Publik kitchen is a cute little dine in restaurant on 9th&9th. The coffee is amazing not too acidic and the people are very kind. Their food is really good too! Not the place to study, though they do have coffee shops located elsewhere. Parking is a little tough since it is street parking, but there are neighborhoods that you can walk from. read more

Publik has a cool modern feel and classic menu. The homemade sausage is a must-order--perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. I also had the granola, which was crunchy and lightly sweet, and the hash, which was hearty and satisfying. Everything was well-prepared and delicious. Great food, cool atmosphere. Staff were very kind and service was fast! read more

I came to get breakfast in here. I know their coffee is really good, so I also wanted to give their food a try. Their brunch is good. I tried their toast and gravy, which was ok, and the burger was good. I also got the French toast, which was ok. I'm just going to stick to their coffee. read more

Ordered the BLT with the salad, an extra side of a cup of soup (tomato basil bisque) and two sunny side up eggs. Perfect. The BLT had crispy and generous amounts of bacon, the toast was crunchy from embedded grains, and their Amour tomato jam tied everything together with sweet and umami notes. Dip it with a side of tomato basil bisque or a runny yolk from a side of sunny-side up eggs. Coffee was also great, I ordered a cappuccino to start off while waiting for the food. Great service, waiters don't bug you too much during the meal; coming back for sure. read more

Publik Kitchen - BLT with side of salad. Added a cup of tomato basil soup and two sunny side up eggs. Perfect match for a perfect brunch. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

This place is absolutely phenomenal. The people are so kind, real, and provide great service (our server Zack was so epic and helpful). The avocado toast - unreal. The French toast - to DIE for. 1000% would bring all my friends and family here and come here on my own. read more

This place is on 9th and 9th and seriously our go to spot to grab some lunch. I always crave the amazing salad they have. Their drinks are delightful and when it's warm you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. The service has always been great and so kind. This is one of the many reasons we always come back. read more

Service is great, the staff is very friendly! The food is tasty. I did find it a bit expensive. Their coffee is definitely very tasty.

Great food, excellent service, place is real white could turn the lights down and some art on the wall The pork chop was amazing.

A great spot for breakfast in the 9th and 9th area! Publik Kitchen is a cute, chic place where the coffee selection is huge and the food is as aesthetic as it is delicious. Our server, Britt, was happy to recommend their most popular breakfast dishes and I decided on the Publik Breakfast with bacon and Strawberry Rhubarb jam with my toast. I'm obsessed with the bread they source from a local Park City bakery called Red Bicycle Breadworks. Their bread makes the best toast. I loved that as a Publik Coffee shop fan, I could order my favorite, the Browned Butter Caramel Latte, all while enjoying the Publik Kitchen breakfast. Highly recommend this place! read more

Good food, but i'm never going to dine there again. Service was extremely slow, probably the worst service I have had. There was only one server, and they spent most of the time talking to customers instead of doing their job, Please hire new servers. read more

I got the veggie sandwich and a mimosa, both were really delicious and worth the price. The service was courteous and relaxed and quick. The bathrooms are also so clean and well stocked. Their powdered soap is a nice plus, my hands felt so clean read more

Publik Kitchen - Bar area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Sat and ordered at the counter. I waited for my BLT for 40 minutes. Another guy left because he had been there for 50 minutes with no food. The server cancelled my order and I left. read more

Your payment screen starts with a 22% suggestion of tip. Then moves to 20% and 15%. This begs the question- why are you asking for a tip. This is not a full service restaurant. You stand in line to give an order. Your name is called and you must go fetch your food. There are bins for garbage and dishes. The expectation is for you to clear your own table off. I'm waiting on myself, I'll keep the tip for all of my work. Now for the positive. Food is fairly good. Coffee is too grassy but some like it that way (not bad but not my favorite). I do keep returning, however I find leaving 50 cents or a dollar to be more than generous on my part. You could step out from the counter, call out the name and go take the food to the table. Might help you feel better about your suggested tip. read more

Best coffee in town! The food is always a banger, and the service workers have the best vibes.

First, a note to the owner - please pick different music. No one wants to listen to Toxic, Soulja Boy, Forever by Chris Brown, and EDM remixes for Sunday brunch. Don't get me wrong, good music, wrong time and place. Arrived at 10:20 am and ended up waiting almost 45 minutes. But if you arrive before 9am and after 11am you can usually be seated faster. Don't skip on the coffee, Publik roasts their own coffee, and the baristas are always on point! We ordered the breakfast sandwich w/ bacon, breakfast burrito w/ bacon, and French toast. The Breakfast Sandwich was sorely disappointing, reminiscent of a fast food chain, lacking in both flavor, originality, and substance... and house potatoes were under cooked. The Breakfast Burrito was actually quite spicy! But pretty packed full and had good flavor and texture, however the side salad it came with is only mixed greens with some dressing (so get the potatoes). The French Toast was by far the highlight of the meal, thick pieces with a delicious cinnamon butter on the side. Overall, pretty over hyped. But the service was great. read more

When you're looking for a cute place to have delicious coffee at Publik Kitchen will not disappoint! Went on a Saturday afternoon. They were not too busy, but did let us know they were behind and it would be a bit to get our drinks and food, which it did. The brown butter latte was amazing!!!! My favorite now. I ordered the special bread pudding, I was disappointed, wasn't the bread pudding I was expecting that you would get at most places, that is warm and gooey. This to me seemed more like a scone. Cold. I had a side of breakfast potatoes, that was pretty decent and a good portion. My friend ordered a decaf latte and that looked good. She got the veggie burrito, that was mainly just tortilla, a disappointment as well. She got a side of buttered toast she liked and a side of potatoes. Overall, entree itself wasn't that great, but coffee and side potatoes were good! read more

Coffee enthusiast here, Are you a restaurant or a coffee shop? I just wanted a coffee on my walk. What a gross experience. Waited like 20 minutes for the party of 2 in front of me to be seated. Then I ordered and directed to wait outside till it was done. Black cold brew. Gross experience. read more

I like the food and coffee, but the service is consistently horrendous. The staff at Public Kitchen on 9th and 9t is so apathetic, careless and aloof, it feels like they don't want you there. The restaurant can be half empty, with staff standing around doing nothing and you still cannot get decent service. It is always slow and indifferent - protracted delays, no one ever checks on you, offers coffee or water refills, etc. Today our server came back to tell us they were out of Nutella (part of our order), but instead of been apologetic, she announced it with such atypical enthusiasm, I thought she expected a round of high-fives from everyone, which was absurdly comical. It usually takes me a year to get over disappointment of last visit before I come back for more bad service... read more

I would absolutely come back and eat here again! The only negative comment I have is about the wait time to be seated and to get the food being a little on the lengthier side, despite quite a few empty tables. My friend and I went on a Sunday morning, and there was a small handful of other people waiting to be seated. Plenty of open tables, we were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait. It ended up being almost 30 minutes, with the wait for our server to take our orders as well as the wait for our food also being a little slower. They must've been understaffed, so it didn't bug us that much. The food itself was definitely delicious. The avocado toast had the right amount of seasoning, and they pile on a very large helping of avocado. It was probably one of the best avocado toasts I've had in a restaurant! When my plate arrived, I was worried that I'd made a mistake in ordering a side of country potatoes, because I tend to like my potatoes crispy, and not the soggier red potato style. However, the potatoes were seasoned so well, and the onions and bell peppers took them over the top. All in all, this was a cute little breakfast spot that I would absolutely return to, the next time I find myself in the city! read more

Publik Kitchen - Avocado Toast with a side of Country Potatoes (I added the ketchup) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I've tried to patronize this business 4 times and only successfully done so once. Every time I go here, no matter what day it is or what time of day, the hostess always tells me it's a 40 minute wait. I've gone here by myself or in a party of 2, and I hear this from her every time. It's odd because every time she says this the restaurant appears to be at roughly 40-60% capacity with plenty of open tables and bar seating. The one time I ate here, it took only 5 minutes to get my avocado toast and coffee. The toast was good, and it had plenty of avocado on it, and my latte was perfect. The service was very fast. The servers were super kind and helpful. Yet, the 45 minutes I sat there I saw the hostess turn 3 separate couples away. Mind you, over half of the tables were available. Basically, don't go here unless you have over an hour to wait, and definitely don't go here if you have more than 2 people. They like to keep the place empty, so even if it doesn't look busy you might be told to wait before sitting. read more

GF and I were in the area and getting hungry. We parked and were walking along 9th and 9th seeking a place with coffee and healthy options to eat. We ended up at Publik Kitchen. Love the new design and facelift. We love eating outside so we were happy this was an option. The staff was great! Our waitress was just excellent as was the food. The BLT and veggie sandwich were delicious as was the matcha latte and iced coffee. Overall just a great experience and I would tell anyone to proceed with confidence. We will definitely be returning. read more

The food is good, but not great. The coffee is yummy. I really enjoy their outdoor patio area. It's a reliable place to get breakfast from in the area. read more

Publik Kitchen - Hash and brown sugar latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

We are driving across the country and wanted a brunch place to slow down for the day. This was in a very cute area with lots of dogs and grass. Great for our pup to be on the patio. Server is very attentive. Our pup even got her own water bowl! We got our brown sugar latte and cosmonaut pretty quickly. I also got a cold chai latte at the end of the meal which was delicious! Their drinks are amazing! I got the hash and my partner got the burrito. Burrito not pictured because he wolfed that down haha. The hash was good. Potatoes are pretty good with the egg and toast. Everything is served in to go containers. Including the drinks in Dixie cups. We would do it again if we went back and on a week day. It was very busy with dine in and a LOT of takeout so I think that was prioritized over the dine in but it was delicious and everyone was nice so cannot fault them for being busy! read more

Easy, modern, cozy work lunch spot. Good house made soups, fresh veggies, seems like unprocessed foods. Nice!

Love this place! Food was delicious and the coffee is amazing! Definite must go if you're in Salt Lake!

Best matcha latte I've ever had! And affordably priced, might I add. My matcha latte was creamy and sweet in all the right places. I'm a huge matcha fan, so I've had matcha from all over the world. Publik does a really fantastic job. I also love that they so loudly promote inclusivity. Loved seeing the pride flag as well as the posters in their window! read more

Publik Kitchen - everyone is welcome! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

My wife and I ate here for the first time an loved it! We were there for breakfast. Love the design of the place. The food was all 4.5/5 and very good. We shared and enjoyed having the sweetness of the French toast which was SO yummy and the savory items to compliment it. I got bottomless coffee and they were on top of refilling it. My wife got a Matcha which wasn't her favorite. It lacked the sweetness that some matchas have but some people may like it that way. read more

I'm visiting my daughter for Thanksgiving and decided to try this restaurant around the corner from where she lives. Great vibe, sunny dining room and our waitress, Sophia, was attentive and personable. I ordered the quinoa salad with chicken ~ yum! The portion size was larger than I had anticipated so I took half home to enjoy! My daughter had the peanut butter/banana toast with Nutella with a side of crispy bacon and thoroughly enjoyed her meal. Thanks Sophia and Publik Kitchen! We will be back. read more

I'm torn about my first experience dining at Publik Kitchen. We were surprised to find that they're still only doing to-go orders with limited seating on the lawn and requiring masks to be worn on the porch. We watched multiple parties come and go due to lack of seating. We let a group sit with us so they could enjoy their food while sitting instead of standing or sitting on the sidewalk. We ordered an americano and a latte to start and we couldn't help but laugh when we saw that they were served in Dixie cups. And to top it off, neither drink was made very well. I was expecting the coffee to be the best part of their menu but was very disappointed after a few sips and couldn't finish it. The food was good! The burrito was outrageously large and the French toast was comically small. The burrito was well seasoned and the texture and flavor of the French toast was delicious. But the cinnamon butter wasn't very spreadable, so that made it difficult to eat. It wasn't a terrible dining experience, but it didn't WOW me enough to want to go back. read more

First off, the coffee was excellent. That being said, the food was truly terrible - I got a breakfast sandwich which (unbeknownst to me) was just a sausage patty, egg, and some onions on a giant burger bun. I'm easy to please but this was just bad. I took a few bites trying to get my moneys worth ($15 sandwich) and left the rest. The potato's were completely unseasoned but fine with some ketchup. If you want coffee, get it to go and get food elsewhere - this was trash. Only writing a review because I'm upset that I spent $26 after tip for such terrible food and a latte. read more

We enjoyed our brunch at Publik Kitchen. The food and service were both good. The space is bright and welcoming.

I love the area where this place is at. Parking sucks, but it's worth going here. The food is so good, drinks are fun, and the ambiance is nice and chill. The service is OK. Great place to meet up with a friend to catch up. read more

Wow! The new Publik renovations are fantastic, there is so much patio seating and the inside is spacious as well. We had only a few minute wait when we came at peak brunch time and sat on the patio. It was very hot outside but the patio still felt perfectly cool in the shade! The server recommended the brown butter latte which was the best coffee drink I've ever had. Everyone's breakfast plates looked amazing, I got the sausage, eggs, and bread and added avocado. Can't wait to come back here soon! read more

Publik Kitchen - Breakfast plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Good service and tasty food. Nice decor. I'd definitely go back, and in fact I have.

I loved the breakfast plate! Fresh quality food. The wheat bread and thick and toasted. My sunny side up eggs were cooked (almost) perfect. The potatoes were good and cooked through. They were not the crunchy, but I was not expecting that. My favorite part was the fresh avocado with slight olive oil and salt and the tomato jam. You get the taste of the tomatoes but it was sweet and paired well with the bread. The bacon was a little crispy for my taste. Their orange juice is cheap and DELICIOUS! The staff really put care into the food and drinks they're putting out and we're all friendly and happy :) read more

Publik Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Food was pretty good, I enjoyed the hash and my friend liked the burger. But damn the service is so slow. We called and the hostess said there was no wait. When we arrived 7 min later, we waited 15 min. It took almost an hour for our food to arrive. I don't always have this much time to eat so it'll be hard for me to return. read more

Publik Kitchen is owned and operated by the same people that operate Publik Coffee Roasters! So if you like coffee and have or haven't tried Publik Coffee Roasters, you don't have to go too far to find their Avenues location which is BEAUTIFUL. It is on 900 and 900 also known as 9th and 9th. Across from Salt and Honey; a two story beautiful building you would expect to see in New York! The market and area has mostly locally owned businesses and not a lot of chain restaurants. Everything around here is good for food and shopping. If you're visiting go across the street and buy something made in Salt Lake with some souvenirs to bring back or have for yourself to remember your time in Salt Lake and help others realize, there are some super cool things here!!! read more
