Mecca Cafe
650 S 500 W, Salt Lake City, UT
Crema's Take
“The espresso here is genuinely excellent—crisp and balanced—which the baristas showcase with beautiful latte art, but what really sets Mecca apart is their obsessive approach to quality ingredients, from house-made syrups to impeccably sourced matcha that tastes nothing like the typical café version. It's the kind of place that draws people in for a single coffee and keeps them for hours, whether you're working on your laptop, meeting a friend, or just soaking in the warm, genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The rotating menu means there's always something new to discover, and the staff's visible care for their craft makes every visit feel personal.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Really lovely experience here! The baristas are kind and friendly, and the latte was outstanding (the espresso was solid, and just look at that latte art as well!). Beautiful open space in which to work with lots of windows. Will definitely be returning!
