    I wish this menu was updated because I drove all the way here from Pleasant Grove to get this delicious chicken salad sandwich that was on the menu when I arrived he told me he hasn't seen that menu in years. Please update your advertisement.

    Caprese Grilled Cheese and chips
    David M.

    My first visit to Guru's Cafe was a revelation. Located on a busy street, I went at the recommendation of colleagues who knew that it was walking distance from my hotel (the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Provo, Utah). The menu is difficult to categorize. A little bit Tex-Mex; a little bit Indian; a little bit Italian; a little bit American -- and all of it made me want to order the menu! I ordered the Caprese Grilled Cheese (served with chips and a pickle). The grilled cheese, as one would expect, was basil pesto, tomato and cheese grilled between fresh focaccia. Succulent! I just wish it were a little bit larger, as it was not as large as I had hoped it might have been. The star of my meal, however, was the half order of Sweet Potato Fries that I ordered. Easily, and by a wide margin, the best sweet potato fries I have ever had. Crisp, no sogginess, perfect flavor. I embarrassed myself by eating more than enough for two or even three people. They will be my benchmark for sweet potato fries going forward. I will not hesitate to visit again!

    Great cafe right on main street Provo. I go here for coffee occasionally. The food is also amazing and lots of options with healthy portions but it's always packed haha. Big enough place though with two big rooms combined and outdoor seating. The focaccia sandwhich is to die for.

    Veggie bowl and a cookie.

    Atmosphere is casual. The food is good. Good amount of vegetarian options on the menu. Portions are good. Service is amazing and quick. Prices are fair. Everything is getting to be pricey. Large space with outlets if you need to plug in and do work or homework

    vegan Good Karma Noodles

    so happy they have vegan options! i got the "good karma noodles" and coconut squash soup. everything tasted very fresh and they loaded up the toppings on my pasta. soo much food for $17. i like that you order at the counter then seat yourself. i will definitely be back here.

    Salmon Tacos

    Food was great!! Wish it came out more warm, fries were pretty cold. We had to wait quite awhile for a salad to come out too. Staff wasn't super concerned with making sure food was brought out efficiently. However it was really flavorful and the space was open and great for dates or groups!

    Marco Polo pasta
    LeAnn B.

    The pastas we ordered were both good, both of them have artichoke hearts in them. Apparently veggie part on the menu is for vegetarian, good karma noodle has tofus instead of meat, the workers need to know their menu better because the one I talked to didn't explained it well. Sweet potato fries is always a hit!

    Black and blue quesadillas
    Dan S.

    We stopped by Guru's prior to going to a comedy show with some friends around 5:30 on a Friday. There was already a line to order and they were quite busy. The line was fast and we were eating before too much time had passed. Huge menu, reasonably priced, quick food. Lots to choose from and try. We ordered the Black and Blue Steak Wrap. I thought it was good but could only taste the blue cheese. I like blue cheese but wanted to taste the steak too. 3/5 My wife ordered the Maui Wowie wrap and it was really messy to the point you couldn't pick it up. My wife thought it would be better as a rice bowl with a fork. 3/5 Chips and Queso, lots of chips, queso was a little disappointingly bland, lacking flavor. When does cheese lack flavor? 2/5 Sweet Potato Fries. These were the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Seasoned really well and their smokey, bbq, fry sauce went with them perfectly. I'm actually craving these again now. A must order item. 5/5 Cookie Skillet Sunday. Amazing, slightly under cooked and doughy, just like a Sunday should be. 5/5 Well give it another try if we're back in town as there was a bunch of things on the menu that sounded good.

    Funky "trees" in Guru's
    Trevor M.

    This place is so weird. Which isn't bad, but I have no clue what type of vibe they're going for inside, since there's funky little fake trees and some fun lighting and also a portrait of Gandhi on the wall. It could make for a really interesting roommate outing or date night, but their menu is pretty hit or miss, at least with the people I've gone with. To order, you go up to the register at the counter, then grab a number and seat yourself, and then they bring your food out to your table. The menu has a wide variety of options, but, again, I'm not exactly sure what vibe or cuisine they're going for. I've gotten the curry quesadilla a few times. One time I actually went to the restaurant specifically for the curry quesadilla, which is a good sign. Their sweet potato fries are also pretty good. The last time I was there, it took so long to get my food that I had to go up and ask about it, and then my quesadilla was a little too salty on the outside. Overall, a fun little place in downtown Provo that's easy to get to on the UVX and has pretty good value for the price. (Updated to add photos)

    Food here is good. One of the only places open on Sunday in Provo for breakfasts. We got the crepes and they were really good.

    The sweet potato fries with fry sauce are very good with a coke. The cilantro lime chicken quesadilla is amazing!

    Friendly service but the food was not cooked correctly. I requested over easy eggs and got fully cooked. The potatoes were ok but greasy.

    The food was fine. They have big portion sizes. But the taste is not necessarily on point. Fast service.

    This is the third time we've been here and the first time I've left a review…read more We were excited to visit again because we don't often make it to the Orem area. When we arrived and sat down, we were greeted by Joe telling us that "House rules, you're not allowed to order the same item". Lol. Love that guy! We both ordered Denver omelets, one without onions,extra mushrooms, French toast, and grits and one without mushrooms, hash browns, and pancakes. First off, the pancakes were amazing! They're light, had crispy edges, and had a wonderful flavor. But the best thing was it was in the shape of little donuts, which was a nice surprise. Our entrees came but were somehow got switched. We didn't realize it at first but both were still good. Unfortunately, my wife put Chalula on hers and I put Tobasco on mine and we don't like each other's choice of condiments. The other unfortunate thing was that I had an eggshell in my omelet. Even though we had these misfortunes you can't hide the flavor of these dishes and they certainly don't skimp on toppings. My grits were too sweet today. If it's too sweet for me, it must've been really sweet. The only other criticism I saw was that they were filling the syrup bottles from large Log Cabin jugs. They also were using Idahoan shredded potatoes from a large carton. I can understand the potatoes but how great would it be to have freshly made syrup. Still a great experience and they are still one of the best breakfast places on the state.

    Took my family to Joe's and it was so worth it! As we were walking down the sidewalk looking for…read morethe entrance - Joe, himself, called out to us to come on over because he was waiting to hold the door. This warm, friendly welcome set the tone for the whole experience. Joe stopped by and told us the "rules". Everyone orders something different and we all share. My daughters both ordered waffles but one got it in a combo so she could follow the rules. I got the breakfast burrito with Texas sausage & bacon. My husband got the eggs & diced ham with a side of biscuits and gravy. My son got the French Dip because you can order breakfast or lunch at 10 am. Everyone ate a good portion if not all of their food. It was good. We will definitely be back. For the food but more for the service!
