    Daily Special (February 2024)
    Farah F.

    This is one of our all time favorite places to drop by once in a few months. My kids actually crave their food :D It's a small restaurant, but their food is S-O good! They have daily specials, or you can pick from their regular menu. The service is very good. They come and check on you even when they are completely full. I usually try to go there after lunch hour to avoid the crowds. Definitely recommend this place.

    Served on Mondays, lamb and this was delicious tasty and tender. Order this and go on Mondays!

    This resturant has been here in Salt Lake City for 21 years, this place is delicious and the family so friendly. The family is from Bosnia and serves Balkan food! I had today's special the Lamb and it was so simple and tasty. Something someone's grandma would cook up. So Ono! A new favorite place to eat when in Utah!

    So clutch for take out, love the Tuesday special of breaded chicken breast with mushroom sauce, served with rice, peas and two slices of soughdough. Seriously so much food for $14. Chicken is crunchy, crispy, and tender, absolutely delicious!

    Café on Main has been a family favorite for years. When you are craving the best in homemade Balkan food, this is the place. Friendly service, fun ambiance, great prices and even better food.

    After driving by the restaurant so many times I had to stop by and give it a try. There's always so many cars here earlier in the morning. I came here for breakfast, we weren't sure what to get or order, they made it easy with sliding photos on the screen. Restaurant definitely had a family mom & pop vibe. Food was great and server/cook was the sweetest. I recommend breakfast here.

    Delicious food. Everything we tried was fantastic. Go for an early dinner, it's not so crowded at that time.

    I've driven by here a thousand times and finally was able to eat here today. First off there is no parking. Well that's not true, there are four spots. There is also a small shared parking lot. Walking into the restaurant you notice the small seating area. You can sit anywhere you want, if there is a seat available. It was pretty busy, a lot of guys were watching the soccer game on the big screen TV. Lots of main dishes to choose from, they all looked good. (Pictures of menu items are on a rotating screen) I just got the special. It came out fairly quickly, piping hot. Generous serving size. Very tasty. Pretty laid back atmosphere, but on the loud side. Between the music, tv, and people having conversations it was hard to hear sometimes.. Wanted try one of their desserts, but was way to full. Maybe next time.

    Amazing! Not only was the owner kind & helpful, but from Bosnia too. The restaurant was full of customers from all over the Mediterranean. Legit Balkan Penisula food. I ordered the small Cevapi with Ajvar & it was plenty of food. So fresh! I tasted my friend's rice, mushroom sauce & cheese pita. They were all good too. My entire meal was $6.25! Wow! Real food.

    I usually go to Delice for treats and pastries, but enjoyed dinner there for the first time…read morerecently. It was surprisingly busy on a Friday night, but we were seated quickly and service was fast. Two of us shared the French onion soup and Cobb salad, and both were excellent. The salad was huge and the blue cheese dressing we selected to go with it was great. We selected pastries to go (the chocolate-dipped almond horns are our favorite) and we will be back often!

    Delice was actually recommended to me by a local! I went with a friend for brunch, with high hoped…read more Let me run it through! When you go into the cafe, and the staff seats you at a table. If you plan to get to-go, you go to the to-go counter and they take your order. This time, we ate for here. Once we were seated with our menus, the staff probably took 10-15 to take our orders, which was a bummer. Though the place was pretty empty (we went really at 11 AM), the staff wasn't efficient enough. For drinks, we got the Cafe au lait and cappuccino. Again, these two didn't hit. The Cafe au lait was really watered down, and it sort of tasted like tea?? Nothing like the cafe au laits I've had in the past. My friend got the cappuccino, and I heard from her that the cappuccino was mediocre. We decided to share pastries: the mille feuille aux fraises, porcupine, and kouign-amann. The mille feuille is considered to be a local favorite! This pastry was good overall, but the Napoleon was really hard and there was a lot of cream. Plus, there were minimal strawberries. We ordered the porcupine because it was so interesting.. I don't think I've seen anything like this anywhere else. However, I felt like the porcupine was the most disappointing. There is a thick layer of chocolate coating, and the inside is a cake, chocolate, I presume? (The flavor lacked richness, so I literally had no idea what I putting in my mouth). In between the two layers of chocolate cake, there was thick cream and rasberry jam. It looked good, though, like a black forest cake! The kouign-amann was the best pastry we tried today. It was perfectly sweet, but I feel like it should be more airy and crunchy. The kouign-amann here is really dense and stiff. However, I don't think this pastry was a loss because of the perfection in sweetness. Im glad I gave Delice a try, but I don't think I'll be back.

The coffee itself comes from specialty beans being brewed by super talented baristas. Pricing on this shop is fairly normal, considering it is a highend shop. I love stopping by because their baked goods are made by Mims bakery and Tomodachi, which are both fantastic. These aren't just frozen baked goods defrosted for a quick snack, but actually worth visiting for by themselves. A perfect compliment to a great cup of coffee. The shop itself has a ton of seats, but they are quite frequently occupied. Expect a busy shop, and if the weather is great, the patio will also be full. The decor of the shop is a little more modern and "clean" with simple design. Plenty of great light, open seating, and a good cup of coffee, are a recipe for a great day.

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!
