My wife is writing an article about places in Utah to get great coffee. She has plenty of places in Salt Lake County and Utah County and could use suggestions for other places around the state. Do you have any ideas?

I haven't heard of any of those. Thanks!
I lived in cedar and never went there. Guess I missed out.

Ibis is a cool spot. Local music, local art for sale, fair trade coffee. A bit of a hippy vibe, but I like it there. One of the owners was killed by a drunk driver a couple years ago:

A bit off topic, but across the street is a sandwich shop called the Italian Place. The owner (is now retired) was kind of like the soup nazi in Seinfeld. Saw him kick people out he didn't like for whatever reason. Amazing sandwiches.
Really liked the taste of the Moab shop. Maybe it was just the cool desert air in the early morning, but man, I remember how good it was every morning on my mountain biking adventures.

You're asking her to write about places she's never been? Seems disingenuous.
Also has the best Chai Latte I've ever had.

your wife should pretend she's totally in-the-know and recommend this awesome little coffee cart in Baker, NV (just over the border). Right by Great Basin National Park. Best coffee anywhere south of Salt Lake and north of Vegas.

That is what reporters do. I'm also not asking her to do anything. Just figured you all would have some good insight on places she could research. Just helping her out.
I drive through baker sometimes, I definitely will hit that place up. Looks awesome.

They all do this?
Reporters use sources and informants, right? Why not for coffee?

what takes you through there?
Nothing particular. I have driven through going to Vegas and wanting to make some rural stops. I car pooled to burning man last year with someone in central Utah and we drove through and pit stopped to gamble. I used to love to go to Caliente, NV for some pool tournaments and see some wild horses, also took me through there.
Depends on the article and what it's for. But yes generally a reporter gets assigned a story and researchers it out and writes about it. Research can include lots of things but asking people is an important step.

I guess. I guess I just felt like most of those foodie articles are written in the first person as if the writer had consumed the food or drink their self.

Whoa!
Ya'll are talking about my 'hood.
When did you try the coffee there? Were they selling food at that point?

I was there about a month ago. You live in/near Baker?
