Urth Caffe

Ordering at the counter can be a little hectic, and it’s sometimes hard to hear. I’d recommend ordering online for takeout or delivery if you can. They’ve added a few more gluten free options over the years.

I ate the corn waffles and didn’t get sick but also didn’t feel safe. The environment was very hectic and I had little confidence that my order would be correct. You order at the front then someone brings your food to you later. It felt more like a “gluten free for fun” than a “gluten allergy” oriented environment.

I told them many many times I have an allergy and they brought my meal with regular bread on the plate. I told them I can't have that, I have an allergy and I'll have a reaction and they took the bread off the plate and still tried to give it to me. I had to explain more times than I ever should have to that I will get sick if I eat this and I needed a fresh plate. I didn't have a reaction but I was still very uncomfortable with the situation.

Great food and atmosphere. Menu is HUGE. I do have a cross contamination concern with the grill but it’s my fault because I didn’t ask about it before I ate my breakfast tortilla. They have alot of gf options and will answer any questions you have. The latte is delicious. Pet friendly too!!

Got the avocado toast on gluten free bread and açaí bowl with gluten free granola. Both were DELICIOUS. All sandwiches (which they have a ton of) can be served on gluten free bread.

Tons of outdoor seating so great for times like this when that’s the only option.

Had the honey latte with oat milk and had a reaction! Not safe

Celiac friendly?

No

Not safe, and not good either.

Celiac friendly?

No

Complete deer in headlights at the ordering counter. Two employees repeated the words "gooten? Gluten?" Multiple times.

Celiac friendly?

No

Only one item which seemed safe enough. Tamales.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was ok. Green tea delicious. They are not very aware about gluten allergies and cc...

Celiac friendly?

No

Friendly staff. But this is not safe for people who have a serious allergy

Celiac friendly?

No

Not celiac friendly. Manager said everything is cross contaminated. I didn't eat here. 5 stars for honesty.

Very delicious. Lots of selections to choose from. A bit pricey in my opinion for the small portions, but due to the organic ingredients it's understandable.

They have gluten free bread options!!! Great cafe.

Got sick on GF muffin. Don’t recommend risking it.

Loved this place! I got a chai latte and the GF corn pancakes with bananas & walnuts. Everything was so yummy! The pancake was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The corn on top looks strange but, it tastes great. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My family enjoyed their pastries and meals too. Easy walk to Santa Monica pier from here. Definitely recommend.

They do not have a separate waffle maker for the gluten free waffle! They had no idea what was gluten free for toppings. She said they would clean the grill to make the pancakes.

I hadn’t been back to Urth since my celiac diagnosis. I was really looking forward to their food. When I mentioned my celiac, the cashier took out a book that had all the ingredients of all their foods in it. I was very impressed. We ruled out 2 meals that seemed gluten free. I ordered the Nicoise Salad as he said they could make it without croutons. When it arrived, it had 2 pieces of bread on it. I was starving by then so I ate the salad on the other side. I feel totally sick now. Frustrating.
