50 Best Coffee Shops in Salt Lake City

“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.“

“This is truly a magical experience. My sister and daughter had the perfect girls afternoon at Kahve. What a cozy place! The coffee and treats are unmatched in this city. Thank you for being here!“

“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! :)“

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

“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? 😍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Dropped in here just before closing. Staff (assuming it was the owner) was very friendly and helpful. I asked for a recommendation as I wanted to try something different. He was spot on with the Lavender latte which was very delicious. He even gave my son a popsicle while we waited. The place has a variety of drinks no matter what your looking for. If your in the area I highly recommend stopping and picking up a drink or tasty treat.“

“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 �“

“Best chai tea I've ever had!“

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

“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“

“The service was out of this world! Adorable and welcoming staff. Coffee was amazing but what I loved the most was the crew at the counter! I had a big bandaid on my chin that was falling off (had no idea). The adorable barista told me and got two new bandaids for me! I will be back and if you’re reading this, you should go! Top notch spot!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and a bunch of nice caffeinated Italian sodas. Bagels are fantastic too, hopefully they add more toppings as they grow but the everything bagel there is part of my morning routine! Parking is super easy and it’s right near downtown.“

“Their Breakfast Sandwich on an Everything Bagel and Lemon Blueberry Scone was Absolutely Delicious!!! Also loved our Lattes! As someone who works as a Barista and cooks/bakes I don't often not regret trying new places.“

“Strong and well made coffee. Service was great and employees are very kind and approachable. I liked their merch so I got a hat for my father in law. He loved the hat, but it looks like his dog liked it more (pictured below). Will be back to get more hats“

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

“FANTASTIC breakfast croissants & caramel macchiato!!!“

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

“Well, if you count a muffin or cookie, homemade qualty...yummy...then it is a yes for food. I love their coffee! It is simply my favorite of any place in Salt Lake. The customer service has always been excellent. It is a drive thru, and they are very efficient. The sweetener of our choice is Equal, and they don't carry it. Very few places do since Covid. We carry our own with us ...so there is no problem with that!“

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

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“This place checks all my boxes. Wish I hadn’t just discovered it the day before I leave Salt Lake. The coffee is really nice—a good roast and well prepared. The pastry is great too, I had the blueberry muffin per staff recommendation and it was so light and fluffy with an interesting salty-sweet streusel topping. The atmosphere is a 10/10 too; the inside is cool without being obnoxious and the two outdoor seating areas are very private with hedges planted around.“

“Been coming here for years and not much has changed. Delicious double play with a side of French toast. Located across Liberty Park on 13th south this diner delivers no frill breakfast and brunch. It can be a bit chaotic inside but it didn’t seem to bother the multiple families and couples from getting their brunch on. Arrive early as there is often a wait but it is well worth it!“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had.“

“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.“

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

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

“I really love the beautiful atmosphere of District Coffee, the cute wooden chairs, the art on the wall. So nice as I’m doing work on my laptop. Especially sitting at the table upstairs with a view of the street. I like that it is in the Capitol Hill neighborhood as well. One of my favorites here in SLC.“

“EVERYTHING!! We had great coffee, iced and hot; lemonade; pizza; desserts and amazing fun family entertainment!! Thank you. We will be back!!“

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

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

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

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

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

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

“Holy Water is one of the most friendliest and gorgeous coffee shops in Downtown Salt Lake City! It is bike and walking friendly, offering shaded outdoor and beautiful calm indoor seating. Their coffee and bites are delicious, served by their wonderful staff of Baristas! Excellence in all forms!“

“The best peanut butter paprika cookie!!!“

“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 love the strawberry yogurt :)“

“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.“

“I picked up a couple of bags of beans here while on a work trip and WOW, the beans are good. The staff was friendly and more than knowledgeable on their numerous roasts. They roast daily and are packaged to order when you order. It has been my favorite coffee beans I have found on any work trip thus far, including my trips to Guatemala! Don’t walk, run to this roaster and pick up a few bags. You will not be disappointed!!“

“The loveliest place! I usually don’t post reviews, but I have to say this will be a staple from here on out. The staff, the atmosphere, and the place itself are all so inviting. And so many different food & drink options! Absolutely delicious!“

“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“

“This place is awesome! Skate park, climbing wall, killer bar with awesome drink menu by Fizz (she is an amazing mixologist and smart biz chic!). Best of all……. DOG FRIENDLY! We went for our anniversary and our pooch loved the balcony and the fire pit! We highly recommend the old fashioned and the apple pie dream cocktail! A must do in SLC!“
