Urth Caffe has always been an LA staple when it comes to cute cafes with food. I'm so glad that they branched out to OC as well, so that way I can still enjoy their matcha without having to worry about the traffic to LA! Located in Laguna Beach right across from the ocean, Urth Caffe offers such a relaxing and coastal vibe in their little cottage. They have plenty of heated outdoor seating available, in addition to their cute interior seating. Parking is extremely limited, as they only have a small lot behind the establishment and the rest of it being street parking, which gets really crowded for the beach too.
My boyfriend and I came for dinner and shared their Mediterranean Platter, D'Lox Pizza, and their blended green tea with boba. This was a lot of food for the two of us, as we weren't the hungriest at the time. The pizza is definitely on the smaller size, and easily could be for a single individual. It was a classic pizza topped with fresh arugula and smoked salmon. This was a refreshing pizza to enjoy after a long day, but I will say it's very small for what you pay for. Is it delicious, definitely! But for me, this was more of a "treat yourself out" type of meal. The Mediterranean Platter was definitely larger and more of shareable size. It came with very freshly made hummus, olives, pita bread, feta cheese, artichokes, falaffels, couscous, and pickled bell peppers. I loved how the hummus was so fresh that you could really taste the garbanzo beans, rather than it just being flooded with olive oil. It was definitely a lighter meal to enjoy and a great one to share! The green tea with boba has always been a classic that I enjoy! I prefer it blended and I love how it's not overbearingly sweet. My one critique on the drink would be their boba -- it's not terrible but it's a little too hard for my liking.
Overall, Urth Caffe still remains such a classic spot to visit when in Southern California, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting and wanting to treat themself out to a cute meal, drink, and dessert!
