Crema's Take
“This is actually a stunning 1909 Roman Catholic cathedral, not primarily a coffee shop—the "coffee grotto" is a small café operated within the gift shop downstairs, so visit here if you want excellent architecture and a contemplative space first, with coffee as a pleasant secondary experience. The 4.8-star rating reflects people's genuine awe at the cathedral itself: the stained glass, the historically accurate religious artwork, and the peaceful atmosphere make it genuinely worth the trip if you're into sacred architecture or looking for a quiet place to sit. If you're purely after specialty coffee, there are better options in Salt Lake City, but if you want coffee in one of the most beautiful buildings in Utah, this is it.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

See all on Google →Beautiful Church 😍❤️ came for Mass and it was so lovely! There's a little gift shop downstairs and the woman running it was so nice.
Beautiful cathedral! I didn't even know Salt Lake has this, but it is a historic building from 1900. It was open on a Friday when I went and it had no charge. It was not crowded at all!
Gorgeous church. It is good that Jesus is portrayed more like he probably actually looked rather than the usual rockstar version. I thought Mary with her hands-raised seemed to say "whatever," or ""heck if I know what's going on," but I suppose this is a praise pose.
Salt Lake City, Utah USA The Cathedral of the Madeleine is a Roman Catholic church in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. It was completed in 1909 and is the cathedral, or mother church, of the Diocese of Salt Lake City. It is the only cathedral in the U.S. under the patronage…
A beautiful cathedral with a amazingly beautiful altar. The stained glass is awesome. I'd love to hear the pipe organ but I'm only in Salt Lake City for two days.
