Crema's Take
“Salt and Light Coffee Lounge feels like the heart of Eagle with a warmth that goes beyond the excellent coffee—reviewers consistently praise the genuine hospitality and community-focused atmosphere, complete with twinkling string lights and both cozy indoor and inviting outdoor spaces perfect for lingering. Beyond traditional espresso drinks, they've built a loyal following for their specialty coffee program paired with housemade breakfast burritos and pastries, making it the kind of neighborhood spot where families bike over for lemonade and locals return again and again for the sense of belonging.”

I absolutely love this place! It was just what we needed in our cute little town and the attention detail is awesome! With Faith as the backbone of this business it feels so good to walk in and see bible studies, people connecting face to face and genuinely having a great time! Of course, the coffee and food are delish! 🤩 If you haven’t tried the Aerocino…highly recommend! 😋
Having Salt & Light move into the neighborhood has been the best upgrade. We go for the yummy coffee and stay for the cozy vibes. Even my kids love biking there for lemonade and baked treats. The fact that I am supporting a small business that’s family/Christian owned is just the cherry on top…or better yet, the sweet cold foam on top! :P
I have been wanting to check this coffee joint out since it has opened. But I never make my way into this direction but today I decided that I wanted a coffee from this shop. I read online that their banana bread lattes are the business so that was enough to push me to the other end of State St. I remember when this location was a soda joint. They have remodeled it into quite a stunning venue. The plush green velvet seating is very luxurious. The color of the seating is so pretty, rich emerald green! I have always enjoyed the big windows that wrap around a majority of the venue giving it so much natural lighting. I adore the fireplace in the middle of the floor creating some division between the seating and the register. And you can never go wrong with a fireplace for that added coziness to your shop. I walked up to order and the gal working behind the counter was great. I asked her about the banana bread latte and was told it wasn't available. Bummer since I was looking forward to it. But she suggested the fig or figgy vanilla pudding latte. Reading the description of it, it sounded lovely so I went for it. I grabbed a 16oz iced breve of this special and I was looking forward to my drink! I checked out the pretty decor on the fireplace while they were working on my drink. It was nice to see people out this late in the afternoon enjoying their company and drinks. My name was called and made my way up to grab it. I noticed that the lids were in a communal basket. I was planning to ask the gentleman working the espresso machine if I could possibly get one that hasn't been exposed to everyone. With my new kidney, I just have to be extra careful with communal things like lids, straws and silverware that have been exposed to multiple people. Honestly, he seemed bothered when I simply starting talking to him. It discouraged me from asking so I grabbed a lid from the secondary stack towards the bottom. He stared at me like I was strange but if he was kind, I wouldn't have had to dig for a lid. He would have known why I needed a different lid for my drink. I sat by the fireplace for a bit to enjoy the vibe and coffee. After my first sip, I was really hoping that the fig or vanilla bean would be present in my breve. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I did take a couple more drinks and mixed it up a bit to see if the flavoring would be more noticeable. Sadly, my drink tasted like a normal breve. It was creamy and the espresso was noticeable but was about it. For almost 9 dollars for this drink, it was a big let down. In a normal situation I would have paid for more flavoring but the interaction with the gentleman made me just want to settle with what I got. Nothing worse than being stuck with something that you're unhappy with. I was really hoping for a great experience along with a great drink. My experience was partially there. My interaction with the gal who took my order and the beauty of the venue was fantastic. But my drink and the other barista working was very disappointing. I had such high expectations of this place. I have been to quite a few coffee shops in the valley and I'm usually never disappointed with them. I just want a good drink, nice vibe and great customer service. Pretty basic expectations of any business really. I'm happy I got to finally check out Salt and Light but I'll just stick to my coffee shops on the other end of State St.
The atmosphere here is very nice and relaxing. The lighting and decor is pretty! They have indoor and outdoor seating with string lights. The coffee is good as well as the breakfast burritos. I like the CCM music played as well. It was starting to get busy on a Saturday morning and is popular! The bathroom is clean and well decorated - 2 individual bathrooms.
Salt & Light is so much more than a coffee shop — it’s a place where community, warmth, and great coffee come together in the best way. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly smiles and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The coffee here is consistently delicious and thoughtfully made with high-quality, organic beans, and their seasonal drink options are always a treat.  What really sets this place apart is the intentional space they’ve created for connection. Whether you’re meeting a friend, catching up on work, or taking a quiet moment for yourself, Salt & Light feels welcoming and comforting. I’ve also loved discovering their house-made syrups and fresh pastries — it’s clear they care about quality and community in everything they serve.  This has quickly become one of my favorite local spots in Eagle, and I always leave feeling refreshed and uplifted. Highly recommend stopping by for your next coffee date or peaceful morning brew! ☕❤️
