Urli Bird Coffee Company - Los Angeles, California

For $6 I received a nitro cold brew that was maybe at most 2 ounces of actual coffee. It was practically all ice. To add insult to injury, it was topped off with more ice when the cup was initially not filled with enough actual coffee.

I know food prices have gone up and perhaps costs need to be cut to maintain a profit, but this is pretty ridiculous. I'm sure pouring a sensible amount of coffee for a coffee drink shouldn't be that expensive for the business. Perhaps I could've tried asking for no ice, but this was my first (and definitely last) time at this coffee shop and would have no way of knowing they would default to 90% ice for a nitro coffee drink. A good nitro cold brew doesn't even need ice.

I finished the drink in maybe 1.5 sips as there was nothing else but ice to munch on.

This is on top of having to wait around 5 minutes to place my order as the staff was talking with a Spectrum employee about some Internet issue. It would've been nice to at least some kind of acknowledgement that I was waiting while this was going on. There was nobody else waiting to place an order so I don't think they were terribly busy at the time.

It's definitely a hole in the wall that provides a homey and welcoming atmosphere with unusual alternative milk options. The coffee is superior grade and works well.

Had a great experience! I enjoyed my pistachio matcha and my husband liked his Spanish latte! Also had a pastry and their avocado toast which was delicious with feta cheese! Thank you!

This place serves art as a drink. You can taste the love and passion barista has for coffee. He will not burn your beans and mess with the taste. He complements the taste surgically and with precision. This place is amazing, if you love real coffee.

Tucked away at the back of Hill Street Bar & Restaurant is Urli Bird Coffee serving up tasty lattes, teas, and pastries! I stopped by for an iced Spanish latte with coconut oat milk ($6). It was well crafted and the perfect afternoon pick me up (even with decaf espresso!). Service was friendly and the space is compact, but there is seating outside for customers. I'd definitely go back to Urli Bird and highly recommend stopping by if in the area!

The coffee here is delicious, served in a beautifully decorated space. However, seating is limited since most of it is reserved for the restaurant area.

The Spanish latte was delicious and beautiful. Barista was friendly.

The cafe is located inside the restaurant but there weren’t many tables to sit at in the actual space—more of a grab and go place.

My younger brother has tried many coffees from Downtown Los Angeles. He specifically is an aficionado to the cortado. He found his match.

I went in and I was greeted by a gentleman behind the counter. I looked at the menu, same as Edwina has posted, and coincidentally asked for an iced Spanish latte with oat milk, Lol.

The first sip had me convinced! The taste, aroma, and pureness(is that a word?) of the latte had me fall in love with the taste! Instant gratification! Glad I made the purchase.

My younger brother suggested getting it hot next time as the artist behind the counter does not burn the latte but serves it hot. Hot to be enjoyed. Not hot to burn your tongue!

Mr. Barista, gentleman behind the counter, artist... Thank you! God bless!

Returning? Yes!
