My personaly philosphy on hot cocoa: if I'm not getting a reciped drink, why bother with anything else by water? But I objectivey have to say that this particular hot choc. is indeed superior.<BR/>5) Eggs in the City had a fire? Oh no. I hope they re-open soon since they are, in my view, the best brunch hangout in SLC. I just ate there the last week of July.<BR/>6) I concur fully. I only go there because of their bread, esp, their toasted wheat. <BR/>7) Sage's. Soba, yes! I beleiev I have sampled all of their dishes and my 'usualy' is the avocado/garden burger sandwich, the culinary name of which, of course, escapes me at the moment. But it's in the middle in the 'sandwiches' sections. Next time you're there, look it up, pls., and let me me know?<BR/>19) Really? I could have sworn it was deseret. Ah, double entendres. You start seeing them everywhere, I guess. And I do like this place even better than Red Rock. Better service, for sure, and better food.B.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00224691839509403692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751335156965060433.post-47172045569408860172007-08-09T18:08:00.000-04:002007-08-09T18:08:00.000-04:00my comments:2) cocoa cafeyou somehow overlooked th...my comments:<BR/><BR/>2) cocoa cafe<BR/>you somehow overlooked the most distinctive drink they offer: their italian hot chocolate. it's nearly as thick as pudding and not as sweet as most places' hot chocolates. closer to german kakao bitterness but much thicker.<BR/><BR/>4) salt lake roasting company<BR/>probably the best and most varied desert menu of the coffee shops listed.<BR/><BR/>5) eggs in the city<BR/>they recently had a fire and as far as i know are still closed pending rebuilding/relocation. oh, and maggie certainly is awesome!<BR/><BR/>6) avenues bakery<BR/>definitely the best bread in the city, if not the state or possibly some surrounding states. yes, it's that good. their blueberry muffins are also the best i've ever had in my life - i think the secret may be the possible inclusion of cornmeal in the mix. i lean toward the rosepark for breakfast, but i've had others and am always satisfied.<BR/><BR/>7) sage's<BR/>two words: SOBA SALAD! mmm...<BR/><BR/>8) himalayan kitchen<BR/>agreed as best indian downtown. i've heard better things about royal india in sandy, but so far i've only been to the newer one in bountiful, which is on par with himalayan kitchen.<BR/><BR/>10) red iguana<BR/>i've heard they recently made their beans vegan/vegetarian friendly, so i'm going to have to try this place out.<BR/><BR/>11) cafe trio<BR/>fyi: there's another trio in cottonwood. i'd also recommend going to the chocolatier next door. xocolate - http://www.xocolate.com<BR/><BR/>19) desert edge pub<BR/>deseret is a misnomer that could be quite enjoyable to use as a pub name given its religious implications in the city of salt. until recently students got half price pitchers after like 3pm or something. now i believe it's 25% off. besides this, i have not found them very accommodating to vegetarian diets: ie not allowing one to order the delicious sounding sides from a special that included meat and using lard in their beans and such. i also am more often than not less than impressed with the serving staff. in fact, i think the only time i didn't tip in my life was one time at desert edge. the appeal of the half price pitcher kept me going, but now that that's gone, so am i.<BR/><BR/>i think i'll follow this comment with my suggestions another time...Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107759452744321720noreply@blogger.com
