Found this place because it was close to our hotel and what a find! Fresh baked scones are masterful! Coffee excellent. Reindeer breakfast burritos great. A lighter sausage than pork, well spiced, harissa on the side.
Service was friendly and atmosphere fun. Highly recommend!!

This is by far the best coffee shop in Anchorage and maybe even in Alaska. We’re talking miles above the competition. The owner is incredibly meticulous in selecting the highest quality, coffee beans, and roasting them with devout precision. He has answers for every possible question you might have about a particular brew. The staff is tremendously knowledgeable and friendly. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to over and over again for the coffee and the community. Truly cannot say enough about this place. Side note: they have breakfast burritos that are excellent as well. Pro tip: get a breakfast burrito with a 1$ drip coffee added on!

Amazing coffee and the burrito I had was great. Very friendly staff. I wish we had coffee shops like this where I am from

Coffee shop for real coffee aficionados. Their drip coffee is incredible and always rotating in different origins and flavors.

I come here weekly and enjoy their coffees SO MUCH. They make all their syrups in-house, so the sugar to flavor ratio is well-balanced. They come up with delicious seasonal syrups for their coffees and are always creative. The service is impeccable — the baristas are always friendly and laugh along to my (admittedly) bad jokes. This was a seasonal blackberry vanilla iced americano with blackberry and vanilla cold foam 😍 Thank you friends at Bema! My favorite coffees in town!

Bema’s the kind of coffee shop where you walk in tired and leave buzzing like a caffeinated bee. Elise and Chris are the dream team—serving up smiles and killer pour-overs that’ll make you question why you ever settled for instant. Chris’s house-made syrups are pure wizardry. I’d give it six stars, but they’d probably just brew me another perfect cup to shut me up.

Bema Cafe consistently delivers high quality service, burritos, and cafe. They are attentive to detail and friendly, even when the line is out the door. Their O’Malley Maple breakfast burrito always hits the spot after a morning yoga session.

Excellent coffee & the Redoubt Reindeer Burrito was packed with flavor. House made coffee syrups & salsa make this place stand out that much more. Easy going friendly vibe.

Fantastic for the coffee snobs. Get a burrito, those too are fantastic.

Been experiencing Anchorage’s coffee scene for over a decade now and am convinced that this is indeed the best coffee in town. Possibly one of the best roasters in the state, if not the best. If you haven’t been by yet you’re missing out- and you might need to change your daily coffee habit to make a stop at the Bema cafe 😋

Super friendly staff! Explained the menu and helped me choose a coffee :)

James Scott

Delicious coffee. Several good choices for beans to go. Underrated power couple with Sweet Caribou next door.

Best coffee in town! Expertly roasted, they really know their coffee. Housemade syrups if you’re feeling sweet & delicious burritos if you’re hungry. The baristas are all wonderful- super friendly & very knowledgeable in their craft! Cannot recommend them enough.
