Dear Coco is more than a shop it’s a love letter to belonging.

Founded by South African born creatives who understand the feeling of being a “fish out of water,” Dear Coco was born from a dream to create a space where everyone feels welcome - a sanctuary of connection, comfort, and curiosity. Whether you’re stopping in for your morning coffee or searching for the perfect gift, you’ll find yourself surrounded by thoughtful details, warm conversations, and a touch of wonder.

Nestled in Salt Lake City’s vibrant and walkable 9th & 9th District, Dear Coco is located in the newly developed Milk Block, just steps from Liberty Park and a popular bike path. It’s a neighborhood hub designed to slow you down, spark joy, and offer a moment of magic in your day.

Inside Dear Coco, you’ll discover:

• A curated boutique of elevated, meaningful gifts and beautifully designed merchandise

• Locally crafted art and goods that celebrate the creativity of our community

• A boutique coffee bar, featuring high quality, locally roasted coffee and specialty drinks that shift with the sun - morning, midday, and evening offerings from our rotating Coco Collection

To complement your coffee moment, our grab and go pastry selection offers a thoughtful mix of sweet and savory creations. These delights are made in collaboration with renowned local chef Manoli’s and a beloved local pastry chef and bakery, ensuring that each bite feels as intentional and memorable as the space around you.

At Dear Coco, we believe in elevated gifting and everyday rituals. We’re here to celebrate life’s small wonders—whether through a handwritten card, a shared cappuccino, or a smile from across the room. Every corner of our store is crafted to feel personal, heartfelt, and simply curious.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you like.

There’s always a seat and a story waiting for you at Dear Coco
