Last Update in March 2023! We’ve created this ever-growing guide to restaurants, bakeries, cafes, ice cream shops, and stores in the Beehive State that are friendly to dairy-free diners. It’s a collection based on research and reader recommendations (send yours!) that’s divided into restaurants & shops by city (first) and major chains found throughout Utah (second). And we’ve started a section for specialty dairy-free foods produced in this state.
We Update Continuously! You can ignore the original date on this post going forward. We update the information below whenever we’re alerted to a new recommendation, change, or closure.

Rio Açaí in South Jordan has dairy free açaí and smoothie bowls
Thank you!
I noticed on Zupa’s you say just their sandwich bread has dairy, but their rolls definitely have dairy as well! Our little with dairy allergies had a very bad reaction after eating one of the rolls a couple weeks ago. So I’d say stay away from all bread, not just the sandwich bread.
Hi Rachel, thanks for the note! We don’t have a full guide for Zupa’s with space for all details, since they are a smaller chain. I was attempting to highlight that the sandwiches cannot be made dairy-free. But this additional info is great! I’ve updated the wording slightly, with emphasis still on the fact that the sandwiches are not a good option. To others reading, for all restaurants, always verify the options on your order to ensure it is safe for your needs. These are general recommendations for good possibilities, but we don’t have space to list all order details. They are just quick summaries. Always do your own due diligence when visiting a restaurant as there are so many variables involved at each individual location.
And I hope that your little one is doing okay!
Little India in American Fork has dairy free options, and they have a guide on their menu to let you know which things have dairy, gluten, nuts, and are vegan.
Thanks Hailey!
Brass Smoothies
Salt Lake City, Utah
Ivie Juice Bar
Provo, Utah
Mixed Greens

Hi Tam, can you elaborate on why your recommend these spots? It looks like Ivie Juice Bar uses quite a bit of dairy, and Mixed Greens has almost no information or activity online. I’ll reach out to them, but it does help if you share your own experiences.
Agreed — Mixed Greens is amazing. Other places in St. George for dairy-free and gluten-free: Gaia’s Garden Cafe, Cafe Zupas, Turmeric Fresh Indian Grill, Twisted Noodle Cafe, Viva Chicken.
Thank you or the recommendations Cami!
Also check out Cafe Namasthe – it just opened in Lehi and they have a lot of great vegan and gluten free options.
Thank you Tiana – it has been added!
Thanks so much for this!
I’d also add Chubby’s Cafe to this list (multiple locations in UT). You can have their buns if you ask for them not to be toasted, can have any of their burgers without cheese, their beer-battered fries are delicious, and you can also have their scones if you don’t have their honey-butter with it. I usually bring my own, or they also have a cinnamon topping that I believe is dairy free. They’ll even make the chefs use fresh gloves if you ask, to cut down on cross contamination.
In N Out is also a chain that’s there in American Fork, which you’ve covered before.
JCWs (multiple locations in UT), you can have their fries and hamburgers without cheese. You can’t have their buns, but they’ll wrap them in an enormous head of lettuce for you upon request.
Slim Chickens in American Fork has an allergen menu they’ll let you see, and there are many dairy-free items on it. You can have the grilled tenders, plain wings, honey-bbq wings, coleslaw, fries. You can’t have their fried tenders though.
Village Baker has a couple locations in UT. All of their bread is dairy-free except their sourdough bread. So you can have almost any sandwich without cheese. You can also have their cranberry chicken salad, strawberry salad, tuna salad, and egg salad sandwiches.
Hope that helps!
Thank you Tiana, we’ll look into each of these!
