Kahve Coffee Opens
After a solid run hosting pop-ups and takeout orders, Kahve Coffee (57 S. 600 East, 801-674-7047, kahvecafeslc.com) has finally opened its downtown storefront. Though Kahve Coffee is by definition a coffee shop, visitors should expect a slightly different experience compared to the local Starbucks. Kahve Coffee brews traditional Turkish coffee and tea, which are meant to be enjoyed slowly so the recipient can fully embrace the bouquet of heady flavors. In addition to Kahve's strong Turkish brews, visitors can expect regional pastries like baklava, borek, kunefe and Turkish fig cakes. Local coffee-shop fans will want to check Kahve Coffee out for a unique coffee shop experience filled with strong brews and tasty treats.
