Urth also serves nice Western-style breakfasts (egg dishes, breakfast burritos, smoked salmon plates, omelets, granola and organic oatmeal, all priced between ¥900-1600) and a selection of boba (bubble tea). We washed it down with the mixed juice (¥650), a blend of fruits and vegetables which probably gave our fruit-deprived selves our monthly ration of vitamins. Thick slices of campagnard bread filled with roasted aubergine, mushrooms, tomatoes and zucchini, topped with basil pesto, and accompanied with a light salad. We sampled the grilled veggie and pesto sandwich (¥1,250 for half), which was by far the best sandwich we’ve had in Japan. We tried the original blend with steamed milk (¥450), which came bird shaped latte art, and a surprisingly strong, rich taste.Īlthough the coffee is what defines Urth, the quality menu is equally attractive, and very “L.A.” – think huge, gorgeous green salads, hearty sandwiches, and Belgian waffles. The coffee brand is Mountain Gorilla coffee, and you can taste it in different forms. Urth is mostly known for its signature organic coffee, made with certified organically grown coffee beans, and its selection of fine teas. It’s been busy ever since the opening, and it’s easily becoming another Tokyo favourite – not only for the mouthwatering dishes, but for the general relaxed vibe and un-pretentious atmosphere, which may come unexpected in the heart of Daikanyama. Well, I get it, but it will be nice at least if he acknowledged me being flexible and rescheduling with them a week prior.Urth Caffe is a bit of a landmark in L.A., so it created a bit of a commotion when it opened a Tokyo branch last April and brought over its organic beans and healthy menu. After driving 30 minutes I got to the location where they handle the interviews, after looking for someone to talk to for 5 minutes as they had no one at the front desk I met one of the hiring team members without knowing what his position is, he did not have my resume, he did not have my name, just kept saying how many people he would be interviewing on that specific day, for me to understand that he is busy.

I kindly replied and accepted and confirmed the new date. A couple days before the interview date I got an email asking to reschedule for another day as their hiring team would not be available. I was contacted by their HR Recruiting Team and had a brief phone interview and got invited to in person interview which I confirmed. I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Urth Caffe (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2018 Interview I was there a total of 5 minutes and was told I would be contacted by 5pm that day with the next steps, which I did not receive.Īn interview should be not only a chance to learn about the candidate, but also a change for the company to show their best impression to the candidate, which did not happen. I was a little taken back by their presentations and their lack of reviewing my resume prior to my arrival. One was an HR representative and the other two where currently Area Supervisors. I was then offered the chance to ask questions where I asked who I was interviewing with. I walked into a room with three individuals who introduced themselves by name but not by position and I was asked a few very basic questions.


I was surprised a restroom closer wasn't offered. I arrived a little early and asked to use the restroom and was told I needed to walk to their restaurant a couple of block away. I called and spoke with someone with very limited English who asked be a few superficail questions and set me up with an interview but was unsure who I would be interviewing with. I received an email to call to schedule an interview if one had not been previously scheduled. I applied online. The process took 1 week.
