801 Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

Very stylish new coffee shop with a pool table for patrons to play on. The coffee is well prepared and beans are roasted in house. Every detail of this little shop is fine tuned to be pleasing to the eye. The decor and back counter are functionally minimalist giving 801 an instant feeling of cleanliness rather than austerity. Loved the granulated hand soap dispensers in the touch free restrooms (reminded me of primary school 4 decades ago). Nice touches of live plants and a glass enclosed roasting area with a gorgeous new probat drum roaster. My cap was delicious but I found the single shot of espresso a bit over pulled and bitter with an unappetizing tiny amount of too dark brown crema. Great staff and props for using Vosens for the baked goods. Pool table is terribly lit with no shade on the light casting a horror blinding glare into the players eyes which makes playing on the black felt a lesson in humility if you want to shoot the 8 in a corner pocket. Also brownie points for only having 2 syrups (both made in house). Prices are reasonable for hand crafted coffee. And reader beware... I am impossible to please when it comes to coffee so take my critique with a large grain of salt. I'm sure you will be tickled pink by the espresso if anyone but me ever orders it. Also, great soft jazz sets wonderful ambiance for shooting some billiards pretending to be Fast...

When was the last time an iced latte gave you a Michelin star culinary experience? Doesn’t happen too often for me, I tell you what!

Good god. These folks know what they’re doing. I ordered a latte with Parmesan syrup and nutmeg because I like to try weird things; most coffee shops TRY to do weird drinks and they’re rarely good - take it from me. However… when I tell you that I audibly gasped at the superb flavor palette contained in this little 16 oz plastic cup… Truly, phenomenally delicious. I don’t even want to drink the whole thing because it’s so good. It must be preserved in the latte hall of fame.

I might become like Plankton, trying to sneak into the Krusty Krab, to get the secret recipe for this Parmesan syrup. Watch out, 801 Coffee Roasters.

(P.s. I walked home and drank this latte in my backyard and even my cat wanted...

Went for the 1st time and LOVE that they are opened at 6am! For someone who has to be at work by 6:30am there are few options other than chain companies to go to. I actually don't drink coffee so I can't attest to this but I got a limeaid (its normally sparkling, but I got it flat), it was OK not worth the 5$. I also got the sausage roll which was tasty and warm. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was chill. I'll definitely be going back for more pastries and once the weather is cold for some...
