Worth every penny. The chef here is fantastic and we've never been disappointed. If you go for brunch you have to try their pancakes with unicorn syrup, I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Best pizza in Utah County. If you like spicy get the serrano and if you're lucky and they have their Cubano special available, order 6 and enjoy every last bite.

Good local ice cream that is different (and better in our opinion) than BYU creamery. We recommend the biscoff and honeycomb!

Cubby's is quickly becoming a Utah staple, you'll see them in almost every town like it's Chik-fil-A. But they are pretty good for lunch, we often get a sandwich and salad. Definitely get an order of their fries, they have some fun flavors worth trying.

We love Moon's Rare Books! It's about a 10-15 min drive from downtown Provo but if you go on the weekends Mr. Moon himself is there and he'll give you a special tour of some of his most rare collectibles. Includes things like rare movie props, super super rare books (like King James' very own King James Bible, Charles Dickens originals, a letter from Dr. Suess). Truly worth a visit!

Much shorter and paved walk than Stewart Falls. We don't recommend hiking to the top like you'll see people doing, it's really unkept and not worth the quad workout. The view from below is much better.

Cute Shops

Super cute plant store, they've recently started adding some additional things like planters, cards, and home goods. Worth a little stroll when they're open.

Costumbres y cultura

Most places are closed Sundays

Because of the heavily Christian community here in Provo, you'll find that most places are closed on Sundays. Google is pretty much always accurate on places being open so I'd double check there before committing to something!
