All this bad eating has been catching up with me lately. All the ribs, burritos and desserts have left me in a food coma that has pretty much taken away my will to write. But still, we soldier on, because there are so many more places that we need to try and places that you need to know about.
In the next month, I will be moving to San Diego and hopefully giving you guys some great insights into the food down there. Mikey will continue to hold it down in the Ventura/L.A. areas and we may even be looking to add on some freelancers. I’ll leave that last part up to Mikey, since he’s the brains of the operation. Instead, I’ll just tell you about a little coffee shop I visited last weekend in Santa Monica.
Urth Caffe – On Main St. in Santa Monica
I think there are a few of these around, but it’s not a big chain so I figured I could review it for the site. This place is like a bar, except instead of booze and drunken wannabes it has organic coffees and caffeinated wannabes. It’s actually a pretty cool place and I stopped in with some friends to grab a coffee and some dessert.
This is in Santa Monica, right on main, so it’s a trendy spot. They even have a valet to park your car for you. I really wish Mikey and I had pulled up in his fly hoopty instead of showing up in my buddy’s tricked out truck. But maybe it was better that way. I felt like we only got into the place due to the coolness of my friend’s ride. (Thanks, J)
This place is hipster central. It’s swarming with emo kids and their Risky Business Ray Bans and cute girls meeting their “producer” boyfriends. But if you can get past all that, I think it’s worth a visit. First off, their coffee and teas are excellent, but the main reason I’d go is just to eat some more of their awesome desserts.
