Maud’s Café has reopened for takeout services, after a monthslong closure due to the coronavirus.

The Salt Lake City coffee shop at 422 W. 900 South is operated by Volunteers of America, Utah and gives homeless youth a chance to get training and job experience and work for an hourly wage.

It’s also a chill place to get a caramel macchiato or golden milk latte.

“We have taken the necessary measures and are so excited to be opening again,” said Geoff Doiron, the VOA’s chief development officer. “We have missed seeing our regulars and serving the community their Maud’s favorites.”

Call 801-597-2868 for curbside pickup or make a to go order in person. Masks are required inside the eatery.

In addition to coffee, espresso and other hot and cold beverages, the menu includes snacks, bakery items, soup, salads, sandwiches and pizza. See all the options at maudscafe.com.

The cafe is open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
