Another day, another afternoon whiled away in French conversation with my dear French friend. This time we met at Urth Caffe, younger sister of the well-known cafe on Melrose.
You can count on having a good experience here (although it will be Wi-Fi free). The music is eclectic, always a plus in my book. The coffee is specific (when you get cappuccino, you're asked whether you want a strong or a mild espresso). It's also organic, fair trade and delicious.
My cookie was both vegan and tasty. My friend liked his fruit salad. Service was solicitous and friendly. To top it all off, there's much less of a scene here than at the Urth Caffe in West Hollywood.
I highly recommend parking at the lot just to the north on the east side of the street. Parking is free for 2 hours before 6 pm. Once again, however, we French conversationalists had more than 2 hours worth of stuff to talk about. So I did have to pay for parking.
