Urth Caffé (Santa Monica)

Food 16: Santa Monica

I once tried to go to the Melrose branch but the crowd is just insane. I would stay with the west side branch (old entry here). The manager didn't seem to be there so no one scold me for taking photos of the food. :D

Bread Pudding with Cinnamon is really good! Even blended, their coffee is still strong flavor! (Green Tea Latte in front)

Soup + Salad set: Curry Chicken with Raisin, and Manhattan Clam Chowder. The latter is more tasty than it looks! It is like this one *q*, fine chopped ingredients with watery but creamy broth. The bread is very good.

Tuna Sandwich with Vegetarian Chili.

I saw a poster on the wall saying this place is run by energy generated from the solar panels on the roof!

Oh the non-vegetarians are reasonably happy in ChinaTown, but I am pretty much stuck with v. v oily and/or bland dishes ^^;;; Luckily Little Tokyo isn't far away. There are some restaurants in downtown we'd like to go too but parking= $$$ My two lunch buddies who used to work & thus park in downtown are missing their better (and LONGER) lunch hour days sorely as well. *cough* Anyway.

RP, aren't there many many delicious Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants around where you work? I crave that everyday.
Yeah seat it's another of those very LA healthy organic cafe with salad, panini, sandwich with some ethnic color Asian, Hummus, Mexican ...etc. ^^;; I saw the fruit plates other people ordered, quite good actually...it has fig and many exotic fruits (by American standard that is). Being tell not to take photo won't scare me ^^;; But then we came here because we were shopping around that area and this is the only good lunch spot. ^^;;; I would generally avoid eating 'sandwich' on weekend.

Haha green energy? That's good! The bread pudding looks really, really yummy. How I wish I work in either of you gals' area ^^;;;

The menu is basically sandwich and soup?
I am surprised you will go back to the shop where you got told off from taking pics!
But being environmental friendly is great...
