Farr’s Cafe & Creamery

It’s basically Yogurtland but ice cream. It was okay, nothing special with no real ambiance. Not sure I’d go back.

We went back tonight. Ice cream was yummy, service was friendly, tables and floors weren’t sticky, lobby and inside the parlor was warm and comfortable for devouring ice cream. 5 stars, again!

Ice cream scoop selection did not look appealing and some flavors were empty. No employee was at the Dexter dog/​ice cream scoop area to assist either. I had the self serve ice cream. Grabbed the 12oz cup and served myself various flavors. One thing I did like was there selection of add ons. Almost $ 7 for that cup.

Love, love, LOVE Farr’s Fresh! And Dexter’s Dogs is a smart and great addition too.
They have several varieties of ice cream, custard, & frozen yogurt to choose from. My absolute favorites are the Dole Pineapple, Cake Batter, Peeps, and several others! My friend loves the texture in the Coconut. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any flavor.
I also love how you can pick and choose your toppings. There’s so much variety and they are all great choices! And like their name suggests, it’s all fresh!
The Hot Dogs at Dexter’s are delicious. There are several combinations to choose from.
I give this place an A++. Drop by for a snack, dessert, lunch, dinner… Actually, anytime is a great time to drop by! :)

I love ice cream and I loved this place. There was a good selection of ice cream, and the worker let me sample the flavors for a good 5 minutes because there were too many good kinds for me to chose from. I was really impressed with how much ice cream you get for the price you pay. I mean this place really is a good deal. I tried a few of the frozen yogurts as well, and they were pretty good. I just like ice cream better so opted for that. But they have lots of different options! While the ice cream was good, it wasn’t anything amazing. I have high standards with ice cream. and this place satisfied me but did not totally blow me away.
The workers were so friendly and nice, and I had a really good experience. It wasn’t the best ice cream I have ever had, but it is the only ice cream in city creek and it does the job pretty darn well.

We almost didn’t visit this excellent shop after a quick glance at the overall Unilocal rating. But, the rating is skewed by … well, you should read for yourself and decide. Anyway, sometimes you just have to say «skew you» and add an extra star, so that’s what I’m doing.
If you’re in the area and not already full from Dolce, absolutely pay Farr’s a visit. It’s a small shop with everything you need to satisfy your ice cream desires. (They also serve some very tasty looking dogs.) Once you’ve loaded up your cone/​dish with a variety of toppings, you have a variety of seating options and plenty of places to stroll about in pursuit of stickiness.

The soft serve options were great for the kids. And the location across from Temple Square makes it a convenient place for the family. But they, like so many places these days, don’t have booster seats. Only high chairs, which are too small for a six year old.

3.5 stars with a little bump for the cool patio.
After battling crowds and the hot sun for hours on Pioneer Day, it was awesome to sit back in air conditioning watching the floats queue up from behind the floor to ceiling glass in the enclosed patio.
We ended up getting hard ice cream in waffle cones. It was all right. Nothing amazing but not bad either. The soft ice cream was leagues away better, but since I had eaten so many free samples I figured I’d try the hard ice cream. Next time I’m going Sugar Cookie soft ice cream all the way. Super creamy with a nicely balanced cookie flavor.

Best soft serve yogurts, ice creams and custards. You pick your portion and toppings. Good value compared to similar places. I loved the sugar cookie custard. Delicious! I will come back when in Utah.

I played it smart. I wanted hard ice cream but also yogurt. The place was busy with only one employee so I tried quite a few (all) of their fro yo flavors with the sample cups and their froyo is some of the creamiest froyo I’ve ever had.
I got 2 scoops of ice cream and ate it outside looking at the gates to Temple Square, all the time wishing I had bought froyo instead. The mint chip had small chocolate chunks and their peanut butter ice cream was on the bitter side.
I played it stupid. Please do yourself a favor, play it smart and go for their froyo, it’s super creamy and delicious.
And get this poor lady in there working the counter alone some help. You can’t sell dogs, froyo and ice cream with just one person here.

Interesting place. I came in expecting to see a old fashioned ice cream shop. Instead it looked more like a Yogurtland that also sells hot dogs. I almost walked out, but I decided to give them a chance.
All the ice cream was soft serve and self serve. Another thing that made this shop different was the kind of self serve ice cream they had. In addition to various ice cream flavors, they also had frozen yogurt, gelato, and frozen custard. I had never been to a place which served all of these options. So that was cool. I thought it was a bit expensive for 42 cents per ounce. So that was not cool.
I chose several flavors. One frozen custard flavor, one gelato flavor, and a couple of frozen yogurt flavors. No toppings added. It was okay. I probably did not choose the best combination.
I would return here again. The place was very clean. The employees were friendly and helpful. I just wish the place was a normal old fashioned ice cream shop. These soft serve places are not as good.

when i first walked in i was a bit surprised since one side was a self serve yogurt/​ice cream bar and the other side was hot dogs. however when i saw that they had pineapple dole whip i was sold and grabbed a cup to fill up. i’ve only seen pineapple dole whip in hawaii and at disneyworld (at magic kingdom and you can get it with pineapple juice which is AMAZING!) so i was excited to see that i could get in in salt lake and took a picture to send to my bf. yes that it how delicious this pineapple dole whip is — try it!
the set up is like yogurtland where you choose your yogurt/​ice cream, can add toppings, and pay for it by the weight. what’s different about this place though is that they also have ice cream in case you don’t feel like yogurt. i normally love ice cream, but the pineapple dole whip will be what i get here every time. but it’s nice to know i have the option of ice cream in case i become sick of pineapple (which i don’t expect to ever happen). i didn’t put any toppings on so i can’t comment on that, but they did have some fresh fruit (strawberries, pineapples, and kiwis).
it was reasonably priced (i filled my small cup almost halfway and it was $ 1.95) and the service was excellent. two different employees came by to ask how our dessert was, another came by to clean up for us, and another employee stopped to ask for any feedback. i discovered that they will change some flavors out on a monthly basis, but will have some staples including the pineapple dole whip. yay!
by now everyone is probably sick of me talking about the pineapple dole whip =P i was very happy with this place and will be stopping by each time i’m downtown!

The husband and I stopped here for dinner one evening. I thought, for some reason, that they had burgers. I was wrong. We got a BLT to split. It came out to be like $ 15 for one sandwich and one soda. Seemed pricey for a teensie sandwich and drink. We ended up heading to Harmon’s to buy food for dinner since we left hungry.
We haven’t tried their frozen yogurts, but have heard great things about them.

Take a yogurt shop then mix it together with a sandwhich/​salad shop and you’ve Farr’s Café & Creamery. It’s got sandwhiches, salads, yogurts, and cookies. Great location being at city creek center and fun seating enclosure. Great for lunch and for a date night desert stop.

Yogurt isn’t really an extravegant dessert, but usually, hits the spot (even when its 33 degrees outside) and usually makes your buck bang-​worthy.
Farr’s isnt anything special, when it comes to yogurt. Its like every other place I have been to, but one amazing thing — They had Dole Whips… Which, I have never seen outside of Hawaii — so points for that. Typical toppings are available from your reeces pieces, crumbled up gram-​crackers and such. My favorite? a simplistic healthy covering of peanut butter cups over caramel flavored yogurt. Bam!

I’ve only stopped in for dessert… a frozen yogurt cup on-the-go…but I liked Farr’s. It is your typical self-​serve-​top-​it-​off-​until-​you-​have-​a-​$ 10-​frozen-​dessert place BUT they have a decent selection of flavors and toppings, including some non-​dairy choices. They even keep a few common varieties for those of us who grew up on vanilla and chocolate. :-)
What makes this place stand out is the selection of toppings. The fruit (my fav) is fresh and they have a nice variety. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the place and the friendliness of the staff. I will definitely return.

Yummy salads and ice cream. They have multiple items you can mix into your salad for one price. (I bet this will change). Super nice staff and great location. It’s a great spot to grab a bit to eat that isn’t the typical food court fan fare.
Will be back. Make sure to check out their VERY cool fountain drink machine.
