    Macha Tea with a Cappuccino in the back.
    Melinda H.

    While the location is great, 3 cups will serve "replacements" to fill orders that are bad or old. My daughter went with her friends and was served old bread instead of a croissant and charged full price. We live within walking distance of 3 Cups but usually drive to other coffee shops. It's just ok.

    Inside

    3 cups has lots of seating area inside. The people who work here are very kind. Parking is very easy, they have a parking lot in the back. Their coffees and teas are very tasty. It's a great place to do some early morning or late night work at. They also serve wine and cheese in the evening, they also have gelato and other dessert as well. It is also a great place to chat and hang out. I definitely recommend giving this location a visit.

    Cheese board

    Had a lovely time at 3 cups. The cheese board was lovely and well balanced. The service was great. The ambiance is perfect for studying or catching up. The teas however were lacking flavor. Will have to return to try the coffee.

    Affogato

    Decent coffee. They do offer a lot of seasonal flavors, and it seems to be a hip place to have coffee and chat or work, but the coffee is fine. One thing worth mention is their gelato. As for the service, sometimes you'll feel like you're back in high school, hoping to get the popular kids' attention just to order a cup of latte... The deco is clean, simple, and modern. A good place to hangout in the neighborhood, since there aren't many choices.

    Very nice cafe to grab a beverage. It was really nice and spacious inside as well so you can definitely lounge about too. They have great looking pastries as well (didn't get any but definitely considered the chocolate chip cookie). Their staff were friendly and the latte I purchased was great. This is a wonderful place to get coffee! Smelled lovely inside as well.

    Parking back of building. There is outside seating. Inside was busy on a Saturday morning. I got a regular coffee and my husband got an açaí bowl. I liked the coffee. My husband like the açaí bowl. The line was long but it was quick. Their food case was sparse looked like they were running out of pastries. Only thing I didn't like and I know they can't control it is flies. That's one thing if I see flies it just turns me off to try any food but that's just me. I would come back if I was in the area!

    Ham baguette

    We went just to get food, and for all three of our very simple foods it took over 30 minutes. We waited 30 minutes for a baguette that should have taken five minutes. When we asked the workers about it and asked them if we could have it, they started whispering and talking bad about us right in front of us. Very unprofessional and unimpressed with the food and the service. I have attached the photo of the baguette that took what felt like a year to make. My biggest issue was their attitude and how they made us feel bad for wanting the food we paid for. The girls who made it were both brunette and had tattoos and septum piercing.

    I'm not frequently in the heart of Holliday, but I have made it to 3 cups on a few occasions. They have a great layout and location for a nice cup of coffee. But in addition, they also have unique ice cream flavors, that make a great affogato. I tried a high west whiskey ice cream with mine, and it complemented beautifully. The other drinks are good as well, and on par with other coffee shops. The staff has always been friendly and my drinks came out quickly. They offer a number of snack items as well that are worth trying out. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    If I could put a zero I would. The woman who took our order was incredibly unwelcoming and impatient. My friends and I came in, were not greeted, and when we tried to order, the woman with blue hair was not attentive nor present with us. She did not communicate in a way that was acceptable, she mumbled and nodded her head as responses. Coffee and tea were great but the environment and service were poor. definitely would not recommend.

    Hot ham and cheese sandwich. Fall (apple) lattes

    Great local coffee shop with private (booth) or shared (farm table) seating options. If you get there early you'll find a solid selection of pastries and other baked goods. I had the breakfast empanadas most recently, they had been heated, but still had cold spots inside.

    Americanos!
    Ally A.

    In my quest for Salt Lake City coffee perfection, 3 Cups certainly stands out above the rest. Really great, airy ambiance. I'm excited to come back to tuck away in a booth and get some work done. The americanos come with milk unless otherwise specified which I wasn't anticipating but wasn't disappointed by. By far my favorite local espresso I've tried. The baristas really have it dialed in here.

    This place is meh. Overpriced food and coffee. Their teas are okay. They want you to rent booths to sit in. It's laughable.

    This is by far one of my most favorite coffee shops in Salt Lake. Sadly, I live on the other side…read moreof the valley and never get over to the shop anymore. Been coming in this place for almost 12 years now and it's consistent favorite. The pastries were good. I liked them. They didn't have them in a refrigerator cage, like some absolute troglodyte. The coffee is good, but we're really get me as their staff. They're really chill. They'll talk to you a little bit. They're friendly you know they don't look like they're hating their lives by being at work. It's the kind of people you used to see coffee shops all the time. I don't know what's happened the current generation they just don't appreciate the coffee culture.

    My sister and I had some time to kill before we can check into our Airbnb. So we looked up coffee…read morejoints near us and Higher Ground popped up. They looked pretty legit so we went and checked them out. Walking in, this joint is really neat. There's coffee bags lining the ceiling. There's a couple old chairs that you can chill at in the corner surrounded by plants. The light was shining brightly through the windows. It has a very chill, easy vibe here. We got a couple drinks ordered and a CaBreezy panini started. I got myself an iced americano with sugar free vanilla and room for cream. My sister got a hot peppermint mocha. We chilled at the 2 big old chairs while our goodies were being prepared. My drink was so good! I did add a packet of Splenda and some cinnamon to my coffee, so tasty!! I appreciate that my americano wasn't watered down. I didn't get to try my sister's drink but she said it was really good! We did share the CaBreezy panini. It was delicious! It was balanced pesto, balsamic glaze and mozzarella. The tomato was fresh and ripe. The ciabatta was warm and crispy. I probably could have had another half but we are trying to save room for dinner. It was nice chillin here for a bit. Everything was great. The barista that was working did a great job on our drinks and food. Happy I got to check out this local coffee joint on this beautiful Sunday.
