Café on 1st

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 I'd definitely come back.

This little cafe isn't 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 can't go wrong!

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.

Bottom line: Great for studying (and curry). Coffee is good but not the best in town (it takes a lot to get to the top coffee level, for my taste), the staff is always friendly, helpful, and pleasant, the seating is sufficient... it stays quiet most of the time and so is good for getting work done - seems like that's what most people use it for. The surprise element here: curry dishes. The massaman curry here is very reasonably priced (currently under 7 dollars) and the best i've had in salt lake city. I've spent many hours a week for several months at this shop and I have no complaints yet!

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

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 wasn't too clean. The walls need a bleaching and scrubbing.

The coffee itself was amazing and I'd definitely go back for more if I'm in the area. Just avoid the bathroom.

Coffee shop crowds aren't usually my favorite, but cafe on 1st is far from the vibe of most coffee shops!

All the workers are friendly and nice, and their chai tea is the best around.

Variety of seats and generally not a problem finding one.

Bottom line, my favorite coffee shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to update my review. I had come here more than a few times before and today my mind was changed about this place. Maybe they needed more space but replacing the couches for more tables kind of took the cozy esa away and now it just looks crammed. The avocado toast that i would love was not the same. I was given like 2 slices of avocado essentially making it a créeme cheese sandwich with avocado flavor.

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

Walked in midday on Sunday with no line and ordered a latte. My espresso shot and was not dialed in and the milk was terribly burnt... I would not get anything here again but drip or iced coffee to be safe. I know i have had good drinks here before - dissapointing that it seems to be so hit or miss.
