50 Best Cafes near South Salt Lake

“Delicious drinks! Cold Brew is refreshing and so smooth. My daughter loved the frozen Hermosa . Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit What The Cup again!“

“I've only been here three one time, and it was delicious. Friendly people. Frank was in the dining room looking at video b of a live music event that was hosted by them and the brewery across the parking lot. A lot of cool stuff about University of Utah Football here, as Frank played for the v squad back in the day. I had the jambalaya, and it was great! This is my kind of spot. I'll be back.“

“service is great and costumer service“

“What an extraordinary place I could spend weeks in there trying everything they have to offer go try it out you will not be disappointed“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is amazing!!! The boba drinks are SO good and reasonably priced. The staff is so nice, patient and helpful. The overall vibe inside is super cute I could stay there all day. Thank you again to the staff for making this such a great experience!!!“

“Found this little gem from a simple Google search and I’m already addicted! My friend and I enjoyed breakfast there and we’re already planning a return trip. Who cares that it’s an hour away from home, it’s worth the drive! I had the granola pancake (🤤) and my friend had the strawberry french toast special (equally delicious). We also took home cinnamon and raspberry rolls (to die for). Give this place a try, you’ll be glad you did!“

“We came here for brunch for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was also our first time coming here. The food was absolutely delicious AND we got a free dessert for her birthday. Not only was it free, it was a delicious, house-made crème brûlée! We will definitely be coming back!“

“I have been here many times and have enjoyed it each visit. I’ve had their afternoon tea several times, and find it to be very filling. I’ve also had the BLT and the bison gravy and biscuit—both are very filling. I definitely recommend asking about specials. It is a very popular weekend brunch spot, so plan accordingly as seating fills up quickly or plan to go during times when it’s not so busy. There is seating in and outdoors—both allow dogs. If you have a small dog that’s ok being around a lot of new people, it’s easier to navigate sitting inside. If you do not like places where you line up to order; get a number to place on your table where you wait for your food to be brought to you; get your own water and cutlery; and then you have to bus your own table, this is not the place for you. If you don’t mind that, then you will be able to enjoy good food and coffee/tea in a cute courtyard. It almost doesn’t feel like you are in UT sitting there on a nice day. Seating in the courtyard has most tables for 2-3 people, but there are a few long tables that can accommodate a group of 4-6 adults in the gravel area and some inside. I would not plan to bring a large party here unless I came early. If you are a smaller party, be prepared to share table space with others at the large tables if the small tables are full. Staff have always been professional and kind. My last piece of advice is for anyone with mobility concerns, be aware that the courtyard is divided into paved and pea gravel spaces with seating. And when you enter the cafe space, there is a step down.“

“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 food and great staff.“

“My favorite coffee shop in Salt Lake County!! (or even the whole Utah?)
I am obsessed with their Lychee Rose Matcha Latte, although it's just their seasonal drink (please make it a permanent one 🥹). It's honestly the only thing I order here (guilty!)

Their Feta and Balsamic Hand Pie as well as Gochujang Scone are very delicious. I always get those if stop here for quick breakfast.

My sister loves the corn ice cream and said it tasted like our homemade corn milk.

The place can be quite busy during the weekend and there might not be enough seating but the service is always great.
The staffs are all very friendly and attentive. Some of them even remember my order, which makes me feel so special.“

“Great cream of asparagus and breakfast Bagels 🥯“

“Diners have their own special space within the restaurant astral plane. The best of them hold faith in authenticity, family, and home; foregoing kitsch for care. If they have designs at all, they're for full hearts, contented souls, via satisfied bellies. And the church of Ogie's heals and elevates very nicely in this regard. Simple food found within a reliably accessible menu is precisely why we go to places like this. My grilled cheese was great. The hash browns were outstanding. The service was lively and full of sass. Sometimes we go places so that we can disappear into the better, warmer currents of humanity... and it was a privilege to spend a morning here. Of course they're recommended. Ogie's is the culinary hug you've been needing. Me, too.“

“so so good recommend this place. very nice place very clean and staff was very nice“

“Drinks are great and staff is amazing!“

“I absolutely LOVE Rise By Good Day! Moving here frrom a town in IL just north of Chicago, I never expected to find quality kielbasa in UT... but low and behold, Rise By Good Day has saved my polish cravings and kept my stomach happy. You have to get the Weselna Kielbasa. It is my absolute favorite. You also cannot go wrong with pierogies either. Or the poppy seed bread. Or the polish apple pie. I also love trying all the other polish foods and snacks. The ketchup is my new go to. Don't get me started on the Paczki. That's a delicacy of its own. Stop in, you wont be disappointed. The service is amazing. The owner is so friendly, as are her staff. I cannot recommend this place enough. I am looking forward to them opening the new location in West Jordan and trying their pierogi pizza and kielbasa pizza. Mmm!!“

“My lovely partner surprised me by bringing me on a date here and it was absolutely magical!! A truly unique date and a wonderful experience for my first ever tea party. Such tasty tea and sweets. Very cozy and whimsical. It was delightful all around. Highly recommend.“

“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 ☕️🥪“

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

“I loved the matcha!! The food was really good 😊“

“coffee they have a large selection of international coffee.“

“Incredible coffee, cozy atmosphere & good vibes! We both got the C’mere latte & it was otherworldly. Espresso was perfectly dialed, and the flavor profile of everything together was delicious!

The barista was warm & welcoming and there’s a decent amount of seating options if you want to spend some time here. Since this place is a bar in the evening, you’ll still need to show your ID to get in!

This will definitely be our new go-to coffee spot & we can’t wait to come back!“

“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“

“This place is a gem if you can find it. Small, no frills food counter with outstanding breakfast and coffee. Machaca eggs and chicken fried steak and eggs were off the charts.

Parking: It's located above a trucking parts and service counter so parking is limited.“

“the best of the best tacos in town!!!! 🎉❤️🌮💃“

“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!“

“We had an unusual birthday cake request for my 7 year olds birthday today. Being new to the area, I wandered in seeing the store to ask about ordering a cake. I’ve never heard of them or experienced them before. They did an amazing job!! This was better than I even expected. The staff was SO kind. I will definitely be coming back for my future birthday cake needs as well as any other bakery and lunch items.“

“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.“

“Rich lentil stew and classic samosas with fresh cucumber sauce, heartwarming on a February evening. The next time from Namash on Spice and 9th, I enjoyed the chapati scones and flavorful soup beans. Pleasant service in an open space with children, art, and plants!“

“This truck came to my work as a celebration for our company anniversary. I had never heard of it, but boy am I glad I decided to try it! So, SO good! 1000000% recommended!“

Dietary restrictions: They tell all you need to know about dietary restrictions when you ask which is really helpful

Kid-friendliness: Staff is super nice to children“

“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! :)“

“It was delicious!!!! Cute and quaint atmosphere. Old house changed into a bakery 🧁“

“Fell in love with the food, service, other customers, and the atmosphere. Even the bees were friendly. Plan to become a regular. I should have known, any place that is ‘dog friendly’ Is going to be a winner.“

“locally owned owners are awesome people good coffee good price. owner brought me gas when I ran out on the freeway 6 or 7 years ago. will be a lifelong customer because of their willingness to help me“

“Not my favorite location. I love the soup kitchen, but I found that the food at this location wasn't as good for some reason (mainly the tomatoe soup, it was watery and not as flavorful), and it's soo busy and the service was slow. Love the other locations though!“
