50 Best Coffee Shops in Salt Lake City

“Every single time I am in Salt Lake, I make a point of taking the time to have a Turkish coffee and her amazing food. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy and the energy is fantastic. The food and coffee are the best and endless tea as well. My favorite coffee spot of all time.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is my third day in SLC and not coincidentally my third time at Alpha Coffee. The owner and team here are incredible are customizing the drink to your needs. When I shared my dietary restrictions, they readily partnered with me to create a drink that is simply delicious but truly went above and beyond by offering to craft my coffee in a fresh pot. I’ve had the spicy pumpkin latte, a latte with oatmilk and dash of cinnamon and then the Highlander with oatmilk. 10/10 recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best coffee shop in Salt Lake“

“If you are looking for the best coffee in SLC, look no further. I tried them once and immediately put myself on their subscription service. Every roast, every bean I have tried has been an amazing cup of coffee. The only suggestion I have for them is this: please offer a French press in your cafe. Your coffee is magical and a French press would better an already amazing experience.“

“Oh my goodness 10/10!!!! Ambiance and people were so sweet. And the food was delicious, made from scratch, i loved it. We got the breakfast croissant with sausage and a breakfast burrito. Totally recommend if you’re in the area and of course - budget friendly“

“Always the best!!! Great Coffee ☕️ Food and friendly for all!“

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

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

“I love going to The People's Coffee for many reasons. The coffee and the food is enjoyable. I love Rich's Bagels and The Peoples Coffee has fresh bagels each morning. The staff is extremely friendly and knows what I am going to order. I love to get my day started by going there and taking a window seat and doing some people watching. the owner is awesome as well. Very attentive to customer needs and feedback.“

“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.“

“Pros: decent tea selection, good coffee selection, drinks in glass/ceramic mugs, they offer resteeps for tea, large seating with upstairs and great natural lighting (so many smaller rooms), food menu offers gluten free! Avocado toast is big! Friendly staff brightens up your day!

Cons: gluten free bread is okay— too dense, tables aren’t wiped down atleast upstairs, wish they offered tea pots so I didn’t have to take my little mug downstairs for resteep ( but that’s me being picky)

Overall would come back, my cat likes the view of people watching.“

“Cozy third place to work, hang out, relax and chat with friends. Amazing owners with quality coffee selection. A must visit if you ever pass the avenues. Lots of parking and owners are super cool and friendly. Got the Spicy Dynamo turkey to go, surprised me with a hefty sandwich portion with chips to add. Will definitely consider this place when meeting friends in the avenues.

Parking: 10 for the lot, and the rest is street parking.

Kid-friendliness: Has outdoor chairs, amazing for summer and spring.“

“Best chai tea I've ever had!“

“I'm not an avid coffee drinker, but I try to stop in when I'm near downtown so I can support a local business that supports veterans.

They have cool merch, bagged coffee, and you can order a drink to go. They also offer discounts for military and first responders.“

“Love this place great drinks and pastries. Only problem I had was I couldn't log in to the wifi? I don't know id the password posted was correct or not? Could you please make the password more legible to read. Thanks“

“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.“

“Tasty coffee and awesome fresh baked goods from Bedlam Baking co.
Lots of seating outside and some inside.
Heads up - WiFi didn’t work with my VPN installed (even with the VPN turned off) so test it on your laptop sometime when you’re not in a hurry if you have a “

“In Salt Lake just for the day and in search for the best espresso in town, Blue Copper came up on multiple searches. Easy train ride in from the airport. Small shop with a nice chill vibe. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

Double espresso (Guatemalan) was well extracted and flavorful. Served with a small glass of soda water, nice touch.

I've certainly had better espresso but this one was pretty good and met my expectations.“

“The park cafe is my go to every Sunday without fail. Everything on the menu is amazing. I moved away for a few years and the only thing I missed in Salt Lake City was The park cafe and the Cathedral of Madeleine. It’s not just the best breakfast in SLC it’s the best breakfast period. The staff is amazing they make you feel like family.

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves that they give her animal crackers and whip cream before her food arrives !“

“This is one of my favourite coffee shops in the city. Not only is the customer service top-notch, but they make sure to take your order ASAP and have it ready by the time you get to the window and pay. Tasty coffee, loyalty stamp cards are AWESOME and the little chocolate covered espresso beans are a perfect treat. Muffins are fresh, too, and delicious (especially poppyseed). The drive-thru is a bit peculiar to get in & out of, but once you figure it out, you're smooth sailing. Also, it's right by the giant whale ? so you can't possibly miss it. The only downside is... they still haven't brought back the chocolate cherry cordials ? as for drinks, my recommendation is the Irish Jolt :)“

“ADORABLE and HIP are the two best words I have to describe this coffee place! Midcentury modern vibes with average coffee prices. I brought my own cup and they happily used it. I got a hot, brown sugar latte and the coffee was delicious. Not too sweet, but you could still taste the brown sugar.“

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

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

“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“

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

“We love this place. The staff is amazing and so accommodating. They treat you like family. The food is always on point and served in a timely manner. We keep going back because it is just a wonderful experience every time.“

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“I was really surprised to find this jewel in the Avenues! This Publik is nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, and the building is retro-looking (looks like something you'd see on American Pickers). It's small looking on the outside, but surprisingly large on the inside with a nice outside seating area hidden from the outside by tall hedges. And here's the kicker...I had one of THE BEST coffees I've ever had (a brown-buttered something latte). Friendly staff, great atmosphere, easy parking, and for a Sunday morning the place was hopping! I will be returning there several times a week! Highly recommend. (Btw, the images I've attached are awful, need to clean my phone lens.)“

“The best peanut butter paprika cookie!!!“

“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 is my favorite coffee shop in the world — easily the best taking coffee in the valley. the staff is always kind — they take their relationships with the customers (and their dogs) very seriously. visiting cafe expresso is my favorite part of my day. I’m always jealous of their cool style, warm personalities, and constant smiles even at 5am.“

“Genuine, down to earth people who genuinely care about local businesses and community. Whenever I go in, which is at least once a week, I'm tempted to try 3 of everything from every vendor. If you're looking for something unique, beautiful, spunky, special, super yummy delicious, & locally crafted- you'll find it here. I could go on and on about this gem in my neighborhood. Seriously, check it out!“

“Awesome pastries and a great crew. So nice to have them in the neighborhood!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely delightful experience. Coffee was delicious, and barista was friendly. I asked for her suggestion and was a bit skeptical of the seasonal blueberry cold brew she recommended. But I was quite pleasantly surprised - it was wonderful. I would happily return and unreservedly recommend this shop to others.“

“I’m a vegetarian so I ordered the collared greens sand which and was blown away! So sad I didn’t know this place existed earlier. I will 100% be back again. This is the only veggie option though so if you’re looking for more, know there isn’t much else.“

“Holy Water is our newest neighborhood coffee shop. It's a hop and vibrant spot. I haven't eaten there but Sharon and I love their beverages. She enjoys the chai tea. I usually get the cappuccino. The staff is always friendly. They get busy during the day but it's a good spot the kick back for a bit.“

“Nordstrom cafe is elevated cafe food. Brussels sprouts were delicious . Fish and chips are definitely house made and lightly battered , very tasty. Club sandwich was also delicious. Be aware this Nordstrom's cafe does not serve wine or adult beverages I'm assuming because of its close proximity to the LDS temple ! Welcome to Utah“

“My favorite place to get my matcha drinks from, they also started a digital point system!

Any of their drinks here are so good! I love their holiday or season-themed drinks and their cute vending machines. Last time I went they had Kuromi and Hello Kitty Stickers and I love stickers ?“

“Yum drinks and beautiful natural lighting. The upstairs room which has the best seating for reading/working is unfortunately also small and VERY sonically resonant. You can hear everything everyone else is saying which is tough if you come to focus.“

“Friendly drive-through employee!“

“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!!“

“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“

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