Cupcakes and Cashmere

Best Place on Urth

August 13th, 2008

For those of you who have yet to visit Los Angeles, jot down the name ‘Urth Caffe,’ since it’s not to be missed. Unlike most other eateries that are arbitrarily coined as hip, this place actually deserves the praise. Since this morning was abnormally chilly, my boyfriend and I decided to forgo our exercise plans in lieu of going out for breakfast. The coffee at Urth is rich, yet unbelievably smooth and each cup is a work of art. My Italia Cappuccino came with foam in the shape of a bird, and his Moroccan Mint Tea Latte was transformed into a floral shape. The food is equally as impressive, with all organic ingredients and one of the prettiest lox spreads I’ve ever seen.

    wow. I’ve seriously never seen anything like that!

    I love foam.

    I definately need to take a trip to LA. It has been at least 9-10 years since my last visit! NOW that I live in Africa… it’s a mission!

    looks like a glorious morning. enjoy.

    L.xx.
