A growing cafe chain is soon coming to Austin, according to recent public records.
Planned for 104 Medina St, the construction of Urth Caffe Bakery will consist of “renovation to existing building (wd framed structure) to convert to a bakery commissary building.” The cost is estimated at $800,000 and is expected to reach completion by the end of April 2026.
“Urth Caffé began as Jilla and Shallom Berkman’s dream over 30 years ago. In 1989, they met a passionate coffee farmer named Jorge from a farm in Peru producing organic, heirloom coffee,” the official website states.
“The Berkmans were intrigued by Jorge’s mission. They discovered many destructive practices were used in coffee production that made it one of the most chemically treated food commodities in the world. Heirloom coffee trees are very rare and have never been genetically modified. The Berkmans decided to become pioneers in health-conscious coffee.”
Readers unfamiliar with the versatile brand can expect big breakfast plates, waffles, pancakes, and even pizza. Gluten free options are plentiful at Urth Caffe Bakery.
