Slaps

Even my omnivore family enjoyed the vegan sandos we ordered. Canola oil is used in the buffalo sandwich. Olive oil is used in the pesto. I also recommend visiting their ice cream shop, monkey wrench.

Pros: Delicious, Fully vegan

What a gem!

Quick service and a bit hard to spot if you don't know what you're looking for. Amazing sandwiches and pretty cheap too! Just what I was looking for.

I love you, Buds

Hands down my favorite eatery in SLC. Buds is everything right with food: Quick, convenient, cheap, and delicious. The only thing i would change about this place is to make it 24 hour. Try the pesto sandwich or if it's available, the meatball sub special. Never change, Buds. I love you.

Pros: Flavorful, Affordable, Friendly staff

Great

Update: (2024)
4.5/5 I love this place; it’s super super cheap. The cheese steak sandwich is amazing! The only downside is you are always pressured to leave a tip.

3.5/5 After reading all the 5 star life changing reviews my expectations were through the roof. I ordered at the window and waited. (No gluten free options, but that’s alright). It isn’t cheap, nor expensive, but I was expecting a lot of food).
The “deli” sandwich I received was comprised of two small pieces of “Dave’s Killer Bread” micro greens, veggie turkey, guacamole, and spinach, and spicy mustard, (which I couldn’t detect)
It for sure wasn’t bad at all, but it tasted like an ordinary sandwich I could slap together at home for $2
Overall it was alright. It’s good there is a nice 100% vegan sandwich shop people can go to. But considering value, and flavour, I was overall not impressed.

Pros: Cool vibe

Cons: No gluten free bread, Small pieces of store bought bread (whole wheat), Average flavour

Italian Sandwich

Picked up 2 italian sandwiches with the vinaigrette on the side (so it didn’t get soggy) and took them to the airport for our flight home. Ate them about 4 hours after we picked them up and they were still fresh and delicious. Cute concept of an order and pickup window with outdoor seating.

Great sandwiches

The buffalo sandwich was delicious. I wasn't wild about the cookie. The lavender lemonade was also nice. Outdoor seating only.

Buds does it again

I thought nothing could top their cheesesteak. But holy cow I just had their Rueben, and it was fantastic.

I also love the chili but I think it’s seasonal.

Fantastic sandwiches

I came for the bbq “chicken” sandwich, but left with the Italian sub. I asked the woman taking my order and she said that it was her favorite. It’s now my favorite. They really did this right.

Great vegan sandwiches

Visited here recently on vacation and wasn’t disappointed! We had the buffalo and pesto sandwiches and both were excellent! Also ordered the lavender lemonade and vanilla iced chai—so good!

Note: restaurant is counter service only with some outdoor seating.

Awesome sandwiches!

The sandwiches are huge! Very friendly and accommodating with my son’s special sandwich request. My husband loved the pesto sandwich and says it is the best! I really enjoyed the Buffalo sandwich and my daughter enjoyed her bbq sandwich. My son is super picky and he ate half of his too (he only stopped because he was full). Brownies are amazing.

Pros: sandwiches, cookies, walk n go

Cons: removing the salads

Love da buds

I love buds so much. Back in college, we won't talk about how long ago that was. I would reward myself with a buds chicken pesto sandwich after every major test at the end of the school year. Now that I live in the SF Bay area I try to eat at buds every time I return to SLC. The sandwiches are great. You get a lot for your money. And the pesto sub is Devine. I cannot stress the amount of deliciousness in between bread.

Pros: Taste, Price , Location

Absolute best sandwich shop, make sure to get a cookie

Best sandwiches ever. I’ve yet to find anything on the menu I didn’t enjoy. Even my non vegan friends love it. Staff is friendly and great to talk to

Best meal I had in SLC

Ate at like 4 vegan places this week while in town and this is the only one that even comes to the quality I'm used to. Their sourdough is great with a crunch. Had the buffalo chicken straight up, perfect flavor and portion size. This is probably the only restaurant I will return to on future trips to SLC.

Parking was easy despite what other reviews say. There is parking on the street in front or on the street around either corner.

Pros: Amazing food, Super friendly service, Super affordable

Fantastic

Have wanted a proper deli style sandwich like this for a long time. The Italian was great. Bread fresh, ingredients tasty and juicy.

Pros: Tastes good

Cons: Took a while to get my order at peak period

Best sandwiches ever

I love this place. Honestly the nest sandwiches I have ever had before. My favorites are the buffalo and the pesto. Come here! And you get a free cookie if you are a UARC (Utah Animal Rights Coalition) member

Loved the Philly cheese steak

Loved ordering online and quick pick up.
The cheesestwak was hot and delicious...so much so that I came back the next day for another.

It has potential to be good.

The flavors are great, alon with the prices- but it's all soy curls and white breads.
Not many options, hard to order, hard to park for pickup. What's annoying is, whenever we've tried to call, they never answer the phone, yet I've stood at the window for a while, while employees are just looking at me... while on the phone.
I think if they worked on customer service, the ordering process (have experienced issues with site, but can't get a call answered), and adding some options for proteins and breads, it'd be great. Until then, I pass on this one.

Pros: Price

Cons: Lack of options, Customer service

Meh

Decidedly average. Sandwiches are decent, but like slightly below what you'd get at Jimmy John's or something. Us vegans need to up our standards of what's "excellent".
