Picnic Cafe
1329 S 500 E, Millcreek, UT
Crema's Take
“Picnic Cafe has cultivated something rare: a genuinely communal neighborhood gathering spot that takes both coffee and creativity seriously, whether you're ordering a banana cream pie matcha or settling in for one of their Wednesday-Friday popup dinners hosted by local small business chefs. The seasonal and signature drinks like their beloved Lychee Rose Matcha Latte showcase a playful sophistication that goes beyond standard cafe fare, while the welcoming, unhurried atmosphere and excellent pastries make it equally perfect for a solo work session or meeting friends. This is the kind of place where regulars keep returning because it feels less like a transaction and more like coming home.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Went here for the Xilonen pop up dinners they serve wed-fri and it was amazing. We ordered both vegan dinner entrees and a roasted veggies and mole appetizer. The chef brought out 2 sipping cups of his amazing local pumpkin soup and chatted with us about it. He grows his own…
I recently discovered Picnic Cafe and have visited 3 times since discovery. They may not be known for their everything bagels but they are very good for SLC. Each time, I have ordered an iced strawberry matcha and my partner usually drinks an iced latte. The iced latte's are…
