27 Best Cafes in Anchorage

“CASH/CHECK ONLY. Classic diner experience. Very generous portions. Staff was very kind and attentive. We had a small wait for a large table due to our party size (6) and they even brought us coffee outside while we waited. Highly recommend.“

“Nina, the owner was kind enough to set up a special tea party for me and my out of town guest. Her shop has a large selection of loose leaf teas and it was busy in there but she was patient and helped us find something we liked, even offering us a sample of their house tea. The tea sandwiches were flavorful and delicate. The doughnuts were so good!!! There’s so much to see in this little shop and plenty of delicious treats. I will be back!“

“Highly recommend. Good food, good coffee, great vibes.“

“Birch & Alder where have you been my whole life?! Tucked away roadside coffee shop, the burrata sandwich on focaccia is nothing short of a culinary success. The creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto (wow) perfect! Layers of fresh brightness, but the zhoug sauce (double wow)! When I say it’s a 10 out of 10, I really mean it’s an 11 an absolute must try for anyone chasing the ultimate sandwich experience. Nothing but smiles:)“

“I just love this place. There are very few places that I regularly visit but this is probably the only place where I was remembered as a customer. My main barista is also awesome. She creates coffee flavors that are fantastic for my taste and I also enjoy my lotus smoothies.“

“Everything!!! My first visit there was earlier this week with two friends. I ordered the Goat Cheese and Beet Salad. It was out-of-this-world. The encrusted Goat Cheese was extraordinary. It was warm with a delicious crispy outside and a warm soft goat cheese inside. There were 3 on the salad and I could only eat one. I brought the other 2 home, warmed them up in my toaster oven and again they were amazing even the next day. The salad was huge. I also brought half of it home. The Basil Balsamic dressing was perfect and the candied pecans were huge and amazing too. The whole salad was wonderful with the combination of the other ingredients. It came with a yummy warm homemade biscuit. I also ordered their Tomato Basil Soup and it was the best I have ever had and it is a favorite of mine and I have ordered it at many other restaurants. It too came with a biscuit. For dessert I ordered the Chocolate Thunder Cake which I took home. I have had it in small slices, warmed up, with vanilla ice cream and I still have lots of slices to go. It totally melts in your mouth. I am a dark chocolate lover and it was the best. I am going to Sis’s Cafe again tomorrow with another friend!! Silver“

“Cup on the Run is my favorite coffee hut in Anchorage! The baristas are so nice and their service is usually quick, they’re affordable, and the drinks are always excellent! Their seasonal menu always has something delicious on it. If you’re looking for recommendations, they always make a great blueberry white mocha and raspberry-hibiscus red lotus!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresh Cup Playhouse is such a wonderful place for families! The play area is adorable and so thoughtfully set up for kids, and the café side makes it a perfect spot for parents to relax too. You can really tell how much care and love has gone into creating this space—it’s such a gem for the community!“

“Their fire weed cold brew iced coffee is absolutely Amazing. coming all the way from Boston Massachusetts. big shout to steam dot. love this cold brew without a doubt“

“Our office always orders their breakfast burritos for our work meetings. Because their burritos are so huge we get their mini burritos. I don't know whether that's even an option but because we order from them often that's why we're given that option. The owners are awesome people as well. Thank you for always pulling through for us and our many requests Shan!!!“

“Incompetent employees, manager doesn’t care. They don’t get your order right and over charge what they tell you the price is.“

“Absolutely love this place. The girls are always amazing. They so friendly and always ask where my dogs are when I don’t bring them. They always make our drinks perfectly and my husband has a complicated drink and they nail it every time. I can’t recommend this place enough. I always ask for a surprise lotus and I have never had one I don’t love. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face and making me feel welcomed.“

“Smaller menu... primarily salads, soup, sandwiches and burgers, but it is tasty and enjoyable food at a decent price point. Located inside the ConocoPhillips Building, so some informal dining space is available in the rather large lobby area.“

“delicious. got spicy reindeer sausage“

“Their food is really good!“

“The tacos are so yummy! The ingredients tastes fresh. And the portions are generous! Looking forward to my next visit. Oh and friendly service too.“

“Not just the best coffee shop/but in Anchorage but some of the best coffee and chai anywhere in America. Have lived in many states and huge cities and almost nothing compares.I still don’t know what they do with the chai latte. You can buy the same powder and milk and magic bullet but I cannot replicate how good it is.“

“While visiting our son at J-BER We ate at The White Spot, amazing Halibut Sandwich. Wish they had merchandise, I would buy a sweatshirt!!!!“

“First time visiting. Sandwich menu was explained and I chose the Jive Turkey. I also got a sugar free iced drink. The sandwich was excellent from the first bite to the last. The iced drink was also excellent. Did I mention the excellent service? I will definitely be going back… thank you for the great experience!“

“Ordered Hawaiian burger no ham with fries. Juicy delicious one of the best burgers intown I have tried. Grilled onions the grilled red peppers n grilled pineapple on top of wonderful beef patty cheese lettuce tomato and warm bun. Will return for more..“

“A short 10 minute walk our hotel. Angry Flying Pig on croissant was delicious. My hard to please husband enjoyed every bite of his sandwich! Would highly recommend! Thanks from your Idaho visiting customers!“

“Not sure why Google has this spelled wrong but it's KODIAK KUP. The girls here are always super friendly and make not only a great cup of hot coffee but their blended drinks, fraps, Red Bull, Lotus, everything is yummy! I like the bagels and breakfast burritos in the morning but sometimes at lunch I'll get a ham n cheese croissant with chips and drink lunch special, or after work I'll grab a cookie, muffin, or pretzel with cheese! Definitely my favorite coffee shop in Anchorage!“

“Service. Care. Convenience. The people!“

“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!!“

“Best place for breakfast. So many options. It’s a must every time I visit Anchorage!“
