    The Bomb
    Gemini U.

    When ordering a frozen mocha, it's either a hit or a miss depending on which location, and who is making it. This was my first time at this location, and it surpassed my expectations. From the service to one of the best frozen mocha's I've had in a long time. My daughter told me about the "Bomb" you can get here. I trust her, so I decided to order it. I had no idea this even existed, or I would have been ordering these all along. They are not on the "menu" so you have to ask for them. What they are is the frozen mocha, but with crunched up chocolate coffee beans. Ohhh so good. My new favorite foo foo drink. Service is drive thru only, but they get you in and out pretty quick. One thing I liked at this location was if your drinks were going to take a little bit longer to make, they have you "pull up" so that they can help the next customer. I wish more drive-thru places did this, so you don't have to wait for the car in front of you if their order is going to take longer than your "house" coffee order.

    Coffee To Cold Foam Ratio

    My Absolute Favorite Drink Is The Iced Caramel Cubano With Sweet Cream Cold Foam. But Lately It's Been A Hit Or Miss. One Day, Almost Half The Cup Was Coffee And The Rest Was Foam, Another Day, They Forgot To Add Whatever Sweetener They Put In It And It Was Too Bitter For Me To Drink. Lastly, The Most Recent Time, They Gave Me A 20oz Instead Of The 24oz I Asked For): I Use To ALWAYS Tip And I Love You Guys But Yall Needa Step It Up.

    Coffee tasted fine but why are your lids so loose. I cannot take a drink of coffee without it dripping all over me. As you can see in the photo, when I'm not drinking it, it's spilling out the sides of the cup when I drive (where the lid makes physical contact with the cup). There is seriously coffee all over my car, and I left a good tip ‍

    My first time to this establishment. Easy in and out for the drive through. Right across the street from East High school. Service was friendly and pretty quick. My latte was just okay. I'd try them again but maybe order differently.

    Frozen chai

    My favorite drink to get here is the frozen chai. It's perfect for a hot day and is so delicious. They give you a little chocolate covered coffee bean with your drink! I'm not a big coffee person anymore but it's a nice touch. Fast & good service too!

    The smoothies here are BOMB! It's a very nice after work pit stop. My favorite smoothie here is the strawberry banana and the chocolate coffee beans are a nice touch. The service here is also really really good. Whenever I bring my dog here they always offer him a bone and the smoothies are very consistent. Overall, service is fast and great, smoothies are amazing, and the location is easily assessable. 5/5.

This place has quickly become a staple every time I am in SLC and with a seasonal rotating menu, plus all the normal coffee shop classics, there's something for everyone. Matcha is great, chai is solid, coffee is great and they even have a decent selection of other teas. Don't even get me started on the assortment of breakfast foods and pastries (wonderful)! Their sourdough toast is a must and boasts an array of fresh toppings to choose from that anyone can find something they'll like. Price is average. Service is quick and friendly. Presentation is nice-enough (nothing to gawk at). There are minimal outlets but lots of seating indoor and outdoor, but there is seemingly always a line so that must mean the locals love it too. I'd come early! Oh! They also have a board full of community events and a local artist sticker machine which makes me excited every time I'm in town. For this visit, I got an iced oat banana matcha and a sourdough slice w ricotta and seasonal berries. The matcha was buttery and smooth, well mixed, and lightly sweet. You can definitely taste the banana but it is minimal, which I like. The toast came warm and soft and crispy in all the right places. Blackberries and blueberries were juicy and complimented the cheese/bread nicely. The honey added the softest sweetness, tying it all together.

I spoke to the gentleman who took my order and he raved about the cake, stated it was a shame they only made it once a year, etc. - all this to say, I certainly ordered and paid for the special cake. Flash forward to today when I break open the box to dish out the cake. It's not the cake. It's an olive oil cake, which is fine if you like it, my mother does not. Was Mother's Day ruined, no. But paying 50.00 dollars and driving to order the cake, then days later driving to pick up the cake, only for them to give me a cake you can literally get everyday is just wrong. So very saddened by this.

It's never been like that before I had my daughter take them and put them in the fridge until I got out of the hospital Monday and we took them back to the bakery on our way home from the hospital. The person that I brought the food back to which incidentally cost $15 started to interrogate me rather than listen to my gentle complaint simply to ask for an exchange so that I could enjoy them when I got home from the hospital he was beyond rude and condescending wouldn't even really listen to me or the description of the croissant that I normally get on a regular basis and know what they taste like look like et cetera took the croissants back into the kitchen and then came back out and asked me if I bake?! do I bake? they weren't in the same condition because they went from Room temperature to me having my Daughter put them in the refrigerator so that I could at least preserve them enough to just give them back showing that I hadn't just wanted free food or anything like that As I stated, I've been going there for almost 20 years. One croissant wasn't even touched mine was just torn apart trying to figure out why it was so mushy inside I've never had a problem with my Bread products or cakes that I've ever purchased there. I don't think I ever wanna go back to this place. The person that was rude to me. The only description I can say is he's black and probably gay and not fabulous. and I'm not racist or homophobic my boyfriend is black and my daughter is LGBTQ. This has nothing to do with anything other than a description of the person that literally made me cry when I got into my daughter's car. Fuck you Tulie Bakery you have just lost a true New Yorker who appreciates the best cookies cakes and pastries in the City fuck you!!! incidentally this review is for the bakery on 900 east next to the Pilates studio not the one on 15th !
