We did not realize half of it was closed and inaccessible due to construction. Such a bummer, but at the same time fascinating, to find the temple almost completely hidden behind the most intense scaffolding we have ever seen. And we saw Notre Dame two years ago. No joke. But everyone we encountered was so lovely and we were allowed to go into the Tabernacle. Someone requested an acoustics demonstration when we were there which was astonishing. We didn’t catch/couldn’t understand everything the young lady said but we heard the newspaper rip and the pins drop. Wow. Otherwise it was so hot that we went and sat in the restroom building for a few minutes after filling our water bottles!! There wasn’t much else to do unless you wanted to do genealogy research or visit the museum. We found a parking spot on the street (and in the shade!!) no problem. Cost $4.50/2 hrs. We were there 20 minutes. lol If we are ever in SLC again, maybe we’ll drive by again. I hear it’s pretty at Christmas.

Husband and I have been trying ‘small batch’ coffee shops in and around Denver/Colorado or wherever we travel, since coming home from Europe last summer where we enjoyed many such shops. We always strive to try a new to us place every time we have coffee out, which is way more than we should of course. lol

Huckleberry’s was worth the wait! We’ve been wanting to try it for awhile. The shop is cute, clean and has tons of personality. The building is accessible but I’m not sure about the restrooms. The barista we talked with was friendly and the vanilla lattes were yummy. We prefer them a bit hotter than we were served but the flavor was awesome with not a hint of bitterness to the coffee. We sat outside at a picnic table and ended up having a nice conversation with a man in town visiting his son from PA. It was a gorgeous, Colorado blue sky morning and we enjoyed the outdoor space tremendously. We’ll definitely visit again next time we’re over in that area and we think you should too!

We met friends from out of town here last week. Husband and I have been trying ‘mom and pop’ coffee shops all over the world since last summer and especially Colorado of course. This one has been on my list for over a year. I’m not sure how it got the moniker of Denver’s Most Romantic cuz it’s in an open market area… It’s literally just a counter as you walk in of the street. Anyway, the barista was bomb and all agreed their coffee was great. Husband and I get vanilla lattes so that we can compare one thing across the board and these were quite tasty. We got two. One of our friends got a cappuccino and it was his second, the others had theirs before we arrived. There is a lot of seating and we hung out for an hour or so. We didn’t eat anything and quite honestly, I didn’t even notice what they had. We hadn’t seen our friends since… well it’s been many years. We only had eyes and ears for each other in our short visit. The whole market is accessible and I would guess there is an elevator to access the loos which are in the basement (next to the speakeasy 😳) however I, again, wasn’t paying attention to details.

Such a sweet place. We were recommended by our Airbnb host and tried it the first morning. The girls were sweet and helpful and the atmosphere in the shop is very nice. It’s clean and uncluttered and bright and airy which, we’ve found, is unusual in this old city where everyone is packed in cheek to jowl. The coffee was good and the almond croissants were tasty.

This was right near our holiday rental and was the first place we tried. Not a lot of options for our son with food allergies but we all ate. It wasn’t the best meal but definitely not the worst. lol The owner was so friendly and welcoming and we were thankful to have found food so quickly.
