Crema's Take

Nestled beside Liberty Park, this beloved neighborhood spot serves up generously portioned American breakfast classics like golden French toast and buttermilk pancakes that keep locals and visitors coming back despite the wait. The genuine warmth of the staff and the inviting, family-friendly atmosphere make it feel less like a café and more like a gathering place where you're treated like family over fresh, flavorful food.

Absolutely delicious! Every bite was worth it. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you’re craving a great breakfast or brunch The wait can be long but, it is 100% worth it. The staff were amazing, very friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. There’s not enough parking space I front of the restaurant.

Hidden gem in Salt Lake City! The Park Café serves epic American breakfast next to Liberty Park. Golden French toast dusted with powdered sugar, giant buttermilk pancakes, crispy bacon, perfectly scrambled eggs, and crispy hashbrowns, portions are HUGE and delicious. Outdoor wooden tables under the sun, super chill park vibes perfect for weekend mornings. Gluten-free & veggie options available, friendly service, wallet-friendly prices. Whether you crave sweet or savory, this spot never disappoints. Must-visit breakfast in SLC!

My husband and I came to the Park Café for brunch on a Saturday morning while in Salt Lake City visiting. We got there relatively early for brunch standards, in my opinion, but there was still a significant wait for a table so after putting down our name, we went across the street and walked around the park for a bit. When our table was ready, we were seated inside, and the service was extremely fast and attentive. I decided to order the Michigan hash while my husband ordered the Chilaquiles. We also shared a single side order of French toast. The Michigan hash was decent, and quite filling. Nothing spectacular but solid comfort food. My husband enjoyed that Chilaquiles, for Utah standards, and I tasted it and thought it was decent as well. The French toast was probably my favorite part of the meal so I kind of regret not making that my whole meal. All in all, a decent place to grab breakfast, but I don’t know if it is worth the wait or the hype.

The Park Café in Salt Lake City is one of those spots that clearly draws a crowd—you can tell by the fact that we waited about 45 minutes to get a table. To be fair, the service once we were seated was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome. Everyone in our group seemed to love their food, which says a lot considering how different our orders were. I went with the Chilaquiles, one of my go-to breakfast favorites. They were… okay. Not bad by any means, but I’ve definitely had better. The red sauce just didn’t have much flavor, which was disappointing. The green sauce was better—it had a little more spice and a bit more depth—but still not quite the standout I was hoping for. Portion size was good, and the presentation was nice, but flavor-wise, it fell a little short for me. The atmosphere is energetic—almost too energetic. The noise level was so high that it was nearly impossible to have a conversation with the group without raising our voices. If you’re coming for a lively vibe and great service, you’ll be happy here. If you want a relaxed, quiet breakfast, this probably isn’t the place. Overall, good food, excellent service, but be prepared for a wait and a lot of noise.
