Rooted In Community

Welcome to Urban Paradiso! A coffee shop and outdoor eatery built on community, heritage, and heart. This urban paradise is nestled in the diverse 9th District and curated by Phillip James on land that has been in the James family for nearly a century.

Phillip has deep ties to the community and years of experience in L.A.’s dining scene ( to include owning the beloved Fork restaurant on Sunset Strip). With Urban Paradiso he’s bringing it home, creating a space were neighbors are always welcome to share a cup of coffee, a delicious meal, and good times.

Our mission is to bring people together with food to feed the soul. We serve American comfort fare and healthy food options that have long been overlooked in our part of the city.
