I also met the owner Shallom on Monday, he was very nice and accommodating. I am already friends with the staff and everyone is friendly. I think they are adjusting quickly and will serve the neighborhood just fine. The time limits and the lack of wifi make sense if they are super busy, however I think it will take a bit to get to that. What I really liked was the diversity of the clientele. Look for me here often, especially as they are three blocks from my gallery and home. Good seeing you Ed.

I really hope beverly hills is not coming to the arts district. otherwise it'd be a big mistake moving here.

The day has finally come! As a BB resident who has lived in the Arts District for a little over the year and has anxiously awaited the Urth opening ever since, I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have this little bit of extra fabulousness in the hood. I have been to Urth everyday this week and the best part isn't even the great coffee (which IS great!!) The best part is seeing my neighbors everyday! Urth is going to be a huge community builder and I welcome it!

I was just there on Saturday morning and the place is great. It was packed and yet the staff was friendly, relaxed and ver accommodating. They even kept coming back to give my little girls croissant and bread samples. The dolce latte was Delocioso!! :) Will definitely be returning.
