IMHO, seasonally-themed food and drink is one of life’s great pleasures, especially during the holidays. Here are some of the best morsels and festive sips to try around Salt Lake right now.
Drink & Be Merry
The eggnog latte from Joe the Barista delivers all the comfort and joy you need this time of year. If you’re craving something with a little more kick, head to Seasons Drinking at Drift Lounge, decked out in festive decor, and they’ll even light your drink on fire.

Good Things To Eat
Feldman’s Deli has latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly-filled donuts) to celebrate Hanukkah. And the winter specials at Eva’s Bakery make for the perfect lunch: french dip with caraway creme fraiche and smoked gouda, apple kouign amann, and white chocolate citrus latte.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Salt Lakers love ice cream in all forms, even when it’s cold out. Cluck Truck is serving up shakes of all flavors, including a seasonal white chocolate peppermint (pro tip: go on Mondays for 50% off shakes). Rockwell Ice Cream rolled out their holiday lineup with a chocolate orange (dark chocolate with swirls of orange curd). And Monkeywrench offers vegan eggnog ice cream.
If You’re Entertaining
If you’re hosting a holiday party this year, order a Buche de Noel from Passion Flour Patisserie to really impress your guests. Or outsource your rolls to the experts at Table X Bread. If you’ve got visitors in town, treat them to Nutcracker Tea & Cocoa at Bambara this Sunday, Dec. 21 with towers of dainty sandwiches and petite pastries.
