Yeah, I know....very "middle of nowhere". I just happen to live in an Oregon town that is also "middle of nowhere" status, so I can make the comparison. Here, in a slightly larger town, but very similarly sized, there are about 7 coffee stands. There were none there. Like I said though, the bigger cities in Utah are completely different.
By the way, I am not trying to be combative or anything. Just throwing out my personal experience.
Also, after my visit to Utah, I realized that the state gets an unfair bad-rap. Sure, there are a lot of mormons, blah blah blah, and they do seem to have a bit more social control than religions do in other states, but I came away impressed. I enjoyed my stay there and it kind of changed my mind about the state in general. I had a great time in SLC; saw a concert or two there. I had a great time out on the Bear River National Wildlife Refuge, where my sister was working at the time, flying around the salt marshes on bayou boats. I also had a great time out in the wilderness as we did some hiking and swimming out in the Bear River canyon area. There was a really nice lake in fact east and north of Logan.... I don't quite remember what it was called though. Very beautiul, however.
