While you’re exploring the wonderful Salt Lake City, Utah, stop by one of these amazing coffee shops for the perfect pick-me-up. Sip on a hot cappuccino and enjoy some killer toast, or grab a large chai latte to-go. Let’s dive into the best coffee shops in Salt Lake City.


While these all have killer drinks to choose from, as well as some delicious bites to eat, they are all also the best coffee shops to work in Salt Lake City. Bring your laptop, order your favorite drink or try a new one, and get cranking out some remote work.


After trying several Salt Lake City coffee shops, we narrowed down the list to the best so you can truly enjoy your coffee experience in this city. So, what are the…


Best Coffee Shops in Salt Lake City


1. King’s Peak Coffee Roasters - Best Atmosphere

Along with killer specialty coffees, mouth-watering avocado toast, and a great selection of giant pastries, King's Peak Coffee Roasters wins the award for the best atmosphere.


There are several tables here to work at, as well as a big comfy couch. The decor is a fun vibe, but it’s not super distracting either. The music is always perfect for the mood, and the staff is so incredibly nice and helpful here.


This is hands down one of the best coffee shops to work in Salt Lake City with great free wifi. Plus, there is plenty of free parking right outside, which is a huge bonus if you’re driving in SLC!

This is the perfect place to duck in from a snowstorm, enjoy unique treats, and meet up with a friend. Try their honeysuckle syrup in your coffee if it’s available, you won’t regret it.


The decor at Honeysuckle Coffee Co. is so cute, it makes me want to buy a house just to decorate it. This is another great place to get some work done; they have a variety of seating options and chill tunes playing in the background.



3. Roots Coffee Utah - Most Welcoming

After walking into Roots, it feels like you’ve just met up with a good friend, who also happens to be the cashier and barista. This cozy coffee shop is set up like a house, with most of the seating located upstairs.


We were treated like good friends while visiting; the staff was very friendly. They have a fun seating area that’s set up like a living room, complete with a hanging chair in the corner! But they also have several tables to sit and work at.


Plus, you can order baked goods from local bakers, such as a chai cinnamon roll (starts drooling). I highly recommend the Horchata Latte if it’s available!



4. District Coffee Co. - Best Working Environment

If you need to buckle down and get some work done, head to District. Here you will see college students and digital nomads all sipping on coffee and working away.


It’s nice to be surrounded by others who are also working when you need to get stuff done. District is a motivating place to do so! And their coffee is yummy! Make sure you check out their toast options if you’re hungry.


5. Publik Coffee Roasters - Most Unique Options

With a wonderful selection of specialty coffees, paninis, and toasts, you can try something you probably haven’t had before at Publik Coffee Roasters. Like an “ Honestly John” latte made with smoked hickory, brown sugar, and almond.


If you’re hungry, Publik is a must-visit. You can enjoy a killer grilled cheese panini, goat cheese and jam toast, portobello panini, and more. The food is all so delicious here, my stomach keeps telling me to order more.
