You mean good coffee? I mean every gas station has coffee, most fast food places as well. Coffee is everywhere. Utah had a lack of coffee places except for SLC proper. It has a bunch and good places.
Edit, I also just remembered there is a beans and Brew on California Ave just past redwood. That is 3 blocks from where you just listed.
I did mean decent coffee. We have a coffee syrup machine at work.
I didn't know about that beans and brews. You're a life saver buddy.

Surely a lack of Starbucks is a good thing ?? Why is it anyone thinks they make anything even halfway resembling good coffee ??
Shush they're not from Melbourne they know nothing about our caffeinated paradise.

seriously dude, i've had one good coffee in the US One. In a tiny little cafe in the northwest of Maui Everything else there it's like drinking petrol.
Not that there's anything wrong with drinking petrol tho ..
Starbucks is crappy coffee, we have plenty of actually good coffee shops in SLC. Diaw can confirm that fact.
I've traveled all over the world, and I'm a coffee lover. The US has the best coffee. Some places have better specialties, like Turkish coffee or espresso, but overall, the US is flooded with good coffee.
The Marmalade library does coffee and chocolate classes every month that are great. They talk a lot about Utah's market for both.
Utah and particularly SLC really geek out on making really good versions of certain things, coffee and chocolate both being in that list.
A few places go out of their way to bring in the best beans they can find and go through quite the process to make a perfect cup of coffee. La Barba, blue copper and publik are the best to me.
On a side note about chocolate..
I was surprised to find out that we are one of the premier chocolate making places in the world and have multiple places winning awards at the highest levels in world competition. Utah has been named the chocolate capital of the world multiple times over the last few years.
Yeah Americans know nothing about coffee, I go to Greens in Brunswick, they use Illy, serve organic food at good prices, been going there for over ten years.
