    Charming neighborhood coffee shop in the Avenues. The kind of place you walk into and instantly want to linger, but I was just grabbing a quick bite before work and only ordered food. Street parking was easy. I got a breakfast sandwich and a bagel with cream cheese for a friend. Both were decent but nothing mind-blowing, solid 3/5. The staff were friendly, and the space itself is great: spacious, comfy, 5/5 vibe. Ended up giving them a 4/5 overall. I'm excited to come back to try their drinks next time.

    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!

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.

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 !
