Nice atmosphere, nice baristas, and nice layouts. It can get crowded during peak hours, and there were too many people each taking up a whole table for studying, which was annoying. Not the greatest place for a coffee date, but maybe good for trying to meet up new people.

My partner and I stopped by The People’s Coffee while we were in the city, and it was definitely worth it! The drinks and food were delicious (with a good amount of veg and vegan options), our server was friendly and amicable to requests, and the ambience was perfect. TPC is 100% worth a visit, whether you live in Central City or beyond!

The People's Coffee is a one-of-a-kind gem in Downtown SLC! Omar and his staff go above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. Whether you're looking to grab a quick to-go order, or sit down for a work/study sesh, you'll be glad you chose to come here. The coffee is excellent. I've ordered everything from Flat Whites to Matcha to Drip and it all comes out with exceptional quality. The food menu incorporates fun seasonal ingredients and the quality is consistently great as well. The surrounding community is really fortunate to have a small business that cares about enriching the social fabric of its neighborhood by hosting special events such as comedy shows, supporting local artists, and treating the unhoused with respect. Go with confidence and prepare to have your day brightened by interactions with staff and customers. Happy people hang out at The People's Coffee.

Extremely friendly team—everyone was warm and welcoming. I had a London Fog Tea that was interesting, worth the new experience. The cappuccino was rich and bold, just the way I like it. The bear claw pastry was fresh and delicious—flaky on the outside and soft inside. Great vibes all around.

8/10 iced mocha latte, had to get it half sweet which made it just right- good mocha flavor not too sweet. Could possibly add an extra espresso shot to it as well. Nice little coffee bar to sit and do work friendly staff

Best coffeeshop in slc. warm and inviting atmosphere. The space feels both cozy and contemporary, with lots of lighting, comfortable seating, relaxed vibe. Best part of it is the staff that truly make the experience memorable. Every interaction was friendly and genuine, smiles and positive energy. Their attentive service is one of a kind ! When was the last time you got a rose from a coffeeshop on Valentine’s Day ? All the coffee, and bite I’ve tried were great, weekly/monthly specials on both food and coffee. Overall, It’s a must visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy a great coffee, delicious bites, and a genuinely friendly environment to hang out, meet my people or study

Great coffee, friendly service. If you can stay awhile, the atmosphere is lovely. Wide views of the city streets and a calm interior with indie modern decor makes for a perfect little spot to sit and sip you drink or work with a change of scenery
