Under the Umbrella opens cafe

Under the Umbrella Bookstore is ecstatic celebrating its second anniversary and announced the opening of their new Umbrella Cafe.

“After months of dust, construction, and anticipation, our in-store Umbrella Cafe is open to customers looking for a queer space to sit and sip,” owners wrote in a statement. “Just like in the store, Umbrella Cafe prioritizes queer-owned businesses to source its cafe offerings. The cafe invites you to come give food and drink a try.”

Umbrella Cafe serves LGBTQ-owned local products, including Sweet Hazel & Co., Hans Kombucha, and SLC Underground Sweets. Other queer sources include Queer Wave Coffee, Apostate Coffee, PARU Matcha, Sis Got Tea, Pink House Alchemy syrups and Bee Wild honey.

Currently, the menu includes coffee, espresso, lattes, cappuccino, tea-based drinks, muffins, vegan English muffin sandwiches, a vegan breakfast burrito, and an assortment of pastries, cookies, brownies and breakfast bars.

Items can be ordered at the cafe or online for pickup at undertheumbrellabookstore.com/umbrella-cafe.

The bookstore and cafe are located at 511 W 200 South, Suite 120, in Salt Lake City. If the bookstore is not open, use the back door, accessible from Eccles Ave. off 500 West
