Alpha Coffee Cafe - Salt Lake City
111 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT
Crema's Take
“This independent Salt Lake City gem instantly captivates with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and an atmosphere that feels genuinely special, making it the kind of place people return to again and again. Their espresso-focused menu shines with both classic drinks and inventive signatures—like an iced latte that's earned serious praise—while the owner's commitment to treating employees well (health care, 401k) adds real heart to the experience. Whether you're stopping by before shopping, settling in for a work session, or meeting friends, Alpha Coffee delivers that rare combination of exceptional coffee and a welcoming vibe that beats the chains down the street.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
