Oasis Cafe

My friends and I came here for brunch and the food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was lovely and spacious. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio on a nice day. The reason I give it 4 stars is because the service was very slow and the coffee could have been much better. Other than that, the food is definitely worth coming back for.

Absolutely love this cafe! The food was delicious, friendly service, good drinks, and the ambiance is perfect with cozy indoor seating and a beautiful patio that’s great for relaxing. The attached bookstore is such a charming bonus; it’s a perfect spot to grab lunch. Been going here for years, and it’s never disappointed.

Consistently good in terms of service and food quality. They have both an indoor and outdoor dining. Great for small or large group. Wide selections in kids menu as well. We're very satisfied everytime - keep it up you guys!

I was in the mood for atmosphere on the patio . After googling something for the area of salt lake this popped up. The menu looked promising and it sure was. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the shade and a few drinks. The food was great! My mojito could have been stronger but hey Utah laws ?

I am giving this place five stars for being in Salt Lake City for so long, it is in a beautiful building, with outdoor seating, free parking, it is not only a cafe, but is home to the Golden Braid Bookstore as well. The Golden Braid Bookstore started out in a tiny shop that I frequented often. I am so happy they were able to expand and be in the heart of Salt Lake City. The Oasis Cafe has plenty of options and lots of seating. I personally prefer lunch, but breakfast is good too.

Nice little place. We had breakfast on the patio. Beautiful morning to enjoy breakfast outside. I had the potato veggie hash, with an amazing hickory smoked tomato sauce. It was incredible, really great. And just to keep my cred as a practicing carnivore I got a side of bacon. Well worth the trip.

Derrek hands down is the reason we will be going back! Yesterday was our first time there, and my expectations were blown out of the water! He was friendly, joker, answered questions, and allowed myself to feel comfortable taking the time needed to order. The atmosphere is a but busy, but it's welcoming. Make sure to allow yourself time to sit and wait for your table. ( Order a coffee while you wait). They have a decent size parking lot, but weekends are busy, so make sure to look out for a spot. The bookstore attached is amazing! This place is a place for everyone to feel welcome and I 100% will be coming back.

We had a quick stop over at Salt Lake City and this place came highly recommend. We loved it all. Service was calm and efficient. Atmosphere was relaxing, everything was nice and clean. Food was great. 5 stars, we will come back next time we are in town.

We always enjoy breakfast at Oasis Café, and this visit was no exception! We started with a refreshing San Pellegrino and a V8, setting the tone for a great meal. I had the Lux Salmon Crustinis with a side of poached eggs, and everything was perfectly prepared. My other half went with the Oasis Omelette, and the potatoes were absolutely delicious--crispy and seasoned just right. The service was friendly and efficient, and even though there was a wait for breakfast, we had a reservation and were seated immediately. We've also been here for dinner, and everything we've tried has been consistently fantastic. If you're planning to visit, make a reservation--it's a popular spot for a reason! We'll definitely be back.

I get lunch to-go every couple of months. I either get the breakfast sandwich or the oasis breakfast. The sandwich is with a croissant and it's always so buttery and flakey. It comes with a side of breakfast potatoes and those are always perfectly roasted. The oasis breakfast comes with eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes, and toast. Both are a great size for what you pay. You'll get a lovely coffee smell in the early mornings. The dining area has great natural light as it's surrounded by windows. They also have two lovely patios. Service is always great. They are friendly and thoughtful. Golden Braid Books is connected to the waiting area and is a nice place to look around in while waiting for your food. There's books, cards, and other fun novelties for purchase.

I love the bookstore, Golden Braid Books, attached to this cafe. The vibes here are really nice, it's very new-agey/hippy/crystal shop. The food selection here is good, big and small options, lots of gluten-free stuff, healthy options with upscale flavor combos. Real goat cheese and arugula type fare. There's also a great drink selection here, the beverage menu is longer than the food menu. There's an entire alcohol menu that even includes cocktails; my most recent discovery is the Dizzy Gillespe made with local kombucha and basil - so good! My one gripe that continually plagues Oasis brunch visits is the extremely slow service. Somehow my party always manages to get sat with a slow waiter, and we watch in frustration as tables sat after us are served food while we wait for our drink order to be taken. This definitely takes some stars out of it for me, if this didn't happen so frequently I think I'd eat here a lot more. Overall good and worth a try!

Been dying to try this place for awhile now. Stumbled upon it walking downtown and thought it was the cutest place. It has a little book store/shop connected to it with all sorts of cool candles, soaps, books, and other trinkets. The actual cafe was nice and had a good, cozy vibe. It is busy in the mornings, so make reservations. My boyfriend and I each got a coffee, which was huge! Very good coffee. We also split a coffee cake and both were obsessed! Doesn't look like much, but it had the best flavor. We also both got a breakfast sandwich that came with potatoes. So good!! Will for sure be back!

Heard the margaritas here were way better than any cafe had any business making, so I had to check it out. I was also in the mood for something light, so I went with the beet tower, and it might just be my favorite beet salad dish I've ever had. So good! My partner wanted a beer, and since it's technically a restaurant, the waitstaff had an easy solution: the day-old 50-cent pastries, which were still fresh and surprisingly tasty. The curtained-walled patio felt warmer than the inside, and it was actively snowing, which made it even more cozy and charming. Definitely coming back but it will be hard to convince me to order anything but that beet tower again.

This brunch spot is a classic staple in the area, especially for book lovers, as it's right next to a charming little bookstore! The location is easy to access with great parking options, either on the street or in a lot behind the building. It is always busy. I'd been here for dinner and lunch several times, but this was my first time trying their brunch, and it was fantastic. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with potatoes--the sandwich was delicious, with a fresh croissant that held up well with the egg, cheese, and bacon. The potatoes were a bit much in portion, but still good. We also tried the huevos rancheros, which was a hearty dish packed with flavor, and the German pancake, which surprised me--it was more like a cake with a blueberry topping rather than the traditional German style I expected, but it still tasted great. This place is a solid choice for brunch, with lots of options to suit any taste. Whether you're coming with a big group or just looking for a classic brunch option, I'd highly recommend stopping by!

I recently visited Oasis Cafe again, craving a breakfast burrito, and while I was excited, my experience fell short this time. First, I appreciate the free parking--it's definitely a plus. I arrived around 1:30 PM and was informed there would be a 30-minute wait for a table for one. I didn't mind waiting and spent some time at the nearby bookstore, which helped pass the time. When I finally got seated, the host seemed a bit grumpy and unwelcoming. However, my waitress was kind, and my food came out quickly--about 10 minutes after ordering. Unfortunately, the breakfast burrito didn't meet my expectations. It was way too wet and soggy, making it difficult to pick up; I ended up needing a knife and fork. The spices just didn't hit the mark for me, and I only managed to finish half. I also ordered a tea that came with a side of lemon and honey, but the lemon was dry and lacking juice, making it unappetizing. I wish my waitress had checked in on me; it would have been nice to share my feedback right away. I know Oasis Cafe can do better. I've enjoyed it in the past, but this visit was disappointing.

Great food and a fun experience. Comfortable and funky setting. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere

Great spot for brunch. Beautiful atmosphere. When it's nice enough to eat outside, you simply must.

This is a cute little place that offers many vegan options. Everything was really good with awesome service and good drinks. We recommend ordering the hummus plate. It is one of the tastiest hummus' we have had.

I went to Oasis Café years ago on a date, but I haven't been back since & I've been wanting to check it out for both breakfast & dinner. I was able to go check it out for breakfast with a friend this week. She made us reservations which we ended up not needing but I was glad she made them because you just never know. She ordered the Oasis omelet. She really liked it & the breakfast potatoes looked so good! We actually had another table comment on how great they looked as well. I ordered a vanilla latte & breakfast burrito. I loved the vanilla latte, it wasn't too sweet at all. The breakfast burrito was huge! I couldn't finish this. It was full of rice, beans, mushrooms, & peppers. I loved the sour cream & guac on the side. The sauce on top had really good flavor as well, but not spicy. I always get a little worried with sauce that covers the entire meal because if it's too spicy for me I won't be able to eat it. Service was great. It's the cutest little place & I loved that they had free parking. The parking lot was pretty small though, so don't be surprised if you have to park on the street. It was lightly snowing when I went as well which set such a great ambiance for brunch. Would definitely go back & I'm looking forward to trying dinner here!

Went here with a group of coworkers. I loved the cafe ambiance and noted that they offer brunch & dinner. Some of their baked goods looked great on display but we went for dinner. It wasn't too crowded but for some reason the service was a bit slow as it took a while for her to take our drink orders and also bring them out (which were very staggered). Parking here is a plus. They have their own parking lot which is extremely helpful for a group of people to meet here for dinner. Food was good too. We order for appetizers the Tasting Plate (I wasn't a huge fan) and crab cakes (pretty good and I loved the mango salad). For my main entree, I got the salmon and it was very tasty! My coworkers got the special which was a medallion filet and seemed to enjoy it. For dessert, we got the chocolate cake and creme brulee. To me the chocolate cake seemed too dry. But the portions for the cake and creme brulee I thought were fair. I would go again and try more items on their menu!

Came here on a whim and left underwhelmed. The Oasis Cafe is a place I wanted to liked but simply couldn't. My criteria for a good breakfast place starts with the coffee and Oasis Cafe has the watered down variety. The second of my criteria is the quality of the eggs, since eggs are a prominent ingredient in most breakfast dishes. The over easy eggs I had were solid, but the eggs in the kid's breakfast as well as the eggs in the breakfast sandwich appear to be the pre-mixed plastic bag kind you might find at a fast food joint. The bacon was good and the potatoes above average. As for the breakfast sandwich it does not compare to the croissant sandwich you can get at Eva's Bakery, but it is serviceable. The red onion is cut thick and the rawness of it can overpower the sandwich. The third of my criteria is the attentiveness of the service. The service was friendly but not sufficiently attentive. An empty coffee mug at a breakfast restaurant is a cardinal sin! The menu itself is quite short and while I generally appreciate places with small menus as it is a sign of their commitment to excellence, Oasis Cafe should consider expanding the menu. There are far better options in the area for breakfast & brunch, but for a large group this may be a decent option.

We arrived on a Friday and there was no wait. We were offered inside or outside, we opted for outside. Our waiter was Wyatt and extremely.prompt and pleasant. The food was delicious and bacon was cooked perfectly. I frequent here regularly and I haven't been disappointed!

This is a really adorable café. There's outdoor seating. There's indoor seating. It doesn't look very big from the outside but trust me it's much bigger once you go inside. Also, because you went up to park you have to go down a bunch of stairs when you get inside to get down into the café so if stairs are not something you're good with you may want to consider parking on the street. I think that is an option because I didn't see any elevator and I would've taken. It had I known an existence. Those stairs are straight down and if you get vertigo like I do going down stairs-take your time. I did have a little bit of trouble with the parking. I am not familiar with the area so I didn't realize you had to actually go up the ramp so if you're not from the area to get to the parking, you go up the ramp. I was meeting a friend and her husband for breakfast so we did stay there for quite a while. We never felt rushed or like we were taking up too much space. We also made sure that there were tables available and we weren't overstay our welcome and we tipped accordingly for staying as long as we did . Had an iced vanilla latte, which was really good . I ordered a side of scrambled eggs with with cheese and those were done perfectly I don't like them runny or anything like that or mushy and these were cooked perfectly. I also ordered a side of berries. I asked what kind of berries came in the dish and I was told strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, but I did not get any raspberries and for four dollars the fruit that I got wasn't worth it. I understand that fruit is "expensive" but four dollars for essentially what came out to be maybe three strawberries if I'm lucky and some blueberries is ridiculous. The oatmeal was awful. It really wasn't good. It tasted so bland and maybe I didn't have enough brown sugar or raisins, but it tasted almost salty. Honestly, I would give this place a three but my friends who were with me both cleaned their plates and love their food so I think it was just maybe a one off thing or maybe I didn't order the right thing.,

I met my cousin here for lunch. It was the first cold day so Soup and a Grilled Cheese sounded divine. We both ordered that and the Soup of the Day was Corn Chowder. It was delicious but arrived lukewarm. The Grilled cheese was like a cold sandwich with melted cheese. Not the crispy melty one we were both desiring. We told our Waitress that we wanted to start over. She then asked me how to make a grilled cheese? I seriously thought I was getting Punked. Don't you learn to make Grilled Cheese in 4th grade? She was clearly offended as was I. I have only ever sent back food twice in my life. This was the second over something so simple! Maybe cooking a Grilled Cheese was beneath them but it was on their menu. I won't be back I don't get the hype and I guess I'll never find out!

My friend and I decided to go here for lunch after doing a hike nearby in the Avenues. I ordered the republic chai and their grilled cheese with the soup of the day. The chai was huge and a great deal at $5. It also tasted delicious. The grilled cheese was nothing special but I did enjoy their soup of the day which was a beef and vegetable soup. It was a perfect meal for a cold and snowy day. There is a bookstore on the same level as the cafe and if you buy something at the bookstore, there's a discount for the cafe on the receipt (though I think only for dinner service). Free parking available on the second level.

Popped in for a coffee during an afternoon walk. We both got the cold brew which was excellent -- worth a second cup. We also had a giant chocolate chip cookie, which was perfectly chewy and delicious. Nice counter service, friendly staff. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a break from the sun and nice conversation. I would definitely come back for a meal.

We went for breakfast and the food is exceptional! The only complaint is no alcohol until after 11:30 so no Bloody Mary with your breakfast but that's a state issue not the restaurants fault! If you are planning on going for a boozy brunch go after 12

The chicken was tender and the guacamole was delicious. The corn in the quinoa wasn't my favorite. Our waitress was really abrupt with us as well. I'd go again though.

Very unique place. Breakfast, brunch, and lunch. We had brunch at 10 am, the food was fresh and tasted good. We sat outside on the patio on a beautiful day. Service was okay.

Lovely spot for grabbing breakfast. They have a lot of vegetarian friendly options plus being able to substitute. There's a lovely book store next to the restaurant/cafe to look around while you wait. Along with a coffee bar to get coffee before sitting down. The food is great and has some earthly tastes to it.

Went here for dinner, the service was wonderful. They have a cafe deli area and indoor and outdoor seating. Appears to be an old restaurant but it's nice. Just wasn't wowed by the main course. The table bread was amazing as was the tasting plate appetizer. The chicken breast special was just ok and the beef medallion was also just ok. The beef had no seasoning but salt and it appeared to be fried/seared, not grilled. The chicken on the other hand was grilled but the flavor was just not there. And both dishes we thought were very small in portion and for what you're paying for. Definitely don't go there if you're super hungry. Overall the main courses looked like they were full of flavor and were beautiful but we found them to be bland and portions were small.

I loved the ambiance of this place! Right next to the Golden Braid Bookstore, I enjoyed browsing luxurious essential oil products and an interesting collection of spiritual, wellness and fiction books afterwards. The menu was imaginative, created with whole foods and bountiful on vegetables and healthy salads. There is a full bar and outdoor area. The grilled salmon with honey lavender polenta and roasted tomatoes was my choice after some good advice from the friendly server. A great place for healthy eating and an uplifting atmosphere.

The Mediterranean salad rocks my world. It's my go-to brunch, lunch, or dinner when I come to Oasis. I also really enjoy their lattes and kombucha. And lastly, their patio seating feels like home.

My favorite restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah. Great service, food and ambiance. It's my go to. I also highly recommend the Golden Braid Bookstore which is attached to this fine establishment!

This place it's a good breakfast spot as is close to my home. This time I tried Huevos Rancheros with Salmon chorizo. The German pancake wasn't that great as I aspected, it says to order 15min ahead on time and it got within 2min, it wasn't and it was hard around.

Got seated in their patio / porch, which was well heated (but it wasn't terribly cold outside). My husband had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and I went with Vegetable Grain Burger that also came with a side of Spinach salad with orange. It was delicious. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I also had the Coconut Pu-Erh tea that wasn't bad either. Service was fine, the restaurant was crowded so the server was managing the patio and the indoors so it was a bit slower. But nothing I was unhappy with. Nice place. I like to visit when I am in town.

I searched for restaurants near my hotel on the Yelp app and Oasis Café came up. Once I saw the photos of the smoked salmon, my decision was made. The Uber driver that dropped me off said Oasis is one of her favorite places so I was excited to try it out. When I walked in, I wasn't sure if it was counter or full service. A lady who was in front of me was helped, and then I stood there for a minute, before asking an employee what the set up was. She explained that it is full service and said she would get me seated. She ended up being my server (Misty) and she was nice. I ordered the Salmon Lox Crostini and it did not disappoint! It had a nice contrast of textures and flavors. The capers were yummy. I loved the crunchiness of the baguette crisps and the creaminess of the Boursin cheese. The smoked salmon with the onion, tomato, and greens were just delicious! It had a nice balance of salty and savory. I could have easily eaten two plates, but I refrained. I considered getting a bakery item to go, but Misty brought out the check without asking me if I wanted anything else, so I didn't bother. It's starting to become a pet peeve for me when a server just brings out the check and doesn't ask if I would like anything else. It can feel like you're being rushed and it's a missed opportunity for an up-sale. Despite that, the service was good and the food was great!

Memorial weekend and finally decided to try the Oasis cafe. I have heard good things and have been looking for an excuse to eat here for awhile, a long weekend and day off was that excuse. The wait wasn't too bad, about 30 minutes where we spent most of the time at the cute little adjacent book store. Once seated our server was a little slow arriving but not bad, we had to coax some answers from him at times but not everyone is as extroverted as others. We ordered the Oasis Omelet and the Toasted Brie sandwich and a side of bacon. Oasis omelet was good with nice fresh ingredients and I really liked the ramekin of salsa they brought with it. 4/5 Toasted Brie sandwich was really good, the Brie cheese was so smooth and matched so well with the cranberry walnut bread. This was my favorite. 5/5 Side of bacon, really thin and too crispy 2/5.

One of my favorite restaurants in SLC. The ambiance, service and food are all top notch. The Beet Tower is amazingly good.

I got the scrambled eggs, it was good, the cream cheese took me a minute to get comfortable with. I probably wouldn't get it again but the croissant was so damn good i would get that a million times again and come back JUST for the croissant. Our server was nice and kept our waters filled. The restaurant itself is so cute and i love the overall vibes and the shop connected to it. I love the indoor outdoor, however the place smelled like grease so bad i saw the smoke when i walked in, and left smelling like greasy meat, even though i didn't get any.

All around incredible! Delicious, quality food and drink at unbeatable prices. The patio is lovely in the summer and the book store next door is always pleasant to stroll through.

Their chai is amazing. I always have a great time coming here with family. Servers are extremely nice and welcoming and quick. Breakfast burrito is my favorite on the menu, filling. We always tend to go through the bookshop that's right next to it afterwards!

Service was quick and breakfast was delicious! The German pancake is enough for two people so I'd definitely recommend splitting with someone or saving for later. The menu isn't the biggest but after trying my plate and tasting some from my friends I'm confident you can't go wrong with what you choose. If you can sit outside take advantage as it's very nicely shaded and tables are seated far enough from each other to still have privacy. If I find myself in salt lake in the future I will definitely be stopping back here

Oasis has been a neighborhood standout near the lower avenues for decades. There is nothing like it for a spiritually healthy, granola, hippy elevated vibe. Attached to Goldenbraid book store and with indoor and outdoor patios, cool music, GREAT simple, interesting food. It's always calming, interesting, and soulfully satisfying to go there. Try the pancake and the hot chocolate. You'll be glad you did! Def get reservations or you'll wait an hour because everyone wants to be there.

This is one of my favorite places to have a chai. The last time I went, it was much busier than normal. This makes me really happy for local businesses, but I wouldn't recommend having an important lunch meeting over food here.

This spot is a SLC legend. I lived across the street 20+ years ago and it was excellent then. I'm pleased to say it's still excellent. The menu is creative without being twee. And the food quality is excellent, and was good value. I had a curried veggie wrap the was loaded with sautéed veggies and tofu and absolutely delicious. My husband had a veggie burger, also delicious. (They have plenty of meat dishes, too). The service was friendly and professional, and the space is so pleasant--thought had gone into every detail in order to make it vibe with the very special Golden Braid Bookstore (specializes in books and gifts on healing. Tarot, etc.), which shares the building and a pleasant courtyard. Happy to return anytime.

Went to visit Utah for the July 4th weekend. Came here for breakfast and the interior was nice to vibe in. For a Monday morning there was an awful a lot of servers compared to actual customers eating. But the servers were genuine and nice. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was good not great except for the side potatoes as they were pretty bland and hard. My wife would also say the same about her breakfast (Egg Yolk is of low quality). I saw "German Buttermilk Pancake" and had to try it out. They were "Okay". The restaurant had good vibes and great service. The foods look great in picture but bland once trying it out. If you are in the area sure go ahead try it out it may be different for you.

Even though it was the dead of winter, I found the Oasis in this lovely little café. From the outside, it's a little nondescript and easy to overlook. But once inside, you're taken to another place. I was greeted by Marty, who was also our server for the meal. He was very pleasant and made wonderful suggestions-one of which was artichoke soup. I'd never had such a thing and wanted to give it a try. As promised, it was fantastic. The fish special was also very good-cooked perfectly and the orzo pasta made the dish. The portion was generous and I had plenty to take home to heat up the next day. I love the vibe of this restaurant-it feels like a place that I'd bring a good book (from the bookstore nearby) or my laptop and settle in for awhile. Service is very welcoming and friendly-I look forward to returning.

Delicious!! Ordered the buttermilk pancake and oasis omelette. Potatoes with the oasis omelette were the perfect crispness. The pancake was HUGE. It really is a PAN CAKE. Tasted great. Service was very welcoming, patient, and kind. Atmosphere was really cute with the bookstore next door.

Everything was great. Tuna steak sandwhich was 10/10. Rae is the best server at Oasis, no doubt.

Ate out on heated porch which has no ambience. The inside of the restaurant is very nice. Item I wanted was out, so I chose the grilled cheese and soup. The tomato-fennel soup was delicious. The grilled cheese was made with tasteless white bread and it smelled and looked burnt like it was branded with a hot waffle pattern iron. Will plan to come for breakfast next time.

Very chill and cool cafe shop, east of Washington on 25th Street! Wonderful food if you enjoy more natural options such as vegetarian and vegan. The owners and staff are friendly and kind! The soups are to die for... check it out!

We've come here a few times for dinner and breakfast and it's always really busy but the food seems a little expensive for the quality that you get. Also the service last time we were in was a little slow. He was supposed to bring bread and he never did and we only got our waters refilled once. It's convenient place if you're downtown, but there's nothing there that brings me back every time other than convenience. They have seating inside and outside which makes it nice that you can choose if you want to be in or out.

Oasis Cafe... what a place. The ambiance is absolutely fabulous. The patio is scattered with warm comforting sunlight as the birds sing their song in unison. I felt like I was on vacation only 5 minutes from my apartment!!! Food was good but not a home run, but hey, a triple isn't bad! I had the breakfast sandwich and the croissant was sooo buttery and flakey, yum yum yum!!! Taking gulps of the fresh squeezed OJ reminded me of my honeymoon in the Bahamas! Place is awesome, bring a friend or bring a book, I don't care! Your world your life!!!!

All the food was amazing ! Presentation was beautiful. Desert was melt in your mouth good . Ambiance, super cozy & clean. Service was fast & friendly ! 10/10 will come back .

This is a staple spot for Gluten-free friends, or those who want healthy and hardy options. Great service, people are always friendly and clearly have good management supporting them. Lots of seating, which helps since it's a hotspot of weekends. The space is open and has great patio seating (heated during the winter). Thankfully it's next to a fun bookshop to peruse while you wait.

A gluten free and vegan paradise! I am so impressed not only with the atmosphere but the incredible options they have for myself! I am gluten sensitive and dairy free and they have SO MANY OPTIONS! I am SO IMPRESSED! 10/10 The staff is super friendly. They have tons of seating options!
