Guru's Cafe

Healthy · Provo · 45 E Center St

Guru's Cafe is a downtown Provo room built on bowls, smoothies and a broad menu at student prices, and it has been one of the reliable answers to generous-portions-on-a-budget for long enough to be an institution.

Where it is

On Center Street just east of University Avenue, essentially at the origin point of Provo's address grid.

Provo addresses are grid references rather than house numbers in the usual sense: they count outward from the origin at Center Street and University Avenue, one hundred to a block. Our guide to how Utah addresses actually work explains why the same number means a different place in the next city over.

What we know about it

Our coverage reaches for it from several directions at once, which is a fair description of the menu too. The cheap-eats writing names it alongside Street Tacos Don Joaquin at the budget end. The family guides call it eclectic and accommodating, which in practice means a table with mixed requirements can all order something. The study-spot coverage lists it as laptop-friendly, in the group with Peace on Earth Coffee and Juice & Java.

That range is the point rather than a lack of focus: it is the downtown room that solves the most different problems.

Everything we have written about it

This is every page on Provo.com that names Guru's Cafe, most substantial first. The directory exists to route you into the writing rather than to replace it.

The durable facts, and the ones we refuse to carry

Where we read the address: our own page, not a third-party listing
How we know the city: this site prints the city immediately after the address

We do not publish opening hours, prices, phone numbers or ratings for any venue in this directory. Those are the facts that go stale, and a directory carrying them is wrong within a season while still looking authoritative. For hours, ask the restaurant.
