Beans & Brews: High-Altitude Craft Coffee Rooted in Salt Lake City

Founded in 1993 in Salt Lake City, Beans & Brews has grown from a local favorite into a widely loved coffeehouse brand across Utah and the Intermountain West. Known for its signature High-Altitude Roasting and laid-back atmosphere, this family-owned roaster delivers approachable, quality-driven coffee for the everyday drinker—whether you’re on your commute, meeting friends, or studying in the café.

Craft Roasting at 4,000+ Feet

What sets Beans & Brews apart is its proprietary High-Altitude Roasting process. Roasting coffee at elevations above 4,000 feet enables lower roasting temperatures and longer development times, resulting in a smoother, lower-acid profile that’s easy on the stomach yet rich in flavor. This unique approach allows them to craft balanced blends and flavorful single-origin coffees that appeal to both casual drinkers and coffee enthusiasts.

Sourcing with Integrity, Roasting with Precision

Beans & Brews is committed to responsible sourcing, working with reputable growers to ensure sustainability and consistent quality. Their coffee menu features a thoughtful selection of blends and origins that reflect their goal of making great coffee accessible without sacrificing integrity. Each batch is roasted fresh to maintain flavor clarity and freshness across every cup served or bag sold.

More Than Just Coffee

While coffee is at the core of their brand, Beans & Brews offers a full café experience. Alongside espresso drinks and drip coffee, customers can enjoy a wide variety of teas, smoothies, and seasonal beverages, making the café welcoming for every kind of visitor. Whether you're fueling up for work or relaxing on the weekend, the atmosphere is designed to be inclusive and cozy.

Local Roots, Regional Reach

From a single Salt Lake City location to dozens of cafés across Utah and surrounding states, Beans & Brews has managed to scale while maintaining a distinctly local feel. Each location reflects the brand’s commitment to community, comfort, and reliable coffee. Even as they expand, they’ve held tight to the founding principles that made them a hometown favorite.
