“If your going to get the BEST, expect long lines (to the lady who whined) yummmmmmmy yummmmmmy it was sooooooooo good! See you again real soon.“

“I live in Colorado and never heard of Alpha Coffee. I visited Salt Lake City, and friend recommended we meet at the downtown location. I ordered an "Aztec" and it was great. Something different, new and tasty for me. I liked the drink, the vibe and the servers ... the whole experience was great! I look forward to my next visit to SLC. I'll stop at Alpha again - to try the Poly! :)“

“My friend got these for my baby shower and they were SO good. I think they got the peanut butter and Oreo topping. I would eat these every day if I could!!!! Would give 5 stars if the app would let me but I can’t because they offer non-vegan items. Updated from previous review on 2025-01-08“

“Crumbl stores are always clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff is friendly and efficient, making pickup quick and easy. The cookies are always fresh and delicious, though some flavors can be hit or miss. Overall, a great spot for a sweet treat!“

“October 13, 2022, my sister and I went to Leatherby's for lunch at 12:10 p.m. We order a Philly cheese steak sandwich, and we waited 20 minutes for it, it was barely warm. It had hardly and meat, green peppers, onions on it! I said to the waiter this Philly cheese steak sandwich was on the Menu said The BEST Seller. It had nothing is on it; he took it back and (they probably spit on it) when came back it STILL hardly had any meat etc. on it! It was the worst Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich!!! Service VERY Poor! Food VERY POOR!!!“

“Was looking for FroYo late on a Saturday. Googled it and chose the top rated location. It was about a 17 minute drive from my place, a couple cities away, but totally worth it! They have a good variety of yogurt flavors and lots of toppings and sauces. They also have two non-dairy yogurt options! The owner (I believe she was the owner) was super friendly and sweet. We had a fun conversation about our dogs. Will be back again.“

“I've been here several times, always a treat, and have never left a review. Located in great part of town, just love 9th and 9th. The gelateria itself has just an assortment of arts and ceramics and decorations. The seating area is super cozy. Some tables and chairs and some couches - that could swallow you whole if you let them they are so squishy. The gelato is great, very creamy. I think the best gelato in Salt Lake. The serving size is great too, they usually pack it in and over the top of the cup. Thanks to the owners and workers of this shop!“

“Best Carmel sauce in the world. Please, please, pretty please start accepting door dash an/or Uber eats.“

“Seriously an incredible place to be during any occasion. One of my favorites. This place offers season treats as well as more than just gelato. I highly suggest the Lemon and Salted Caramel- but thats just me. Anyone can and will fall in love with this place.“

“My go-to crepe cake place!“

“Always great service and food. Alexa and Tomas run a wonderful ice cream shop“

“Blacksmith Ice Cream Co. is our go-to ice-cream place in SLC. They have a large upstairs loft that can fit larger groups. Fun and friendly atmosphere! They have flavors of the month if you want to try something new. You can get to-go pints/quarts for ice cream at home or an event. They have ice-cream that accommodate some dietary preferences which is always a win.
** (I believe they had both dairy free and vegan options, but I would call and double check if this applies to you.)“

“I am SOOOOOOOO excited that they are back! The best shaved ice I've ever found, such unique flavor pairings and yummy add ins! The topper is the ladies who run it. They are so sweet, helpful and patient. A1 on customer service!“

“this is best Gelato in town“

“me gustó el helado de mango 🥭“

“Darling workers that were really nice to us!“

“I love snow cones they are so yummy and delicious“

“super rico !!! super recomendados!“

“this is simply amazing ice cream and clean imoression“

“The ice creams are amazing. There are many options for toppings. Place is so clean! I absolutely love this place!“

“What a fun place! Loved watching them create such a wonderful dessert! Highly recommend!“

“Buen servicio y Agradable“

“This is my favorite Handel’s location! It’s perfect if you have kids—you can bring them on summer nights or in the fall to hang out on the little patio area in front and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s also great for a casual date night. The staff is friendly, though sometimes a little slow and the girls at the counter can seem a bit confused at times. Still, it’s a great spot to enjoy some ice cream!“

“Love their caramel apples!“

“I ordered a cake for my kiddos birthday and the service was fantastic! The cake exceeded my expectations and looked fantastic! They were more than happy to accommodate and made her day so special! It was the focal point of the party! Can’t say enough good things!!!“

“This place is so fun. You choose your type of frozen yogurt and then add your toppings and pay based off weight. Kids love it. Remember to buy a water when you check out because for whatever reason froyo makes ya THIRSTY.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love a make-your-own sundae bar.“

“The horchata, diablitos, and tosti locos are so good 10 10 would recommend.“

“Can’t believe we didn’t try this place sooner! Some of the BEST soft serve ice cream in Utah— so creamy and not overly sweet & the portions are huge (this was the half cup!)

We got the salted maple and it was out of this world! They have a smaller, but more intentional menu, and there’s tons of fun toppings to add on. They also have “Composed Cones” that are a combination of flavors and toppings!

They switch out their flavors each month, so we can’t wait to go back and try everything else that they create!“

“Mmmm I didn’t know I loved it until I tried it. ❤️“

“great for anyone who loves ice cream.....This is Utah, we are obsessed.“

“ay de todo en un solo lugar“

“Surprised at all the 5 stars.
The good: friendly staff & inclusive place.
The bad: smelled awful, the actual tea was just okay and it took a long time for our order and we were the only ones waiting.

Again, nothing against the workers they were great, and sad to post this, but we were visiting from out of town and went out of our way to go so if you're local it's fine just nothing special.“

“My team was doing a mobile clinic next door so I thought I'd take a chance and see if I could purchase some. The kind gentleman there gifted us a couple boxes. It was generous and soooooo delicious. Just what we needed for an afternoon pick-me-up! Thanks again!“

“Chocolate chip ice cream was delicious“

“Four year search for authentic Italian Neapolitan pizza, found the perfect place in Holladay, limited menu of well executed food, warm friendly service. Open limited days and times, but worth adding as a regular night out“

“I really adore their different types of ice cream sweet treat combinations they come up with some really interesting ones stuff that you really don't think would mix but they really do go together I hate a dark chocolate before I had they're vanilla cone dipped in dark chocolate now it's like my favorite thing to get and it's so good it's so satisfying.“

“Delicious cookies every time! Always consistent, fresh, and full of flavor. I love the secret menu and the rotating dessert menu. Always fun to try something new, even though my favorite is the classic chocolate chip.

The customer service is friendly and efficient.“

“At first, I was completely put off because their weren’t prices listed. I immediately felt I was going to be overcharged. I asked the sweet lady for prices, and she obliged happily. It was the most I’ve ever paid for a boba and I’ve drank them all over. Even on Waikiki Beach they weren’t so expensive. So, why 5 stars? The brown sugar milk tea with traditional Boba was the best boba I have ever had! It was so good I am considering going back tomorrow before I leave town! Good job, Hello Boba. Still too much $$ for boba, but goodness, it is tasty!“

“This place was so fun. Such a fun experience. We enjoyed everything except the apple pie chai. We would get a different drink next time. Everything else was fantastic and the employees were so nice, helpful and explained everything really well. Such a fun and unique place to try.“

“Our favorite frozen yogurt place by far- the dole whip is my favorite and actually tastes like the dole whip at Disney.“

“This crumble is always fun. They tend to have the the best tasting cookies for some reason. Definitely give me the best experience out of all the other stores.“

“Best Dubai chocolate I have found. They use real ingredients, no fillers!“

“Crumbl is awesome! Thanks to Sophia for the great service!“

“It's just fun to be out there with you guys and pretend to be normal again“

“Loved the vibe, cutest donut shop ever. Friendly and fun staff. Unique and delicious treat "Smashed donuts" my new favorite desert.“

“Cold Stone Creamery, it's not just ice cream; it's a taste victory. The mix-ins are like a tactical assault on your palate, creating an unbeatable flavor experience. The ice cream itself is a champion, smooth and powerful. This place doesn't settle for ordinary – it's a warrior in the dessert arena. If you want a treat that packs a punch, Cold Stone is where you unleash your taste warrior.“

“I was in town and stopped by the Vineyard location. Loved the soft serve; I got the nuts for chocolate flavor 🤤 So good. Look forward to going next time I’m in UT Valley!“

“Home-cooked dishes and very hospitable service! A place you can call home for Filipino cuisine in Salt Lake Utah 🇺🇸 after long days of interstate road trip with my high-school besties now living in the USA- Lucila Hogston(Boonsboro, Maryland), Susan Capuli (Boston, Massachusetts) Beth Angelo Enriquez ( Salt Lake, Utah) and me Marilou Tomacruz Carlos ( San Francisco, California) our cravings for Filipino food kicked in! And we were satisfied just like Nanay’s home cooking. Will give them 5 stars for delectable filipino dishes and excellent service. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’m always one to recommend Nelson’s but just went there tonight and had a very negative experience... Me and my mom were up for a treat and we decided to go to Neilsen, knowing they close at 10pm we hurried over and got into the drive through at 9:57 we were second in line. Just a few minutes later we pulled up to the window just as the clock stuck 10 and the young lady at the window said “what can I get for you?” and we said “do you have chocolate” she said “yes” we proceeded and asked for a chocolate cone and a vanilla concrete. The young lady them said “All we have is frozen quarts and pints, sorry were closed” (despite having asked us what we wanted, oh and the OPEN sign was still on) we were a bit confused because we’ve been waiting since before they closed. I tried to explain that we were waiting in line before you closed. Let’s just say they could care less that I didn’t get my frozen custard. All in all not very happy about what happed hope this situation can get fixed by simply blocking the drive through and take care of the existing costumers ect.“
