Cupla Coffee

Lovely coffee shop in downtown SLC. Good variety of pastries and breakfast foods. Excellent coffee and a nice quiet atmosphere. Love stopping here while visiting and taking it easy.

Culpa is a top-notch coffee shop in Salt Lake. It balances feeling polished and modern without the over the top pretentious vibe you sometimes get at trendier spots. It’s welcoming, laid-back, and just a solid place to grab coffee. The menu is impressive, with lots of specials and some fun, unexpected options, I liked the Ube White Latte. They’ve also got great classic drinks, good cold brew (w/ optimal cold foam), and a lot of seasonal stuff that keeps it interesting. The staff is friendly and easygoing,

I needed a coffee shop to work out of while I waited for my red eye and used to live in Salt Lake when Cupla was in a basement! Loved seeing how they’ve expanded. Very clean, amazing playlist, friendly staff (who was on top of cleaning). Lots of other people working from their laptops which I love being around. I love local shops and highly recommend their London Fog and macaroons! Totally worth stopping by.

This was my first time visiting Cupla Coffee last Saturday night, and I was surprised by how spacious it feels for a café right in the middle of downtown. There are plenty of seats, though most of the tables are fairly close together, so it can feel a little exposed and cramped depending on where you sit. Personally I am not a fan of the interconnected long walled booth-seating. I got lucky and found a cozy separated corner with my back against the wall, right by their high bookshelves - easily the prettiest spot in the café. Christmas decor is up now, as expected. The atmosphere leans industrial: black exposed ceilings, gray-toned walls, and warm lighting. They attract a mix of people: downtown workers, hotel guests from the Hyatt, and casual passersby, so the flow is constant. I like that they are not blasting music, just enough for a good vibe. One thing to note: there aren’t many outlets. I only noticed one in another corner, so it’s not the best place for long work sessions if you need to plug in. I got a strawberry lemonade and a donut, which was good. The other reviews mention they have good coffee but I have not tried. Overall, a nice spot to relax for a bit, enjoy a drink, and watch the city move. I might return, if I can grab that same corner seat again and figure out a better parking option.

Excellent coffee, apparently roasted onsite and it shows as the Cortado I had this morning was well balanced with an earthy smooth flavor with a hint of fruit, but not an overbearing tang like some acidic coffee beans produce. This place is a winner for straight coffee and Americanos as well, coffee is smooth and freshly roast3d and ground. Vanilla Latte was sweet, so most coffee lovers that frequent corporate coffee will enjoy this hometown SLC option as well. Lots of table space, we'll decorated with plenty of books to borrow during your visit, not too loud so this is a great place to meet up with friends, talk business, or just relax and enjoy excellent coffee. Recommended.
