The Rose Establishment
Visiting The Rose Establishment will be your favorite part of the day. Without Wi-Fi, guests are encouraged to luxuriate over fine coffee and delicious fare—a refreshing option these days. There is no coffee on tap, so instead opt for French-pressed coffee or even a bubbly nitrogen infused cold brew. The Rose Establishment offers food menus that rival your favorite spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch made with local and seasonal ingredients. Its in-house bakery is also top-notch, with unique and scrumptious treats. 235 S. 400 West, Salt Lake City, 801-990-6270, TheRoseEstb.com
Salt Lake Roasting Co.
One of the city's original coffee houses, Salt Lake Roasting Co. has been serving coffee for about 30 years. Roasting its own coffee with a mind-boggling selection of beans encourages customers to learn about coffees of the world. It also has a fine selection of loose-leaf tea and an affordable, tasty lunch menu. In 2016, the Roasting Co. is slated to move out of its time-honored location to new digs up the street, while its satellite location in the Salt Lake City Main Library continues to bring the familiar coffee shop vibe to grateful library patrons. 320 E. 400 South, Salt Lake City, 801-363-7572; 210 E. 400 South; Roasting.com

Beans & Brews is the only coffee shop that can stand up to the corporate siren with more than 20 locations, most offering a speedy drive-thru. This local chain turned franchise has been caffeinating Salt Lakers since 1993. Being a regular pays off with a House Rewards program, which can earn you points toward free drinks with each purchase.
