John and Yiching are the married couple behind the genius that is Caffe D'bolla. Amazing espresso (best in Utah) and one of the top siphon brewers in the country.

The sushi is okay (not bad, but not great). It's the happy hours that you want to get in on here. Between 5 and 6pm, it's half off most sushi rolls.

Coffee Noir

Not my first go-to, because I prefer the local spots, but it's on the way downtown if you're walking and want something warm in your hands. This Starbucks is always bustling, but the line goes fast.

Drinks & Nightlife
The upstairs is casual and cheap, but with good food (fish tacos!). The "secret" downstairs has amazing food and hand-crafted cocktails in a a cozy speakeasy-style environment. Recommend reservations.

SLC's only wine bar. They have something like 100+ wines by the glass and most if not all are stellar. Recommended by most local sommeliers as the go-to spot for tasting some delicious vino.

They recently remodeled this basement pub into more of a speakeasy style of bar. They also revamped the menu, but I haven't tried it. It's on my list to frequent again.

Everything Else
Jed's is a cool local barber shop. Definitely focuses on serving men more than it does women (at least as far as branding goes), but they do cut women's hair.
