue to come here for coffee or lattes while waiting for my flights.

$16 for a small bowl of oatmeal and tiny bit of granola is ridiculous, even for the airport. Most food items are premade so there’s no modifications available. Some food might not even be available, especially if you’re there in the morning.

Burrito was really disappointing, microwaved, cold inside. Eggs were watering and more like cottage cheese. Tiramisu was pretty good. Would go back for the bakery but would not get the burrito again.

The place looks impressive as does the savouries and pastries on display. But it’s just about okay and way overpriced. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and could barely taste the bacon or the cheese.

House coffee is good, but I think the food is microwaved, so I'd avoid it. The eggs in my $20 breakfast sandwich were really cold. Overall taste was okay. Atmosphere is pretty nice and spacious and relaxed.

Totally serviceable. Nothing more. It's $20 for a chicken salad sandwich that is completely edible. I recognize that overpaying somewhat, and ending up with just mediocrity, is actually in the upper tier of possible airport food results. Still, I don't have to like it. I'd probably recommend the Ace tacos in the food court just behind Urth instead if you're here in Terminal 1 and need to eat, but you could certainly do worse.

The food is a bit overpriced even for an airport, but they have a large seating area, which most airport cafes do not. The staff is usually friendly but not quite 4-star level friendly customer service (I would rate the customer service at 3.5 stars). They talk to one another a lot, and it can appear that the staff isn't paying attention to the customer. Food items that tasted delicious: Tiramisu, any fruit Danish. Food items to avoid: The burrito was reheated in the microwave, but the heat was not evenly distributed inside. Some parts may be cold, and the eggs were a little runny. Best coffee drinks: Chai latte, Vanilla iced coffee, or latte. Example of food prices: * $16 for a bowl of oatmeal and granola * $25 for a Panini sandwich

My first time inside Terminal 1 at LAX I decided to have lunch at Urth Cafe & Bar. This is quite a popular cafe with a few locations across Los Angeles County. I was kind of surprised that they had one in the airport but I am glad they did because I was pretty hungry. I ordered their chicken soup which is pretty much chicken, broth, and vegetables there are no noodles inside. Also for a tuna sandwich and a matcha blended rising sun drink with almond milk. Says it has extra energy which I need and wanted to try out. It kind of tastes like there is chocolate mixed into it but not sure. Overall the food is delicious and the drink is much needed. Clean tables and plenty of seating if you want to hang out and enjoy a meal.

Loved to find Urth Caffe & Bar at LAX! I wanted to stop at Urth before going to the airport but didn't want to miss my flight; luckily there's one here at the southwest terminal. I ordered a matcha latte, water and 3 cheese danishes to go. this is an express location so although you will not be able to find all of your favorite menu items, there is enough to satiate your cravings before, during or after your flight. great service and a few tables available while waiting for your flight. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4.5/5 (due to less options) drinks: 4.5/5 service: 5/5 urth caffe & bar: 4.5/5

I adore the matcha at Urth cafe. While a bit pricey, I think the quality of the matcha and coffee at the airport is such a godsend when you have time to spare at the Southwest terminal. I tried the Rising Sun Matcha Latte for the first time, and the blend of espresso + matcha was done so beautifully here. Urth also has quite nice seating at the airport, and the service was very quick when I went (though keep in mind there was no line). Lovely spot for a quick pick me up!

Item ordered: Gluten free mixed berry muffin Value: At around $5, price is not terrible Service: The servers are nice but overwhelmed The Review: There aren't many options in the DEN airport. Usually Urth caffe can accommodate dietary needs, like gluten free. At this location, there is a very limited menu and the only gluten-free item is this muffin. I can't speak to any of the other food. You have to wait a significant amount of time, so if you're rushing to a flight, you probably don't want to order anything here.

This is my go to coffee and breakfast spot anytime I'm flying out of terminal one at LAX! They boast about their heirloom coffees which are lovely and their pastries are as delicious as they are beautiful. I almost always get their Spanish Latte - a creamy, mild latte with just the right amount of sweetness. I also love their decorative blueberry danishes - textures and flavors are fantastic and again, not too sweet which I really appreciate. This last trip I tried their breakfast sandwich which comes with bacon, cheese and egg. It's served on a very nice bun - soft and savory and always nicely toasted. But it does have a bit of an odd aftertaste and I probably wouldn't get it again. It was just ok. Their lines are always long but they move fast. They have lots of seating in benches and at the coffee bar and the decor is chic and bright. Staff are efficient but not overly warm or friendly - but they are always frantic busy lol. Their prices are crazy high - but given that they're in the airport it's not a surprise. On my last visit they were only accepting cards and mobile pay methods - no cash - so be aware.

Was excited to see an Urth Caffe at LAX. Last week's morning flight was the perfect time to pick up coffee and breakfast. Definitely not the same as the stand alone full restaurant locations. Cute decor though. Brightly lit, many delicious pastry options, modern wood slat designed seating. I loved the wall art that included a Leave a book, Take a book section. I would love to see that be utilized. Extremely limited menu. Was disappointed to not see the Japanese Matcha Latte on the menu or the Sunrise Pizza. I opted for a vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich. Both were decent. Staff was friendly. Order took a little long but I'm not complaining since there were quite a few people ahead of me. I would eat/drink here again (yes they have a bar as well).

Located behind the TSA precheck at the Southwest departure terminal 1, this place looks nice and is adequately staffed. However, it's in an airport so you know this ish is expensive. A small bagel breakfast sandwich is about $18 (very tasty but barely any bacon--it's like Starbucks, they put it in the toaster oven). The sandwich is cheaper than the larger $15 breakfast burrito. It is what it is. The cappuccino is about $7. The free water is straight from the tap. Tastes like metal and has to spit it out. The water from the fountain next to the bathrooms tastes better, so save yourself the hassle.

Rude and disrespectful! I was patiently waiting to be called to place an order I wasn't in a rush, but unfortunately the cashier saw me and after sometime just left the counter. I was in the line and no one else but the way I felt ignored my presence in the queue it was humiliating. I always come to this place, at orange at Laguna beach because of the good food and good customer service but if one location has bad customer service then its a big no (for me at least ) customer service is the key for any organization to grow and sustain in this competitive market. Not only this they delayed my order purposely because I told them that I was being ignored.

Very convenient way to get your morning fix during our early 5 AM flight. I would recommend the mixed berries pastries for sure. Their coffee/drinks are subpar and not worth the inflated price. So hopefully you drink your caffeine on the way to the airport and save room for their pastries.

Urth cafe at the airport!!! Yess! Must get their cappuccino!! Nothing like the typical sit down like Urth Cafe in downtown LA or Pasadena. The concept is grab and go. They do have great seating area for eating then catch your flight. I got to say we ordered breakfast sandwich and it was not worth the price. Do not get. It is $18 for a small small sandwich. I get it ....got to make up for the cost at the airport but that breakfast sandwich can be a tad bit bigger. A bit disappointed in the size for what they charge. The breakfast sandwich consist of eggs and cheese only with sesame seeds bagel looking (sadly didn't take a photo of the sandwich). The cappuccino was good substitute regular milk with soy milk which cost $1.29. Service was quick and efficient. Got our cappuccino and sandwich right away. Would I buy the sandwich here again? Nah...

Counter ppl are fast, courteous, and efficient. However, the product is crap. Go to Einstein Bros instead if you are hungry. I had a medium coffee of the day (regular degular coffee) and it was $5 and mediocre. Nothing special. I also had a bagel and cream cheese which was tasteless with a tiny little cream cheese round (package .75 oz) for $6. Not impressed. Never again.

GREAT CHEESECAKE AND AMAZING SERVICE! NOT BAD FOR AN AIRPORT RESTAURANT. Is it as good as URTH cafe in Los Angeles on Hewitt? No. Is it decent? YES. Would I come again? YES. Food: 4/5 The cheesecake is so thick, creamy, and not overly sweet. I usually get blueberry cheesecake from the other Urth cafe, and this one didn't taste like my favorite, but it was still better than good. The menu is very small, but I saw they have quiches, cheese and fruit danishes, and salads. They didn't hVe sandwiches but that could be because it was later in the day. Price: 3.5/5 The quiche was $17.00, orange juice 9.00, BUT the quiche is kinda was big. Would I get it? Probably not, lol. The cookies are 4.00 each, and pretty worth it. They're big and pretty good! It is airport prices, and in my opinion the cheesecake, cookies, and danishes are worth it! All around: 4.5/5 The food menu is very small, they don't have a huge drink menu either, but it's still worth going to! The service was outstanding from the 3 people there, and it was really clean! I'd you stop by, the cheesecake is delicious!!!! Also- calories do not count in the airport ;)

Earthy themed, very welcoming and visually appealing Caffé! Their Espresso Martini and Cheesecake we're the perfect treat before catching my flight. The bartender was very polite and reassured me that he wanted to make sure I enjoyed my drink, it was delicious! Can't wait until I'm back at LAX to get the opportunity to came back.

I have a nostalgic love for Urth Caffe and the LAX location always lures me in - despite the crazy airport prices. This is the only boba you can get in the terminal and it's not bad! The boba is gummy-like and somewhat firm. The sweetener they use reminds me of Stevia... but in a good way? Of their pastries, I recommend the fruit danishes! The berries are always so fresh and hit the spot. I like to give these to loved ones as a souvenir from LA. The English Tea Latte is very sweet, but I still enjoy it. Pretty good with boba.

I'm glad they have an Urth cafe in LAX because they have all the essentials and they're a lot quicker than some of the other coffee places there. They even have some of the classic baked goods including a fruit danish which totally hit the spot. I was glad that they heated it as well. Coffee tasted good and gave me just the right amount of morning wake up call that I needed. The staff were friendly and super efficient, which I really appreciated as I was getting ready to board my plane when I needed my morning coffee. There's plenty of seating space which was ideal especially at a crowded airport like LAX. I think this will become my designated airport coffee station.

Party of one around 7p on a Sunday so the place was pretty empty. They were ready to close up for the night and I saw a couple people in front of me try to order and then walk away so not sure what that was about. What I swallowed: *RASPBERRY AND BLUEBERRY FRUIT DANISH: I was craving something sweet and this hit the spot. I asked for it heated and it was like burning when I received it. The pastry was flaky, the cream was delicious and the fruit was on point. Really like this treat before my flight. I was happy with my little treat.

Got a breakfast burrito and was asked "would you like to add avocado?" The picture is their definition of "add." That plus having virtually no pastry options other than cakes and the staff being ambivalent makes this place a hard pass

You got options in the LAX terminal but not a huge abundance. I was trying to find a healthier option. Que music for this restaurant. They had a vegan sprouted sandwich and kombucha. Definitely recommend getting the sandwich warmed up. I've seen the restaurant completely nuts and then with hardly anyone in it. I enjoyed my meal and the staff was friendly.

Online says open at 4:00 am but the employees told me 4:15 so I waited until 4:15 watching 6 employees standing around. I approached the register at 4:15 and they still were not ready to open.

Absolute rip off and not good at all. Paid $10.58 yesterday for the worst Cafe mocha i've ever had. I don't think they train their employees on how to prepare the food or make simple coffee drinks. Don't waste your time here. Just another spot to fleece tourists as they come/go from LAX

Ridiculously expensive even for an AirPort, cappuccino with almond milk for 10 dollars and they don't even have cinnamon powder...

What a cute little place in the airport! I got the fruit danish, which was a reasonable price ($5.80 before tax) for a large and decently tasty pastry. I definitely recommend it! My friend also got what I think was a Spanish latte and she said it was delicious. We got our food/drink pretty quickly and the staff were also very friendly!

Urth Caffe and Bar is located in the Southwest Terminal - Terminal 1 of LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). The spot is right above the escalators as you are entering or exiting the airport past TSA. There is a bunch of different teas, coffees and pastries to choose from. I always enjoy getting the blended matcha. It only comes in a size large. The straws are paper straws so don't take too long to drink you're drink or your straw will fall apart on you. Definitely come here for your morning drinks/food if you are flying SWA.

pricey bc of LAX airport prices but a nice cafe, workers r nice ! i got the rising sun matcha latte with cocoa powder on top, it was p good, and it's quiet to work at also

It's Urth Caffe at LAX, so don't expect the true Urth experience (or service for that matter). But all things considered, this terminal grab-and-go location is not nearly as horrible as these Yelp reviews make it out to be. Expect a long time, but any decent food location at LAX is going to have a long-line. The bagel place next-door had an even longer line, so take your pick. We waited about 10-minutes in line before an early morning flight around 7 AM. Service was ok. Not friendly but they kept the line moving efficiently, which what matters most in this environment. They did not have espresso coffee available this day for whatever reason. I'm assuming it was because their espresso machine broke down. We got a croissant and cookie, both of which were pretty good! The croissant had the right amount of buttery flavor and the cookie was not too sweet. For "airport breakfast", this is probably as good as you are going to get.

On my hunt for good coffee, this seemed to be the only place within LAX terminal A that offered a decent cappuccino while traveling. The only issue was that there was too much milk, but the texture was proper. The staff were the typical super busy airport workers (not too friendly, but understandable). The ambiance was nice and well thought out.

The service is great and quick. They have a lot of baked goods, looking yummy. Even for the Mocha beverages, there are 3 choices on top of cold vs hot. The ambiance is hip. Well-designed cup sleeves to match the look and feel of the floor tiles

This is mostly for the bartender who would be there with a smile and conversation every Thursday evening on my return home from working in SF. He always was pleasant and made a great vodka cran with a splash of lime. I've only ever had drinks here so I don't know how the food measures up to the service.

super disrespectful. i asked for a mocha and it was not to my liking, so i asked for something different. The attitude i received is unacceptable. unless you want to get treated with disrespect i do not recommend.

Urth Caffe always has a special place in my food heart, but not the LAX location. Nope. Staff is already unfriendly. I've been here 3x. The older gentleman making drinks is an exception though. He's super nice. They never have most things on their menu, anytime of day you go. I always order Spanish Latte (it's a must). HOWEVER, the iced version, they only have the large size. AND, you can't get Decaf if it's iced. So... there's that. They seem to have a full coffee station, but can't figure out a way to simply modify drink size or amount of caffeine. If you're thinking of ordering from here in a pinch, I'd order the Iced Spanish Latte. However, if you want the full experience, do NOT try the LAX location. Yelp 2022 Challenge: 14/40

Unfortunately consistently unfriendly service and the coffee cup are low quality so the coffee drips when you drink it. It happened several times. I will stick to the real coffee place who specialize only on coffee

good danish but pricey. the workers there did not seem very friendly or happy to be there. if your at the airport stop by grab a danish and come coffee

I dread eating at the airport, particularly now that I'm vegan. I know I'm going to spend a lot of money no matter what, it would just be nice if every so often I got a delicious return on that investment. Today it felt like I did, for the first time in a while. I ordered the vegan sprout sandwich complete with alfalfa sprouts, tomato, red onion, vegan cheese, and some hummus-type spread on sourdough. The staff asked if I wanted it warmed up and I said yes, which was a good choice because the cheese got all melty. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised by the tastiness and freshness. The "Grateful Heart" herbal tea I ordered was a unique blend and just what I needed to hydrate in the middle of a long travel day. I found a quiet spot in the corner of the seating area to sip with my mask off. I appreciated the soft lighting and greenery that added a zen element to my lunch among the chaos of LAX. When I pass through LAX again, I'll be sure to hit up this "caffé" for another vegan sprout sandwich.

Breakfast before flying out to lax...very long line. Very slow. Ordered 3 quiche for 3 of us. They gave us one. We had to request and show receipt twice before the others came. Dinner when returning...(all else was closed or whatever) no line friendly woman took order. We sat to wait and I saw no evidence that our food was being heated so I went to "hover." Though there were also 2 men "working" one was watching tv in the bar area. I am not sure where the other went. The woman came over and asked what we had ordered. I reminded her and she said no problem; I guess I have to do everything (in referencevto the other employees, not to me) and soon our food was ready. As far as I could tell shevwas the only one actually serving customers The food was ok. Quiche crust was too had but egg part was flavorful. Turkey and curry sandwiches were fine. Cookies (choc chip, triple chocolate, oatmeal) were quite nice. We don't expect high quality and we do expect high prices and long lines at airports but this was unacceptable.

The most overpriced poor airport food of all time! $14 for oatmeal! This is insane. Really crappy coffee! Terrible tea! Don't! Just Don't!!

We had an early flight out of LAX and Urth Cafe was open at 4am. It was busy at such an early hour. It is a beautiful cafe offering delicious pastries and specialty coffee. However, I do struggle to justify the value for a $10 medium Spanish coffee!

This place has amazing salads, avocado toast, and best of a banging green tea boba. It is mixed with matcha and when blended is the reason I come back all the time. The ambiance is great and I love the brick, fireplace and vintage Spanish themed seating. The service is a little slow, but there is a ton of people all the time so it's all good, but just keep that in mind.

The danish and a latte was good but do not order here unless you have a lot of wait time. For this location to be at the airport the workers snail paced output might have you miss your flight. The line was long so I decided to use the mobile app. After I submitted my order through the app, it said that my order would take 20 minutes. No worries, considering that's about how long I figured it would take if I waited in line. I arrived at the mobile pick up counter on time...waited about 5 more minutes. Finally someone asked "what was was I waiting for?". When I told her, she began to make my drink and grab my items (another 5 minutes).

Oh my goodness, this was horrible. We eat at the Urth near us and the quality there is much higher. Today, at this airport location, we paid $50 for an oatmeal, a burrito, and two Americanos. The Americanos were watered down to within an inch of their lives and when my husband asked for another one, it was the same. Yes, we know what Americanos are. They should have THIS much water. The oatmeal was made with water and was too gelatinous; the strawberries were sour. There wasn't enough granola. The $14.45 burrito was small but decent. Very disappointing.

My breakfast burrito and "Spanish latte" was $20. DO NOT GET BREAKFAST HERE. GO TO CHICK FI LA OR EINSTEIN BAGELS. Breakfast burrito was bad testing; literally out of the freezer and into the oven. Spanish latte was a complete lie -- basically watered down coffee. Even looking beyond the overpriced food, simply do not even think this place is close to Urth caffe that you know. ITS NOT. DONT COME HERE.

Stopped by for a iced matcha latte with boba and the boba was whack. It was very hard. In a rush as my ride was here so I couldn't ask them re-make without. Drink seemed too sweet too. I'd order half sweet in the future. Bro got the iced Spanish latte and his was straight diabetes. It was 200% sweet!!! Can we get some coffee with this I'd save my money in the future

I ordered a chicken curry sandwich. I was told my sandwich would be toasted, not completely heated and I received it burning hot. It was supposed to come with lettuce and tomatoes and it did not. I ordered a green tea iced latte, which usually comes unsweetened or you can ask to sweeten. They sweetened it. Was difficult to get anyone's attention to fix my drink as they were all chatting away. Lastly, I bought a cookie and it was hard as a rock and cold out of the fridge. Was unfortunately a $40 meal for a sandwich, cookie, drink that I could not enjoy.

Not the best but not the worst. Wildly expensive, but I can't knock too much for that being in 1. California and 2. An airport. I got an iced latte and it was sooooooo sweet. I like sweet coffee honestly but it seemed overly so. Not well balanced but it served its purpose when I needed coffee in a pinch.

9 am on a Sunday, airport not very busy. Wait in long line 15 min for the honor of buying a $16 breakfast burrito. get to register to order and...they have. No. More. Breakfast. Items. ok stuff happens NBD but maybe there's long line of people with flights to catch might wanna know that this breakfast cafe has no breakfast just a thought ‍

I must've had a brain freeze and forgotten what a bad experience this place was. The tea was so weak I asked for my money back they wouldn't give me a second teabag even though it was obvious that it was just colored water. Very disappointing I don't know if the one in the city is this bad but I would not suggest the one at the airport. Not a good coffee experience great I guess if you want pastries and you're used to airport quality food but not a good experience overall I'm going to the coffee Bean.

I was so excited that they opened an Urth caffe in terminal 1. Definitely a bit of a smaller selection, but good enough for the wary traveler on their way back home to L.A. Grabbed a breakfast item and a hazelnut torte, because how could I resist? It definitely made my flight.

Where does one start? I suppose at the beginning. It's 6 am Thanksgiving weekend, the most heavy travel weekend of the entire year, and two individuals are working (who's staffing this place) Upon waiting close to 35 minutes for the lady at the front to help 5 people (she was taking about 6 minutes per customer) it's my turn. You would think due to the name, caffe, that this place makes fancy coffee drinks. Oh heck no they don't. I order a mocha, one of the pillars of coffee beverages, and the lady YELLS into the rest of the line "WE DONT MAKE MOCHAS HERE OR LATTES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT." Confused, I ask what they do make and she rudely replies "coffee". So I get a coffee and move down the line. The lady behind me Orders a green tea latte from the other lady working and SHE GETS ONE! I look at the lady that assisted me and kindly say "hey she got a green tea latte, I thought you didn't make those." She ROLLS her eyes at me and responds "we don't". I understand you hate your job but it's 5 am and people are tired and looking for coffee. If you aren't morning person, stay in bed. Also, LOOK AT THE MACHINE! Definitely looks like she could make fancy drinks and is LAZY and didn't want to. Worse service ever and their prices are expensive ON TOP OF THAT. Save yourself the trouble and go to Chick-fil-A or Einstein or anyway else really.
