Over the Counter Cafe has been around since 1983. It is family owned and a local favorite, known for being an old school diner, the friendly service and full coffee cups says it all.

Loved this simple, delicious meal. I got a Parfait which was sweetened with fresh fruit and strawberry syrup, and an enormous Utah Scone with butter, powdered sugar, and fresh honey. It was exactly what I was craving this morning. I'll be ordering from this shop again.

My favorite place for breakfast in Salt Lake! The food is always good, portions are generous and they have a great menu. Favorite dishes are the OTC scramble, raspberry pancakes and the Holly. They also have lots of options for customizing your order with different veggies, proteins and sides. If you get a chance to go during the week, try their fry bread - it's amazing, too!

I was afraid the scones would be pathetic and small, but they were huge! They were also utterly delicious. I was too full and satisfied to finish the rest of the stuff that I ordered, so now I have leftovers! >D

Always good for a solid breakfast. On my "goto" list of breakfast places. Trainwreck was great as always. Did seem to get my onions and the next couple of guys onions in it. No big issue, it is Saturday and I'm sure they are swamped.

The Greek omelette is always a delicious choice and the portion was generous. It did lack seasoning - especially the potatoes - which is common here, pretty common here. It's annoying, but easily fixed with S&P and some spices from home. I ordered/paid for an upgrade from toast to a scone, but they provided boring white toast anyway. Not super happy about that. This place has good food and lots of options, but I do wish they paid more attention to orders - there's been way too many times when I've paid for extras like the scone or avacodo or bacon and it's not provided. It would also be nice if they included things like ketchup and jam (and salt and pepper!).
