It's coming up on our fifth year, and it's been a good summer for us. And if I don't make a note of it, who will? :)

"Editor’s Note: Vanessa Chang, is a highly talented writer living in Salt Lake City. Among her many passions is food, and her articles have appeared locally and nationally, including The New York Times, Sunset, and Wine Enthusiast, to name a few. Her blog is titled: She Craves: A glutton with brains. As a companion to the major Meeting Professionals International World Education Congress which will be held in Salt Lake City this weekend, we thought it would be a good opportunity to highlight the downtown culinary gems of Salt Lake City. This post also is found at her blog. I present the first part here and include the link at the bottom to continue reading."

Caffe d'Bolla [249 E. 400 South, #B, 801.355.1398]
For caffeine freaks and connoiseurs alike. SLC's teetoling and caffeine-free stereotypes belie the coffee geniuses who have set up shop in the city. Most notably, is John Piquet's Caffe d'Bolla. Along with his wife, Yiching, he micro roasts high quality beans, sourced from all over the world. He talks coffee the way a sommelier talks wine.

This is not the place for lovers of Java/Espresso/Joe/Cafe/Etc. "Express," or "On the Go." This is thinking man's coffee. You come in, order one of the daily brews or a finely pulled espresso shot and sit down and sip like a civilized person.

Caffe d'Bolla is one of the handful of cafes in the country that offer Japanese siphon brewing. This laboratory-looking contraption brews elegant cups free of grit (sorry, Greek coffee lovers) and full of nuance. Watching John measure and grind the beans, track water temperature and set the timer is akin to watching the rituals of a Japanese tea ceremony. Only this time, you sit at the bar, with a tall glass of water and a shot of sparkling water to cleanse the palate.

Plus, richly flavored, densely smooth gelato, spun in small batches, on-site and some of the best Boba Tea (tapioca pearl tea) in the region.

Take TRAX to the Library Square stop, Caffe d'Bolla is right across the street on the north side."
