Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Salt Lake Magazine. Updated July 2026.
Central 9th Market · Central Ninth
Central 9th Market works from a compact counter and griddle, turning house bread into substantial morning sandwiches. Soft scrambled eggs, crisp edged sausage and thoughtful sauces make the small menu feel complete rather than limited. The market setting and sunny patio keep the experience casual, even when the breakfast line stretches along the block.
Eggs In the City · Millcreek
Eggs In the City fills a converted gas station with the steady rhythm of a neighborhood breakfast room. Benedicts, biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos and cinnamon swirl pancakes cover both savory and sweet cravings. Counter seats and close tables suit a quick plate, while the broad menu gives groups enough range for an unhurried weekend meal.
Publik Kitchen · East Liberty Park
Publik Kitchen pairs a serious coffee program with breakfast plates that move well beyond pastries. Toasts arrive on sturdy bread with eggs, avocado or seasonal toppings, and the kitchen handles hashes and sandwiches with the same clean focus. The bright corner room works equally well for a quiet weekday breakfast or a longer conversation over another cup.
Roots Cafe · Millcreek
Roots Cafe gives familiar breakfast dishes a seasonal, produce minded turn without losing their comfort. The kitchen moves between savory scrambles, breakfast burritos and sweeter plates such as fruit driven French toast. A small dining room and shaded patio preserve the feel of a Millcreek neighborhood cafe, with portions substantial enough for the start of a long day.
Hub and Spoke Diner · Liberty Wells
Hub and Spoke Diner stretches the classic breakfast format with careful ingredients and a lively full service room. Pancakes, egg plates and Benedicts share space with Southern leaning dishes and house baked sweets. The broad menu welcomes mixed appetites, while the corner location and easygoing service make it feel grounded in the surrounding neighborhood rather than built around novelty.
