    This might be my next go to coffee shop. I decided to swing by here because another nearby coffee shop was packed and read good reviews about this place.. Seriously, such a cute and cozy spot! I'm so glad I found it. Delish coffees! The staffs are super friendly and welcoming. They also sell other items there (check out photos). There's indoor and outdoor seating. Parking in the streets. What a great addition to the neighborhood! Be back soon!

    This is seriously the CUTEST coffee shop in the 9th & 9th area. I'm so lucky that I stumbled on it by accident. I found myself with some time to kill before an appointment nearby and I enjoyed browsing through their selection of upscale, well-curated gifts. Then I settled in with a delicious chai latte and a piece of amazing chocolate. The folks who run this shop are so kind and enthusiastic about their business. Just the kind of people I love to see making their dreams come true and sharing their passion with the rest of us.

    Such a cute spot with the cutest to-go drinks! Staff were extremely friendly, too. I just wish they had more indoor seating.

    Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: The Tiramisu Latte Wow! This is one of the cutest coffee shops ever! We stopped here in search of an afternoon pick-me-up and it did not disappoint! The cafe has "Dear Coco" on all its branding, but after talking to one of the employees, I found out that this will soon be changing to Better than Coco soon due to needed re-brand. The cafe will have all the same delicious drinks and fancy Belgian chocolates (which are incredible!!) I ordered the tiramisu latte and it came in a cute plastic "can" that was sealed on the spot. The callebaut chocolate adds such a rich flavor to the lattes without being too sweet - so good! I can't wait to go back and more of their menu! The staff were very welcoming and really knew their products and could answer any question I had about their drinks and chocolate. They also had a section dedicated to small gifts both food and non food items. Go check it out!

    Very cute coffee shop located walking distance from liberty park. The inside is adorable and has a little shopping area with such cute stuff for safe. I ordered an iced tiramisu latte and it was sooo good. More on the sweet side and I loved the to-go cup that it came in! They have seating options inside and outside. The barista was super friendly and my coffee came out quick!

    Very cute and lots of interesting tropical coffee and tea offerings. The shop would be a perfect place to stop in for purchasing gifts. I just sampled the manuka hand cream and was just blown away with the rich honey smell. It's close to Liberty Park so was perfect to start a friend date. I think there were maybe 2 or 3 tables so wouldn't necessarily suggest here for hunkering down for hours as a digital nomad. However, the pink feather lamps absolutely do make for a fun vibe to sit, sip and gab.

    such a cute new spot in a busy and eclectic neighborhood. I love their artisan chocolates, a beautiful gift for any occasion!

    The staff was so friendly and it was so beautiful inside. Definitely coming back. Try their vegan chocolate cake.

    This shop is in the transition from Dear Coco to Better Than Coco. It's a fun shop that has plenty of seating and a local market of trinkets and snacks. It's one of those places that you can roam around on a cold day while drinking a hot drink. The staff is friendly and the orders come out pretty quick. I stopped in after walking around Liberty Park and it made a perfect end to the after noon. The drinks were great and I would definitely stop in again.

    The frozen hot chocolate was so delicious!! Their coffees looked so pretty, we will have to go back and try them. Chocolates and pastries were yummy. The guy working was so so nice to everyone! The gift shop had really cute items as well. Such a cute new spot :-)

    Emilia L.

    Absolutely amazing! Coffee, chocolate and artisanal finds. Services great and this coffee was even better! I'm always a fan of trying seasonal or specialty flavors and I couldn't recommend that tiramisu latte enough. Also obsessed with the presentation. Coffee in a can? Genius!

    Iced latte and chocolate
    Allison N.

    Great place to enjoy the best velvety tasty hot chocolate in town. Not just aesthetically pleasing but also the owners put a lot of effort into the quality of their hot chocolate and all the products inside. It's hard to find a place that has both ambience and quality drinks. Good for families and date nights. Can't wait to return!

    Don't walk, RUN to Dear Coco! My fiancé and I tried their hot coco, caramel latte and belgian chocolates in the flavor of double milk. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Their shop is super cute inside with lots of menu options, and the owner was so polite and friendly! If you don't try their hot coco, you're seriously missing out. I've never had a hot coco better than theirs and I order hot coco all of the time. You can really taste the quality of chocolate that they use and I would order it every day if I could! This will for sure be our first stop when visiting Utah again! Please open a shop in California!

This place has quickly become a staple every time I am in SLC and with a seasonal rotating menu, plus all the normal coffee shop classics, there's something for everyone. Matcha is great, chai is solid, coffee is great and they even have a decent selection of other teas. Don't even get me started on the assortment of breakfast foods and pastries (wonderful)! Their sourdough toast is a must and boasts an array of fresh toppings to choose from that anyone can find something they'll like. Price is average. Service is quick and friendly. Presentation is nice-enough (nothing to gawk at). There are minimal outlets but lots of seating indoor and outdoor, but there is seemingly always a line so that must mean the locals love it too. I'd come early! Oh! They also have a board full of community events and a local artist sticker machine which makes me excited every time I'm in town. For this visit, I got an iced oat banana matcha and a sourdough slice w ricotta and seasonal berries. The matcha was buttery and smooth, well mixed, and lightly sweet. You can definitely taste the banana but it is minimal, which I like. The toast came warm and soft and crispy in all the right places. Blackberries and blueberries were juicy and complimented the cheese/bread nicely. The honey added the softest sweetness, tying it all together.

I was happy to see a variety of whole cakes available as well as other desserts and pastries. I chose one of their beautiful carrot cakes. I also got a morning bun and quiche to share. They were both delicious. The cake was neatly boxed up and handed with a friendly reminder to allow the chill to wear off before serving.

I spoke to the gentleman who took my order and he raved about the cake, stated it was a shame they only made it once a year, etc. - all this to say, I certainly ordered and paid for the special cake. Flash forward to today when I break open the box to dish out the cake. It's not the cake. It's an olive oil cake, which is fine if you like it, my mother does not. Was Mother's Day ruined, no. But paying 50.00 dollars and driving to order the cake, then days later driving to pick up the cake, only for them to give me a cake you can literally get everyday is just wrong. So very saddened by this.

It's never been like that before I had my daughter take them and put them in the fridge until I got out of the hospital Monday and we took them back to the bakery on our way home from the hospital. The person that I brought the food back to which incidentally cost $15 started to interrogate me rather than listen to my gentle complaint simply to ask for an exchange so that I could enjoy them when I got home from the hospital he was beyond rude and condescending wouldn't even really listen to me or the description of the croissant that I normally get on a regular basis and know what they taste like look like et cetera took the croissants back into the kitchen and then came back out and asked me if I bake?! do I bake? they weren't in the same condition because they went from Room temperature to me having my Daughter put them in the refrigerator so that I could at least preserve them enough to just give them back showing that I hadn't just wanted free food or anything like that As I stated, I've been going there for almost 20 years. One croissant wasn't even touched mine was just torn apart trying to figure out why it was so mushy inside I've never had a problem with my Bread products or cakes that I've ever purchased there. I don't think I ever wanna go back to this place. The person that was rude to me. The only description I can say is he's black and probably gay and not fabulous. and I'm not racist or homophobic my boyfriend is black and my daughter is LGBTQ. This has nothing to do with anything other than a description of the person that literally made me cry when I got into my daughter's car. Fuck you Tulie Bakery you have just lost a true New Yorker who appreciates the best cookies cakes and pastries in the City fuck you!!! incidentally this review is for the bakery on 900 east next to the Pilates studio not the one on 15th !
