Salt Lake City, Utah
The best coffee in Salt Lake City
Eight Salt Lake City roasters and cafés, in a scene three decades in the making.
8 places
Salt Lake's coffee scene is better than outsiders expect, and it is genuinely local: La Barba, Three Pines, Blue Copper and The Rose Establishment all roast in-state. The independent roasting scene here has been building steadily for thirty years.
The Granary District is the most interesting area to walk, and downtown covers the rest within a short radius.
1.Blue Copper Coffee Room
Granary District
Roastery and café in the district most worth exploring, in an industrial-chic room that earns the description.
2.La Barba Coffee
A local roaster with a real community around it, and the most consistent cup in the city.
3.Publik Coffee Roasters
Among the top specialty names in Salt Lake, and the one with the most distinctive spaces.
4.Three Pines Coffee
Small, in-state roaster that turns up on every serious local list.
5.caffe d'bolla
The city's best-known micro-roaster and siphon bar. Order the siphon or you have missed the point of visiting.
6.The Rose Establishment
Roasting and serving in-state, in one of the better rooms downtown.
7.Cupla Coffee
Downtown
Locally owned near the Salt Palace, with food that holds up alongside the coffee, plus a second roastery café in Cottonwood Heights.
8.Loki Coffee
A small local roaster that outranks far larger sites on its own name — worth a stop for that alone.
