First off, I adore all Caputo's locations. What's not to love? It's pretty much all of my favorite things in one place: specialty chocolate, nougat, and other treats, all sorts of salts, artisan condiments like mustard, olive oil, and vinegars, crazy sounding bitters and drink mixers you never even knew existed, cheeses of all sorts, glorious cured meats, fresh breads from local bakeries, and basically any fancy food you could desire, with a focus on Italian goods. This one is much smaller than both the downtown and Holladay shops, but I won't hold that against them. They still have a decent selection of products, just less variety.
I always recommend checking their small sale section whenever you stop by. I stock up on my chocolate there before shopping the regular priced stuff. I haven't dined in too often, and never at this location, but what I have tried of their sandwiches and other deli offerings has always been delicious. I love their antipasto salad (a mix of leftover cheeses and salamis with some pickled vegetables and olive oil). Indoor seating here is kind of meh, but outdoors is fun, as it affords a view of the charming 15th and 15th area.
On my most recent visit I picked up five chocolate bars (not joking), a few of their Chocolatier Bleu chocolates (fig and chabrin, cantaloupe and bacon, honey and parmesan, and Double Skull Taleggio & wine), and red pepper vinegar. I also had some prosciutto sliced, and they took the time to wrap it carefully (and really quite attractively, which seems inconsequential, but did add to my enjoyment).
Customer service is pretty good here. Of all the locations it is best at Holladay. They are so dang friendly there! At this one they mostly just left me to my own devices. No one greeted me, and that's okay, although I do appreciate it when employees make a point of saying, "Hi." When I requested assistance they were quick to help, though, and that's really all I ask.
There is a bit of parking available along the street, and a surprising amount behind the little group of shops. You might struggle to find a spot during meal or busy times, but I've never experienced an issue.
