Can you resist a good cup of joe? What about its cooler counterpart? If you’re a coffee lover, iced coffee is one of life’s most distinct pleasures. Fortunately, Utah artisan coffee shops are plenty, and they are serving up the good stuff all year long. Here are our favorite spots.
One of the few non-chain coffee shops in Utah County, Juice ‘n Java takes its coffee incredibly seriously, and the same goes for its iced varieties. If you’re in the mood for a blended, icy drink, Juice ‘n Java’s “Mozen Froka” and “White Chocolate Cool Capp” are also great, cooling options. If socially responsible coffee is important to you, Juice ‘n Java has you covered.

Technically its own gourmet coffee brand, La Barba Coffee has three café locations in Utah, all of which are in Salt Lake County. And given Barba Coffee’s enormous popularity and unbeatable reputation, it comes as no surprise that its iced coffee is the perfect start to the day.
Another Salt Lake City-grown roasting company, Blue Copper has an impressive array of gourmet coffee that they roast in-house. Of course, you can buy their blends and make your own iced coffee at home, but the company also has a nice “Coffee Room” where they brew up their coffee for you.
Certified organic coffee roasters, Daily Rise Coffee opened its first location in 2004 in Ogden, Utah. Since then, the company—along with its menu—has only grown. If you’re looking for something cool, any one of shop’s “Mountain Chillers” will hit the spot, but you can also get the traditional house blend or French roast over ice.

Once a larger, bustling shop in Provo, the Coffee Pod is now a quaint, little coffee stand in another Provo neighborhood, but that doesn’t mean its coffee is any less delicious. With an iced coffee in hand, you can head over to Utah Lake and enjoy a pink Utah sunrise or sunset.
Located in the up and coming Boxcar Studios in Provo, Rugged Grounds is a community gem started by two bright-eyed coffee lovers with experience in the Utah restaurant industry. The shop serves fair-trade, organic coffee roasted in Utah Valley by the Hobble Creek Coffee Company, along with local teas and kombucha. Rugged Grounds’ menu is small, but its coffee (and iced coffee) packs a big punch.
Serving up locally roasted, organic specialty coffee, Alchemy Coffee is one of Salt Lake City’s finest coffee shops. Once you get your iced coffee here, you probably won’t want to leave the cozy shop, nor will you leave without a pastry. Some things, you just can’t say no to.

You kind of feel like a rock star buying coffee from Atticus Coffee & Teahouse. Maybe it’s the customer service, the close community vibes, the quality of its coffee, or a combo of all of these things. The shop sells frozen drinks and iced coffee for those mild Park City days.

Iced, locally roasted coffee is perfectly paired with Park City’s irresistible fresh mountain air.
