...i found myself in a part of town i rarely frequent with two hours to kill and a need for breakfast food. so i whipped out my smart phone and magicked myself some recommendations. i settled oncaffeniche. my first impressions of the place were less then ideal. not that anything was off per say, but the place was trendy to the point of almost off putting ...

caffe niche was good except for the food and the service. if the taste of the food and friendly, attentive service is not important to you, then i recommend going tocaffeniche.

we ordered the hash and a breakfast sandwich. the hash is said to be the most popular thing on the menu. there were only about 6 dishes in the menu.

the hash was light on corned beef, and bland. the eggs on the sandwich were over cooked. the bacon was so overcooked and tough we couldn't cut it with a knife.

rating – i would be willing to return tocaffeniche for lunch which they have nailed in prior experiences.

superb. dine here asap!. the food is eclectic, with unique combinations and variations on traditional themes. tastes are complex yet sublime. everything we tried was outstanding, including the sea scallops entree with forbidden black rice and asian slaw, honey lavender carrots (the lavender was trace - a hint more would be great), beets with goat cheese, grapefruit brûlée and tres leches dessert. we can't wait to go back. we love the paris zinc bar and cafe, butcaffeniche has taken its spot as our favorite casual yet upscale dining choice.

delicious, friendly service, nice ambiance. while i had one negative experience atcaffeniche awhile ago that had more to do with poor service than the quality of the food, my last few experiences there have been flawless. unique dishes, always just interesting enough without being too strange, and very friendly service.

itinerant musician. i recently provided music for a party atcaffeniche. wow! the staff was fantastic to work with, and the food. oh yes! best ever. i've played at some pretty swank affairs in deer valley, sandy and park city (and a zagat rated 5 stars in san diego). this experience was better in quality of food served and all around excellence of service.

lovecaffeniche. i lovecaffeniche. i go at least twice a week. the farmer market vegetable special is how i start every meal. i have learned to eat so many new vegetables that are prepared to perfection. i always order the fresh fish specials . it's the best fish in utah.
don't miss the rubin sandwich or the morning egg sandwich!

keep up the good work!!!!!

love niche. i lovecaffeniche. i have been to niche over and over and the meals are incredible. their shaved brussels sprouts are amazing even for those who don't normally eat brussels sprouts. they pay sharp attention to detail which is important when visiting a great restaurant. chocolate decadence is major. homemade pasta dishes with delectable sauces. love the prosciutto with asparagus. a must try for anyone looking for a wonderful new restaurant that holds its own and introduces incredible food and service in a great location in salt lake. accomplished and affable chef has a hands-on approach and is available to the guests to answer any questions or address the dishes. very cosmopolitan atmosphere. go!

lovecaffeniche. some new owners took over the restaurant at the beginning of june. the menu is greatly expanded and they now serve dinner tues-sat. i absolutely loved the food. the thai beef noodle salad was one of the best meals i've had at a restaurant in ages.
