This coffee shop is amazing and I wish it were within close proximity to my home. It’s so cozy and the coffee offerings are fabulous. There’s even the “Crow’s Nest” play area for young kids. I was on a kid-free trip and *almost* wished I had my daughter with me to experience Whale’s Tail and Cordova.

This is the best coffee shop in Cordova. Doesn't matter if you are staying at the Orca Lodge, it's open to passer-bys. Excellent atmosphere and menu. Grab a hot cup of Joe and walk the coastline, see the otters, watch the birds and the salmon swim by. This is an outdoor paradise in Cordova. Prices are fair for the location. Both men and women's bathrooms on site.

This is always a favorite stop in Cordova. The cannery has such an authentic look, and I love taking my hot tea outside to drink on the dock watching the boats and otters. When it’s rainy, I can cozy up inside, and I love the kids play area. It is really nice for relaxing while your kid plays without worry of them disturbing other patrons. The food is yummy, the drinks are good, and the staff are so kind!

Coffee, tea and frappe’s were all really good. Interesting place to visit, meet and greet the locals (we met a professional photographer, David, who was really nice. The owner Wendy is VERY nice, she’s your friend immediately.

Great coffee and delicious food. Also great stickers for souvenirs. Loved the music which gave it the perfect coffee shop vibe. Also had an upstairs for kids.
