About Benji's Bakery & Cafe

Benji's Bakery & Cafe is a popular spot in Anchorage, known for its amazing food and drinks. The pastries, particularly the Thai coffee croissant and uber bearclaw, are highly praised. Everything is made fresh, and the owner is very knowledgeable about all of his items, often answering questions and even offering a free pastry. The bakery is becoming increasingly popular, with lines forming before opening and many items selling out quickly. The atmosphere is lively, although some find the loud music a bit overwhelming. Customers enjoy the delicious pastries, with some trying a banh mi and chowder; while the pastries are fantastic, the banh mi's bread can be crumbly, and the chowder is very creamy but not always very flavorful. Despite some inconsistencies in service, the cafe remains a favorite among locals and visitors alike, especially for its delicious taro boba. The banh mi's are good with very good bread, and the prices are reasonable. Desserts are praised as crazy good and innovative, and customers are highly recommended to visit repeatedly. However, customers should come early, as the popular items sell out quickly, and be prepared to spend a significant amount of money. The taro boba milk tea is also excellent, but parents should be aware that the cafe plays loud, explicit music continuously, so taking the food to go may be preferable.
