Wanyen Cafe
378 W Broadway, Salt Lake City, UT
Crema's Take
“Tucked into downtown Salt Lake City, Wanyen Cafe is a charming Thai-owned spot with whimsical yellow wavy walls and a genuinely welcoming vibe that invites you to linger. Their real specialty lies in bold, unapologetic Asian-inspired ice cream flavors—think durian, mango sticky rice, and coconut pudding—where the best versions deliver authentic richness that doesn't hold back. It's the kind of place where friendly staff and a cute, Instagram-worthy interior pair perfectly with creative frozen treats that taste like they actually traveled from Southeast Asia.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
