The AC is never not blasting, bring a coat. Summer or winter, the AC is on fully. It is unbearable and frustrating because this coffee shop is an awesome space to hang out, but it shouldnt be colder inside than outside when it is less than 50 degrees outside.

Chill vibe and good cold brew.

Magical panini creators, a truly delectable delicacy with the perfect ciabatta crunchiness, silky smooth egg and delicious pesto.

Nice little place. More seating available outside on patio or second area which offers out door seating in another shaded area. Nice flavor coffee. Every coffee place in Utah have different flavors, may be its just the way every coffee place brew. This place is worth a try. It is certainly a treat because I dont come here a lot, only when Im in the area.

Great local coffee shop with unbelievably low prices. Great coffee and service baristas are friendly and personable. Every time Im here it seems full of regular customers so they must be doing something right.

Higher Ground is a very tasty and unique coffee house in Salt Lake City with awesome ski town vibes. They have great coffee and plenty of choices on how to consume it. The vibe inside is a awesome little cozy spot for anything. Studying, music, or just meeting up. Defiantly a spot to check out if you have not already.

Thanks to the barista Journey ✨ she’s a kind soul

Decent spot for coffee to go or sit down (outside). Was a bit busy so it felt a little disorganized.

The barista was freaking hilarious and made a MEAN latte. Thats literally all you need to know. Do it. Dont wait. Just hit navigate. Right now.

Traveling through on a road trip doing my semester virtually. Thanks Covid. Really nice coffee shop. Sandwiches were really really good and cheap too!! Great view of the mountains and coffee was flavorful. Im definitely coming back. It is a little small so seating is limited, so be mindful of that.

Had fun with friends, and had a pleasant iced coffee.

So my drive through coffee place was out of order so I ventured Into the unknown and wound up at Higher Ground Coffee. The first thing I noticed was how many people had punch cards which shows me that the food and drinks ar good enough to have plenty of regulars. I loved the chai latte and was stunned by their egg sandwich. It was filling, tasty, and so worth the 5 min wait. I definitely got my moneys worth for two sandwiches and two large drinks. The staff are super nice to everyone and I didnt feel judgement for my slippers and outfit more fit for a drive through. I will definitely come back to try the other options.

Best coffee/espresso I’ve had in the city! It’s a cozy little cafe surrounded by big windows that have a great view of the mountains. Definitely check it out!

Stayed in Utah for a few days and this coffee shop was the best. The coffee is perfect temp and really good quality. Not too strong or weak. Also, the donuts are delicious. The staff is very nice and quick. Also, the Cumbra panini was amazing. Definitely a nice place to stop at or chill for a bit.

I love it! Amazing coffee options to pick from, friendly staff. This is my first time here and i got a bagel and an iced blueberry lavender latte, which is what Ivana recommended. She is awesome! She asked me what my coffee preferences are and how she could make it best for me, and she has the perfect vibes for this place! She is great! I highly recommend trying some coffee here!!

Really good coffee and friendly staff.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the valley. Very friendly staff & their coffee is spot on! Super cute & quaint atmosphere. Give them a try. #supportlocal #drinklocal

A very cute rustic cafe. We went on a weekday morning and there was just one worker, but it was steadily busy. Our food took about 15 minutes, which is understandable, but whats frustrating is that one of the bagels was wrong (it was supposed to be an asiago bagel, we received a jalapeno bagel -- big difference!). Oh well; we scraped off the jalepenos and made it work. The other bagel (The New Yorker) and the coffees were to die for. I cant wait to go back and give it a shot!** Support local small businesses!! **

Best coffee in town. They must keep their equipment rinsed and fresh.

Fast service, friendly staff, rustic atmosphere. Outdoor seating area for smokers and separate one for non-smokers.

Friendly folks. Great chai. Good vibes. Not much seating.

This place serves THE BEST COFFEE & SANDWICHES IN TOWN! The Alpenglow with bacon & pesto is my breakfast favorite & the La Sal is my favorite lunch item. They serve Rimini coffee, fresh from a local roaster downtown. Service has always been kind & friendly.

The staff like there job. You can tell because how trey treat the regular. Chill vibe.

Loved my latte and the food was great!

The coffee and sandwiches are delicious!

Great sandwiches, service, and coffee.

Great little coffee shop with a cozy seating area and friendly staff. They have a nice breakfast sandwich which you can customize as much as you want. Very tasty, and they pastries are good too, although the croissant was a little doughy instead of light and airy like a croissant should be, other than that i love to sit and read or socialize in this coffee shop.

Very good and very personable.

Great coffee! They made it exactly how I wanted it. The staff were super chill and friendly. The place is nice and clean, so - YAY for them. That counts for a lot!

I keep coming back hoping the next experience will be better. Its not. The coffee always is barely warm and tastes like it was brewed hours ago.

Great coffes... pastries..outdoor seating...And totally funky..puts Starbucks to shame..oh,very friendly employees

Excellent local coffee shop with friendly service. Good selection of pastries (made locally as well). Ive been by at different times of the day and the quality and service has always been great.

This is my favorite coffee shop in salt lake. The baristas are awesome! Ive never had a cup of coffee here that I didnt love.

Great coffee experience in salt lake. One of the coolest coffee shops in the valley. Great coffee, great prices, great service and nice area to read, study or work on a lap top.

Great iced vanilla Latte. Good coffee flavor. She even asked how sweet you want it which I appreciate. Most places go overboard on sweetness.

Wow, one of the coziest place to have a breakfast bagel.I went there and was a bit confused by the external setup. The external setup is very subtle but as soon as you step inside you are greeted with amazing decor and a cozy themed setup. The unique breakfast sandwiches are truly one of a kind and very tasty.There are also couches where you can relax for some good quality time and conversation.

They pull a damn good shot. Mountain views are epic 👌🏼

Great coffee, great service and atmosphere.

Great coffee, friendly atmosphere, lovely baristas. I come here nearly every morning very early to get my coffee and a bagel and its always delicious and reasonably priced. Im hooked!

Very nice and cozy cafe. Generally staffed by a single oerson, so the line can get backed up. Thus a good place to chill. Go to somewhere else if you need a dozen different lattes and bagels ASAP. I mean that in a good way. And remember to tip!

Its a cute little organic coffee shop. The people are friendly, and its clearly community oriented. The parking can be tough, though.

Good coffee, decent variety, price on cheap side. Casual atmosphere, seems fine place to relax. Not something for looks.

By far my favorite coffee shop! The shop is tiny but its so cozy. All the coffee flavors they offer are amazing and the staff is very helpful and patient. My favorite thing about them is their seasonal flavors, they create new flavors for every holiday/month so its fun to experiment. This is now the only shop we go to currently.

Surviving a week long visit to with some Mormon friend. I tried several of the coffee bar in the area this is my favorite.Coffee is awesome. I usually go for a latte made with half and half. They were happy to make it for me. The staff in general seems happy and helpful. I always enjoy a little morning cheer with my cup of coffee. They are happy to make it how you like it. The place has a kind of college dive feel to it.

Sandwiches are 5 bucks and they are all awesome. Pair it with kung fu coffee

Some of the best sandwiches! High quality ingredients for very reasonable prices. Superhuman fast staff, they are so attentive and working as if they are one mind. So impressed with them, usually 2-3 people working with a long line and they all make me feel like Im being taken care of even with how fast they have to move. Nitro coffee on tap is on point too!

Very cute little coffee shop.food is good! Coffee is good and service is good as well. Has a little outdoor seating area, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally went! The inside is way more cozy than it looks from the outside! The staff is nice remembered most of the people that walked in. The coffee is average but the staff and atmosphere make up for it.

This is the place I call my coffee shop. The baristas are amazing!! The coffee and other beverages are great; the food is great; the small neighborhood vibe is great! Our proximity to HG has even been a factor in moving for my husband and me... Its kind of our home away from home 😊.

Cool little shop with good coffee. I never have tried their fancier drinks but I love stopping for a simple cup of joe each day. Not too over powering and acidic like certain chains that are on every corner.

Higher Ground Coffee serves Grace coffee and kindness

Super good mocha! Best one since Ive moved to Utah! Yahoo!!

I got an americano and a Wasatch panini. The americano was good; flavorful but not too strong or burnt tasting. The panini was great! Will definitely come back for another.

Love it! 🐾 💕

Sandwiches are the bomb, coffee is ok

Neighborhood favorite! Great coffee and conversation, and an overall friendly vibe! Very much recommended!

Nice place! Easy to find and comfortable atmosphere. First time here, and the staff were very friendly. I got a 16oz Mocha Caramel Frap. Im glad to say it wasnt full of sugars, like Starbucks. Full flavored coffee with just the right amount of sweetness. I recommend for anyone looking for great coffee, not a sugar high.

Excellent wait staff, friendly and attentive. The biscuits and poblano gravy were tasty and the house made sausage was perfect. Dont even get me started about the yummy friend potatoes and onions.

Excellent sandwiches and coffee. Relaxing environment. Probably our new go to for quick eats. Try the new Yorker with bacon if you like bagels.

Cozy place. I am fairly regular here because they do a fantastic job. Great long time staff. Highly recommend 😀

Didnt look like much from the out side but my americano was delicious! And so cheap! Also tried a sandwich that was also inexpensive and delicious!

I’m from Dallas and there are so many big coffee shops so I really enjoyed the cozy, quiet atmosphere at Higher Ground.

The perfect weekend hangout. Also, they wont break your bank.

This is a cozy place to hang out and have a sandwich and delicious drinks... I like the outside patios as much as the inside part of the cafe... I have had some good chats with others that come there.

Dont order sushi at a Chinese restaurant and dont order a smoothie here. Cool vibe though.

Great coffee and friendly service.

Quick stop for coffee. Good first impression. Nice staff. Good coffee.

Great value, very nice ambiance and delicious coffee!

Always great service! Good coffee and food.

Great coffee, nice service and a comfortable place for me to wait for my brakes to get replace across the street at Jiffy Lube.

Simply the best place in town; the friendliest service, expertly crafted drinks, and unique and delicious sandwiches!

One of my favorite coffee shops. Love the vibes, really good coffee, and friendly staff. Great spot to sit and get some work done!

Ive been hitting this coffee shop for several years! Great, locally-owned business that serves great coffee, tasty sandwiches, and healthy snacks. The owners are both standup guys and their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Location is convenient and can be hit on the way to the slopes/mountains.

Cozy little coffee shop. I had their rooibos tea and enjoyed it. The interior feels very domestic, with a nice area with a pair of armchairs and a coffee table in the corner. Also love the idea of coffee been bags covering a portion of the ceiling.

This is a Salt Lake County classic coffee shop. Everybody is practically a regular and the coffee has always been good. They make so really awesome jalapeño bagels complete with jalapeño cream cheese, that are worth a visit alone. The shop is small, but that makes it surprising comfortable. Its a great place to people watch, read a book, or just have a conversation with friends.

Very very average coffee in my opinion. I would save your money!

Great local coffee shop with good sandwichs and goods.

Absolutely amazing coffee and extremely polite and quick service. Id recommend the Cabreezy sandwich, it was so delicious and filling. They have a wide verity of drinks from bottled kombucha to la croix to blended coffee. The girls working here really know their stuff and how to handle an influx of customers. This coffee shop is also pet friendly! Id highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone and everyone.

The coffee is some of the best I have had from a small coffee shop. The decor is perfect and quaint for the area it works well. I also love the tables because they remind me of wood cabin camping in Colorado.

Always great food and coffee. The service is warm, friendly, and efficient. Love the bagel sandwiches.

Great coffee if you are in Salt Lake. Not a ton of room on this inside, but I actually love the vibe here and have studies here quite a bit. Might not always be an open table, but I love the staff and the ambience here.

I love this coffee shop, its my favorite one next to Cafe on 1st. Its tied between the 2 haha

Really nice chill place to just kinda relax and have good coffee made right in front of you

Cute, slightly off-beat coffee shop. Good food and the coffee is good. Service was ok but not as friendly a expected.

Nice vibe! Good coffee! Always friendly staff.

East side coffee shop..BUT A GREAT VIEW

Small cozy shop offering indoor and outside seating. Take your time and stick around awhile.

Great little coffee shop with fantastic bagels and nitro cold brew

Very cozy place with great coffee, sandwiches and the staff is very friendly! Definitely will be back!

Great little space and very tasty paninis.

Its a really nice rustic pace and look

I ordered a latte with soy. If youre going to sit and chat with friends, you can get yours in a mug. The foam was perfect and the right temperature.

Nice atmosphere. The barista was really nice and the drip coffee was some of the best Ive had in the area. Another good coffee shop to add to the list.

Great patio, cool furniture and setup inside . Perfect spot to wait while your car gets fixed apparently!

Their medium roast is very good in this small and local coffee shop.

Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches before slopes

I have been going there over five years, great local coffee shop

The staff are so friendly and good service. Love the coffee shop environment inside.

Good coffee and espresso. Parking can be tight because people like to hang out and write their memoirs

Very quiet. Wonderful coffee.
