36 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!“

Everything we’ve tried here has been great & the food comes out relatively quick for how busy it gets!“

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!“

“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! :)“

“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“

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

“This new place is fantastic! I’ve visited a few times and have always been delighted with their coffee. The sound system is also impressive, creating a great atmosphere. The curated menu is another highlight. If you’re looking to catch up with a friend, grab a spot by the window!

Just remember to bring your ID!“

“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!“

“I absolutely love Cafe Shambala and highly recommend stopping by! Every time we host family or guests visiting, we bring them to eat here. Both the lunch buffet and the dinner menu are delicious. Our favorites are the spiced potatoes, the marinated chicken, the momos, and the traditional rice pudding dessert. My husband and I have never had less than a 5-star experience, especially with the excellent service. My only suggestion for improvement would be to more clearly post a drink menu during lunch, specifically for the refreshing mango lassi and other tasty drinks available. Last time I was there, the only posting of this information was a faded printer paper taped on the outside windows.“

“Delicious And fresh tasting food.“

“Great breakfast and coffee!“

“I love the coffee!! and the breakfast croissant was delicious.“

“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!!!!“

“Best coffee! Service is always great and the owner is awesome!! She knows her coffee!“

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

“The baristas are consistently kind and efficient. While the atmosphere can fluctuate with the law building’s traffic, it remains a convenient spot for students. My favorites are the mocha and caramel macchiato, but all drinks—hot or iced—are excellent. Great for a quick caffeine boost or a light bite like a pastry or sandwich.“
