A New Brew
Since April and through the summer and fall, the Little America Coffee Shop (500 S. Main, 801-596-5708) has been undergoing a complete redesign and renovation, including the restaurant, lobby lounge and retail shop. Well, the new space is now finished, and combines the best of Little America’s tradition and history with modern amenities, lighting, décor and furniture. The coffee counter is still intact, but has been attractively updated, and menu items—including comfort foods like the classic hot roasted turkey sandwich, Alaskan halibut and Prime rib—are still made each day from scratch.
