Gramercy House food permit appears in Salt Lake County records

Overview

Updated Sep 12

Salt Lake County's public health permit list now includes Gramercy House, a tea and coffee shop planned for 569 E 2nd Ave in the Avenues neighborhood. The food establishment record was on the list when it was checked September 12, 2026.

The permit is one approval, not the finish line. Gramercy House's website says it is still building out the space with Kickstarter support, and no opening date is posted.

Why it matters

A new neighborhood spot for tea, coffee, and events has been granted a license in Salt Lake City's Avenues.

Scenarios

1

Gramercy House opens in the Avenues

Likely Resolves by Q2 2027

Discussed by: No formal analysis; the business's own Kickstarter campaign and website signal intent to open

Gramercy House completes its buildout, passes any remaining inspections, and begins serving customers at 569 E 2nd Ave. Its website promises quality beverages, ready-made food, and a community event space.

2

Gramercy House opening slides past mid-2027

Possible Resolves by End of 2027

Discussed by: No formal projections; buildout timelines commonly slip for new food businesses

The business needs more time to finish construction, secure additional permits, or reach its Kickstarter goal. The permit record stays active but no opening date is set.

3

Gramercy House permit lapses; project stalls

Unlikely Resolves by End of 2027

Discussed by: No formal analysis; permit lapse is a low-probability outcome for an active campaign

Funding shortfall or buildout problems lead the business to abandon or pause the project. The food establishment permit record is withdrawn or expires without the shop opening.
