28 Best Cafes in Salt Lake City

“If you're looking for a personable, flexible caterer with food that matches the high-quality service, Kafe Mamai should be your choice! Abudu is a top-notch caterer who goes above and beyond to ensure your event is a success. We built a personal relationship, which is rare among catering companies. The food is authentic and hand-crafted, including the spice mixes. I recently had grilled j*** chicken, rice & beans, and fried plantains at my event, and everyone raved about the plantains!“

“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.“

“We came here for brunch for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was also our first time coming here. The food was absolutely delicious AND we got a free dessert for her birthday. Not only was it free, it was a delicious, house-made crème brûlée! We will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“I have been here many times and have enjoyed it each visit. I’ve had their afternoon tea several times, and find it to be very filling. I’ve also had the BLT and the bison gravy and biscuit—both are very filling. I definitely recommend asking about specials. It is a very popular weekend brunch spot, so plan accordingly as seating fills up quickly or plan to go during times when it’s not so busy. There is seating in and outdoors—both allow dogs. If you have a small dog that’s ok being around a lot of new people, it’s easier to navigate sitting inside. If you do not like places where you line up to order; get a number to place on your table where you wait for your food to be brought to you; get your own water and cutlery; and then you have to bus your own table, this is not the place for you. If you don’t mind that, then you will be able to enjoy good food and coffee/tea in a cute courtyard. It almost doesn’t feel like you are in UT sitting there on a nice day. Seating in the courtyard has most tables for 2-3 people, but there are a few long tables that can accommodate a group of 4-6 adults in the gravel area and some inside. I would not plan to bring a large party here unless I came early. If you are a smaller party, be prepared to share table space with others at the large tables if the small tables are full. Staff have always been professional and kind. My last piece of advice is for anyone with mobility concerns, be aware that the courtyard is divided into paved and pea gravel spaces with seating. And when you enter the cafe space, there is a step down.“

“great food and great staff.“

“Great cream of asparagus and breakfast Bagels 🥯“

“Grilled Cheese sandwich and Ham sandwich (yummiest tiny pickles) and the Lemon Sorbetto. That's what we tried so far...we'll be back!!! That's just the food. Love the cozy charm and cheerful customer service as well.“

“My favourite cafe in SLC. Great to work on your laptop. Amazing food and coffee. Friendly staff members. Very strategic location! Plenty of milk options. Breakfast and lunch menu. I enjoy the outside area during summer and indoors for winter- very cozy ☕️🥪“

“Apparently the posted hours are not the true hours. Showed up at 8:30 since their hours say that's when they open on Sunday. The door was locked and we were told they didn't open until 9. They finally allowed us to order at 9:15. Very frustrating.
The coffee is great but don't go there first thing in the morning I guess...“

“Sharon's is a classic, comfort oriented breakfast and lunch spot. Reasonably priced, quick service, reliably delicious. I recommend it to anyone in Holladay looking for a casual and no-fuss bite to eat. Traditional American breakfast menu, thoughtful dietary and vegetarian options, really a good call from every aspect.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Sugar Space is so great! It was 1.5 miles from the Koa where I was staying and I wasn’t sure if it was worth the walk, it’s got a great little coffee shop/ cafe, the food and drinks are nice, Edgar the barista is sooooo sweet and accommodating and the owners are really great. They have good speed internet to get some work done and even a play area for kids. The owners were so kind and welcoming! It was the best part of my visit to Salt Lake!“

“Im from Canada and everytime i travel, I try to get some BBQ. I've tried many places all around the Country and Salt City BBQ is by far the best BBQ in Utah. We had the lean and fatty brisket, OMG, the fatty had sooooo much flavor and the lean did not disappoint either. The turkey had an amazing smokey flavor and so tender. The BBQ sauce had a very nice sweet flavor but not over bearing on the sweet, just perfect. And the corn bread, OMG the best corn bread I've ever had, so fluffy and melt in your mouth. The owner was amazing and his staff as well. My buddy had the sausage and said it was the perfect blend of spices and cheese. The pork belly was so tender you don't even need teeth it'll just melt in your mouth. Give this place a try...IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!“

“The service, the French Onion soup was the best I have ever had in my life the broth was to die for. The vegetable quiche was amazing. I will be back☺️“

“Best run cafe in the Valley. Mandy and her mom are the best. Terri is too. Smiity“

“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! :)“

“Not my favorite location. I love the soup kitchen, but I found that the food at this location wasn't as good for some reason (mainly the tomatoe soup, it was watery and not as flavorful), and it's soo busy and the service was slow. Love the other locations though!“

“Best authentic Pan De Dulce in Town !! Great costumer service.“
