    Everything bagel with egg & cheddar cheese
    Jake H.

    Cool spot, good location in the avenues. They have plenty of seating with couches, tables etc. Has that basement feel coffee spot vibe. I got an everything bagel with egg & cheddar cheese. I'll have to try the coffee next time. Staff was very nice.

    I absolutely LOVE cafe on 1st. The vibe in here is so cozy. They have really cute seatings areas both inside and outside. Outside, there are a bunch of plants and trees. Inside the have tables, couches, and chairs. Total Friends vibes. My husband and I like to come here and read. The workers are always super nice. They have iPads to order from, but if you want to order from someone, they are always willing to help. My husband gets a Cuban cafe au lait and loves it! They have canned Diet Coke, so I'm always happy with that. I will also sometimes get their pastries, and they are so good! Such a fun vibe and great spot to grab coffee and a bite!!

    Came here Tuesday morning. The employee was very polite and offered recommendations for my order. The shop isn't too busy at 9 am and there's plenty of seating both inside and outside (tables or couches). They have a lofi jazz playlist going which excellent to study with. I got the sausage egg and cheese croissant. Filling and is exactly what you paid for . Will definitely be coming back again to study

    Bacon & egg croissant!

    My spouse and I had a very good lunch at this café during our visit to SLC last week. Though it wasn't obvious when we stood in line, there are 2 monitors where you digitally order your food. I was going for a chicken sandwich initially, but there was no ability to remove ingredients, so I went for an egg and bacon (no cheese) croissant instead. The sandwich had a few slices of bacon on the bottom and a LOT of scrambled eggs on top! The croissant had been toasted and was crunchy inside and soft outside. The food was really good. The feel of the café is one of a coffee shop and, though we chose to eat inside, several tables were outside in front of the store. This is a good place for a quick meal and a relaxing visit. Look for the unusual painting near the restroom, too! You won't be able to look away.

    Generous portion of egg, bacon and cheese bagel.

    We came here for breakfast. I ordered the bagel with egg, cheese and bacon. The food is delicious! I've never seen a bagel with a generous portion of eggs. I also had a vanilla latte! My daughter ordered a Nutella toast. All the food we ordered were freshly made. We found a spacious lounge area for our big group. They also had pastries and donuts. The staff was so accommodating and friendly! I would definitely come back here for lunch so I can try the smoothies and sandwiches!

    Iced Caramel Macchiato

    Cozy cafe in a nice neighborhood! There's seating inside and outside, you order on a tablet and the process is straightforward. I got an iced caramel macchiato and a breakfast burrito (definitely get the sexy sauce if your taste buds like cilantro). It was a great breakfast and the baristas were super friendly!

    8 oz chai latte

    This place had photos of couches on google, which bus why I came here on one of my work from home days. And I was sad to not see any couches when I arrived. You order at a computer with no personal interaction. But... but... I have never had such a good everything bagel with egg and sausage with Avacado. I don't know who is making their lattes and their dishes back there because I never actually saw a human, but dang.... I'd go back just because e writhing tasted so freaking good! It was a quiet spot too, a great WFH location.

    Iced pumpkin spice latte

    This is my favorite local coffee spot. I am coming here all the time! The owners are so nice and always very helpful and the energy inside is super chill and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    So glad that this place is in my neighborhood here in the Avenues! A fun loving Thai couple runs this place and greets everyone by name. The coffee is hot and their menu of croissants and burrito breakfasts and sandwiches are all delicious. A small dining room and parking on the back and in the road on 1st. They even mentioned they were going to add to their menu curry! Always my morning go to when I'm headed out to have fun when I visit Salt Lake City!

    Thai Iced Tea
    KaraLee L.

    My top spot for Thai Teas and Thai coffee The bomb burritos not to be passed up on. I honestly can't get myself to try anything else cause they are so damn good. Great prices, fast service and veri cute!

Well, I must have loved it since I went twice!! First day tried the BLT as well as a chocolate croissant which is to seriously die for, it is a must. Kiaya (lord I hope that is right) was my server and she was excellent. I had a Pellegrino Blood Orange soda along with my lunch and loved the salad dressing as well! The sandwich was with 1/2 salad and 1/2 potatoes, yum yum. The second time, I had Connor (he will remember Sheldon) who served me. He was awesome. I tried out a blueberry mimosa, an iced mocha and a water (I had been walking a lot and was tired and thirsty, don't judge). Then I just wanted that dang BLT again! I also ordered another almond chocolate croissant (I know, I know, should have tried something else). Well I did get a cookie too! My lunch was taking a little long, so they also brought out a couple of pastry items to try as well, so yum yum! The Chocolate Macaroon was also so wonderful and I cannot say enough about this quaint spot. It did fill up during lunch on the Thursday, so get there early or late! PROS: Main street, easy access from transportation/offices Great selection of homemade pastries Nice choices for drinks (obviously, I tried a few) Super quaint bistro style inside Outside seating under shade and a tree Attentive and exceptional employees (CONNOR) CONS: Parking may be an issue, although some on-street parking available DON'T THINK, JUST GO!

Thankfully, no reservation was needed but it was still really busy. We were able to get seating next to the window; however I do wish the spacing between tables were a little bit bigger, as it feels like everyone's in each other's conversations and forces you to be friends with your neighbors. Not ideal when you're on a date night or trying to be intimate with someone. For drinks, we were interested in trying something before ordering a bottle or a glass. I didn't realize that for a wine sampling like that, it was $3 bucks... We got just a glass, and I went for a custom cocktail. ON the bill, they call it a "bar roulette," and that ran me $20 bucks... yesh, but ok!!! Dinner choices for us were the Clam Chowder & Wagyu Steak. The claim chowder presentation was definitely unexpected as it didn't resemble a Soup as expected. The changing of menus so I was good and I was good to see a couple things still there, but also familiar with some of the new stuff that I saw being delivered did leave me scratching my head.

    We were visiting Salt Lake City from out of town and decided to have dinner at Urban Hill after…read morereading the outstanding reviews. Like many people, we were excited to dine at a restaurant led by a chef who has beaten Bobby Flay. We arrived for our 8:15 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, from that point on, the service became increasingly confusing. Our server seemed flustered from the beginning and even commented that she wanted to make sure everything was right for our experience. When ordering drinks, I asked for a root beer and was told they had one. A few minutes later I was informed they actually didn't and was given a Dr Pepper instead. No big deal--I didn't want to make an issue of it. The bigger problems started with the food service. There were three of us. Two ordered the filet, and one ordered the chicken. The first entrées brought to our table weren't ours at all and had to be taken away. When our actual meals arrived, they were still mixed up. I was served the chicken despite ordering the filet. The same thing happened with dessert. We ordered two Baked Alaskas and one Lemon Cake. Again, the desserts were delivered to the wrong people. These weren't major issues individually, but when they happen repeatedly throughout one meal, it takes away from what should have been an outstanding dining experience. Now for the positive... The kitchen absolutely delivered. The filet was cooked perfectly. The chicken was outstanding. Presentation was beautiful. The Baked Alaska was one of the best I've had. The food easily earns five stars. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience did not. To make matters worse, after I finished the Dr Pepper that I hadn't originally ordered, my glass sat empty for roughly 45 minutes. No refill was offered, and I eventually had to ask for another beverage while dessert was being served. One final observation... The receipt included an optional surcharge for the back-of-house staff. I understand it could be removed upon request, but I don't believe guests should be placed in the position of deciding how restaurant employees are compensated. Pay your team well, price the menu accordingly, and let guests simply enjoy their meal. Urban Hill has one of the most talented kitchens I've experienced in quite some time. If the service can reach the same level as the food, this restaurant would easily deserve five stars.

Everyone is so friendly and the service is quick. I remark every single time about how quick they are to serve us our food. They have remembered my family and bring us our drinks without even needing to ask. Their food is delicious, and we appreciate the authenticity. If you haven't been, and aren't near by to partake in their amazing food regularly, you HAVE to try the Philly asada omelet. You won't regret it!! I saw a comment about the restaurant being dark, but the lighting seems great. Anything much brighter would probably upset my eyes, especially early in the morning (as that's when we typically go). Someone also mentioned the wait is long. The restaurant isn't huge, and if you go at a time when everyone else is also going, usually any time after 9, then of course it'll be busy. Go early and it'll be faster, but either way, the wait is completely worth it. Thank you, to the Our Kitchen Cafe family for being so kind to me and my family. We appreciate your business and hope you continue to succeed!
