Usually when you go out to eat, you have to make a choice between healthy fare or indulgent desserts.  Fortunately the Urth Caffé offers both.  With spinach salad, quiche, panini, and fresh soup, there are plenty of good choices with all-organic ingredients.  For dessert, there’s a changing selection of chocolate cake, carrot cake, cheesecakes, pies and pound cakes. To avoid the dilemma of choosing just one, select a few and share among yourselves.

The Urth Caffé is legendary for its organic coffee which has been declared “the best” by the Los Angeles Times, CitySearch, Los Angeles Magazine and Zagat’s.   When you order a cappuccino take a moment (and a picture!) to appreciate the artwork in the foam. 
  
With a few locations scattered around Los Angeles, the original and most popular Urth Caffé is located in West Hollywood on Melrose Avenue.  It’s also a prime place for people watching with celebrities and models. Cameron Diaz and Meg Ryan are regulars here.  You may have to look hard to find them because it can be very crowded at times.  Finding an available table either inside or outside on the terrace can be a challenge, so be prepared to wait or visit during an off peak time.
