The Robin's Nest

The Robin's Nest is a catering business in Salt Lake City, UT. It operates as a casual cafe in downtown Salt Lake City, preparing soups, salads, and sandwiches for the lunchtime crowd. Founded by Salt Lake City native Robin Paluso, the cafe draws on her years of practice in the culinary arts and a belief that sandwiches deserve better than the ordinary. The menu features original gourmet recipes served Monday through Friday from 11AM to 2PM and on Saturdays from 12PM to 3PM, with the shop closed on Sundays.

The menu is built around signature creations with names like The Rooster Call, The Cowboy, The Gobbler, Fancy Dan, Madame, Not So Average Joe, The Robin's Club, and the New Yorker. The Rooster Call is Robin's take on a Southern chicken salad, layering all-white-meat chicken breast, red grapes, cashews, Provolone, and a Sweet Honey Dijon on Italian ciabatta. The Cowboy stacks Prime medium roast beef, fresh tomatoes, red onions, pickles, organic leaf lettuce, melted Swiss, and a homemade sun-dried tomato and horseradish spread on marble rye. The Natural sandwich has been called the "Best Veggie Sandwich in the City" by CityWeekly, an award the cafe received in 2011. No trans-fats or MSG are used, and most of the produce is organic. Catering is offered alongside the daily lunch service, bringing the same recipes to off-site events.

The Robin's Nest operates from 83 East 300 South in downtown Salt Lake City, where it has become a destination for downtown workers looking for a serious midday meal. The cafe is run by Robin herself, and the menu reflects her personal standards for ingredients and flavor combinations that go beyond standard deli fare. Catering clients can bring the cafe's sandwiches, soups, and salads to their own gatherings, drawing on the same kitchen that built the downtown lunch following. As a downtown Salt Lake City caterer, The Robin's Nest offers a focused lineup built on originality, quality ingredients, and Robin Paluso's hands-on approach to the food she serves.
