AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!

We ordered two different sandwiches and I wish I could have ordered more. My non-vegetarian husband ordered the SLC Cheesesteak and I ordered the pesto chicken. Both of us were more than pleased and ended up sharing one sandwich for lunch and having the other for dinner...they were HUGE! We are anxious to get back to try the other sandwiches! I highly recommend this awesome place!

Pros: Delicious and unique menu!, HUGE portions, Friendly staff

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.

I miss the salads

The sandwiches will never miss but removing the salads loses one star😡

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".

Pesto

It’s been awesome having vegan/plant based businesses to support. Buds is a great experience from the greeting you get at the window to the variety and great tasting sandwiches. I typically would not order a “faux meat”, but when they told me they make their own, I had to try. The chikun pesto was full of flavor and the chikun consistency and taste was really good. Definitely would order it again.

Pros: All vegan, Friendly and helpful staff, Fair pricing

Cons: Patio seating only and not always open

Loved the vegan menu, especially the buffalo sandwich. The sourdough bun was fabulous. Fresh with crispy crust. The cabbage slaw on the sandwich was perfect. Will definitely go again!

Affordable and delicious

A Philly cheesesteak with incredible cheese, a little spice and a touch of smoky flavor for $7.50? Yes. Please!!! First time here but definitely not my last.

Pros: Affordable sandwiches , Great flavor , Friendly service

Cons: No indoor/outdoor seating

A must visit

Absolutely delicious. I've already had two different sandwiches from here (the cheesesteak and the new Italian cold cut) and both have been phenomenal.

Delicious, fairly priced, full of veggies, and fully vegan! Great place to bring non vegans as well.

The best of the best!

Buds has to be my top choice for a solid vegan sandwich in Salt Lake City. Only open for takeout and mainly lunch hours but always a pleasant and efficient experience. The Banh Mi, Buffalo and pesto are my top 3, while all the menu items are a force to be reckoned with. The prices are probably the most affordable for vegan in salt lake. The staff is so friendly and rarely make a mistake I have not had one bad experience. I’ll always be a buds customer and always will love unwrapping one of their sandwiches for lunch. Besides the main courses the lavender lemonade and chocolate zucchini cookies are a fantastic edition to your meal. Shoutout buds you guys rock!

Pros: Customer service , Quality of food , Prices
