50 Best Coffee Shops near North Salt Lake

“I always have such a positive experience at this Starbucks location. The food is great, the service is outstanding, and the staff is top quality. Life has been challenging lately as I go through a divorce, losing my home I loved, while caring for my elderly parents, my sister who is disabled and bedridden, and my 18-year-old senior dog. With so much on my plate, it means the world to start my mornings here. A friendly smile, delicious food, and kind people truly set the tone for my day and give me the energy to care for my family and keep going.

A special thank you to Lindsay—she is a bright spot in my mornings and makes it easy to find my smile in hard times and on hard days.“

“I just want to thank you again for such a wonderful offering last night at the supper party. I am so pleased with the vibe, the food, YOU! Just wanted to say thank you again.“

“Best bread in the valley!“

“Love having a local coffee shop close to home! This place has the best blended iced chai around! The owners are down to earth and are very welcoming. They have greenery everywhere in the store, couches to lounge on and places to get work done if needed. Cheers to creating such a beautiful, relaxing space! I visit often!“

“Dropped by for the first time! Great tasting coffee, nice decor, great workers! Even met the owner Jake, wonderful guy. They are also building an outdoor patio, can’t wait to also sit outside! Drop by for a great experience and make new friends.“

“Thanks Kings Peak for helping us with our Annual Celebration for our company! Your coffee was a hit! -- Utah Key Real Estate!“

“Great atmosphere with great workers! Their coffee was good I definitely recommend the one they are known for. Bakery items were good too. I had the cinnamon roll. I wish I didn’t live in Phoenix, Arizona otherwise I would make Roots my daily coffee joint!“

“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! :)“

“Edit: changing my review because I went back today and service was quick and exceptional! They had quite a few more people working from what I could see. Strawberry matcha latte was delicious, and they were able to make changes to my friend's drink to meet his vegan restrictions.

Original review:
Every drink I've had has been great and while it is a little pricey, I understand and appreciate the quality ingredients being used (I watched as the local milk delivery happened and can see that they are supporting local businesses, which is great).

But the long waits in line are what have me hesitating a next visit. Every time I go, I wait at least 7-10 minutes just to place an order. Not because theres a long line, but because they have on person up front taking orders AND making drinks. And then it takes another 7-10 minutes to get my drink. Wish you would figure out your work flow a little better.“

“Went there today Great coffee, personable staff & very mellow atmosphere“

“Excellent customer service with an awesome selection of tea and food. I love the atmosphere and the fact that the are accepting of everyone, especially the LGBTQ+ Community.“

“Many amazing coffee drinks to try! Highly recommend!“

“Best chai tea I've ever had!“

“Great shop, extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff who mine and/or source everything in the shop firsthand. I'm just a basic hobby collector but I like knowing where my stuff comes from and its history, and ever moreso I like collecting local items and especially buying local. This shop checks all the boxes. 😁👍👍“

“Love Sugarhouse Coffee! My favorite local coffee shop.“

“10/10 recommend! The best coffee, prices and barista’s ever!!“

“Absolutely delicious coffee and breakfast bagel. Love the vibe of the place. Feels like home!“

“TENET is the cutest place! It’s connected to Torrent Cycle and I met the owner Mike and he’s so kind! I got a fresh pumpkin muffin right out of the oven and it was DIVINE. So flavorful and moist. I also loved their zucchini muffin. I ordered the PBC chocolate peanut butter shake because it has 33g of protein and it did not disappoint. This place is tucked away and is truly a hidden gem of Salt Lake! Definitely worth stopping by. I want to try their paninis next time.“

“I am a tea drinker so was excited to try this place and I was not disappointed , It was clean and the staff very friendly. I will be going back to try the other wonderful flavors they have!“

“Overall nice atmosphere, nice space. Service was good.“

“New favorite coffee place! Super accessible, delicious drinks, food, and everyone that works there brings good energy. Keep an eye out for their monthly specials too �“

“I was passing through Salt Lake for a few days. Of the two coffee place I tried while here I loved this place way more. I tried the Chai Latte, Mexican Mocha, and a Vanilla Latte. They were all very well made and tasty.

This place also has a great vibe. There is this sticker machine upstairs. The machine only takes quarters so make sure to bring your change. I was too chicken to ask for change. So don’t forget quarters!

One more update the restroom has pads and tampons. I appreciate when places do this. It feels like they care in their customers. A small thing but it shows that they’re run by a human being.“

“We do not dine out often due to the poor food quality of many restaurants; however, when our friends found this organic, gluten-free diner, I was intrigued. The food was an absolute celebration of life. Delectable delights danced on an ambrosial causeway of artistic creation few eateries achieve. Our table ordered a variety of entrees and drinks. We started with complimentary chips, avocado and verde sauce. Very tasty. For the main course, I choose enchiladas and was curious about the horchata (rice milk soaked in cream with cinnamon), so I had this as well. Normally, I do not order specialty drinks, but their horchata was an exceptional experience as was the hand-squeezed limeade. I highly recommend both. Reading many of the other reviews that criticized the room temperature water, the service, and the ambiance, I must adamantly disagree. The best temperature for water when dining is room temperature. And their water is finely filtered and refreshing. The service may be perceived as slow, but I love being left to chat and laugh with my party. I relish this time. A meal out should be relaxing in a friendly, pleasant atmosphere without feeling rushed—and it was. The dining area is a little noisy, like most restaurants in this country. As an experienced sound engineer, I would recommend some sound absorbers blended into the corners, some appropriate picturesque art absorbers on the walls, and maybe a row of carpet down the main walkway to absorb sound and define the lovely wait staff’s path. The price: well worth it. You will not be disappointed. Spend without regret, and enjoy the articulation of tastes that shall frolic upon thy palate. Thank thee for a wondrous dining experience for a traveling bard, Frosty“

“Overall nice atmosphere, nice space. Service was good.“

“This is simply the best cappuccino I’ve ever had. The ambience is amazing, the art on all of the walls is excellent, and we enjoy your time here every Wednesday morning at 1,000,000 cups where Julio provides the best handcrafted coffee for all of us with a smile.“

“excellent coffee and staff, always a good atmosphere and rarely too busy! their seasonal drinks are always a fun and creative surprise.“

“The coffee is always quality with a rotating selection of seasonal concoctions. Baristas are always attentive, kind, and eager to chat. Lattes are their forte, but their drip coffee is also delicious. Well worth a trip during the Summer for their patio as well.“

“Best coffee in Utah. I hadn’t been into coffee as much UNTIL I tried Urban Sailor’s coffee. I’m hooked! Bye Starbucks, forever! I’ll be supporting my local brewer from now on, not only is it tastier, it’s a family owned and operated business, love that! (I also really like their chai tea. I enjoyed the option to make mine more spice than sweet, making it on point!). Random but, have you seen their video with @KeanuReeves? 😍“

“Always have a great experience at Coffee Garden. A 9th & 9th fave. AAA+“

“Looking for a fun coffee spot on the west side? This is it. Delicious signature drinks with a 🇲🇽 twist: Azúcar cappuccino Mexican mocha (my ❤️… half sweet) Horchata latte Cafe de olla Chocolate abuelita Mazapán latte They also serve pan dulce, alfajores, and other dainty delicacies. Also their chilaquiles… OMG!!! Must try. 😋 I’m a regular here so stop by and say “Hola Carlitos!” ¡Que rico! ☕️“

“Publik Space was the perfect event space for our concert. They were easy to work with, the ambiance was incredible, and the location was easy to access. Looking forward to future performances there!“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this place. I tried a friend’s iced vanilla latte a few months ago and was immediately hooked! It’s easily the best coffee in Salt Lake City, the espresso is incredibly rich and smooth. Plus, the staff is super friendly. Highly recommended!“

“FANTASTIC breakfast croissants & caramel macchiato!!!“

“Tenet café is such a nice extension of Torrent's studio. Love their smoothies and coffee options. The rotating specialty drinks are delicious. Highly recommend stopping here - whether or not you're going to workout. Thanks, Tenet!“

“MiaoMiao Cafe is such an amazing spot for cat lovers! 🐾 The space is super clean, cozy, and welcoming, and the owners are so kind and clearly care deeply for their cats. The café and cat house are in two connected houses (separate spaces), and you can bring your drink inside when you visit the cats. All of the cats were sweet, playful, and cuddly you can tell they’re well-loved. They even had kittens available when we went! Just a heads up: not everything on the food menu may be available, but honestly, the coffee and drinks are 10/10, and that alone made it worth it for us. We didn’t get to try the food this time, but we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and heartwarming experience!“

“WE ARE IN HEAVEN!! Coffee and EXTRAORDINARY TACOS!! TACOS ARE LIT!! 🔥 Tortillas that melt in your mouth and sauce you just want to drink because it’s so delicious!! We are taco snobs being Texas natives from San Antonio and coffee snobs!! It’s a hells yes from us!!!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owners and workers are incredibly kind, the food and drinks are FABULOUS and the atmosphere is so cozy and unique compared to the other coffee shops in Salt Lake. Genuinely one of the best lattes we’ve had in the area and you have to try the lemon Thai tea!“

“Great staff! Great coffee! Great food! Can’t get better! (Could have more seating haha).“

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“The best peanut butter paprika cookie!!!“

“Scrumptious coffee! i love the service“

“What an amazing breakfast we had. We filled the entire square table with all our dishes. We all agreed the French toast was dynamite. It isn’t trying to be fancy, just fluffy, delicious French toast. The sourdough bread also top notch. (Comes buttered). The porridge was great, but comes with peanut butter mixed in. The avocado toast - they also kept simple, but really, really great, fresh sliced tomatoes and I had over easy eggs on top. Two types of hot sauce on the table. My husband loved his corned beef omelette and my friend loved the breakfast burrito, he called it gourmet! Two thumbs up, 5 stars for sure and I’m a very picky food gal.“

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“Lovely spot for good coffee and feeling of community. Great music and even better service.“

“I love everything about Logos! Their baristas. Their coffee. The shop! I highly recommend that you stop by for a latte!“

“I stopped in for the first time and I am unaware what which craft they put into the frozen mocha, but, Java Jo's now owns my soul... the perfect blend of mocha and espresso. we need a Jo's in West Valley“

“very impressed with this place from the staff up front to watching the kitchen crank out food and the food was amazing! will be back again during my visit to slc. 🤩🙌🏽👍🏽“

“Great breakfast and coffee!“

“The atmosphere is cute. Street parking for 15 minutes which is nice for when youre just popping in to grab coffee to go.

I wanted a frozen mocha but they didnt have those, staff was very friendly though and gave me alternative options. I appreciate the clear communication. The iced mocha is still pretty good“

“I always feel like the staff seems a little stuck up when I go here. Unfortunately, the browned butter latte is some of the best coffee I’ve had in SLC so I’ll keep coming back. The toasts are pretty good, and the red pepper Gouda scones are killer. Their other coffee options have been good so far too.“
