Tucked away on a quiet corner, this coffee shop is the kind of place you stumble into and immediately want to stay awhile. The espresso is smooth and rich, with just the right balance of boldness and warmth. The atmosphere strikes a perfect mix of cozy and modern—soft lighting, comfortable seating, and the gentle hum of conversation in the background. The staff are genuinely friendly, making you feel more like a guest than a customer. Whether you’re there to work, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a latte, it’s the kind of spot that makes you wish every neighborhood had one.

Delicious food--seriously some of the best options for breakfast. Unfortunately, their ordering online has failed me twice. I order ahead of time to be polite and not slam them with 7 burritos. Twice now, my order has not been fulfilled when I went to pick them up. It's really disappointing, because I'd like others to know what a great place this is to get food. I've stopped going there because I need a reliable place to order breakfast for my office.

This is my favorite coffee shop in salt lake, the owners and staff are incredibly kind and personable, the food and coffee are excellent. Extra shout out to Oliver, I rarely find anywhere in the US that does a good cappuccino but Oliver does them to perfection.

Delightful cafe tucked up in the Avenues. The owner had a box of peaches from the tree in his back yard for patrons to have one for free. A yummy addition to my pastry & my son's breakfast bagel.

I was craving a good breakfast burrito and came across this place on Google. I gotta say, this was probably one of, if not the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. The tortilla was excellent - tasted homemade. All the ingredients tasted fresh. Whatever their special sauce is has an excellent flavor to it that really went well with the whole ensemble. Served piping hot. Very good.
It's a little spendy for a burrito, and it's a little on the smaller side compared to a place like Bettos, but it is also way better quality and flavor. I couldn't buy one every morning, but when you have a craving, this sure hit the spot.

Ordering is done by pad and the misses the coffee shop feel. Staff were distracted and uncaring.
Love the turkey BLT. Always good to go here after an event near the avenues as it's never crazy busy. Great coffee too!
Cute shop, great ambiance, amazing coffee.
Good little shop but why did I just pay 4 dollars for a shot of coffee
A favorite of mine since I lived in the avenues 15 years ago, this coffeeshop has the best community feeling, the most lively energy, and most laidback vibe. Lots of seating for a small space, and more comfortable than most. I love to write here, and this is one of those places where I mysteriously do my best work. Even though it's not quiet, the ambient noise is perfect.
My favorite drink is dairy-free dirty chai Cubano-style. The flavors of chai, espresso, brown sugar, and cinnamon are like angels serenading my taste buds. I love the artwork, and how the community board is right up front.
The only negative is that it's kind of impersonal to order on a tablet. I don't mind, since ordering food or drink gives me low-grade social anxiety, but I know customers who feel a lack of connection. The ordering system has the potential to cause confusion, like when I bring a personal cup, they don't use it. That is my one critique.

Lovely hipster weekend brunch place. Nice to sit outside with a dog sipping solid coffee & tasty gluten free sandwiches - also worth taking up the street to picnic in the park :)
Burrito was too wet. Would probably get it without cream cheese next time.
Chai late with almond milk was yummy
My partner and I absolutely love this café! The employees are always so kind and the Thai coffee/Rooibos Tea keeps us coming back
Love that dogs can come inside - such a cozy place for morning coffee and snack.
The atmosphere was super cute, but i ran into my sister. Didn’t know this was the kind of establishment that attracted people like that. Also the food was a little bland and expensive and the ordering system is weird. The employee was a little rude since I obviously didn’t realize I was supposed to order on the tablet, I’ve never seen that before. Maybe they should make it more clear that you’re not allowed to talk to any of the employees ?
