Friendly, great prices, & yummy

This was very good, very glad to try it, liked the bread & punk ethos, plus there's a vegan (at least lots of optiond) shaved ice truck, amd i got one for my pup.

Cons: lots of soy, no gf

Over rated

It’s good but so so over rated. Nothing special but good on occasion.

Good

The staff was great, vibe at the pick-up window was fun and colorful. Great fast place to stop if you are driving through Salt Lake. However, the sandwiches were not as flavorful as I would have hoped (too acidic, maybe it was the vinegarette?) I got the pesto sandwich but I highly suggest getting the Cheese Steak sandwhich and adding lettuce!

Best Lunch in Town

First of all this is the best lunch place in town, hands down. Not best VEGAN place, best overalls. It just happens to be fully plant based. With that said you have to go here. Try the pesto sandwich, buffalo salad, and taco salad. Pro tip is to get the taco salad as a wrap, basically a burrito...that bbq jackfruit is just 🤯

Pros: All plant based, no bad choices.

Cons: Only outdoor seating, so best to take to-go

Vegan Sandwiches in SLC

Buds is the best place to get a vegan sandwich in the Salt Lake City Area. As a long time player in the SLC vegan scene, Buds offers a wide variety of sandwiches that are 100% plant based. Some of my favorites include the Buffalo Chicken, Pesto, Pizzasteak, and Deli Classic. The bread at Buds is awesome: crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. They also offer wraps instead of bread. Buds also has salads, delicious cookies, drinks, and chips.

Buds is a to-go only dining option. You order online or at a window and pick up your food when it is ready. There is no indoor seating. There are a few picnic tables available on site.

Pros: Consistently great food, Quick, Affordable

Yay, deli subs!

We got a turkey sandwich and it was seriously the best sandwich ever. I missed deli subs and this hit the spot!

Yum

My boyfriend and I get the cheesesteak and the pesto add sprouts. We split half and half and love every minute of it. Wish the cheesesteak had some kind of krout or pickled red onion or something to add a little texture besides just the sauce bread and chickun

Pros: Affordable, Filling!, Friendly

Cons: Awkward parking when busy

Always amazing!

I cant say enough about how much I love Buds! The team does a great job and are always so happy and pleasant. While I have my go to favorites, everything is just so good, ive never been disappointed. The bread is everything you'd ever want, crusty, soft and tasty. The fillings are unique, but simple and soo satisfying. Grubby, messy and very filling, Buds is something I could eat every day but keep myself in check with maybe once a month or so. Its the one place I get really excited to treat myself to. Its reasonably priced, fun to visit and really just the best vegan sandwich in SLC.

Pros: friendly staff, Hearty portion, Very reasonably priced

Unique Vegan food!

The best vegan food I have had in Utah so far. Boyfriend and I ordered the barbocoa sandwiches and were so impressed. Also, the zucchini cookies were out of this world. Staff is super friendly and food came out quick so we will definitely be returning.

Pros: Amazing barbacoa sandwich , Zucchini cookies, Friendly staff and all plant based

Best Vegan Sandwiches

I’ve been a buds customer since the day it opened and it’s by far the best sandwich shop I’ve been to.

I’ve been to many countries and states and this is by far the best sandwiches with the most options available

I love Salt lake and all of its vegan options

Pros: Many vegan options , Cheap, Fast

Cons: None

Sincerely, Soon to be trampled by fanatics

"5-star sandwich" is a bar way too high for a spot that can't respect some of the craft's basic tenets.

-Slightly dry, oversized sourdough bread is a cornerstone for a sad sandwich
-Warm, soggy, wilted greens on the Pesto sandwich
-Guacamole on a "Deli Classic" turkey-style sandwich is nothing short of sacrilegious

An establishment that specializes in a particular form of food could, and should, be dishing out nirvana.

Clearly a lot is working here to be pulling in non-stop, flawless ratings, but if y'all keep giving thumbs up when their is obvious room for improvement, you're feeding a complacency that's helpful for no one.




Wait...we're only rating the cookie? Take my 5-stars, baybeeeee!

Pros: Attractively priced, Genuinely excellent service, Remarkable cookies

Cons: Overhyped, Proportions are inharmonius, Botched fundamentals

Amazing subs

The best subs I've had, and I've been lucky enough to have eaten in more than my fair share of vegan establishments around the world! Everything is on point. Fresh, slightly chewy sub bread, every sub is packed, and fantastic prices. My favorite has been the meatball sub with homemade meatballs, wow it was simply incredible. Mind blown. Don't forget to get it with their homemade cashew cheese sauce!!

My bf loves their buffalo sub with soy curls. We've enjoyd every sub we've had here but those are definitely our favs. Idk why, but I was not a big fan of the barbacoa, but a lot of people seem to love it, so perhaps a matter of personal preference. I hope they keep the meatball sub.on the menu tho!

When I took an omni friend of mine here his mind was blown, and I quote "Yo, this is a once a week spot. At least." And there you have it.

Pros: Amazing vegan subs, Great prices, Cute outdoor patio

Cons: No indoor seating, No bathroom

Stopped twice

On a road trip from CO to OR we stopped here for a destination lunch. We loved it so much we made it fit in our schedule to stop again on our way home. This was June 2019. Need I say more?

These sandwiches give me LIFE.

Their buffalo "chicken" and barbacoa jackfruit sandwiches are my favorite on the menu. I always regret not ordering an extra for later! Cute little outdoor area to eat.

Pros: Fast, delicious.

Cons: No indoor seating.

Best. Sandwiches. Ever.

Not just for vegans, for everyone. Even my omni friends love this place, as do I. The pesto is my favorite but the barbacoa burrito is great, too.

Pros: Cheap prices. , Good, quality food., UARC card gets you a free cookie.

Cons: I wish vegan mozzarella came on the meatball sub.

Best vegan sandwiches I have ever eaten

We ordered and shared a Barbacoa sandwich and a Philly Cheesesteak, both in long submarine rolls, absolutely loaded with “meat” and vegetables, spicy and satisfying. Buds is in a red brick house on a pleasant street east of downtown. You place your order at the window and wait at picnic tables in the shade; sandwiches are soon ready for pickup. You may eat them at those tables, but we took them to our hotel room and warmed them in the microwave.

Pros: great food, fast service, good value

Best Sandwiches In Town!

Almost everything I've tried here has been amazing. My favorite is the buffalo chicken sandwich and a close second is the meat ball sub. I also really like their taco salad, it's huge and fresh. Everything is very affordable and hardy. Unfortunately they fall short on a few things, they don't really offer any side options and the dinning area is really small, especially in the winter months. Even with its little faults, it's still one of my new favorite spots.

Pros: Large Sandwiches , Affordable , Friendly Staff

Cons: Bad side dish options , Small dining room, Only open for lunch

Great Sandwiches

A local recommended this place, and I am glad they did. I had the Pizza sub, and it was fantastic. You order at a walk up window, limited outside seating. The staff were friendly and food was ready quickly. Highly recommend.
