Beautifully plated dishes with the fresh fruits and vegetables. Ate here for breakfast and came back 6 hours later for dinner because it was so good. Highly recommend! Service is amazing! read more

New favorite restaurant, hands down. A small business that shows enthusiasm and artistry for what a restaurant is supposed to be. The service was so attentive and kind while having a great sense of humor. They have outside seating which is great for people watching and enjoying the vibes of SLC. The food is fresh, beautifully textured, and complex flavors. I was upset that I was full because I wanted to keep eating since I enjoyed it so much. Oscar and DJ were awesome and would recommend this place to anyone who wants a casual restaurant with an elevated palette and fresh dishes that bring an experience to every bite. read more

I really love this place. This was our first time here and we loved the Thai tea and the brunch food was really flavorful. I ordered the chicken salad for health-- and the sesame dressing was really nice and refreshing. We liked it so much we came for dinner again in one day. I'm from LA and frequent our Thai town and this place is so good and a great benchmark. The neighborhood around here is also pretty cute. read more

Like, just look at the food. The pictures. I personally had the Shakshouka, and it was freakin' amazing. Wonderfully plated and the egg was just perfectly cooked with the yolk still oozing. The tables were a little crowded to each other which made it slightly noisy. If it wasn't so hot outside, I would definitely consider sitting out in the seats that they have outdoors. read more

During a nine-day, multi-state road trip somehow jam-packed with amazing dining establishments, Early Owl stands out clearly in my mind as probably the one place that, if I had to point someone in the direction of a memorable brunch place, would probably be my first choice. From the adorable ambiance, to the stellar service, to the inspired and illustrated menu loaded with enough intriguing entrées to incite a minor crisis of choice, Early Owl is truly something special. Any restaurant with Shakshuka on the menu is going to have a hard time tempting me with anything else, but Early Owl did just that. Fortunately, I am good at resisting temptation, so I stuck to my guns, and was rewarded with one of the finest breakfasts I've had anywhere, ever! Similarly, everyone else at the table was enveloped in rapturous delight by their selections, from avocado toast to a simple bagel and bacon, none of us left hungry or disappointed in any way, shape or form. And if I may be real here, for a sec: what other restaurant do you know that has fresh coconut as a beverage option? Seriously. That's how you dunk on your competitors! The early bird may get the worm, but the Early Owl gets the best breakfast in Salt Lake City, so don't sleep on this one, folks! read more

Early Owl - Avocado toast with extra poached eggs. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Went there for breakfast a few weeks ago with my husband and daughter and it was pretty good. Services and food were good; we were able to sit outside and it was nice. Coffee and the banana berry smoothie were good. The only thing I didn't like was not having the table set up properly with condiments so every time we asked for anything it would take forever .. My personal rate 8/10. I think some dishes are overpriced because they don't eve include potatoes (which were delicious btw) read more

Visited for the first time on my birthday. Oscar immediately greeted us warmly. He provided us with a delicious cup of the Thai tea. Phenomenal flavor. Probably one of my all time faves. We ordered the mango toast and avocado toast plus fried egg side and tea. The tea loose leaf tea presentation was absolutely lovely. Every bite was a delight. Throughout the service and attention to detail was warm and fun. Thank you for the sweet birthday sundae and singing. We adore the owl salt/pepper shakers and will definitely be back. What a treasure in SLC. read more

A friend was visiting from Costa Rica and wanted to check out the Heavy Metal Shop. While we were waiting for it to open we stopped at Early Owl and it was awesome. I got the Salmon scramble, chrysanthemum hot tea, a side of sourdough, and a side of hollandaise sauce $2.50, definitely worth it . I literally left no crumbs and almost literally licked the plate. Plus the interior is super cute with owl themed decor and huge ceilings. It was so clean and the portions and flavor were all on point. Go here, you won't regret it. read more

Salt Lake has an abundance of new residents from elsewhere much to its chagrin. Yes, we're all moving here and driving prices up, blah blah blah. BUT with us, the food scene is improving in increments. Relocating from the Bay Area has been an adjustment culinarily in terms of quality; fresh ingredients, interesting dynamics, plating etc. Early Owl has scratched my aching itch for a delicious, not grease laden, healthy meal, especially breakfast. Which brings me to the Salmon Scramble. It is all of the aforementioned and then some. There are multiple elements, LOTS of veggies and a gloriously generous portion of both smoked salmon and avocado. Upon completion, I feel invigorated, sated and happy. Try the fabulous ginger tea, it's so good and good for you. read more

Depending on the time of the day you might have to wait to be seated. The place has plenty of seating, but it can be busy. It is welcoming and cozy place, perfect for breakfast, lunch or brunch. The staff was attentive and even replaced my wife french toast because she didn't like them. "French toast's t are like deep fried toasts". My mini pancakes were excellent and the omelette, delicious. read more

Driving through Salt Lake and came across this place on Yelp! Did not disappoint, food was delicious and service great. Our server provided great recommendations since it was our first time and we had our 10 month old baby and they provided a high chair and were quick to bring out food! The place is very open with lots of natural light and it's a perfect place to start the day. read more

Early owl was a very fine surprise. I tend to be a bit suspicious of places with cute looking food, but their food tastes just as good as it looks. I got the salmon bowl with smoked salmon, avocado, scrambled eggs, steamed broccoli and roasted/pan fried veggies. The veggies are the highlights! They were cooked separately, and the textures were right. I was inspired. Service is above and beyond, super friendly workers, attentive but not nosy. I really enjoyed my meal here. read more

I actually managed to accidentally come here one morning. I was told about a breakfast taco place and thought that was what I was walking into (the taco place turned out to be right next door) I'm VERY glad I came. I got one of the açaí bowls and no joke, it was not only the best açaí bowl I've ever had (the fruit was all very high quality, the portion was large, it was drenched in honey, and most importantly the açaí itself was delicious), but one of the best breakfasts I've had. Because of my experience here, I've ordered açaí bowls from 4 different places in the last month hoping to scratch the itch, but none of them can get there. So I'll be returning here asap to get my fix read more

Way overrated! We had super slow, clueless, lazy service from our waitress. They use cheap, gross oil used to make their omelets, which were served cold and on plates covered with grease. Irradiated creamer served with coffee. And then the overly confident "chef" comes out and starts working the room as if he's a genius. Wild! read more

If you're looking for a healthy brunch spot that won't make you feel super bloated afterwards I highly recommend checking this place out. Nestled in the cute streets of ninth and 100 not only can you enjoy a yummy meal but you can also pop into a few cute boutiques and shops while you're waiting for your table. We went on a busy weekend morning and waited about 40 minutes for a table. The smoothies were thick, fresh, super filling and delicious. I also enjoyed their avocado toast and mini pancakes. Would definitely come back to try more of their dishes. read more

WOW! Early Owl is located on a gorgeous and fun street called Maven Quarter on 900 S. Such a lively street and just as beautiful inside. The employees are very welcoming, kind, and helpful with recommendations! There was no wait on a Sunday afternoon but the restaurant was quite busy so it was nice to get served so swiftly. The food was outstanding, the quality of the food is shown in the pictures and unique flavors created with each meal. Truly very rare to get such clean ingredients and wide variety. Their drink selection was awesome and fun with fresh fruits as well. Give early owl a try and find your new go to breakfast spot! read more

Light and airy! From the ambiance to the food itself. It's a really cute little breakfast spot but I can't quite identify the type of cuisine. I want to say it's "healthy" but I'm not entirely sure how each dish is prepared. (My eggs were pretty oily.) But the ingredients seemed relatively fresh and I liked how each menu item had a picture for reference. I got the salmon scramble and my boyfriend got the rice bowl with chicken. I really liked my salmon scramble but it felt like a keto dish-- it was begging for a complex carbohydrate. And my boyfriend liked his rice bowl but he said he was still really hungry afterwards. Ultimately, I'm glad I tried Early Owl Cafe and I enjoyed my first visit but I'm not necessarily dying to go back anytime soon. read more

This place is adorable. I was so happy to find a well done cafe in SLC that got food, service, and ambiance on point. Usually I've only found places like this in Vegas, SF, Portland etc. so it was so refreshing to finally find something similar in SLC. Each dish was very aesthetically pleasing which I personally just truly appreciate. I think the fine detail that is put into creating not only good tasting but beautiful playing and pretty good is an under-appreciated art. I was so pleased that Early Owl hit on all the details but that their food and service was also just good as well. I loved that the ambience was quiet and quaint instead of having to yell over each other. It was exactly what I need in the morning for breakfast, laid back, relaxing, quiet (but not too quiet), and chill. Overall a beautiful experience and even more beautiful food, will be back! read more

I really wanted to love this place. The restaurant is beautiful, the presentation is lovely, and the atmosphere fits the Maven District perfectly. The staff was friendly, and our server was pleasant throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the price point. My friend ordered avocado toast with poached eggs, and the egg I tried was surprisingly cold and lacked seasoning. The coffee was consistently lukewarm throughout our visit. I ordered the cheesesteak sandwich, which had good flavor but was quite greasy, leaving me with an upset stomach afterward. We also shared the mini pancakes. While they were beautifully presented with a generous bowl of fruit, the portion was much smaller than expected for the price. Toward the end of the meal, we discovered a hair in the fruit bowl. What disappointed me most was the response. When the cook asked how the meal was, I politely mentioned the hair. Later, I also shared feedback about the lukewarm coffee, cold poached egg, and greasy sandwich with a staff member. No one came to look at the fruit bowl, there was little acknowledgment of the issue, and no apparent concern or attempt to make things right. For three people, our breakfast was over $80 before tip, and at that price I expect both quality food and a stronger response when a legitimate concern is raised. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium experience, but this visit fell short. I hope they take customer feedback seriously because the space has a lot of potential. For now, there are other breakfast spots in the area I would choose before returning. read more

A very cute but healthy brunch spot! Loved their menu cause it wasnt just cute and creative but also had really healthy options. I tried their breakfast platter with buns and like 10 kinds of freshly cut fruits. The assortment of fruits was just not well garnished but it was literally any kind of fruit possible. Would totally recommend it! read more

Can totally see this spot blowing up as a coveted "aesthetic" brunch spot if it hasn't already! Gorgeous presentation and great food. Early Owl was one of our favorite stops on our trip. Charming owl-themed decor throughout the restaurant, especially the adorable little salt shakers. We came by on a Monday afternoon and were seated immediately. Staff are incredibly gracious and attentive. PASSION FRUIT SODA: Remember to mix. Love the purée with crunchy arils. GRANOLA YOGURT FRUIT: I fell for yet another beautiful parfait bowl... This was delicious! As vibrant as it is flavorful. Love the medley of fresh tropical fruits and the chewy, dense granola. For this quality, I can justify $14 for a parfait LOL CHEESY SASSY: This is essentially cheesy toast with eggs LOL. Seasoned perfectly, not too salty nor heavy. The tangy balsamic salsa plus avocado add a refreshing kick. My bf pretty much inhaled his Salmon Scramble LOL. Everything is plated with so much care, without sacrificing any of the flavor. Def coming back to try their other menu offerings next time we're in town! read more

Delicious and healthy breakfast options! Had the smoked salmon scrambled eggs with grilled veggies. Very fresh. My mom has the Super Bowl which was a huge bowl of açaí with fresh banana blueberry and other fruit. The mango juice was fresh and not too sweet. All in all a great option for a healthy filling lunch. Love that they have a lot of savory and sweet options to choose from. Impressed their dinner menu is totally different and would try if I have the time but traveling from out of town. Service was very friendly and place is clean. read more

Service? Stellar. Our server had Jedi-level reflexes--our drinks never even thought about running low. The food? Bursting with flavor. I was genuinely shocked (and delighted) to find the fruit perfectly sweet--most places avoid ripe fruit because of shelf stability, but somehow they nailed it. The veggies in the cheesy sassy were chopped so fine it felt like edible confetti. You can taste the love and care in every bite--this place doesn't just serve food, it serves happiness on a plate. read more

Classic breakfast diner with a healthy superfood spin. The menu was beautifully designed with excellent photographs of all the dishes. I've never seen a breakfast joint put so much effort into plating. Bravo! Excellent fresh smoothie and juice options. Great depth of flavor with the "Cheesy Sassy" dish with a balsamic reduction and salsa sauce. The French toast was unusual with the bread being hard and almost candied. Not bad but also not meeting the typical expectations for a fluffy French toast meal. Ambience and service were excellent. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more
