The Rose Establishment
235 S 400th W, Salt Lake City, UT
Crema's Take
“The Rose Establishment has cultivated a devoted following as a full-fledged breakfast and brunch destination where the espresso-forward coffee program meets genuinely excellent pastries and savory food—their sourdough appears to be a standout. The vibe leans into a slower, more leisurely sit-down experience that regulars return to again and again, though it's worth arriving early or being patient with the counter-order format since crowds and parking around this Salt Lake City gem can be tight.”

I love it! Short drop-by in Salt Lake City, so happy that I made good decisions for the only brunch here. Good coffee, and both dishes were awesome. The sourdough is made perfectly, chili sauce works great with Greek yoghurt. And the side salad that came along with the breakfast sandwich was interesting, the dressing sauce was light but flavourful!
I got a oat milk cappuccino & sourdough with jam, my friend got a latte & a breakfast sandwich. She loved her sandwich- said it was amazing. However both of us thought the espresso was burnt. She didn’t even finish her latte. The toast & jam were nice, I could tell the jam was homemade. Also there’s no WiFi which is frustrating. I like the vibe, the cups, the music, the seating, the bathroom. I’d come back to try the vegan food options, but I wouldn’t come back for coffee. Maybe I’ll try the tea next time.
Honestly, it's a little crazy that I haven't reviewed this place until now because this restaurant has been my favorite breakfast/brunch place for the past two years now. The atmosphere is great, the staff are fast and friendly, and they have one of my favorite meals to get when I go out (the brunch bowl with potatoes, eggs, lettuce, vinegrette, feta, and fresh bacon). My go to drink is a latte with honey and maple but all of the seasonal specials I've gotten (like a baklava latte and a hibiscus rooibos tea with mango lemonade) have been amazing. The biscuit with fresh jam is also way better than it has any right to be and the scones I've tried (pear cinnamon and cranberry rosemary) were stellar. All in all, I make sure to stop by this place every time I go to the farmer's market or am otherwise in the area and it's where I take people who are visiting from out of town: it ALWAYS impresses them, and it's not anymore expensive than going to a Starbucks. I love that the tip is preincluded so it's easy and fair for the staff.
Great little spot, and worth knowing that there’s basically no parking, so we parked at Liberty Park and walked over. You order and pay at the counter, then sit down. We were told there was a 30 minute wait for food right as we were about to pay, which would’ve been nice to know earlier. Food was good overall. The shakshouka and sourdough dish was the highlight. The gluten free breakfast sandwich had an up charge but the size of the bread felt pretty ungenerous, more like a half sandwich, and they were out of the sweet heat bacon which was a shame. Pretty noisy inside, but I’d come back to try other menu items.
Came here first thing in the morning before our flight and was impressed. The baristas are super friendly and helpful, pick any drink and you can’t go wrong, and the food is filling without being heavy. Love the atmosphere and how welcoming it is. Wasn’t too busy first thing in the morning on a random Thursday, everything came out fairly quick. If you care about workers rights, they add an 18% gratuity to each order. The prices are very reasonable and I like knowing that the people making my food and serving it are being paid a living wage. Big bonus points. Will happily be back the next time I’m in town. I got the brunch bowl, chai and the rose fog. If you like your chai spicy, this one is the ticket. The rose fog was amazing and creamy! Thanks for the great experience on our way out of town!
