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.“

“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! :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“Edit: changing my review because I went back today and service was quick and exceptional! They had quite a few more people working from what I could see. Strawberry matcha latte was delicious, and they were able to make changes to my friend's drink to meet his vegan restrictions.

Original review:
Every drink I've had has been great and while it is a little pricey, I understand and appreciate the quality ingredients being used (I watched as the local milk delivery happened and can see that they are supporting local businesses, which is great).

But the long waits in line are what have me hesitating a next visit. Every time I go, I wait at least 7-10 minutes just to place an order. Not because theres a long line, but because they have on person up front taking orders AND making drinks. And then it takes another 7-10 minutes to get my drink. Wish you would figure out your work flow a little better.“

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

“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.“

“Great shop, extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff who mine and/or source everything in the shop firsthand. I'm just a basic hobby collector but I like knowing where my stuff comes from and its history, and ever moreso I like collecting local items and especially buying local. This shop checks all the boxes. 😁👍👍“

“Best chai tea I've ever had!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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? 😍“

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

“In town for work and found this little
Gem of a coffee shop, Cass working the counter was nothing but nice and very inviting!! I got a caramel latte which was fantastic and the breakfast burrito which was huge and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re close ! Fair pricing as well !“

“excellent coffee and staff, always a good atmosphere and rarely too busy! their seasonal drinks are always a fun and creative surprise.“

“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 �“

“Solid 4/5 star coffee shop. It’s a fun vibe, I like how it’s small and quirky. The drinks were good, nothing special though. They only had one roast to choose from, and the staff was fine, not very fun and bubbly like your typical coffee shop. Not sure that I’ll go back, but definitely in a fun location and worth swinging by if your a block or two away.“

“Stopped by Coffee Noir this morning before my hike, and I immediately understood why it’s such a local favorite. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, it has that cozy, hidden-gem feel. The indoor space is on the smaller side, but the seating is thoughtfully arranged and the patio is absolutely adorable.

I ordered the JCCC, and it was the perfect balance of sweet without being overpowering, and it came out fast, which was much appreciated before hitting the trail. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an easy place to love. I’d absolutely go back.“

“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 ☕️🥪“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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. 👏“

“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!“

“WE ARE IN HEAVEN!! Coffee and EXTRAORDINARY TACOS!! TACOS ARE LIT!! 🔥 Tortillas that melt in your mouth and sauce you just want to drink because it’s so delicious!! We are taco snobs being Texas natives from San Antonio and coffee snobs!! It’s a hells yes from us!!!“

“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“

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

“The best restaurant service out there. It’s hard not to be happy when you walk in and are greeted by everyone working there. They are also the most family friendly place I’ve been to. Immediately getting seated they brought our daughter graham crackers and fruit. It’s hard to find places that do those types of things without asking. The food is amazing and it tastes even better with the great service. Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“Great breakfast and coffee!“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had.“

“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 💀.“

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

“801 has the best coffee and atmosphere. They use freshly roasted coffee that they roast themselves, not store bought stuff that been in a warehouse for who knows how long. The locally sourced hot breakfast pastries are amazing too!“

“I love the strawberry yogurt :)“
