50 Best Coffee Shops in Salt Lake City

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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! :)“

“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 stopped by this little coffee and rock shop the other day, and I’ve got to say, it’s a solid find. The coffee was legitimately impressive—rich, smooth, and easily some of the best I’ve had in a while. No weak brews or burnt aftertaste, just a damn good cup. On top of that, the owner’s got an extensive collection of rocks and gems for sale. We’re talking a wide range of unique pieces—everything from polished stones to raw chunks—at prices that won’t make you flinch. The vibe’s laid-back, and it’s clear the owner knows their stuff without being pushy. If you’re into coffee or cool rocks, it’s worth a visit.“

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

“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!“

“Best chai tea I've ever had!“

“They are very friendly and helpful! I tried the PumChata today and it was very tasty. The Raspberry Danish I had was very soft, fresh and delicious. All and all it hit the spot! If you're in there area you should definitely check them out.“

“Love love love this sandwich shop.. I'm from New Jersey and it's hard to find a really good sandwich shop in utah that compares..it's top notch!“

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

“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.“

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

“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? 😍“

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

“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 come here all the time! Truthfully I have been to other coffee shops Downtown and none compare. The barista, Nate, is the best! He is super friendly and always asks me about my day! He has helped broaden my understanding of coffee and helped me diversify my order :) I now time my visits when I know he will be there as he feels like a friend at this point. Can’t say enough good things!“

“Probably my favorite coffee place in Salt Lake. Their outdoor seating is the best. So nice and cosy, decent coffee, and prices. The only thing - I wish they would give barristas some tools so they are not as loud when making coffee. That thwack sound when they knock coffee grounds out makes me jump up every time.

I also wish their burritos tasted better and/or they had more vegetarian food options.“

“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 ☕️🥪“

“I was just visiting SLC and stopped here every single day throughout my trip. It was that good. The apple chai scone? The fig syrup? I am going to miss it so much. And the girl working who served me most of the time - brown hair- was so so nice it elevated the experience x1000. keep that energy girl - you make people’s day. Gonna miss this place!!!“

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

“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!“

“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 everytime 👏 I have been driving through for an iced tan mocha for a food 20 years and they have never let me down in friendliness, service or beverage. And I think thats a pretty big deal 😀I appreciate everyone involved over the years. You all do an excellent job. 👏“

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

“The staff were super nice and welcoming. We happen to go at the end of their tent sale and got a lot of good deals! We tried their coffee special the HK, it was delicious. Definitely one of my favorite coffee companies so it was cool to be able to visit their headquarters and get a fresh made coffee from them!“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming to La Barba since day one, and to this day they’re hands down the best coffee shop around! Their coffee is top-tier, the tacos are always fresh, and the customer service is unmatched. The staff is super friendly and always makes me feel welcome, it’s like walking into a second home.“

“The coffee is good and the service is friendly. However, all 3 times I've come in there's been a miscommunication with my drinks.
1st time a medium is a 12 oz, not a 16 oz. okay my bad.
2nd time I said a large, got given a 12 oz.
3rd time said a 16 oz hot caramel, was given a cold. They did remake it, but it's a regular latte with no flavor 💀.“

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

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“Amazing Red Bull frappes and great owners. Always stop by when I’m in town.“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had.“

“The best peanut butter paprika cookie!!!“

“FANTASTIC breakfast croissants & caramel macchiato!!!“

“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“

“Loved the vibe and the healthy breakfast options. I loved the toast with advocado and egg although it would have been nice to know it’s spicy so I could ask it without the sauce. The best blueberry muffin and short bread cookies I’ve had ❤️“

“Can't recommend this place enough. The service is the best I've seen. The servers work together and everyone works all the tables. The food comes out faster than any place I've seen. The other day I timed it. 4 minutes from order to delivery, and that is typical. Try the corned beef hash.“

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

“Great breakfast and coffee!“

“Always a good time when I get to visit this little gem!! I get the frozen coffee with 7 espresso shots whenever I need extra energy to clean house or install landscaping. The staff is SO friendly and sometimes funny. This is one of my top 3 favorites in the valley.“

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

“Just, WOW! Normally, I dont eat sweets. Quality ingredients expertly crafted into delicious pies by Andrew and his crew. Delicious!“

“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“

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“Wonderful people! Quality local goods. Great community hub. I go there often“

“Tried the breakfast croissant and it was way too crispy it kinda just fell apart. I normally love the drinks so I only docked one star but today the caramel macchiato was sickly sweet, ended up throwing it out I couldn’t drink it. So won’t get that again but normally when I get a latte they are fine and not too sweet.“

“Everything is delicious! The cakes are amazing! The banana bread is so good!“
