The Writer's Block Bookstore & Cafe

I've really enjoyed hanging out with friends here. My biggest complaint is that it can be hard to hold a conversation when music is playing loudly right in my ears less than ten feet away; second biggest complaint is that it can be hard to find seating, but that's just because it's so popular.

Recently attended a live event here. The food was fantastic, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was great! 10/10 Will nerd out there again. :)

Although the setting was nice, the disrespect was loud. My sister went and performed a spoken word piece for her first time full of excitement! At the end of the night every performer, even one who left was acknowledged for their act, BUT my sister! The speaker looked her right in the face and proceeded to skip over her! As the only black woman in that environment who enjoyed her night and wanted to go deeper into spoken word, this was very disheartening and uncomfortable!

There's not place in Anchorage like it. Great coffee and food, cafe atmosphere, books to browse and purchase, and quite often live music. There's even beer, wine, and cider.

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

It’s always fun to try new-to-us places! We stumbled upon this coffee shop and bookstore on the way to a nearby Japanese event and just had to try it! My sweet, thoughtful & giving sister gave me the gift of doing something fun for my birthday to treat myself and this is what I chose! I’m so glad that I did because it was a great experience. The person who took our order was pleasant, patient, helpful and kind. I had the chai tea latte with soy milk and it was so flavorful and absolutely delicious! I’ve been craving one everyday since! My kids got the cheese panini (grilled cheese) and gave it a thumbs up. I tried Shakshouka for the first time and it was so good! 😋 My kids enjoyed the Wi-Fi and we all enjoyed the live music by Dawson Gentleman. He was transparent, talented and authentic. Parking is limited but that didn’t deter us. A space opened up right as we pulled in which was perfect. 🙂

Atmosphere was great, comfortable seating and music in the background made it relaxing but the service was mediocre. I bought a brownie that was so hard it must have been sitting on display for days.

I went to writers block for the first time on a Sunday at 12pm. I was surprised they had live music playing from 12pm-2pm. They have breakfast /brunch food and coffee. It's such a cute place to grab food and hang out with friends. I will definitely be coming back again
