Brew Monkey Coffee House

I've lived in magna for going on 8 years now and have passed by Colosimo's many times…read more Each time I've briefly seen inside and thought it looked empty so I was never really interested in going ins However I'm having some people over today and wanted to get some sausages/hot dogs to make for dinner and for some reason colosimos came to mind. When I walked in, my initial impression wasn't really much different than what I originally thought, that it's kinda a half empty looking store. I found my way back to the freezers where the meat was and initially didn't think there were many options. But the guy working there (maybe the owner?) came by to give me the "grand tour". He showed me that the sausages are actually in these white boxes (pictured). I picked the garlic and mild Italian options. Which come out to about $15 for 6 sausages. Initially that felt expensive, but when you actually look at them, they are pretty big, so it's really not tooo much more than if you got something from Walmart. I told him it was my first time, and as I said that he went into the back, and came out with a package of breakfast sausages on the house. He then also gave my kid a quarter so he could get a toy from the machine up front. At the last minute, I noticed the buns they had and put it on the counter. He proceeded to give me the buns for half off for basically no reason. Never in my 31 years of life have I had an experience like this at any store. I felt the pride he had in their product and was totally taken off guard at his kindness. I have yet to actually try the food, but if they are even 1/4th as good as my experience in store, I'm sure they will be incredible. Can't wait to go back.

I have a special place in my heart for Colosimo's. My Italian neighbor, who is like a grandpa to…read moreme, taught me how to make homemade stuffed mushrooms, spaghetti sauce, meatballs, and frittata all from the meat and cheeses that come from Colosimo's. Funny enough my neighbor actually knows the business owner and it's always fun seeing them catch up. I review places with my OAT method: O= Overall experience - This run down, 100+ year old market is very nostalgic to me. Yes, it could be re-modeled and cleaned up. But the beauty about it is the wear and tear this place has. Located in Magna, there isn't much out there but this spot is a must for holiday meals or dinners. Plus, the owners always give great recommendations for new products to try and they will give me a sample to make sure I like it too! A= Appearance - The meat and cheeses are like non-other in Salt Lake City. T= Taste - My favorite go-tos, when available, are the maple breakfast links, hot Italian bulk/ skinless, Kasseri cheese, and pepperoni. I love juiciness of the meat and creaminess of the cheeses. Take my word for it and make a trip out to Magna!

We had an event beginning at noon, so timing was extremely important. When we arrived, every cold sandwich was prepared, bagged, organized, and completely ready to go. Christina is an exceptional manager with a great team. We cater large corporate events regularly, and anyone who handles orders of this size knows how stressful it can be when a restaurant isn't ready on time. Christina and her team made the entire process effortless. She had our receipt printed, made sure we had everything we needed, and got us on our way without a hitch. I'm genuinely sad to hear this location is closing. We've been coming here for several years, and I specifically drive out of my way to use this Capriotti's because Christina and her team have consistently been dependable and on time. Christina's professionalism, organization, and customer service are top-notch. Any company would be incredibly fortunate to have her on its team.

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.
