I frequented this street while in town for a conference and had to check out Three Pines Coffee. The big windows out front caught my eye, and their minimalist interior was inviting. I stopped in to order a 12oz iced americano. It's a no frills, we-let-our-coffee-do-the-talking type of place. Two staff were working behind the counter, and there was a glass case full of enticing treats like a lavender short bread cookie with specks of lavender in the sugar glaze (a cookie I wish I ordered). They have little tables with stools and an industrial-minimalist vibe. I didn't linger because I had to grab my caffeine to go, but I would've if I had more time. They have seating right in front of the big windows which would be awesome for people-watching and lingering over a latte. All in all, great coffee! read more

Latte was perfect, not too sweet milk was nice and creamy frost. This is just a coffee shop, very minimal or exciting options for food. Pro tip, go next-door get a breakfast sandwich or pastry at Eva's bakery, get your coffee at three Pines and enjoy sit at the ample seating outside (the two places that are only 150 feet apart from each other) read more

I want to, but I can't support this place. I even gave it another chance because the coffee and spot are so good. The cup leaked. I asked for another one, and that one leaked. The man working was polite and friendly, but the woman working was not. She literally said, "What do you want me to do about it?" No apology, nothing. There's a great window in front, but it's partially blocked with a flag. There's no wifi. The coffee was delicious, though. I saw they were selling Heart beans, so I'm guessing that's what they use. It was close to where I was staying, so I went in again, this time with my own cup. There, seated in the front with a cup of coffee, gifted to him I'm guessing, was a homeless man having a psychotic episode. Yes, there's oppression in the world, and it feels insensitive to write this, but I'd just like a quiet place to sip coffee and look out the window. I don't want to pay a place to have to deal with that. I'm all good with people being real, but if I'm paying for the privilege, I'm a lot less understanding. Customers should come first in a business. read more

All time best parties made in house by one of the BARISTAS! The SHORTBREAD COOKIE and LEMON OLIVE OIL cake were so true to flavor with the perfect textures. Tasted so home made yet so professionally executed. Soft yet crispy shortbread with rosemary and lavender icing was so unique and the olive oil cake was so moist and lemony without being overly sweet or icing heavy. HIDDEN GEM! The Latte also embodied the specialty coffee shop feel. read more

We stopped into Three Pines Coffee around 2 in the afternoon on a drizzly day because I was craving something warm. I'm normally a bit of a coffee snob, but I was worried the caffeine would keep me up that night, so I switched things up and went with a decaf chai. It was exactly what the doctor ordered! My friend had a hot matcha and absolutely loved it too. I was also blown away by the beautiful designs they create in the drinks. Seriously impressive! Such a great little spot to warm up on a gloomy afternoon! read more

Cute little coffee shop downtown Salt Lake City! The shop was small but still had several places to sit inside if you wanted to hang. I went right when they opened so it wasn't busy at all and the baristas were very friendly. I typically order a honey latte but they don't have honey so I got a vanilla latte and it was really yummy! read more

Wish I found this coffee shop the first day of my trip. The Americano was very tasty and was "cheap". The coffee was smooth. Liked the all inclusive price model and wasn't badgered for a tip. The staff were very friendly and fun to speak with. They appeared to like their job. The music selection in the shop was not overwhelming loud.

I like this place. I came here after going to that coffee shop in the alley behind Galivan. I wanted cold brew and the owner said cold brew is not coffee. I told that to the staff at Three Pines and they laughed. And sold me cold brew coffee! I asked for a little vanilla syrup and they actually asked my to try it to see if it was sweet enough. That's great customer service. And they sell cold brew which is perfect for a warm afternoon. read more

Went there, coffee was great but for some odd reason they only had hot drinks, no I.C.E. Lol anyways great location very nice place just to hang out and enjoy a great cup of coffee. The service was very nice and fast. Will go again if I'm ever back downtown. read more

Excellent little coffee shop in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. After a bunch of travel, I needed an afternoon pick-me-up and something to eat before a later dinner and Three Pines Coffee did the trick. The vanilla, oat milk latte was expertly crafted and the quality of the beans was evident in each and every sip. A selection of pastries and bagels all looked great and I opted for the everything bagel heated and served with a side of cream cheese. The bagel was top notch with a great crunch on the outside and served so you could pull it apart and dunk it in the cream cheese. A unique approach but it worked! The coffee shop is bright and friendly and a record player with a solid lineup of records was behind the counter which must make for an amazing music vibe within the coffee shop. Definitely will be checking this place out again when back in SLC! read more

I visited a while ago after I saw their "brew" painting on TikTok. I was looking for a cute place to grab a drink and study. It's cute, yes -- but if you're looking for a study spot with wifi, this is not that place. I took my drink and walked to the library, but I'm not mad about it because it was a nice day and the shop is located on a cute street!! I got my drink pretty quickly, so the service was good! read more

As an avid daily matcha consumer, I always head straight to Yelp whenever visiting a new city to get my morning fix when I'm traveling without the materials to make my own latte. In most cities, it can be challenging to find a shop that doesn't sell a watered down, overpriced version and even more challenging to find one that makes a decent *hot* matcha latte but I was pretty satisfied with Three Pines' iteration. I ordered mine with whole milk, an extra scoop of matcha (no extra charge) and a pump of vanilla syrup. The drink came out adequately strong, the ideal amount of sweet and relatively well-blended without clumps (bonus points for the barista actually sifting the powder) but did still have some powdery residue towards the end. Really appreciated this warm treat on a chilly autumn morning to help fuel my trek up Ensign Peak! I would recommend stopping by either here and/or Matcha Cafe Kyoto (for a wider selection of fun flavors and also desserts, but not open til 11a) to get your matcha fix in Salt Lake :) read more

Three Pines Coffee - Hot matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The most basic coffee shop ever. No frozen drinks. 16 oz is the largest they serve. They have 2 flavors, chocolate and vanilla. In the downtown area no one wants to go through the effort of getting to your place to be so limited in selection. I wanted a basic caramel americano. So I got vanilla just to make it worth the walk up the street. The service was fine, wait was minimal, and the drink turned out pretty dang good in spite of the vanilla. Shop was clean and cool as well. I would give it 5 stars if they start blending drinks and widen their flavor selection. It down have to compete with Starbucks but PLEASE give us a little more to choose from. read more

Their Dirty Chai was not too sweet and was proper spicy. I don't like when the chai is just a sugar bomb so this was the perfect experience for me! Lavender shortbread didn't really taste like anything. Zucchini Orange Bundt was not too sweet and was nice and moist! read more

My partner is an absolute coffee snob, and he said his cappuccino tasted like one in Italy! Extremely high praise for him. Service was quick and friendly. The interior was cozy and had only a handful of seats, but it was not busy on the morning we stopped in. Matcha was highly rated but was $7-8 which was a little steep, but the price includes tax and no tipping is necessary. Would consider trying it out next time! read more

Tried the drip, black. Was perfect! Real coffee, in a real coffee cup, price is what you see is what you pay.

My dirty chai is not listed on menu but the barista was kind enough to offer to make it when I asked if they had it. It was delicious! I love how smooth the frothed milk is and how it's not foamy. It's like if I need to describe the perfect frothed milk and it gets it. read more

Do one thing, do it well. That's this place in a nutshell. It makes coffee. Very very well. No tipping, no wifi, no particular extravagance or extras, just really great coffee in a really cozy spot. Plus vinyl! There's something about the simple coffee + music vibe here that really works. It's tiny so you might not get a seat, but if you do you'll appreciate your entire experience. I would also like to award a sixth star for the name and logo. As a reader of the Inspector Gamache series, it's kind of perfect. read more

The coffee shop was super cute! Loved the decorations and the vibe, the coffee was good and ready quickly! Service was great, they were nice, respectful and efficient. Definitely would go back! read more

One of the best coffee destinations in town for a very curated coffee experience.

I love to try coffee in new cities and we stopped at three pines our first day in SLC. it was highly rated so I was so excited to give it a try! The shop is really tight, not big enough to push our stroller in so my husband had to wait outside which wouldn't have been a big deal but it had just snowed and was absolutely freezing. I was the only one ordering coffee and it seemed to take a long time even with 4 girls behind the register. One was glued to her phone, so more like 3. Once we got our coffee it was.... Okay. A bit sour? Which isn't a flavor I've experience before. Not my preferred shop. read more

I heard about this place on Instagram and so glad I found it. It was right around the corner from our hotel. The place was cute inside and out. If it wasn't so chilly it would have been nice to sit outside in front of the shop watching folks walk by. The shop is located downtown in a great location. The coffee was good and strong! Perfect. And our barista was super nice and welcoming when he found out we were from out of town. We purchased a bag to brew at home. I highly recommended visiting Three Pines Coffee if you are in Salt Lake, Utah. read more

Lovely coffee spot and still one of my slc favorites ! Service is chill. Can't go wrong with any of the drinks- I love the lattes, matcha, and chai. Knocking off one star due to value. Overpriced in my opinion, but I guess you pay for it being in the heart of downtown. read more

I know it's a coffee shop... but I came for the cookies. The brown butter chocolate chunk cookies they serve on Mondays and Wednesdays are fantastic. The store itself is beautiful. I love the simplistic design and how fresh and clean it feels. Parking is limited and so is seating but there is some areas to sit outside the shop if you need a minute to relax. The staff was very friendly, and a 5 star coffee shop in my opinion! read more

Excellent espresso. I visited last Tuesday and loved my cappuccino so much that I had to visit the very next day as well. Had a cappuccino both times. I love how they offered two different types of espresso- I tried both the blend and their Colombian- both were excellent. I'd love to visit again if I am ever in the area! read more

We did an unreasonable amount of coffee sampling this trip and Three Pines really stood out. Had two killer espresso options that both outclassed what we have back home in DC. Only 4 bucks for clearly high end stuff. Barista was super chill and described the options in perfect relatable detail. Basically a high end espresso experience without the bougie pretense . read more

We love Three Pine Cones, and many others love it too. We've been in twice so far this year and my husband thinks they make the best cappuccinos. From the times we've been in, the little shop has been hustling and bustling with people and a few baristas. The baristas are friendly and efficient, and it's not overly loud. We've order cappuccinos, matcha lattes, and their spiced chai lattes; all of which are amazing. This last time, we even picked up a veggie hand pie, had it warmed up in their tiny toaster oven, and it was demolished in a mere minute or two. Super tasty. We'll be back again! read more

The place is cute and inviting but that's about it. The coffee we got was gross. We asked for extra ice, so it could be more ice and less milk. We got 5 ice cubes in each 12oz latte. We asked for a remake and the 2 baristas said it's not possible because that's how much ice goes into a 12oz. We asked again and we got 1 remade and it was the exact same thing. 5 ice cubes. This was a joke and we walked out of there not sure if it just happened. I've been a barista for 8 years and those baristas could have easily fixed our coffee. Will not come back. read more

A small, bright and modern coffee shop. The barista was very friendly and easy to talk to. We got a hot latte and a cold brew and really got nothing to complain. The latte was rich and smooth and the espresso was a pretty balanced one. The cold brew wasn't a strong taste one, either, in case you prefer sth with a lot of stronger or unique flavors. Overall, a good casual downtown coffee shop. read more
