Having moved from SLC and subsequently lived in several major west coast cities (Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland), it's always surprised me that the cities recognized for their amazing coffee all have way less late-night coffee options than meek little Salt Lake. I haven't really been there in a decade so maybe that has changed, but they had several shops open til after midnight.
(Shout out to any of the folks who used to frequent Greenhouse Effect in the early aughts, before it got bought out and turned into a purely profit driven venture by Jimmy and his dad).
- ericjmorey 2y agoI'd guess that the drastically different laws and norms around alcohol explains this difference.
- seattle_spring 2y agoI'm sure that plays into it, though the laws really aren't all that weird anymore, and the same people that can't drink alcohol in Utah also tend to not drink caffeine.
