Salt Lake’s Best New Restaurants and Bars
If there’s one thing Utahns do best, it’s line up for a hot new opening, and this fall has given Salt Lake plenty of reasons to show up. Here are a few of the latest food and drink spots around town.
JJ Coffee
This viral coffee shop from Orem has officially landed in Salt Lake City, and the opening drew quite the crowd. I’ve got my eyes on their housemade banana bread syrup.
La Casa Del Tamal
A longtime West Valley favorite known for their birria tacos and tamales, La Casa Del Tamal is now open in Salt Lake City’s growing Post District.
Azúcar
You’ll also find Azúcar’s newest location inside La Casa Del Tamal. This coffee bar is for the city slickers who want to grab some morning caffeine before heading into work.
Molly Tea
Located in Salt Lake City’s Chinatown, this tea chain specializes in jasmine tea, but peeps in the Google reviews are also raving about the matcha.
Amarza Bakery
The Latin-Caribbean-inspired pastries at Amarza Bakery are worth the drive to Riverton.
