A cautionary tale of phone-in orders...
Any pastry aficionado knows that a good bakery sells out by noon, so since I was not able to arrive at Eva s bakery until 1:30pm I called ahead early that morning to place a phone order for afternoon pickup. They took my name and pastry order and set it aside for me. When I arrived downtown for the sole purpose of picking up my order from Eva s, I was told it must have accidentally been sold. To my utter dismay, I went home pastry-less.

I haven t had the food here really but the bakery items are hands down the best I ve had downtown. I love their brownies they definitely have that homemade taste to them, their cinnamon rolls are to die for, and they have a great selection of macaroons. If you are having cravings for something sweet, I high recommend checking Eva s out.

This place is cute cute cute! The beautiful blue storefront brought us in, the delicious benedict and pistacchio cream puff wowed me and the sweet staff will bring me back. Quest and Laura were so lovely to us (a loud group of reuniting girls) and I really appreciated that they matched our energy and were eager to let us have our fun, I think they were having fun too :) Thank you for an unforgettable experience! Don't listen to the negative nancy reviews and go to Eva's ASAP!

Came with my husband on a weekend. The closest thing to actual French food was the macaroons which are so far from the actual pastry that it should have another name. My husband and I spent the last several years in France and he is French. They didn't even have any French breads. This place is a bastardized starbucks that looks like a French bakery on the outside. Would not recommend.

Everything I've tried pretty amazing here. The quiche is divine and the Benedict is amazing. Sometimes service can be a tinsy bit slow but the waiters are always courteous. Also, I haven't seen these very often but if you have the chance to get a plum tart, do it. It is soooooo good. Wish I saw it more often.

didn't mind waiting 45 min, but got a little annoyed when host skipped us a few times. Ordered cappuccino in a mug, it came with a togo cup. The food came really fresh and hot. The stuffed French toast was amazing. Wanted some ketchup for the yummy potato but had to wait nearly 10 minutes for that. 5 star for food 2 star for service.

Fantastic bakery and a real gem in the middle of downtown SLC. I came with a party of seven and everything that we ate was delicious, including pastries, the french toast, the quiche and the melts.

Came in for breakfast this morning, there is a sign "wait to be seated", so I waited for over 10 minutes. The server is running around, not once making an eye contact to acknowledge my wait. A person before me left 5 minutes into my wait. I left as well and won't be back. Hire more people and train your servers to acknowledge people and let them know they will be right back.

Same people that have Eva down the street. Super easy downtown location. Same great experience but in the morning. Really great way to start my day. Awesome breads and pastry. Had the very ubiquitous these days, avocado toast. Fresh and delicious. Solid Cappuccino and great friendly people. The people were lining up out the door but they move them quickly. Ill be back for sure.

I've visited this bakery a few times just for a quick croissant and coffee. Today was the first time my husband and I sat down and had breakfast. The food was delicious, but my favorite part was sipping their delicious coffee. My husband also enjoyed his mocha. A nice place to relax before our long flight.

The best onion soup I ve tried in slc,the waiters are friendly and respect you space. The have a chocolate croissant with a coconut filling,that is delicious ever better the day after, and good quality coffee.

Eva's Bakery has to-go bakery items in addition to the sit down part of their restaurant. The menu has lots of yummy comfort food items and they serve breakfast all day. The boulange potatoes are to die for! The food definitely deserves 5 stars, but I gave Eva's four stars because the service is a little under par. The staff isn't super friendly and they don't explain the restaurant very well. For example, when you come in the restaurant the staff doesn't ask if you want to do take away pastries or a sit down meal. Lots of first timers end up standing around not knowing what to do. Also, even though it's a sit down restaurant you're supposed to pay at the register. The first time I went here I waited for a long time for them to bring me the check because they didn't tell me that I needed to pay at the register.

They should take the title of Boulangerie out of the logo. I doubt any of the bakers have been to a real boulangerie that makes a good baguette. The baguette was grainy, tasted like lactic acid, and had almost no gluten structure when cut open. I have it 3 stars because the croissant and chocolate croissants are ok. Still think they should use more butter in their croissant tho. Take a trip to Paris to taste good bread and then come back.

I live in the UK but whenever I am back in SLC, I make sure to stop by Eva's. Honestly one of the best bakeries I've ever been to - everything I've had there has been absolutely incredible. Croissants are always perfect.

Adorable little bakery with lots of delicious options, but like most bakeries, you're going to want to get here earlier rather than later because they will run out of stuff as the day goes on. My favorite was the coconut macaroon. The brownie was also very good. The coconut cake was pretty good, but I didn't like the frosting. The best part, though is the atmosphere which is very cozy, warm and inviting. Very hygge.

Amazing! I came here for brunch and loved the egg s Benedict. I appreciated that it came with ham and spinach, along with some salad. The potatoes are sliced thin and are lemony - the ham is also thin. It s a little different than other egg bennys that I have had, but a treat nonetheless. I also got a chocolate croissant to go, which was perfect.

This is a four rating behind some of the best bakeries in the world. I'd still drive 40 miles to eat baked goods here.
One of their baked rolls, perhaps cinnamon, was a five, but the rest were solid 4, which on my scale is very very good.
I'm not comparing to Utah, but to SF, LA, NYC, Paris. We also sat and had a breakfast egg choices that all 3 of us enjoyed.
But I'm rating the place primarily on their baked goods. The breads were a 3 though. Perhaps best in UT, but still a 3.

Honestly, consider me a little unimpressed from my encounter here because it was seriously underwhelming.

I had read SO much about this place and people always sing its praises, but I didn't think this was the best bakery I've been to on my lifelong hunt for macarons.

The macarons were slightly more expensive than my regular bakery at $2.25 a pop. They were good, but the staff could hardly explain what the flavors were and wouldn't even try to describe some of them like the Grasshopper. I didn't know what that flavor was and the guy was TOTALLY disinterested and told me: "It's Grasshopper." Yes, I know, I can read.

The service was what really blew me off about the place. They were all so blase over my being there. They couldn't have cared less even though I spent quite a pretty penny on a bunch of macarons.

Probably wouldn't go back purely because of the rude attitude I received.

Eva's is one of my favorite places to stop in for lunch downtown. They have great grab and go options if you're looking for something to take out. They also have a larger menu if you want to sit down for breakfast or lunch. Plus, the bakery items are always delicious.

Holy moly. Yeah, this place is a 5-star.

Holy moly. Yeah, this place is a 5-star.

a) Chocolate croissant? Flakey with a crunch. Chocolate was kind of weak but meh, still good. 40 out of 50.
b) Almond croissant? 50 out of 50. Not overly sweet -- which I prefer. Westerners love their diabetes. Me? I am half-sweet kind of guy.
c) Quiche? I have never been a quiche person so 36 out of 50. (Note: 25 out of 50 is average). My buddy gave it a 45 out of 50 since he loves him some eggs.
d) Cold brew? With sugar and milk, dope. Liked it. Not amazing but for $2.50 I'd gladly drink it again.

Overall: It's downtown. I'm lazy. But the drive is worth it. Five star.

Great pastries & coffee... if cashier girls can be more friendlier, when my daughter & I walked in there was no Welcome or Hello or can I help you with something?! I had to ask if I can go ahead and order she looked at me like "Yeah?" (Meaning Duh) I don't know what her problem was

This is a wonderful Salt Lake gem. Brunch is delicious (and reasonably priced as well). I had the French dip sandwich and it was delicious. You can also just order coffee and a pastry up front if you aren t a fan of waiting for brunch. Either way, the food is delicious and the coffee is fabulous. The service here is also fast a friendly. This place is definitely worth a visit.

I've been here a number of times, and I'm always full and happy when I leave. Their house coffee is good, with free refills, and their beet and avocado open sandwich is to die for. Staff has always been nice to me, and I always recommend this place to friends!

The ambience was nice. The cafe mocha was ok. Unfortunately both my friend s and my grilled cheese panini were burnt. Our tomato soups were salty. Sadly we were both disappointed. Washrooms were clean.

If you are looking for Healthy options, please visit this place! Food is great but they need to work on portions. There were days its a big portion and there were days its small. Customer service is great but they mess up a lot. Over all, great experience

As a pastry lover, I was very pleased with this place. Super friendly staff and very willing to be flexible with people who didn't really know how things work at Eva's:) we had the chocolate croissant, upside down corn cake, raspberry macaron, blueberry danish, and cinnamon roll. We developed a sugar buzz so ordered a frittata on top of it and were not disappointed!

In true European fashion, this bakery is done correctly! With the best pastries and baguettes in SLC area, the only time to be disappointed is when they've run out of the top items. Delicious breakfast and takeaway croissants, it's a favorite!
