    Caprese Grilled Cheese and chips
    David M.

    My first visit to Guru's Cafe was a revelation. Located on a busy street, I went at the recommendation of colleagues who knew that it was walking distance from my hotel (the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Provo, Utah). The menu is difficult to categorize. A little bit Tex-Mex; a little bit Indian; a little bit Italian; a little bit American -- and all of it made me want to order the menu! I ordered the Caprese Grilled Cheese (served with chips and a pickle). The grilled cheese, as one would expect, was basil pesto, tomato and cheese grilled between fresh focaccia. Succulent! I just wish it were a little bit larger, as it was not as large as I had hoped it might have been. The star of my meal, however, was the half order of Sweet Potato Fries that I ordered. Easily, and by a wide margin, the best sweet potato fries I have ever had. Crisp, no sogginess, perfect flavor. I embarrassed myself by eating more than enough for two or even three people. They will be my benchmark for sweet potato fries going forward. I will not hesitate to visit again!

    Great cafe right on main street Provo. I go here for coffee occasionally. The food is also amazing and lots of options with healthy portions but it's always packed haha. Big enough place though with two big rooms combined and outdoor seating. The focaccia sandwhich is to die for.

    Veggie bowl and a cookie.

    Atmosphere is casual. The food is good. Good amount of vegetarian options on the menu. Portions are good. Service is amazing and quick. Prices are fair. Everything is getting to be pricey. Large space with outlets if you need to plug in and do work or homework

    Black and blue quesadillas
    Dan S.

    We stopped by Guru's prior to going to a comedy show with some friends around 5:30 on a Friday. There was already a line to order and they were quite busy. The line was fast and we were eating before too much time had passed. Huge menu, reasonably priced, quick food. Lots to choose from and try. We ordered the Black and Blue Steak Wrap. I thought it was good but could only taste the blue cheese. I like blue cheese but wanted to taste the steak too. 3/5 My wife ordered the Maui Wowie wrap and it was really messy to the point you couldn't pick it up. My wife thought it would be better as a rice bowl with a fork. 3/5 Chips and Queso, lots of chips, queso was a little disappointingly bland, lacking flavor. When does cheese lack flavor? 2/5 Sweet Potato Fries. These were the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Seasoned really well and their smokey, bbq, fry sauce went with them perfectly. I'm actually craving these again now. A must order item. 5/5 Cookie Skillet Sunday. Amazing, slightly under cooked and doughy, just like a Sunday should be. 5/5 Well give it another try if we're back in town as there was a bunch of things on the menu that sounded good.

    Salmon Tacos

    Food was great!! Wish it came out more warm, fries were pretty cold. We had to wait quite awhile for a salad to come out too. Staff wasn't super concerned with making sure food was brought out efficiently. However it was really flavorful and the space was open and great for dates or groups!

    I wish this menu was updated because I drove all the way here from Pleasant Grove to get this delicious chicken salad sandwich that was on the menu when I arrived he told me he hasn't seen that menu in years. Please update your advertisement.

    Funky "trees" in Guru's
    Trevor M.

    This place is so weird. Which isn't bad, but I have no clue what type of vibe they're going for inside, since there's funky little fake trees and some fun lighting and also a portrait of Gandhi on the wall. It could make for a really interesting roommate outing or date night, but their menu is pretty hit or miss, at least with the people I've gone with. To order, you go up to the register at the counter, then grab a number and seat yourself, and then they bring your food out to your table. The menu has a wide variety of options, but, again, I'm not exactly sure what vibe or cuisine they're going for. I've gotten the curry quesadilla a few times. One time I actually went to the restaurant specifically for the curry quesadilla, which is a good sign. Their sweet potato fries are also pretty good. The last time I was there, it took so long to get my food that I had to go up and ask about it, and then my quesadilla was a little too salty on the outside. Overall, a fun little place in downtown Provo that's easy to get to on the UVX and has pretty good value for the price. (Updated to add photos)

    Marco Polo pasta
    LeAnn B.

    The pastas we ordered were both good, both of them have artichoke hearts in them. Apparently veggie part on the menu is for vegetarian, good karma noodle has tofus instead of meat, the workers need to know their menu better because the one I talked to didn't explained it well. Sweet potato fries is always a hit!

    vegan Good Karma Noodles

    so happy they have vegan options! i got the "good karma noodles" and coconut squash soup. everything tasted very fresh and they loaded up the toppings on my pasta. soo much food for $17. i like that you order at the counter then seat yourself. i will definitely be back here.

They were neither heavy nor fluffy, but a delightful in between and they had a great flavor even plain. I had the caramel waffles and my mom got the lemon curd ones and both were fantastic. My dad got the pancakes and said they were delicious. All the full meals were fantastic and a good value for the price. The drinks not so much. $5 for soda and $6 for juice. They are bottomless and the owner came around asking if we wanted refills or if we wanted our drinks in a to go cup at the end of the meal. So that was nice, but I'd still rather have a $3 cup of juice. I didn't have the cinnamon rolls (or maybe they call them sweet rolls) but they were small and didn't look too appetizing. The overall experience, environment (seating, light fixtures, decor, and doodle books), and meals were all fantastic!

Order at counter hot food delivered to the table. I am now onto the coffee! We love dark roast black coffee and like everything else this was wonderful! Such good rich flavor and not bitter at all. Refillable cup too!!! Highly recommend this place for anyone not just gluten free diners!

    Sooo cute inside. Vegan pastries and vegan/sugar free options as well. They have a ton of both…read morehouse made (yummm) and commercial syrups. The matcha was really good (as a Californian, I don't usually have high hopes for Utah matcha, but I was very happy). Got my brother a toasted marshmallow latte with toasted marshmallow cold foam. Super good. Mom loved her Americano with lavender pride cold foam Definitely check this place out if you're in Provo!!!!!!!

    I had a disappointing experience at Peace on Earth Coffee…read more I specifically ordered a matcha latte with a substitution for health reasons, so accuracy mattered to me. I made sure to confirm this substitution was available before placing my order. After drinking it, I became concerned that my substitution had not been applied, so I tried to contact the store. It took multiple calls to reach a manager, but once I did, they acknowledged that a new employee had likely made a mistake and apologized. Although it was difficult to get in touch with someone, I appreciate their willingness to hear my concerns and their attempts to rectify the situation. When I returned to the store for the agreed-upon refund, however, the experience became frustrating. The manager, Aubrey, initially attempted to refund me for a less expensive drink and seemed unwilling to believe me when I explained what I had paid. I clarified that I was not seeking reimbursement for the tip, only the agreed-upon refund for my purchase. Her tone felt irritated and dismissive throughout the interaction. Fortunately, I still had my receipt with me and was able to verify the correct amount. Mistakes happen, and I appreciate that the store acknowledged the possibility of an error. What disappointed me most was how the refund was handled. I left feeling that my concerns were met with skepticism rather than understanding. Additionally, on a completely separate side note, while I was there, I noticed a customer had a dog inside the café. When I first visited with my friend, we had her dog with us and we were told dogs were only welcome on the patio because they had an open kitchen. So it was unexpected to see this dog inside and drinking from a reusable customer water cup provided by Peace on Earth. The inconsistency in enforcing store policies was surprising. I hope the business uses this as an opportunity to improve employee training and customer service.
