From the Ground Up

from the ground up takes its coffee seriously, and the regulars on 300 south know it. this isn't a place that spreads itself thin trying to cover every trend, it's focused, and that focus shows in what ends up in your cup. salt lake city has a growing specialty scene, but spots with this kind of consistent word-of-mouth tend to hold their ground for a reason: people come back. not because it's convenient, not because the branding is sharp, but because the coffee delivers on what it promises, visit after visit. you get the sense that the standard here doesn't slip on a slow tuesday. find yourself there on a weekday morning, somewhere along east 300 south, and order whatever's pulling espresso that day.
