While not as fresh as their pricier counterparts, the deal can’t be beat, especially considering these are gourmet, quality pastries and baked goods (not your stale, cheap-ass wannabes).Įven on a weekend, I rarely have trouble finding parking on a nearby residential street (2 hour max). What I also love: You can score half-priced, day-old “bake sale” pastries and mini-pies for around three bucks a pop, which is virtually half-priced. I usually get the chai, which doesn’t disappoint (and they have several “flavors,” too!). The drinks are a little overpriced, indeed. The yogurt/granola/fruit parfait is reasonably priced and delish. I like that they have so darn many breakfast options (their omelettes are a little odd – like an egg pizza, where the omelette part is the crust, and the cheese is piled on top). The food is pretty good, if a little pricey. My favorite spot is by the little fountain, but in the shade so you’re out of the often-boiling sun. While it’s always packed on the weekends (which is when I usually go), I never seem to have any trouble scoring one of their little cafe tables. It’s full of people on the weekends who, like me, sport that blissed-out, just-worked-out glow. UC is a little zen-kissed haven in the middle of Venice, but close enough to Santa Monica that it’s just a hop, skip and a jump. Urth Caffe is one of my favorite self-indulgent weekend brunch spots.
