Bolla Café & Restaurant In Giussano

If you enjoy coffee, this is a must visit in SLC. I drop by every time I am in SLC and John never disappoints. Best espresso I ever have every time. John is also incredibly knowledgeable and is a master of his craft. (P.S. John I got a photo of you back in 2022 at the old location - don't think I have had a chance to share it with you.)

The best coffee you’ll find in SLC. Carefully crafted by a true expert

If you are really into espresso this is a great spot. If you’ve ever ordered a macchiato at Starbucks this might not be for you.

Food: This is some of the best coffee I’ve had. The experience was really cool because you get to watch him make the coffee using the siphon method. He explained the history and how it works, as well as why it’s widely recognized as the best way to make specialty coffee and actually get a clean cup and taste all the notes. It takes about 30-45 mins from when he serves you the coffee to when you finish it. Part of the experience is to see how the flavor notes change as the coffee decreases in temperature – something I’ve never thought of but can definitely attest to its truthfulness. Service: The owner is extremely knowledgeable in his craft – one of the smartest coffee aficionados I’ve ever met, and honestly probably ever will meet! That said, as we were asking him questions, his answers came across as extremely arrogant and long-winded. His plethora of knowledge seemed to make him “better” than anyone else. Look, I get it. You’re probably the best at brewing siphon coffee; great. That doesn’t mean you need to be boastful and undermining. Atmosphere: Honestly, nothing special here. The place is really small, you can sit down and do the tasting experience, or you can come in and order something to go. The place isn’t the cleanest or most organized. Bathroom wasn’t very clean and was out of soap. Although the owner makes excellent coffee, he seems to throw other things to the wayside like cleanliness and guest experience.

Phenomenal espresso. Wonderful place with the most knowledgeable owner. Bravo good sir

Best Iced latte I tried in SLC!! Place is very lowkey but owners are friendly and so passionate about coffee. I will keep coming back :)

Best coffee in downtown, owner is very friendly and passionate about making coffee. Selection of music and the space makes it very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

This is the coffee shop to visit if you want your coffee made by an expert with 22 years of experience.
