Great place. All around just so welcoming. Got the bomb burrito and it was delicious, and twice the size I was expecting it to be. This is a sweet little shop in the avenues, and I sincerely hope they stick around forever. Bonus points for playing relaxing jazz music!

My top spot for Thai Teas and Thai coffeeThe bomb burritos not to be passed up on. I honestly cant get myself to try anything else cause they are so damn good.Great prices, fast service and veri cute!

This is literally my favorite spot for breakfast and drinks in Salt Lake. I go here often to spend my mornings relaxing. The BOMB BAGEL with hummus is so freaking good, I haven’t been able to eat anything else for breakfast. 12/10 would recommend this place. It’s a staple in the aves and a favorite part of the city for me. SUPPORT LOCAL

Chai is always great, dining area has reopened, and the staff is as friendly as ever. Gotta love Cafe on 1st. Could use more decorations inside the dine in area tho.

The Bomb Bagel is legitimately so bomb. Best bagel I’ve ever had!!

Great spot, great staff, decent prices. Spacious and open, great for studying or working, they had a lot more meal options than I thought. Would come here again.

The staff is so nice and they are quick. Always enjoy my drinks from here!

The man working there was very nice to me and made me a great coffee with almond milk. I think theyre great.

This place has the best breakfast and coffee. And everyone working there is so nice and humble. Love this place!

Delicious muffins and the coffee is good, too. Shady and plenty of parking. Go here often to sit and enjoy my morning.

The veggie sandwich is legit!! The espresso is super smooth.The owner is a really rad guy.

Turkey Bacon Ranch sandwich was excellent. Outside seating is nice.

Ive actually been here once before and its great, but the first time i went i had LITERALLY NO CLUE THAT TED BUNDY’S HOUSE IS LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET

Our new favorite brunch spot!!! The people here are lovely and the food is so fresh, amazing coffee too.

Place is ok. Decent enough and coffee is good. But really?! $5.99 for a slice of toast with avocado and cream cheese?!I thought it would at least be a toasted sandwich. But no, Just a slice. One slice.

Imagine the hippie scene of Haight Ashbury days in San Fran? This place captures that vibe. Its a neighborhood staple in Salt Lakes Avenues.While its not the architectural eye candy of many coffee houses, the coffee is good.Cafe on 1st doesnt roast thier own, yet offers a variety of coffee roasts & tea.

Came here two weeks ago and have been here 3 times since. Delightful people. Great service. And I have never tasted avocado toast so delicious.. the coffee is good too👍

Great little coffee shop with outside seating. I got the veggie sandwich and it was so good! Definitely recommend 👌🏼

EXCELLENT little Cafe. I had a blended mocha and it was heaven in a cup. This neighborhood cafe is cute, youre able to sit outside and social distance and its local. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A cute place that typically has plenty of seating available. Cafe on 1st has a wide variety of teas, lunches, and a few tasty vegetarian options too. Its not the coziest of coffee shops, but its a great spot for doing homework or catching up with a friend.

Best Bagel Sandwiches in SLC. Coffee is fantastic!!

Avacado toast is so good! such a great location too. me and my dog sat outside and it was just beautiful. love the vibes and the food and coffee was yummy yummy!!!

Incredible people own this safe space!

Great coffee wonderful staff.

This cafe charges over $10 for sandwiches that are very poorly made. My soup was watered down and my grilled cheese was toast with unmelted cheese thrown in the middle. Even the tables are dirty. Im pretty sad that I didnt go somewhere else for lunch.

Decent coffee and great burritos. Really cool place overall

Outdoor pickup was fast and easy, pretty standard coffee menu. I enjoyed my chai latte.

Great place to study, I wish they hadn’t painted the walls white though! Feels empty

This place is AWESOME!! Seriously I could spend all day here. First off let me just start off by saying they allow dogs INSIDE!! how amazing and awesome is that?!! It’s rare to find a place that is so welcoming and accepting of dogs. They even let smaller dogs on the couch! Their food is delicious and they have great coffee too. I love the chill laid back vibe and it’s always relaxing to come and hang out here, with my dog of course! :-) they have a little container of complementary doggy biscuits as well. I’ve been here twice and each time was highly enjoyable! Unfortunately I’m visiting from out of state but I come up to Utah somewhat often. This will always be a place to hit when I’m in Utah!!

So good! Loved this place.

Wasnt there for very long. Didnt even order anything. Seems ok though

Good breakfast burritos but I just got the worst latte Ive ever tasted. I had to toss it. Probably just a fluke though, Im rating this on my average experience.

Cute outdoor seating and nice atmosphere inside

Love this place. So cozy.

The interior is super cozy, and it’s a great place to study, but there aren’t free refills on their admittedly small coffees.Now I know that you’re probably thinking that this is a pretty petty complaint and I’m an intolerable person, but just stop and think: if you come to a cafe with the intention to study for a few hours, you’re bound to want more than 4oz of coffee, right?Otherwise this place is great, seems to attract a great crowd, and has an awesome patio.

Entered near ten, it was not crowded. It has a nice atmosphere.

Great service I stop there most mornings.

An Avenues gem. I’ve frequented this cafe for years now and although there’s been many changes, they have consistently provided good service and products. The Thai iced tea remains my favorite drink on the menu and the unpretentious environment keeps me coming back.

Somewhat pricey, but the atmosphere is great and worth checking out.They usually have live music from 10 AM to 11 AM on Sunday’s and a busier crowd.Recommend getting a breakfast croissant and adding sausage.The cake’s sold from the display could be less dry and more moist, but the flavors are good and I still recommend getting a piece if your considering it.Pastries are also dry, but some are worth a taste if you’re going to dip them in your coffee or drink.Highly recommend the Thai tea at this location.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Salt Lake. I moved to the east coast 5 years ago and every time i visit Salt Lake, I make sure to visit Cafe on 1st. Its so comfortable and cozy and I love that theyre open a little later. Their dirty chai tastes like comfort in a cup and i love their iced coffee with lavender.

Always friendly service and great drinks. One of the best mochas in SLC.

Im kind of kicking myself for taking so long to try this amazing place out! I cant comment on there coffee which is sad to say, although there coffee selection is amazing as well as their tea selection.There ice tea is great and the size of this place is awesome. Decent size and super chill environment to study or meet up with anyone. This place allows dogs because there was a man that had a tiny dog with him while working on his laptop and the dog was sitting in its bed next to him. It didnt make noise or disturb anyone so maybe that is one of the conditions.I ordered the yellow curry with tofu and it was delicious. They ask you if you want mild, medium, or hot for the spicing. I am not used to being asked that about curry so I said Medium because curry can normally rest on the mild ratio already.This was SPICY! There was hot flakes on the top I could have picked off or asked for the hot on the side. Id recommend you do that instead of just thinking itll be no biggie and mixing it all in. Otherwise you will ensue with the burning tongue!

Still only open for walk up window service.

Great coffee! Great food! Friendly staff!

Liked it in the past, staff came late this day, still wasnt open at 815, so I left with no coffee

Love their flavoring options menu!

I love this place. The coffee and Expresso drinks are really good. The food is yummy and everything is a reasonable place. Their staff is friendly and really helpful. I really love the couches and casual atmosphere. Come here a do homework and relax

Got there near seven, it wasnt very crowded.

The most amazing coffee house Ive had the pleasure of visiting. Very inviting, home-like, environment and the staff is super friendly! Superb service and exceptional care! Its definitely worth the 10+ miles I drive each time to enjoy their warm hospitality!

I study here all the time. Chill place with good food options (vegan and gluten free available too, and super yummy) and awesome coffee/tea. Ive tried most things and its always good. Plus they have rotating art exhibits from local artists so its always fun to see whats new. Really cozy, chill vibe and they dont seem to mind if you camp out to study

Great hidden gem! Every food and drink that I have tried here has been fantastic, they are always friendly, quick, and happy to reccomend new things to try. The environment is chill and relaxing with beautiful art. Love that they have outdoor seating, advertise for local bands/groups/events etc. And also that theyre sticker vending machine is local artwork!

First place I ever felt home in Salt Lake. Wonderful and bubbly people making delicious coffees, teas, etc. Ive never had a bad cup of coffee here. Very good prices too!

Ah, Café on First, I didnt care much for you a year ago, but now? I came back to give you a second chance and I am so very impressed with the friendly staff and delicious food. I love the vibe and the local art on the walls. Im so glad I tried you again!!Street parking only. The lot is for the apartment tenants.

I always have a lovely experience whenever I go into Cafe on 1st. The people are lovely, the coffee is some of the best that Ive had in the city and the atmosphere speaks of comfort in all things. The decor is a mix mash of styles that speaks to the eclectic neighborhood that is the Avenues. Local artists decorate the walls with their pieces and light background music keeps the place feeling alive. I take all my friends here because it really is just that spectacular.

Great place to eat with the family. The food was delicious and they let us bring our dog inside to eat with us!

I really like this place. I do wish they had a better seating arrangement though. When it is busy the amount of chairs and tables make it a little difficult to navigate the space. Otherwise the coffee is good. Try the ginger late, it is delicious!

This is my favorite place to eat when I attend workshops at Avenues Yoga. The curry selections are delicious and I find myself craving their special salad dressing. Its a relaxed, comfortable environment for all ages, even senior citizens like me. In good weather, the eating area outside feels fresh.

I love this coffee shop so much! They have amazing baristas, amaaazing food (sandwiches, breakfast items, curry, and more! - and it’s all made in house!) the owners are amazing too, and the art on the walls is always changing, which I love. Shouts out to cafe on 1st!

The staff here was incredibly welcoming and receptive to the fact that I was working up the street. They let me use the bathroom (most places demand you buy something, even if you are working in the area). I actually dont live too far and I plan on visiting when I dont look like a crazy dirty mess from cutting trees haha I love the layout and the smell was so warm and inviting. People were either lost in their own electronic worlds or openly conversing.. kind of felt like a place to can call a second home and not feel guilty about it. Great location with an easily accessed parking lot.

Cozy and quiet locally-run coffee shop with a great selection of tasty drinks, coffees, and pastries. There is often a small group of people at the tables working away. A great shop for a coffee break or to get some work done.

All your loyal customers miss you and your staff. Hope everyone is well

This didnt happen to me, but to a friend of mine who I suggested come to this coffee shop while I was there. The barista dropped a cup on the floor, then proceeded to set it back on the counter as if she was going to use it. My friend said didnt you just drop that on the floor? To which she replied yes but now Im not sure which one it is. And he said well can I please get a clean cup? And instead of Simply getting him a new clean cup, she argued with him, about how it was wasteful of plastic and how the door and the toilet are both dirtier than that cup. It was extremely rude and unprofessional. And I was embarrassed that I had suggested this place for us to get coffee. I Wont Go Back Again.

Great little coffee shop in the neighborhood. They serve tasty food and good drinks. Prices are decent. Lots of college kids studying.

I love this place. Great place to hang out or to get some work done. Their fresh roasted coffee is my favorite. I love the dark roast and the bomb burrito is accurately named. This is one of my favorite places in salt lake.

Great location nestled up in the Avenues . The Thai chi was great. I mostly liked the relaxed atmosphere and tons of outside tables spaced far enough apart so its perfect for private converating.

Best coffee ever! Amazingly great, quick, on point and the atmosphere is righteous man. Try a chi tea, then you will know the meaning of shut the front door.

Rotating local art, comfy study or chat spots, awesome outdoor seating. Plus delicious coffee, smoothies, and food. What else do you want?

As a coffee lover, I like trying new places. This location offers s great product, but I felt it was slightly overpriced for what I ordered...$6 for a 24 oz drink. I guess thats standard. Overall, though, I had a great experience.

This coffee shop isn’t for me. Apparently, they change their coffee brands and types often. They also mix them. That day they had a very bitter tasting coffee mixture. I prefer consistency.

I really love this little coffee shop. It has a fun vibe, lots of interesting art on the walls, lots of seating, and great WiFi. The coffee and food has always been great as well!

Average. Furniture kind of run down and not as clean as I’d like. Don’t know about the coffee but the hit chocolate tastes like it’s just made from Hershey syrup which is a waste of a cafe visit.Staff seems friendly though and they have water cups at the front so that’s nice!

This is a great little local coffee shop, theyre always quick, so I can stop by on my way somewhere, or hang out for a couple hours and get some work done. Great prices, great coffee, great atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

Quaint little coffee shop with decent drink selection including Italian sodas and smoothies.

Great drinks. Awesome food. Im taking away a star because the tables and chairs are a bit cramped. It gives the cafe a unique atmosphere, though its not the most comfortable place to sit.

This little cafe isnt the best decorated or most spacious, but it makes up for what it lacks in ambience with some great food and awesome drinks. My favorite is a Soy Red-Tea (Rooibos) Latte with their honey-ginger concoction as a sweetener. Paired with a bomb burrito or their amazing curry and you cant go wrong!

Great place to hang out, grab a cup of coffee and get some work done.

Cool spot, local college style coffee shop with with bagels and sandwiches. Outdoor seating.

Such a laid back environment. Their Thai coffee is really good, the people there was really nice and patient as it was my first time there. The overall vibe of the place was quite enjoyable and Id definitely come back.

Always a pleasure going yo this local coffee shop. You can take a seat and work for a few hours, or grab a coffee to go. Their menu is extensive and even includes some delicious curry dishes.

Ive traveled extensively and this has to be the best, coolest coffee shop Ive been to. It has a great customer service, reasonable prices, warm appeal and the clientele diversity is second to none! Love it...

It was great. Slow brewed tea and outdoor seating. Shout out to my friend Derrick, who told me about a few years ago. It was his favorite.

Great neighborhood coffee house with a cozy decor and great eco friendly options. The inside is full of lounge chairs and couches that give the place a very home like feel and the service is always fast and spot on. Great vegan and gluten free options for snaking and the coffee is a local roast and is usually pretty great. Vast loose tea selection as well. Check them out

Good coffee, very friendly staff and a wonderful place to hang out, with or without company.

Super hipster place. Friendly staff and reasonable price. Good vibes

Would have gladly given a 5th star, but when I went to use the bathroom I was greeted with dirty walls and a floor that wasnt too clean. The walls need a bleaching and scrubbing.The coffee itself was amazing and Id definitely go back for more if Im in the area. Just avoid the bathroom.

What a cool place. Ive been a handful of times over the last year but recently moved a short bike rides distance from this place and I plan on becoming a regular. The staff is friendly and I cant wait to get to know them. I havent tried a lot off their menu. I normally just bike up, order a small coffee, grab a cup of water and sit outside watching the same people travel up and down 1st and I street on their daily commutes as I read, or try to. Its very relaxing. Hope to see you up there.

Weve known Tong for years. Back before he started his own place and was working at Thai orchid. He is a wonderful person and his restaurant reflects that

Love the place and atmosphere. Nice food options. The chocolate in drinks could be a bit better though.

Was staying right around the corner and is the only place open before 8 on sunday.. good thing.. beak fast burito (bomb actually) was delicious... good price too.. and was a perfect morning to enjoy the shaded outdoor seating... the girl working also found my wallet.. would have been 300 miles away before realizing that...

I ordered their “Bomb Burrito”, which apparently is an upgrade of their “signature” breakfast burrito. Apparently the kitchen staff/management would consider the crayon scribblings from a toddler riding a bucking mule to be an acceptable signature, because this burrito was worse than pathetic, especially given the ~$11 price.This burrito was roughly the length of a dollar bill and wrapped in a soggy tortilla with bland ingredients disproportionately incorporated throughout. If you want meat in your burrito, it costs extra.I will never be returning and will steer anyone away from wasting their money at a place that can mess up such a simple and timeless meal such as a burrito.

My wife and I come here to hang out and do work. Its a great place to get a drink, which are great, and relax. The WiFi is good and the service has been really friendly and courteous... Definitely one of my favorite coffee shops in Salt Lake.

This place is amazing!! The owners know the frequent flyers by names and make a newbie feel welcomed!! Perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat and coffee

Not as good as the average review here. They took forever to get our order - we asked for it twice and one worker glared at us after we asked the second time. Sorry - but it wasn’t our fault the food had taken 25 minutes! Not impressed. Vibe was decent but the place is a little run down.

Great food & coffee & service. Nice area to hang

Their Turkey Dynamo sandwich is to die for, a half is enough to fill me up! Their strawberry smoothies and peppermint hot chocolate are amazing! its a super cozy atmosphere and I wish I never had to leave!

Neat little coffee shop in the Aves. Great selection on drinks and food as well.

Great environment and a nice quiet place to chill and study.

So delicious! Expect some of the best coffee in UT. The wifi works fine. I keep coming back for the amazing cappuccino and friendly service.

I go here often. Maybe too often. I feel right at home. I just wish they got better chairs...Update: THEY GOT BETTER CHAIRS!

Great coffe and fresh croisant. Also ordered a delicious breakfast sandwich. Excellent service!
