Publik Coffee Roasters is a standout, small-batch specialty roastery based in downtown Salt Lake City. Operating out of a lofty warehouse-style venue at 975 S West Temple (also with locations in the Avenues and near the University), they roast to order with an unwavering commitment to taste, waste reduction, and ethical sourcing—embracing the ethos “Community Over Corporate, Planet Over Profit”.

Their café environment is a hybrid space—part artisan coffee shop, part event venue—featuring high ceilings, two floors of seating, a mezzanine, and rentable conference rooms. It’s been praised as the “most hipster place in all of Salt Lake City,” ideal for remote work, casual meetups, or weekend creativity sessions. With fast Wi‑Fi, power outlets at nearly every table, and a Big Ass Fan, it’s tailored to be both functional and inspiring.

A highlight for many is their curated menu of coffee and toast. The roster includes seasonal single-origin roasts from places like Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Colombia, and popular house blends such as Central Ninth and Cabin. Signature drinkware—think bowls of velvety lattes—and rotating creative concoctions like cold-brew-infused mocktails offer guests something unique. Their toast menu ranges from classic cinnamon toast to gourmet options like goat cheese & jam and lox on peasant bread .

Beyond coffee and food, Publik hosts community events in its Publik Space—a 4,000 sq ft barrel-roofed venue ideal for workshops, markets, meetings, and social gatherings. This multifaceted offering, combined with 4.4–4.6★ ratings from locals and travelers, makes Publik Coffee Roasters a true destination for both high-end coffee and community engagement
