Tulie Bakery
Writing and photography by Stephanie Brubaker
We’re all familiar with the saying “there’s room for everyone.” This certainly applies to the booming bakery scene in Salt Lake City. More and more, the Beehive State serves as a destination for those who seek-out sugar confections.
The newest addition to the Salt Lake list is Tulie Bakery. Located near popular nail salon Nailed and the lively Cafe Trio where Xocolate used to be (fare thee well, Xocolate!), Tulie’s bright and spacious interior evokes refreshment equal to its neighbors. The communal tables at this bakery add its comfortable, casual vibe.
To dress it up, lovely details include letterpressed cards, simple-but-elegant packaging, antique bread boards, exposed brick walls and French bistro seating. Little succulents in terracotta pots? Yes, you’ll see those too.
But a good bakery can’t rest solely on its good looks. Good thing Tulie offers a bevy of temptations. Favorites include quiche (any flavor), bran muffins and their signature banana cream tart. Tulie prides themselves on use of high-quality ingredients (think hormone-free local milk, premium chocolate, pure vanilla, fresh eggs) which serve to make their treats even more enticing. There’s much to be said for simple, quality ingredients—just ask our friend Michael Pollan.
Don’t leave without ordering one of the gorgeous cakes baked up by owner Leslie Seggar. No one in town comes close to these triple-layer beauties in taste nor presentation. But don’t take our word for it….

i fancied a pain au chocolat from this bakery the other day and it was pretty tasty and only a little too big. but i’d rather be complaining of too much rather than too little. however, those cakes are super expensive even though they are so pretty looking. and their packaging is very similar to tartine bakery in san fran. i know the owner apprenticed there but that’s no reason to mimick their style….
