Millcreek Restaurants: Breakfast Cafe or New York Deli?
Salt & Seek / Millcreek
Around Millcreek, the breakfast-versus-lunch decision matters as much as the restaurant name. Roots Cafe serves its breakfast menu into the afternoon. Nearby Feldman's Deli has an earlier breakfast cutoff and a separate sandwich-led lunch service.
Choose Roots for eggs, pancakes or crepes. Choose Feldman's for a half-pound Reuben, a deli classic or soup with a sandwich. Feldman's uses a Salt Lake City address just north of Millcreek, so this guide states the location explicitly instead of stretching the city boundary.
Breakfast through the afternoon
Roots Cafe
Roots' official menu separates breakfast, served from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., from sandwiches, served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. That makes it the more flexible breakfast choice if your morning starts late. The site lists Wednesday through Sunday hours and says it does not take reservations.
For a savory plate, Huevos Rancheros puts eggs, beans and ranchero sauce at the center. For something sweet, compare the ricotta-filled crepes with straightforward buttermilk pancakes. You do not have to turn that into a ranking: the choice is whether you want beans and eggs, a filled crepe, or a stack.
What to order
- Roots Huevos Rancheros · $13.50: Two eggs, a choice of protein, black beans, house ranchero sauce, pepper jack, avocado, cilantro and flour tortillas.
- Crepes · $11.75: Citrus-mint ricotta with warm mixed-berry sauce.
- Real Buttermilk Pancakes: One for $4, two for $7.50 or three for $12, as listed on the official menu.
The Breakfast Burrito is another savory route at $13.75, combining eggs, grilled vegetables, potatoes, a protein choice, pepper jack and salsa fresca. Check which protein options and additions affect the final price.
For planning, the 3 p.m. closing time is the important limit. Roots works for breakfast or lunch, not a dinner reservation. Monday and Tuesday are listed as closed; verify current hours before making a special trip.

A nearby deli lunch
Feldman's Deli
Feldman's official menu identifies the deli as established in 2012 and builds its lunch selection around substantial sandwiches. Its classic and grilled sandwich sections specify a half-pound of meat, Jewish rye and a side, with different dressings and toppings according to the order.
The practical choice is between a grilled Reuben with sauerkraut, an ungrilled deli classic with mustard, or the double-decker Sloppy Joe with coleslaw and Thousand Island. The name Sloppy Joe here refers to a deli sandwich, not the ground-beef sandwich that name may bring to mind.
What to order
- Pastrami Reuben · $18: Pastrami and sauerkraut with Swiss and Thousand Island, grilled on Jewish rye with a choice of side.
- Sloppy Joe · $18: A double-decker of corned beef, pastrami, Thousand Island and coleslaw on Jewish rye. The menu specifies no modifications.
- Matzo Ball Soup · $7: A matzo ball in chicken soup, listed separately from the sandwich price.
If the half-pound format is more than you want, the menu offers a quarter-pound sandwich for $2 less. That is a more useful ordering adjustment than guessing how many people should split a full sandwich.
The posted schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Breakfast runs to 10:30 a.m.; lunch starts at 11 a.m. The menu lists a 5% supply fee on takeout orders over $100 and a 20% gratuity for parties of six or more. Confirm current policies when placing a large order.
