Great coffee shop! The latte is excellent, and if you like flavoring, they make it themselves! Great pastries, including some gluten free options. Cute location. read more

I ordered an ice coffee. They charged me $4, which made me think "wow this place is really expensive". I finally got my coffee after 10 minutes but they gave me "a cold brew" instead. And the cold brew tasted like a diluted coffee with a slight syrup flavor. I came here cause they have good reviews. Also their WiFi is useless. I wanted to work on my research but it took a couple minutes to open a page, and was unable to do what I came here for. I have to say, I'm very disappointed. read more

I've been coming to 3 cups since they opened, and things have gone down hill to say the least. They seem more concerned with their workshops and events versus selling great coffee and pastries. Their baristas are also hit and miss. On one visit last week, I had a barista count out her tips in front of me before helping me. I ordered a morning tart and she handed it to me cold, instead of offering to hear it up. I have been kicked out of my spot because they had someone reserve a space. I've been told I'm dumb by a barista because I miss ordered one day. I keep coming back hoping that this place will turn around and that it will be the coffee shop I fell in love with. It seems the only times things are going right are times that Derek, the owner is around, without his wife nagging him and the other workers. read more

3 Cups - Yummy soy latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Holladay, Utah

We're regulars at Caputo's and they suggested that we try the gelato at 3 Cups, so we moseyed on down. The gelato was really good! Not too sweet nor over flavored, the texture was creamy and rich - it was great. We tried a few flavors and I loved how fresh all of them were. It was very reminiscent of actual Italian gelato (other than the large portions). It'll be our new post Caputo's stop. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the SLC area! I come here often to work on on my laptop. Great coffee and tea, delicious seasonal toast, nice atmosphere, and helpful staff. Make sure to try the Lady of the Earl tea blend. read more

One of my favorite additions to Holladay's City Center is 3 Cups. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is always friendly. I think you can tell the owners were super intentional with how they wanted to create a space that provided opportunities for privacy and community. I've had a few business meetings here (I do public relations consulting), and it's a great atmosphere for collaborating. I've got a 9yo son who repeatedly asks to visit this joint -- he loves their gelato selection and on cold days opts for a flavored steamed milk (we're fans of the lavender shortbread that accompany warm beverages). The pastries are decadent and delicious and (if memory serves) the soundtrack is always on point... then again, I may just imagine the place with music because my head is happy and at ease when I'm at 3Cups: for work, play or just a little self-care in the form of a warm cup of....(choose your own adventure--you can't go wrong!) read more

A cup of love from 3 Cups... I am a huge coffee snob. If you want consistently good coffee, 3 Cups is the place. Family owned and operated, with love and care for quality, sustainable ingredients. From the beans and the roast, to the in-house Gelato... simply delicious! read more

Coffee shop in a quiet mall (for a Monday morning). Parking was easily found. Walked in and was confused as to where to order food from, the blackboard menu was sparse and the food menu was a small handout. I ordered a caramel latte and my husband a mocha. He also got cinnamon toast and I got the avocado toast (it sounded good at the time). I took a few sips of my coffee and a couple bites of my toast and threw it out. The coffee was burnt, sour, and bitter, as was my toast. I am a coffee snob, but don't tend to be picky enough to throw out perfectly good caffeine. This, however, was an exception, even my husbands mocha was grossly sour and bland. I don't know how they pull shots, but either this was a bad batch of beans, of they are pulling way too long (and watery). My toast was also bitter/sour, how do you make an avocado taste like that? Just....not good unfortunately. Neither of us finished our drinks, but my husband said the cinnamon toast was amazing. Yay, 1+ star for that. Atmosphere was airy and calming, and our cashier was pleasant enough, but the food and drinks will keep us from coming back. read more

I love this place! Their app's so easy to use, their drinks/food are always delicious, and their staff's nice. They also got super creative when it came to staying open (safely) during the pandemic. Kudos to this coffee shop! read more

I try something new every time I go, and I've been very pleased! Their coffee (hot & iced) is delicious, I'm obsessed with their plain green teas, as they have such a delicate yet earthy flavor. They give you a little cookie with every hot drink. Their matcha lattes will leave you satisfied, and as will their selection of sweet and savory foods. A GREAT place to study in the middle of the day, if you're by yourself, as there's lots of plugs and seatings, and quiet music/people. Can be tricky to meet here if you're larger than a group of 3-4 and you need the outlets. If you're just meeting to chat, you'll be pleased. Everyone that's ever served me has been nice enough, some nicer than others. They're always will to give you suggestions and let you know about substitutions. read more

I used to really like this place, but service has gone way down and pretension way up. After paying $16 for a large latte and toast, I then had to wait 20 minutes, and then berated for getting my order to go...which I did not. I wanted it to stay. No one asks questions and the staff is outrageously pretentious and rude. This was not always the case, but now seems to be the norm. read more

What a fantastic place to get a shot of espresso in the greater Salt Lake area. I try to visit every time I'm in town.

3 Cups - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Holladay, Utah

I like 3 cups a lot. Especially their blue iced tea. They recently got my order wrong, but I can't be, and wasn't mad because they are one of the best coffee shops there, in SLC, and that is saying a lot. Do you love glorious baked goods and toasts with your beverages De caffeine? Or even without caffeine? You will get them here. Have one. ANY one! They are sooooo good and diverse. I go every time I'm in SLC. read more

It's in a big space, that's modern and minimalist. A good place to stay for a few hours. They have wifi, so it is easy to work all day on your computer with a good cup of coffee or just read a book. They serve coffee from La Barba, Publik and Blue Copper, some of the best in town. As a La Barba fan, that is what brings me here most of the time when I don't feel like driving downtown. They also serve a variety of pastries and breakfast. The first time I came here I had their Meyer lemon cake and it was to die for. It was very moist, light, fluffy and not too sweet, exactly how I like it. The last time I came, I had it again and it was a total disappointment, it wasn't as fluffy as I expected, way too oily and too much food coloring. Their toasts in general are ok but nothing special and a bit pricey for what they serve. As for their acai bowl, they are good but again a bit pricey for a small bowl. So in general, I will say the service is good, the coffee is excellent, the ambiance is great, but the food is mediocre, and while the place is quite clean, three dishes that were served to us were slightly broken. I don't think it's acceptable to serve food to your customers with pretty much all the dishes broken. And it's definitely not safe and hygienic. read more

3 Cups is located in beautiful downtown Holladay. When we arrived, there was no street parking available, so we parked across the street by Harmons and walked. We we're going to meet our friends and sat outside in the front, but found them in the back where the parking is located. There was ample parking, but note that spots fill up quickly. Dogs are welcomed, so I waited outside with ours while the others ordered. We ordered a vanilla latte and vanilla breve. Our friends ordered açaí bowls that looked delicious! I walked through before we left. The bakery and gelato display cases were beautiful and I cannot wait to go back and try them all. They have a to-go freezer in the back with pints of gelato and bags of cookie balls. They also have a wine and cheese board at night, which is on our list of next date ideas. Prices were a bit on the pricey side, but makes sense for the location and vibe. It won't be an every weekend for us, but was a cute date morning with our friends. read more

Go for the pastries as Amber is a genius. Try the brownies, scones, breakfast pastry with an egg cracked in the middle, lemon cake. I could go on, and on and on. That girl can bake. Then stay for some delicious coffee or hot chocolate or gelato. I love the summer choice of half granita and half cold brew. 3 Cups cold brew is some of the best and I was raised on Silver Bean's cold brew which is excellent. The hot chocolate is made with homemade chocolate sauce, I saw them whipping some up a week or so ago. Again, well made and yummy! The place has a great vibe and very long communal table. I love that. Jeremy has done a wonderful job and Amber, well, she rocks everything she bakes. read more

Once upon a time, a wise man said the internet ruins everything. He was right then and right now, as I can't look at the name of this place without thinking of the singular cup and the dual girls thereby associated of some viral renown of a video nature. Then again, given that the preceding 21 reviewers to this have seen fit not to mention it, perhaps it's just me, but the point still remains. I presume the owners not to have named their business* after that illustrious clip... What in here is very white, aside from the communal benches. It feels sort of sleek and modern, but also somewhat cold and sterile for a coffee shop. Even the menu itself, in stunning black and white, is a portrait in the austere. There is not a single seat in here that looked (or was, from the ones we tried) comfortable. This didn't stop a pile of people from hanging out and being immersed in their computers or other electronic gadgetry, but I found it kind of off-putting. On the plus side, at least you can tell rather immediately if it's clean or not, I suppose... This being more of a straight ahead coffee shop, there is little in the way of actual lunch-y stuff. Their pastries are quite good, from the cookies to the brownies and so on. Tea was solid, though the staff had difficulty following a request to serve it to me at somewhat less than boiling temperatures. My interest was in the Smorrebrod, actually the entire reason for the visit, which unfortunately was a version completely not to my liking. There are some stray elements not listed in it, which precluded me from either eating or enjoying it. There are some other items on the menu that looked interesting, so perhaps I'll be back to try them if I'm ever in the area again, but this is definitely not a destination spot for me. * I'm guessing the cups are meant to be coffee, tea and gelato or something. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop to work at! Very chill environment, cool people, great chai latte, great food! Try the seasonal toast. Has WiFi & outlets for charging laptop. Cool booths to work at with friends. Love it! read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon. Parking in back is a little weird with warning signs so we parked on the street North of the strip. Decor is sparse, but functional, and it was well populated. We got good service from behind the counter and found a table. The gelato and waffle cone were delicious and made with good ingredients. The rest of the baked goods were overpriced, dry, and left me feeling meh. They seemed homemade but day old. Outdoor seating and decent cafe menu were there. Altogether, a good option if you don't want to wait for other brunch or cafe places. read more

This place is super cute and it reminds of something I would find in Cali or Europe. I love the clean lines and colors and the beautiful pastries and gelato. But I came here for an acai bowl and it was supremely disappointing. Looks pretty but only a few pieces of blueberries and two raspberries. Plus the bowl was super watery. It was either watered down or they used cheap ingredients. I ordered the mango and there wasn't a mango to be found. Maybe they meant mango juice? I don't know but for close to $8.50? I should just stick with the acai place in Sugarhouse. Place is so cute but the food. I hope they don't offer an acai bowl just to say that they have it. If their specialty is pastry and gelato stick with that. read more

If you're going to drink coffee, you need to drink GOOD coffee. One of my many wise life lessons is as follows: Don't ever let yourself believe that you deserve McDonalds McCafe coffee. Reward yourself, and let 3 Cups help guide your way. 3 Cups sprouted up in Holladay after a phase of my life ended there... so this cute little location had been on my list to try for a while now. I had my reservations, as I'm not in the general vicinity any more, and honestly... it's such a drive for a cup of coffee. Another life lesson for you: Learn from my mistake NOW. Start walking out the door, and head down/up/over/around to 3 Cups STAT! Preferably, NOW, before they close at 8pm (if you're reading this on a weekday) or 9pm/6pm (depending on if it's Sat/Sun)!!! On an outing with my best friend, we decided to extend our #Saturdate down to 3 Cups. When walking in, we were immediately overwhelmed with the gorgeous display of in-house baked goods, and colorful gelatos. They had a special Chocolate Peppermint layer cake, and because it was our hot Saturdate, we of course got one to share. Knowing that the cake was going to put me down, I ordered a simple drip coffee, while my best friend went for a cappuccino with added caramel flavoring. The drip coffee [From Blue Copper Coffee in SLC] was amaazzing and came with a cute lemon-poppy seed biscuit. Once getting her cappuccino (with a caramelly looking poppy seed biscuit), my friend described it as one of the best one's she had ever had. The coffee was not burned at all, it had a nice creamy consistency, and the caramel flavor-shot perfectly accented the drink without being overbearing. The Chocolate Peppermint cake was, as you would imagine, painfully good. The peppermint flavor was also not overpowering in the least, and was the perfect mix with the chocolate cake. The slice was ginormous, and though the two of us split it, we could not finish it together. I, of course, had to ask about the Gelato; if it was made in-house, or from a mix. The employee was annoyed to answer my question, but did so with a simple "It's made in house". As soon as I sat back down, a woman - who I presume to be the owner? - came over to talk with me more about the Gelato, which was a really nice aspect to our stop in 3 Cups. I enjoyed being able to talk with her in more depth about the menu items they had (I also took this opportunity to ask about the baked goods), especially after the brush-off attitude I got (twice) from the employee. She asked if I wanted to try any of the gelato flavors, and had I not just consumed less than half of the Chocolate Peppermint layer cake, and had I not been feeling the extensive amount of sugar coursing through my veins, I would have tried some no questions asked. $2 for a scoop of house-made gelato? That's insane deal prices, man. I am very excited to go back and try some more of the baked goods that 3 Cups has to offer - especially the savory ones. The set up inside is very simple, with a very modern feel, and the bulk of everything being white. I love the simplicity of it, and can see this being a nice study spot in the future, or an adult-late-night-hangout joint on Saturdays. read more

So far so good. If you can get over the "hipster" vibe that many people have attributed to 3 cups, then you'll be fine. It's a big place with a lot of space that has a nice modern look to it. The staff has always been great and helpful, and even though i don't drink coffee, i've always enjoyed myself. They've got a variety of things to get including gelato, acai bowls, toast and a few daily specials that are always fun. The toast is an interesting idea (maybe i'm just not up to date with my food?) but it's really a great addition. Of course they have a selection of tea's and coffee, along with a killer hot chocolate. read more

3 Cups is a newish coffee shop located in Holladay. They specialize is local coffee and pastries and reminds me of coffee shops in the Bay Area. They feature coffee from Blue Copper, La Barba, and Publik. All of these coffees can be used for various types of drinks (e.g. pour over, cortado, espresso, latte). Since the summer is in full swing they also have cold brew on nitro which is amazing. They also have hot and cold tea. I can recommend all of these especially the pour over, cold brew, and cortado. They also sell coffee by the bag, brewing equipment, and their own gear. While the coffee is similar to the shops of the roasters they carry, the pastries and food is creative, fun, and delicious. They have their homemade gelato which often features local alcohol like Highwest Whiskey. I had an amazing Caramel Highwest gelato. 3 Cups has an amazing egg and bacon or spinach tart that I would highly recommend. I can also recommend the brioche and toast. Pastries are all made in house and are some of the best in the Salt Lake City area. The space that 3 Cups occupies has a modern feel with Eames like furniture. There is plenty of communal space, group tables, and booths. The parking is in the back and plentiful. They have wifi and plenty of power ports. There are other options around the area such as Taqueria 27, Copper Kitchen, and Caputos if you need an after meal coffee or just want to browse around. They have a farmers market in front of 3 Cups on Saturdays. It seems that 3 Cups is the place to be on Saturdays and you will likely see me their. Grab a pastries and your favorite coffee drink at 3 Cups and maybe I will see you. read more

The most unique coffee & baked goods you'll have! The coffee is strong and presented in the cutest cups. Both iced & hot is highly recommended. The ice cream is a must have as well. This is a great place to set up tent to study as well as there are outlets in every sitting area. Sitting here transported me to the coffee shops of Portland and San Francisco. Highly recommended!! Wish salt lake had more places like this. read more

Not only is this the absolute cutest place, their treats are amazing. My all time favorite go to is their lavender honey gelato. It never ever fails. If you cannot decide always get the lavender honey gelato. The staff is so friendly and they even give samples of the gelato. Last time I was in I tried the raspberry cream cheese scone and it melted in my mouth and completely satisfied every taste bud. I've never had anything but sweets here, but I've always wanted to try their fancy toast and coffee. This place is a true gem and perfect for an after lunch or dinner treat! Cannot say enough good things about 3 cups. read more

The atmosphere and store design here is perfect for studying, writing, or just enjoying your morning/afternoon visiting with friends. There are pastry options for everyone including fellow vegans! *happy dance* The barista I encountered was fantastic with information and suggestions when it came to buying beans and or choosing drinks. If you like your coffee strong, however, ask for an extra shot since the espresso seemed to be a bit mellow. The dirty chai was an interesting experience but I would definitely recommend getting a mocha here. (With an extra shot of course ) read more

Uhm yes please. This is the only other coffee joint I've found save Kaffe Mercantile that has great ambiance and KICK ASS espresso. Holy bananas. I always run new coffee joints through the Americano test and this one passed with flying colors. And gelato to boot? Their scones, along with essentially everything else, we're made in house and knocked my socks off. Please sir, may I have some more? read more

1 cup, 2 cup, 3 cup, 4! I love the ambiance at this place and I'm still kind of amazed it can be found in the Salt Lake region. I love that it has lots of open space that would be great for working or studying in. The variety of options for seating is perfect. I went here twice while I was in town. The fist time the service was awful. The lady helping us made it seem like she didn't want to be there and most likely wanted us to leave. I'm guessing because she was scheduled to work New Year's Eve? We waited in line for about 20 min to place our order with only about 2-3 people in front of us. The chai is awful and bland. It tastes like they boiled water and threw in a couple spices. I had three sips and threw it away. My BF ordered a double shot espresso and received one shot. We felt like we were bothering the cashier/barista by just placing our order so we didn't bother to make a correction even though we paid for the double. My mom got gelato the blood orange. I didn't like it, but she did. We went the next day again because I read the internet was fast and I wanted a good working space and why not give a second chance? This time was much better. I got a hot chocolate (difficult to mess up) and a peanut butter banana toast (it was ok) and my BF got a cappuccino. We kept it basic this time around. My mom got a bourbon gelato, this one was tasty. She also got a cranberry rosemary cookie package and those cookies were good. The service was much better this time around. I'd go back but if I solely reviewed off the first day I would have given a 1.5 rating if possible. read more

Solid cold brew, lots of seating outside in the shade, the minimalist hipster coffee joint aesthetic that I love. The only things keeping this from being a 5 star review are the WiFi (inconsistent) and the fact that the pastry case was pretty empty for a Sunday morning/afternoon. That being said, I'll probably come back when I'm in town. read more

I've recently started branching out from my standard go-to which is a pour over from local roaster/brewers and am currently on the Cappuccino boat and I don't plan on getting off this boat anytime soon. With that said, I enjoyed a pour over the first time I came here, an Ethiopian if I remember correctly. I liked the extra touch they added with the sparkling water to clear the palate so you can enjoy the subtle nuances of the single origin. Back to the Cappuccino now, I've had a few now at other local coffee shops and have experienced some bitter and metallic after notes from less than desirable espresso beans, not certain if from improper grinding, old beans, or inexperienced baristas, but 3 CUPS is the clear winner so far in SLC. Their Espresso is smooth, balanced, and rich with flavor. I'm running out of breath now, but just so we are clear the food is all baked/prepped/prepared in house and it is above top notch. End of story. read more
