Outstanding! It’s been 8 long years since I’ve had a ham/cheese croissant made in the traditional French way and it was a delight to discover this wonderful bakery and the aforementioned croissant. Enjoyed some delicious danishes before returning a second time for some baguettes to accompany leftover Christmas dinner! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The food is great, as always! Unsurprisingly it gets busy depending on the time of day, but they motor through the line quite efficiently.

Although I love this place, the only thing that I do not understand and triggers me is that I always see so many people in the kitchen using their cell phones in the baking areas. I always spot someone handling their phone in and out of pocket. It is very unsanitary. Please, have a no cell phone policy in the kitchen. Also, clients waiting in line next to the small window are right next to the food and can easily get contaminated. I ordered a Focaccia that was on display and I could easily breath on it if I wanted to while waiting.

I'm a little surprised this place is so popular. The baked goods were only ok. Realistically they lacked flavor. It could be that I am used to having too much sugar and salt, so perhaps they're healthier than I'm used to, which is why in giving it a 4 still.

The only thing I'm mad about is how many times I've visited Anchorage without trying this place! The all-day pastry case is AMAZING, full of surprises, and very innovative. They also have fresh baked loaves of bread for sale and a good selection of breakfast/lunch sandwiches. Summary of what I've tried:
Sandwiches: Their avocado and egg breakfast sandwich blew my mind -- the subtle sweetness of the bun mixed with the rich runny egg/avocado and fresh, herby, pickled greens works magic. I'm usually not a fan of egg salad, but their messy egg salad and avocado sandwich might be one of the first ones I've liked, and I'd happily eat it again.
Pastries: The raspberry lemon scone was a 10/10 -- mostly savory, buttery, and soft inside, with a nice crispy crust, and slight sweetness and tartness to balance it out. Similarly, the apple gruyere sage scone had perfect textures and a great sweet/rich, plus some good herbiness. This is exactly what a scone should be! Also, their chocolate chip cookies are thick, gooey, and close to perfection
Breads: I got day-old campagne, and it was still plenty fresh, had good textures, and very tasty sourdough. It lasted about 3 more days at room temp before it started to lose a little fresh quality. The rustic wheat was the same high quality; I'd happily either any day.
It's an easy environment to soak up inside the market, though sitting room can be hard to find at peak hours. Good luck not buying one of everything when you come in! This place is a must-visit when I'm in Anchorage from now on! Their servers are excellent people, too. Be sure to cross the hall and pair your sandwich/pastry with some coffee from That Feeling Co (best coffee in town, IMO). Dynamic duo!
Parking: There's a small lot with 30-minute parking. Otherwise, there's metered street parking in the area.
Super nice atmosphere, variety of super tasty and beautiful breads, delicious sweets, some very sweet, others average...

Every item I have had from this place has been dry, bland, and tasteless. I thought maybe it was one bad experience but now that I've been back a handful of times, I can say I would not recommend this place to anyone. Cupcakes should not crumble into dust in your hand and bread should not cut the roof of your mouth and leave your face covered in powder.

Really really really good bakery. The baked goods were absolutely delicious. I got a lemon raspberry scone, Alaska berry scone, Carmel delight, Carmel tart, and a coconut macaroon… everything was delicious (especially the Carmel items and scones) and I will definitely be coming back. I honestly should have gotten a bread as well because they looked great.
This little indoor market with a coffee shop, bakery, juice bar, produce stand, etc. is perfect for Alaska--you get all the pleasant interactions of a market but stay warm and toasty inside with lovely big windows for light to fill the space. Fire Island is a great local bakery that's always popular but this locale is really fun.
As for the food--a pan of fresh cruffins came out just as we got to the front of the line. I was a little skeptical, never having had a cruffin and seeing the $7 price tag, and I wasn't really hungry anyway, but was going along for the ride with someone who was. After one bite I changed my mind. The pastry was light and golden and airy but what killed it was the passion fruit curd inside. That stuff is amazing. I will dream about it tonight.
Really good bakery, amazing pastries. Love the location because you can also get an awesome cup of coffee and

Stopped in for breakfast & was happy with my sandwich (sausage & egg) and coffee (pumpkin chai). The only thing I would suggest changing is to ask for butter on my sandwich; even with the yolky egg, it was a little dry. Would absolutely return

Their bread is crusty, artisanal, and simply delicious, but I hope they offer more training for new employees, particularly in clear communication and product knowledge.

High quality food and very efficient ordering line. Limited seating, and it's seat yourself.
