Over the Counter Cafe
Over the Counter Cafe is a small restaurant in Millcreek serving classic American breakfast foods like eggs, pancakes, and French toast. The menu also includes lunch options such as sandwiches, burgers, and salads, many of which are gluten free, plus local beverages including craft kombucha and coffee sourced from The Bean Yard in Salt Lake City.
The cafe was founded in 1983 in Salt Lake City and has since become an established gathering place in the community where neighbors have come together for many years. Its consistency and straightforward approach to honest food have made it a well-known spot despite changes in the food scene.
The cafe serves as a community gathering spot where neighbors meet for breakfast and casual conversation. The friendly staff and relaxed setting create a place where regular visitors feel at home and can enjoy familiar, comforting food.
The cafe opens early in the morning for breakfast and stays open long enough for lunch, making it convenient for a quick meal between errands. On weekends, visitors are encouraged to keep table time reasonable as it is a small business that prepares each order with care.
The cafe places great emphasis on supporting local producers and sources its coffee intentionally from The Bean Yard, an independent roaster in Salt Lake City that prioritizes fairness to farmers. This commitment to local support is also reflected in beverages like craft kombucha and water kefir from nearby brands.
