The Red Moose Cafe

I walked 30 minutes to get here because I saw that they had vegan burritos and Sweet Hazel is closed on Wednesdays. I waited in line to order and was super excited, but they gave me a burrito with egg in it (I don’t eat egg and have a mild egg allergy), so I had to get a refund and go elsewhere. I will NOT be back! But honestly, given their health code violations I shouldn’t have came to begin with.

I stopped by The Red Moose Cafe for the first time after driving past it daily and seeing the parking lot usually full. I ordered the Uinta Breakfast and it just didn’t live up to the expectation. The bacon and potatoes were soggy, and the sausage was dry, easily the worst I’ve had in Utah. The cappuccino was actually good, but it came out way before the food because the bar and kitchen seemed out of sync. The place wasn’t even full, yet the wait for the meal was long. With so many better and faster options nearby, this visit was a disappointment. Maybe it’s just a spot that gets more attention for the hype than for the food.

My friend and i were RAVENOUS and this just hit every spot! Employees this morning were very complimentary and kind, and even though it was busy they were quick to finish our orders. We DEVOURED the bagel and I am a bagel connoisseur. It was toasted to utter perfection. Beautiful and cozy little cafe! Will be coming many more a morning!

This cozy little cafe (with a drive-thru for coffee!) has great service and an amazing chai mix. I’m a fan of a good dirty chai and, while there are quite a few decent ones in the Salt Lake metro area, this chai has won top billing for me!

The food was fresh and tasty. I ordered a burrito with bacon. They gave me the wrong thing. Yes I checked and my receipt actually said the correct thing. I did not return it because it tasted fine. Not sure what it was though. 🤪 The atmosphere was cool. They have scones.
