Crema's Take
“This converted 100+ year-old church serves some of Salt Lake City's most accomplished espresso alongside an entirely gluten-free pastry menu, making it equally appealing whether you're after a serious coffee conversation or a relaxed hangout. The baristas here are genuinely invested in dialing in drinks to your preferences—multiple reviews mention being surprised by how much they elevated what could've been a routine order. The soaring original architecture and thoughtfully eclectic decor create one of the city's most distinctive third-place vibes, and it shows in the crowd's willingness to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →My favorite thing is their avocado toast, but I've liked everything there. Love that it's all gluten free! And of course the building is beautiful and makes for a great space to hang out/relax while you eat and work.
This is the most delightful spot built in a church with the decor being so counter-church was perfect! The people were warm and helpful, and catered the drink to my liking perfectly. I highly recommend the avocado toast, and the Cinnamon Latte!
Huge shout out to Sam! She makes the best coffee, hands down. I normally drink a simple black coffee, but she’s opened my eyes to a world of new possibilities. I asked her to make me a coffee that tasted like fall in a cup and she delivered. If all the baristas are half as good…
Honestly one of my most favorite spots I've tried in SLC! The service was probably the most outstanding part, the barista was incredibly friendly, and we had a quick but real conversation while she was making our order. The space is compiled of other local businesses, so you…
Hallowed Grounds is hands-down my favorite coffee shop in the city! They serve amazing espresso, delicious teas, and tasty gluten-free treats—all inside a beautiful church that's over 100 years old. The atmosphere is so unique and full of character. I love the sense of community…
