Hallowed Grounds Cafe & Gifts

If you’re a fan of just being at a nice building, it’s a nice place. The service is decent, but it might take two hours to get your coffee, even if there are only two souls in the entire building. In terms of quality, I didn’t like the latte, and the coconut coffee tasted like mildly mud water, It didn’t taste la nothing, hopefully wakes me up. If you order food, it will definitely take close to an eternity, but if time is not money for you, and you don’t care about quality, it might be a good place. I personally would never be back.

Interesting coffee shop inside a church. I wish they own the entire space rather than a stand. That would have made the place so much more interesting (as it feels a bit empty now). I was planning to get a cold brew but they ran out so I got an iced Americano instead. The coffee was good—I would give it 4/5 just because I find the coffee beans lack characters but they still made their shots properly. The staff were nice and ask if I want to get an additional shot if I found my coffee too weak. I will probably try it again, hopefully I can get a cold brew this time.

I was so excited to visit this restaurant, but I was extremely disappointed and therefore can't recommend it. We visited on a Saturday and had to pay $5 to park. The employee who took our order was pleasant but she missed one of our coffees, which the barista apparently heard and made an exasperated comment to the cashier. So we had a second charge for that coffee. Breakfast for two totaled over $65, including the requested 20% tip. After paying, I saw a plate of tiny macarons sitting out uncovered on the counter (they looked like samples but I wasn't sure), so I asked the barista how much they were and she totally snapped my head off and said she didn't know and would have to look in the system. I didn't think it was an unreasonable question but she was extremely rude and I told her not to bother. This unnecessarily rude attitude ruined the entire visit for me. The food took a long time to be ready (about 20 minutes) and we had to walk back up to the counter to get it. And even though we had asked for truffle sauce, we received Sriracha. The donut was mediocre. We also had to scrape our own plates and return those to the bin near the counter. So basically we ended up tipping 20% for absolutely zero service. I will never visit this establishment again even though the building looked pretty cool.

Honestly one of my most favorite spots I've tried in SLC! The service was probably the most outstanding part, the barista was incredibly friendly, and we had a quick but real conversation while she was making our order. …

The space is extremely unique for Salt Lake City. What makes it unique is not the Church that it’s housed in. What makes this place extraordinary is the owner and staff. The genuineness of the owner and pride and their craft is not seem often in Salt Lake City. The second we walked up to the counter, I felt welcomed and embraced. The food here is phenomenal. The breakfast. Sammy is out of this world and this strawberry doughnut is insanely good. Whether you are gluten-free or not, go get a Breakfast salmon and a doughnut it’ll make any day better. All I can say is thank you for the great hospitality And being just genuinely good people
