The Rose Establishment Coffee in Salt Lake

The Rose Establishment in downtown Salt Lake City

Reviewed by Becky
After hearing great things from my coffee-snob friends (including my husband), I ventured over to the newest coffee shop in Salt Lake, The Rose Establishment.  Coffee connoisseurs will agree that Salt Lake has less than a handful of places to get a great cup, if you are not looking for the sweet stuff.   And besides a really outstanding cup of coffee this cafe has a great location, right by the Gateway Mall in the old Big City Soup building, plus lots of comfortable seating if you’re looking to stay a while.
Rose Establishment and Four Barrel Coffee

The Rose Establishment is for those really looking for quality, no-frills-just-good coffee.   You might need to learn a few new coffee terms before entering this cafe, like ‘pour over’ (I had to ask the very gracious owner what it was).  But don’t worry too much if you are just entering the coffee scene, the folks at the Rose are very friendly and helpful if you are unsure of what to order.

Rose Establishment Pour Over Coffee
These little melitas are used to make individual pour-over coffees.
I went for it, and tried the pour over.  Very enjoyable.  You could definitely taste the flavors of the coffee instead of tasting what you’ve added to mask the actual coffee flavors.  They serve Four Barrel Coffee, which is roasted in San Francisco and well known around the West Coast.
I also spotted several sweet treats that looked worth coming back to try, like their sweet potato muffin, or scone selection.  They also have Vegan treats.
I’m loving all of the new establishments coming in to Salt Lake and providing our city with better food, coffee, and just enhancing our culture.  Thank you Rose Establishment!

  1. I have added this to my go to list when I am up that way! I love coffee and there are not too many places to satisfy that urge :) – love the pics!

  2. i am in love with the rose and even more in love with the metal table in your picture! i fell in love with it before i fell head over heels for the dirty chai! yum!

  3. I recently moved back to Salt Lake after living in Seattle a few years and happened upon The Rose. I couldn’t be happier. What drew me in first was the way this great space was restored and then second was the great ambiance. You can’t help but feel at home. So glad to see this great location and space turned into something so needed in our great Salt Lake community.

    • We LOVE the Rose too!! Definitely try the avocado toast for breakfast and the vegetarian chili during the winter months! And of course the coffee is stellar too
