Bjorn's Brew

Crema's Take

This beloved Salt Lake City institution has been earning fierce loyalty since 2014 with their exceptional espresso drinks—their dirty chai is legendary—complemented by killer pastries and creative specialty beverages like their peanut butter MVP shake. Beyond the exceptional coffee, what really sets them apart is their genuine mission to give back to animal shelters, making your visit feel like it counts for something, plus they're dog-friendly so your pup can come along for the experience. Fair warning: the quality draws crowds and waits can get long, but regulars agree it's absolutely worth it.

Super delicious coffee and the cookie treats are amazing! I love that they also give back to animal shelters it’s such a nice touch. The wait can be long but it’s worth the wait!

I have been a loyal customer of Bjorn’s Brew since moving to Utah in 2014. I lived next door at Foothill Place Apartments near Bjorn’s original location, and even after moving farther north, I’ve continued to make the effort to come back—often planning hikes in Millcreek so my dogs and I can stop at Bjorn’s Brew. My dogs get so excited they literally hang out the car window because they know they’re getting a treat. Unfortunately, the customer experience at the State Street location has been a consistent letdown and does not reflect what Bjorn’s Brew claims to stand for. We’ve encountered the same guy working the drive-through window several times, and every single interaction has been unpleasant. At first, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed a bad day—but after multiple visits, it’s clearly a pattern. He was working the window on Saturday, December 21st, and I regret not catching his name. He has a bad attitude, and it comes across as though dogs are an annoyance to him rather than the very reason many customers choose Bjorn’s Brew. For a business built around being dog-friendly and supporting local pet charities, that disconnect is hard to ignore. I can get coffee anywhere—people come to Bjorn’s Brew because it’s dog-friendly. To make matters worse, I ordered my usual drink along with two peanut butter power balls, and what I was served was unacceptable. These power balls were clearly old—at least a week. I’ve accidentally left Bjorn’s power balls in my car before and know exactly what they look and taste like when they’ve sat too long: darker caramel color, softened oats, a slightly sour smell, and a grainy texture. That is exactly what I was served. These are perishable items, which is why they’re typically refrigerated or frozen, and I’m honestly shocked they were served at all. This is not what they look like when they’re even 2–3 days old. If you’re looking for the warm, dog-friendly customer experience Bjorn’s Brew is known for, the Foothill location delivers. The State Street location is the polar opposite and was extremely disappointing—we will not be going back.

B’Jorns Coffee Shop in South Salt Lake is truly one of my favorite places to visit. Not only does this shop have a beautiful and meaningful purpose behind it, but they also serve some of the best coffee in all of Utah. Every drink is crafted with care, and you can genuinely taste the quality. I live about 45 minutes away, and it’s worth the drive every single time. The atmosphere is warm, the people are kind, and the heart behind this place makes it even more special. If you’re looking for incredible coffee with a meaningful mission, B’Jorns is a must ❤️

Bjorns has always been one of my favorite coffee shops. It used to be a regular stop for me, so it felt so good to be back, and their dirty chai is still to die for. Truly the best in town. I was a little bummed that we didnt get the free biscuit cookie with our drinks, but we did try some savory pastries. I went for the gluten free option (wouldnt get that one again), but the turkey croissant was a hit. My friend loved it so much she wanted to grab extras to take home. I have always loved the atmosphere here, but this time the metal music was a bit much. I can appreciate good metal, just not in a coffee shop that doesnt really match that darker vibe. It felt out of place. Overall, Bjorns is still one of my top spots and hands down the best place in town for a dirty chai.

I’ve only had the MVP protein shake, but it was insanely good! If you’re a fan of peanut butter, you’ve got to try it. I’ll definitely come back and try some of their coffee - fun place wjth a cool mission and purpose.
