Bagels Restaurants in Fairbanks, AK

“Thank you Lulu’s for supporting local teachers and their classrooms with your monthly specials! With your help I will be able to take my class on field trips this May without having to ask for extra funds from families. Our school is closing this year, so it will be great to be able to give my students some amazing memories. Thank you for your support! Also, the coffee and bagels are the best!“

“First meal of my travels after an unpleasant experience at the Fairbanks airport. Was there at 730am, and the lady was so friendly and helpful. Coffee was great and cinnamon bun was to die for. Appreciate the chirpy spirit in the cold cold winter“

“I had a great experience at this coffee shop! The coffee was fresh and flavorful, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It’s a lovely spot to visit!!! I’ll definitely be coming 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 😀“

“The bagel to sausage and egg ratio is always a bit off, but everything tasted good and the baristas were very bubbly and quick.

My one additional complaint for knocking off a star would be that I purchased two $15 gift cards and the gift cards I got were definitely not new. They’re scratched up and have been reused multiple times and I didn’t get to pick which card patterns I wanted. The patterns I was given work fine, but it would’ve been nice to get a shiny new card with my pattern of choice, instead I got some that are covered in scratches and designed more for Valentine’s Day and a birthday rather than Christmas or generic brand cards. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a gift card that has already been used before, so it feels pretty tacky gifting them to someone else when it looks like I pulled some old crap out of my wallet to regift like a lazy jerk. I got what I needed, it was just disappointing to be honest.“

“Hands down, the absolute best coffee Pagoda in Fairbanks! Food is amazing and actually makes you think you got it at a gourmet restaraunt. Head's and tails above any of the other coffee pagodas in the state! Don't leave without trying their real fruit, totally customizable smoothies! You'll be sorry if you miss it!“

“UPDATE: I cannot locate my original review, it wasn't good, 2 stars. Ugly sandwich pic that I have now deleted. These folks asked me to reach out. I did. We all agreed, bad sandwich. They gave me a gift card refund with a little plus. I returned to the hut of the original review (Sadlers parking lot) I placed the same order. The food was lovely this time. See pic for evidence. And I'd have raised my stars up to 4. But today, the gal there really connected with me for a minute and really lifted me up. She absolutely did not have to do that. And for that, I give 5 stars! Thank you so much! ?“

“Loved the mango smoothie! Service is quick, not much waiting. Lady was nice. I like the part of town convenient. Drinks are expensive, but we get what we pay for, fresh hot foods too. Drive through or easy walk up. Next time I will try Red Bull kicker!“

“I love coming here both on and off work. It’s drastically improved since I first started coming (back in 2009) and the people are pretty exceptional. If I could just critique one thing when taking orders, read them back to the customers ordering them so the people behind the counter have it right. It’s extremely helpful and that way they know they’re getting the right orders. That’s all! Everything else is WONDERFUL!“

“love the food and the staff is amazing!“
