Snot bubbles... if you want your coffee laced with snot bubbles this is the place. Im never one to write negative reviews for a place even if the experience wasnt exactly perfect. But this coffee shop is a health hazard. I came here for the fantastic reviews while on an annual snowboarding trip to PC trying it for the first time. The first day I went in there was an employee (will not name or describe) who was clearly under the weather that was running the cash register and doing the initial cup label/handoff and filling with hot water if needed. I know what its like to feel an obligation to work when youre sick but in food service thats a dicey game, but understandable. Ultimately the decision is on management to either keep an employee there or send them home for a paid sick day. This person looked so pale like they would pass out any minute and was coughing a lot into their hands... after paying for my coffee they grabbed my cup and then proceed to cough DIRECTLY into the cup then handed it off to the other staff to fill up. I kind of just froze wondering how the heck I was going to handle this without embarrassing this person too badly. I finally decided to very politely and quietly ask for a new cup because I saw them accidentally cough into it. They obliged although unenthusiastically, like they barely processed what just happened- this poor employee really needed to be sent home, it wasnt fair they were being made to work in this condition serving food. Where I decided to drop the 1 star review was the second day I came here- why did I come back? Because the coffee was absolutely fantastic and it was one of the few coffee shops on Main Street and I thought for sure, no big deal it was isolated and that employee is either in better shape or home sick. NOPE. In fact they were WORSE and still running the register and touching everyones cup. This person was up here coughing their lungs out in a guttural fit that could not have been pleasant. What kind of boss would actually LET your employee be there in that condition?! As Im approaching the line this person went off to the bathroom during a seemingly uncontrollable coughing fit. Meanwhile a healthy employee takes over and she starts taking orders and I felt relieved. Right as Im about to get to the front of the line a few minutes later, the sick employee comes back from the bathroom. Im now close enough to them to see that there are snot bubbles coming out of their nose... that they are then wiping on their hands... that they are using to grab customers coffee cups. I see the customer in front of me order coffee and the next thing that happens is the employee wipes their nose, grabs the cup with her hands curled around the top inside the cup, then proceeds to cough directly into the cup in an attempt to "cover their mouth" like the previous day! I couldnt deal with it, my girlfriend and I left. On the way out I noticed the trash can was overflowing, this is clearly a place whose management does not care about the hygiene of its establishment, doesnt Utah have health inspections? Your management needs a wake up call. To have left an employee in that state working and handling customer food was deplorable. They clearly did not want to be there and obviously a decision was made that forced them to. There is no doubt they shouldnt been sent home for a paid day off instead of putting all your customers at risk. Get control of this, I would NOT trust the hygiene of this place.

There is a lot going on in this little shop. There are trinkets and gifts and souvenirs and books and coffee and sandwiches. Most of the novelties are a bit overpriced and I didnt pay them much attention. There is a decent variety of books, though they only take up one section of the wall. The Belgian dark hot chocolate I had was delicious, and the wrap was pretty good if a bit overpriced. Ive said it multiple times before that a decent sized shop like this should have more than a single unisex bathroom, as I ended up waiting over 15 minutes for someone to vacate this bathroom before giving up and walking elsewhere. And given that there are quite a few people here drinking coffee, you can realize why restroom access may be desirable. I may have spent more time in the shop browsing if I hadnt have been forced to leave for this reason.

Came here after visiting the nintendo and oculus rift lounge/ vr bar during sundance good tea and coffees nice building looks like a classic ski town lodge I guess? I like the paint job/lighting its relaxing Dont see many places like it (in utah anyway) has books you can sit outside on the deck and watch people ski (and fall down the mountain in front) the rest of it is a old style book store and gift shop. it is too crowded durning sundance though the line was huge. I think they hosted the nintendo lounge since it looks like the same building but the other side was rented out by nintendo?

Very good coffee and a neat atmosphere. If you know the novel To kill a mockingbird you really should go and have a coffee. They even have Boo Radley Bars! The coffee is just as great as the atmosphere, even though its priced a bit high. If you go, you might have troubles finding a spot to sit, since those are limited and its a very popular cafe.

First time to park city and came across this lovely, locally owned spot and fell in love. The people working there were the nicest we had encountered and you can tell that they really love what they do. Loved that we could sit and stay for a while and could charge our phones, read a book, and sip ok some great smoothies!

The service was very well, the staff are very friendly, the environment is very laid back, the food was delicious! I give it only four stars just because there are about two or three vegan foods. But for what it is, its great!

Very cool coffee, tea and book shop. Lots of other cool things to look at. The line can be a little long, especially during Sundance. Their reusable cups you can purchase have a cool design and hold up very well.

A large selection of teas and coffees. The atmosphere is so fun, and they also sell small bits and bobs related to coffee, tea and books. All the best things! My favourite coffee shop on the Main Street.

Best coffee and environment in Park City. Great place, can be cluttered when too many tourists are there. But a great place to always remember for good food, coffee, and tea.

I was expecting a larger selection of books. There was about 5 bookcases. The hand bound journals were a bit pricey as was the loose-leaf teas, however it is Park City so.....

Amazing little shop. The staff were all so friendly and the choices for drinks was great. Excellent hot cocoa here. Bookshop is tiny but cute. Just a fun quirky little place.
