About Back Woods Coffee

Back Woods Coffee is a popular drive-through coffee stand that offers tasty and worth-it on-the-go food options, along with consistently smooth and delicious coffee, premade snacks, refreshing teas, energy drinks, and non-caffeinated beverages. The Iliamna breakfast burrito remains a staple, especially with all the fixings and the optional addition of guacamole. Customers appreciate the Iced Gingerbread coffee and meat breakfast burritos for their reasonable prices and generous portions. Their mocha (and mocha breve) is either the best in town or ties with some of the best in Fairbanks. The lattes are a reliable treat, and the shots are pulled well, though it is wise to be cautious with added syrups as they can get quite sweet. Known for its fast and friendly service, Back Woods Coffee is a must-visit for field work excursions and is popular for its vegetarian options and consideration of dietary restrictions. Some customers have noted that the coffee can be warm rather than hot and that staff may not always be punctual. Even with limited parking, the dirt lot near the building is suitable for the business type. This welcoming place is safe for kids from the nearby elementary school and is a great stop for something on the way to work in the morning or for lunch.

Staff are very rude, could not accommodate customer needs with ordering; made London Fog in previous visits very incorrectly. Staff need to learn their drinks better could use a lot of improvements. Upon third visit, lost me as a customer. this is unfortunate since I live with in close vicinity my family will not be back.

Best coffee shop in Fairbanks hands down. I have 4 gift cards in my wallet to other places around town and never use them because backwoods coffee is perfect every single time. I order a 16oz white mocha, half sweet, extra shot everywhere I go and backwoods tastes the best!! Most coffee shops in town are entirely too sweet. Glad they have two locations now 😀

I’m addicted to the English muffin sandwich with egg, cheddar, and sausage or ham (best one in town). Pair that with a great latte, and there’s my lunch — nearly every day! I’m a creature of habit, but one of these days I’m going to be adventurous and try a different sandwich, most especially the BALTO. The baristas are very friendly, and the owner is very quick to respond to a small concern and to rectify it. I highly recommend this coffee stop!
