Millcreek Coffee Roasters

I’m always looking for nice coffee shops where I can get some work done without actually having to go into work, and this one is really good for that. Coffee is of course great, and they have really good breakfast food if you’re hungry.

Great place for coffee, and food (though it is a limited menu). Friendly staff. Plenty of times though, I have come here to wait 10 – 15 minutes to put in my order for coffee. The reason: food takes forever to make. They also open a bit later on the weekend, which forces me to have to go to a different place. This shop would be five stars if they opened earlier on Sundays and had a two batistas per shift to keep up with the volume of people and food orders.

Lovely 90s style coffee shop. I had a very good Guatemalan pour over and also bought some freshly roasted beans to take home. The service was nice. Wish they had vegan baked goods!

Good coffee, friendly staff, and a nice place to sit and hang out. In the summer, the espresso freeze is very refreshing. In the winter, the chai or a mocha.

Their espresso is simply the best! I can only drink great smooth non acidic espresso without milk products and sugar. Millcreek coffee is smooth!

This place is classy. The inside was huge and was a very relaxing atmosphere. Outside there were a few tables too. Good location. I had a macchiato and I didn’t like it but that wasn’t their fault. I just don’t like them.

Ok I LOVE great coffee and my favorite espresso. I’m not a coffee snob like some of these negative reviewers. This place has a very trendy and «we care» vibe. They offer good coffee and do grind and roast on site. For those who complain about the coffee being 2 weeks old (how old do you think the coffee is at other places that roast at factories and still have to ship and hold products?) Honestly folks this place is a treasure, I haven’t seen a coffee establishment like this since the last time I was in Seattle. If you visit salt lake you have to stop by or you are missing out.

I’ve already tried three of their bean varieties and have been pretty happy with them for the most part.
The Mexican was delicious. Had a full, rounded taste with some almost-​chocolates notes to it.
The Four Bean was also good, with distinctive flavor notes. It didn’t taste like «just» coffee– it (and the Mexican) had some variety to it.
The White Mountain is my least favorite and was a definite disappointment. It lacks the intensity of flavor that the other two have. Still better than some other coffees I’ve tried.
The coffee I got on my first two visits was *extremely* hot. Had to wait a while before I could even drink it safely. This last time is more instantly manageable.
Staff is pleasant enough, some more talkative than others. I don’t really need much from them though, so I’d say there’s little opportunity for me to assess the service appropriately or fairly– aside from, «yes, they did their jobs.» I go in, get the coffee, go out. Seems easy enough.

Had a cappuccino which was standard issue coffeehouse quality; as Dwight Schrute once said…“good not great”. Millcreek does have a range of 15 or so dispensers to get any quantity of beans to go. They stamp a «roasted date» on the description of each roast which was helpful. The espresso blend was full on Tuesday but I wasn’t ready to buy. Went two days later (before my flight home) and it appeared empty. I asked if they had any in back. The lady was kind to check and came back with a huge bag, cut it open and poured me beans roasted just hours before. Doesn’t get much better than that. Will stop by again next time in SLC. Oh, also bought a brick of the pink sea salt cacao that is milled next door. These could be used as auction items they are so rare. Another unique find that made the second visit worthwhile.

The vibe at Millcreek is pure «independent coffee house» of the sort you used to see in the 90s. (That is a compliment.) There are huge sacks of beans in the back, near the two enormous roasters. The staff are laid back and helpful.
The coffee here is lovely. Great for breakfast or an afternoon pick-​me-​up.

Nice place located near our hotel. Attentive staff, if a little distant. Fruit yogurt parfait is made while you wait, not made in advance and sitting in a display case forever like most places, so thumbs up there. Overall pleasant experience.

I’ll give Millcreek 2 stars for the coffee beans and their lattes, etc., but their service seems to be on the decline. Usually, the staff is very friendly and attentive, but there have been a couple of times in recent weeks where I wait at the counter and no one acknowledges that I’m even there. No «well be right with you» or «welcome to Millcreek, we’ll be with you in just a moment.» Today, I got fed up after waiting for 5 minutes without the staff acknowledging my existence so took my need for a latte elsewhere (they were consumed with eating and making their own sandwiches). If the poor customer service experience continues, I’ll be purchasing my coffee beans at an establishment other than Millcreek.

The coffee is fine. The place looks inviting. What I can’t get over, and it’s been 6 months since I’ve been there, is the bathroom. It was absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe they let people use it – employees shouldn’t even use it! Seriously, when I think back and recall that coffee house I visited in UT, what I remember is the bathroom. Hopefully, they read this and decide they’d rather be remembered for their coffee, treats, décor, anything but a filthy bathroom.

If you are looking for a place to study or relax in downtown Salt Lake, look no further than Millcreek Roasters. While their coffee is not one of my favorites in downtown, it’s still pretty good. What really makes this place is the inviting atmosphere, including lots of couches, and the huge selection of drinks and snacks. They also have fast, free wifi and a nice staff.

The food is good and the coffee even better. We came here every morning on our ski trip and my friend that doesn’t even drink coffee was drinking it.
