What People Are Saying About Salt Lake Roasting Co. and Cafe

The Scene – The spacious cafe is a popular hangout for students and downtown businesspeople. In addition to a number of tables, the main floor boasts two roasters, an old-fashioned scale and a pile of burlap bags filled with coffee beans. A central staircase takes you upstairs where there is more seating, and walls decorated with maps. – – The Food – While coffee is the main attraction (the selection from around the world is staggering), there is a surprisingly good cafe menu that changes daily. The veggie tacos--two corn tortillas topped with rice, beans, cheese,…

Huge coffee selection!

by ReviewerD

I've been going to the Salt Lake Roasting Company for years. The coffee is outstanding, and if you want to take home a pound of something you've never tried before their selection is amazing. But be warned, the service is VERY slow and most of the staff is extremely impolite, some of them won't even make eye contact with you. It's unfortunate because if this place had better service it would be a real gem.

  • Pros: Great coffee and a relaxed atomosphere.
  • Cons: Awful service.

Rude to customers, bland taste

by slc86

I've been here about five times, and that's it. I've never been treated in a remotely friendly manner by any of the employees I've dealt with... they have all seemed to come across like they're better than you... they smirk at each other, roll their eyes, give me strange looks. I have friends that say they don't have complaints, but I'm not going here anymore. Coffee Break up the street is known to be more pretentious, but I don't find their employees to be quite this bad.

Sorry, Salt Lake roasting, I like the relative quietness of the place, but some of your employees are too rude for me.

  • Pros: relatively quiet compared to some other coffee shops
  • Cons: heavy smugness from employees

Great place for tea, too.

by Super Dave

A person used to could park on the street, right in front of the Roasting Company and cruise in to buy a cup or a pound. Now they could ride Trax.

The Roasting Company roasts their coffee beans to perfection - in house! The service is excellent. The choice of different coffees to purchase from all over the world makes drinking coffee at home an entirely different experience.

The owner, John, has the most impeccable manners and attention to service of any coffee shop I've ever been at to drink tea or coffee or chai, or even to have dinner.

  • Pros: Best coffee in town.
  • Cons: Uncomfortable chairs.
