Middle Way Cafe

Didn’t know sandwiches take 50 minutes to make holy cow! Won’t be coming here again.

I come here every single time I fly into Anchorage. It's sooo good and the portions are huge! My favorite thing is that you can get a bowl of lacinato kale with your meal. But don't get me wrong- you don't have to go greens like I do. The bacon is awesome and the burritos are the size of a puppy lol. My partner says the coffee is great- I always get a green drink like the spicy kale lemonade (not spicy or tart despite the name). They have menus on the entrance counter so you aren't holding up the line deciding. The only thing I struggle with is their amazing pastry display right next to the counter ha. The service is great, it's always clean (especially the bathroom), and it's a really cozy atmosphere. I don't recommend large groups- maybe it's fine but I'd think seating would be difficult to accommodate. Oh, and even though I've never had to wait for a table to open, there's a foyer at the main entrance.

They are proud of the food but I think it's ok and overpriced. A chicken sandwich was $18 and it came with tortillas chips (which you have to upgrade to get salsa-who doesn't want salsa with chips??). It definitely attracts a certain crowd as well, just isn't my cup of tea.

Always a five star experience. Fresh juice, and lots of vegetarian options. Vegan Reuben sandwich and avocado toast are awesome!

Where do you even begin? We waited 50 minutes for flavorless food. My husband now has food poisoning, thanks to his breakfast burrito. He didn’t like it and didn’t finish it. I don’t think a microgram of salt made it into the either of our dishes. The vegan burrito was as flavorless as a meal could be. The only flavor in that entire burrito was the taste of plain potato. Tofu tasted like plain tofu. Who likes plain tofu? I’ve been vegan for almost 8 years and I’d never have eaten THAT outside of shear hunger and desperation for a meal. My side of potatoes weren’t cooked all the way and offered some crunch in the middle instead of the outside. They were just dry and weird like they sit in a warmer or something? I don’t know. The salsa they give you is a tiny little bitty amount that doesn’t help. I ended up drowning my burrito in ketchup so I could eat it. And I don’t like ketchup that much. But, I am pregnant and I was hungry, so I struggled through to get it down. 0/10. Would not recommend. If I’m ever starving and my options are dine at a garbage can, or this place, I’d opt for starvation. I literally have guilt right now for recommending it to my husband. How does this place have any good reviews? I really feel like staff must get paid to make accounts to leave good reviews for themselves.

We went when it was really busy so there was a long wait for the food. However, it was delicious with tons of gluten free options.

Delicious food. Wish tables were cleaned more often for the amount of foot traffic. Was stressful finding a spot to eat because it was so jam packed but I did find one. Place was down to one bathroom which caused a line to back up near guests. Loved the delicious food, some of the freshest I've had in a long time. Plus the smoothie options are awesome. Avocado, sprouts were delightful.

Delicious food! Mexican Benedict was hearty and the Eggs Florantine was lighter, but still amazing ? It is a bit loud in the restaurant, but there is also seating outside

THis is the cleanest tasty food in the area. No loady grease ect. The prices were fair for teh quaility of food. The only issue is that they are a bit slow becuase the do a lot of on-line orders and do not prioritize walk ins. You will want to order everything, becuase it is all good. On our second visit, they lost my order and it took even longer, but I suspect that is rare. I would go back.

Midway Cafe for first time ever ! Disappointed me, I encouraged friends to join me for lunch One with allergies didn’t eat she couldn’t get over past experiences
BLT looked good, but asked for no tortilla chips My soup was like glue, I could not eat. Most disturbing was out sticky table which I mentioned to staff when leaving, did not seem concerned
I’ll be back but please watch atmosphere
Fix bathrooms
