    Banana Bread Latte
    Hannah F.

    Picnic Cafe is a great space for the community. They are regularly partnering with other businesses and restaurants to put on fun events and pop-ups. I've enjoyed taking cooking classes at Picnic, just going for coffee, and I've been to one of their pop-ups with a local bookstore. Picnic Cafe isn't just a cafe - it's a place for community and gathering. The delicious coffee and baked goods are a nice bonus!

    My latte was delicious and the staff were so kind and having so much fun behind the counter. It was great vibes the whole time I was there.

    I recently discovered Picnic Cafe and have visited 3 times since discovery. They may not be known for their everything bagels but they are very good for SLC. Each time, I have ordered an iced strawberry matcha and my partner usually drinks an iced latte. The iced latte's are good and reliable. The iced raspberry matcha is on the sweeter side, in my opinion. The sweetness is not overwhelming but is notable compared to my other go-to matcha spot. They have a quaint inside seating area with spots to get work done. If you're there to chat, their outdoor patio is where I'd choose to sit. Parking throughout the neighborhood around, there are not assigned spots available. My one complaint is that they open at 8 am. I would love to occasionally stop by on my way to work but that is far too late. I haven't been to any other coffee shops in SLC that aren't open until 8.

    I've been touring through the cafes in SLC and would definitely put this one on the list of places to stop. They have great options from the pastry counter with rotating flavors. Publik coffee beans for their drinks and a really welcoming environment. It's clean and simple inside and the drinks are great. It's street parking, but tucked off the busy roads, so easier to access. Plenty of seating for a reasonable sized group and open seating to work from during the week day.

    Absolutely love this little cafe. They have such fun everchanging drink options, friendly service and the entire shop is drenched in sunlight. A great spot for catching up, meetings and getting some work done. Big fan of their matcha, its rich and earthy while still sweet.

    Banana cream pie latte
    Jose T.

    Tried the banana cream pie latte and i really enjoyed it. It gets better in the end too. A little on the sweet side. I usually try a mocha so they added mocha syrup to it. Will have to go back to try the Vietnamese I keep hearing about.

    Halva latte - seasonal fall drink

    I'm from Los Angeles and this cafe is by FAR the best coffee I've have had in Utah and the best coffee shop I've been to in Utah. I got the halva latte and it is delicious. I love that their coffee is not acidic at all compared to other coffee shops in Utah. The price of the coffee is similar to the price of coffee at other coffee shops in Salt Lake City but 1000% worth the price. All their baked goods are homemade and the people who work here are so kind and have such good energy. Definitely a great place to start your day. It is also a great place to study or get some work done. They have wifi and have quite a few outlets along the wall. Since I am in school during the day, I do wish their hours were a little longer or open earlier, but it is a nice treat for me to come on the weekends. They do not have a parking lot, but parking is pretty easy since they are located in a nice quiet neighborhood near Liberty park. If you are in the area you MUST come to picnic cafe!!

    Vietnamese coffee with pandan cream
    Tiffani S.

    I love this place! The vietnamese coffee is to die for!! i love it so much especially with the pandan cream! I feel we need more pandan and vietnamese coffee in utah! The vibes are so cute and they have the best blueberry muffin. The baristas are always so friendly and I just think this place is perfect to study or to chat with some friends/family. Parking can be hard as it's on the street but it's worth it for this place.

    My favorite neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is great and they have a wonderful patio to sit out on in the spring and summer

    I wandered in for a quick coffee but I couldn't resist having a scone and sitting on their outside patio for a minute. The coffee options were unique and everything sounded so good, i ended up going for an orange creamsicle latte, it was delicious and i was pleasantly surprised by the cost. They don't charge extra for milk substitutions and that's such a breath of fresh air. The chai apple pie scone was so good that my friend and I couldn't split just one we had to grab a second one. On top of that everyone working was friendly and helpful, this is definitely going to become a new go to coffee spot.

    Great spot! Good coffee, great natural light, good tables for working or socializing, and proprietors of one of the best bagels I've ever had in SLC!

    The Viennese coffee was amazing. The Asiago bagel is also yummy. Good spots to study although, the bench gets the AC blown up your back.

I got a strawberry Mojito without alcohol. They have a fancy name, but I forgot. I asked for recommendations and they gave me quite a few amazing things to think about. I ended up with the steak salad and French toast. They were so good. I want to go back tomorrow to eat it again. I've seen they plated it a little differently on salads. So I wasn't sure how this would be. Every steak was so tender and perfectly seasoned. The shaved brussels sprout was delicious and the avocado was perfect. They were kind enough to change the cheese. I'm still thinking about that salad and beef. The French toast was so good. I wish I took a picture of the bottom so you could see how much vanilla and cinnamon and yumminess was at the bottom of this French toast. The maple syrup was real maple syrup because you could taste it. I was so happy The bathrooms were big and clean and they had period products into women's bathroom. . My server was kind enough to offer to plate or package any bakery items. So I took home six different things. There was one I was curious about and she gave me her honest opinion that it looks good but it's the one item she does not like on the menu. So I ordered something else and the strawberry I can't remember the name was delicious. I may get a Lyft to come back again tomorrow Omg this was the highlight of my weekend. So many things have gone wrong this weekend, but this was a gem.

I will be back here one day to try more times! Parking is bad. Lot was full, so I took a street parking spot thinking I was just going in for a couple minutes. Guess what.. I got a ticket and it made me cry inside. Lesson learned. Be careful y'all.

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!

I was seated promptly at the bar and my order was taken quickly. My Dubai pancakes came out fast. I ordered two pancakes in a stack and was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to finish them because they were quite large! Needless to say... I finished with ease and was quite proud of myself! The pancakes were fresh, fluffy, and spongy. The perfect combination... Exactly what a pancake should be! My only regret is that I didn't try multiple flavors of cake cakes. Next time when I go back, I will try to diversify!

Endless refill on coffee that was unexpectedly excellent quality. No need to rely heavily on creamer to mask that burned taste from a communal, industrial pot. She advised us portions were large so we opted to split the pot of gold breakfast with half gravy and half chile verde. They plated it, as well as our split heavenly hot cakes, separately. We upgraded our pancakes to have bananas, caramel, and whipped cream, and they generously portioned said toppings on *both of our plates*. And holy god was that whipped cream delicious. I only wish their space was bigger and tables were less cramped, what with the plates, coffee cups, and sauces.
