    The Bomb
    Gemini U.

    When ordering a frozen mocha, it's either a hit or a miss depending on which location, and who is making it. This was my first time at this location, and it surpassed my expectations. From the service to one of the best frozen mocha's I've had in a long time. My daughter told me about the "Bomb" you can get here. I trust her, so I decided to order it. I had no idea this even existed, or I would have been ordering these all along. They are not on the "menu" so you have to ask for them. What they are is the frozen mocha, but with crunched up chocolate coffee beans. Ohhh so good. My new favorite foo foo drink. Service is drive thru only, but they get you in and out pretty quick. One thing I liked at this location was if your drinks were going to take a little bit longer to make, they have you "pull up" so that they can help the next customer. I wish more drive-thru places did this, so you don't have to wait for the car in front of you if their order is going to take longer than your "house" coffee order.

    Coffee To Cold Foam Ratio

    My Absolute Favorite Drink Is The Iced Caramel Cubano With Sweet Cream Cold Foam. But Lately It's Been A Hit Or Miss. One Day, Almost Half The Cup Was Coffee And The Rest Was Foam, Another Day, They Forgot To Add Whatever Sweetener They Put In It And It Was Too Bitter For Me To Drink. Lastly, The Most Recent Time, They Gave Me A 20oz Instead Of The 24oz I Asked For): I Use To ALWAYS Tip And I Love You Guys But Yall Needa Step It Up.

    Spilling out the sides of the cup. Lids don't fit properly.

    Coffee tasted fine but why are your lids so loose. I cannot take a drink of coffee without it dripping all over me. As you can see in the photo, when I'm not drinking it, it's spilling out the sides of the cup when I drive (where the lid makes physical contact with the cup). There is seriously coffee all over my car, and I left a good tip ‍

    My first time to this establishment. Easy in and out for the drive through. Right across the street from East High school. Service was friendly and pretty quick. My latte was just okay. I'd try them again but maybe order differently.

    Frozen chai
    Michelle N.

    My favorite drink to get here is the frozen chai. It's perfect for a hot day and is so delicious. They give you a little chocolate covered coffee bean with your drink! I'm not a big coffee person anymore but it's a nice touch. Fast & good service too!

    The smoothies here are BOMB! It's a very nice after work pit stop. My favorite smoothie here is the strawberry banana and the chocolate coffee beans are a nice touch. The service here is also really really good. Whenever I bring my dog here they always offer him a bone and the smoothies are very consistent. Overall, service is fast and great, smoothies are amazing, and the location is easily assessable. 5/5.

    Great stop to start the day! Loved the drive-up friendly & fast service with decent prices! I had the hot ivory mocha & was not disappointed. The chocolate covered bean was a fun touch and they even made our dog Faye feel special with a treat for her.

    Iced cinnamon dolce, so good!

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.

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.

I love jasmine flavor so much and I have never seen a matcha with this flavor. It was delicious and not too sweet. The jasmine flavor was strong but not overpowering. It was super delicious and I could chug like 100 more of these haha. I also got an avocado toast and it was delicious and I loved the type of bread they used. I would say it was a better than your average avocado toast but nothing spectacular. The cafe was busy and I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I was served for both my drink and food. It was great! There's also tons of seating both indoors and outdoor and I loved the casual hangout vibe this place had. Overall I loved this place and I would like to come again to try the coffee.
