“I love Buckos so much! I have access to a nice espresso machine at home, but I still find myself going to Buckos several times a week when I’m in town working. All of the baristas are the best and make everyone feel so welcomed and the coffee is amazing. I love their specials; they are so creative with their drinks. I definitely recommend Buckos to anyone who wants good coffee in Fairbanks. They are the best!“
“Two nights ago, we passed by the place with cinnamon rolls on our mind after a long day at the hot springs. The next day, after our second and last trip of the Chena Hot Springs, we decided to stop by before having dinner and had some of the best homemade cinnamon rolls that top many other bakeries I’ve tried before! The rolls were cooked to perfection and the interesting choice of having a maple bacon roll surprisingly blends really well that I had to buy one in addition to my standard cinnamon roll! The atmosphere feels homey with relaxing music and adorable souvenirs/trinkets in addition of the wonderful food served here. It’s a lovely experience in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness that anyone passing by should enjoy and I won’t forget as I return to Atlanta within the hour! If I return to Fairbanks, I will for sure return here once again!“
“I love Lu Lu's but on occasion the coffee is burned. Meaning the espresso filter is not being properly cleaned before the next shot. A cup of coffee is expensive these days. I usually go to Little Owl Cafe because their shots are clean everytime. Most places in fairbanks burn the shots on occasion. I just had to dump $3.00 Americano. Yuk.“
“Im here in Alaska for vacation from Florida for a week, and I ate here 4 times!!! Couldn't get enough,Tried other coffee booths here but couldn't compare. Best Chai Latte ever and the Jalapeño biscuit sandwich was stupendous. Definitely will come back on my next winter “
“The vegan options are clearly labeled (there's a vegan section on the menu) and our group tried all 3 of the food options from it. They were all really good and filling! I got the vegan sub and added vegan cheese, all the veggies on it were great and the cheese melty. The spiced chai was a little sweet for my preference but it is vegan!“
“This coffee hut has the best sparkling lemonade. Also the staff is so nice especially Acacia. I forgot my wallet and Acacia said not to worry about it I could just pay extra next time. Now that is awesome customer service! Thank you so much I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend this coffee hut!“
“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!“
“I love their tea lattes you can customize with herbal tea - that's rare to find and they're actually tasty. Really appreciated this for the salad and fresh veggies and vegan baked goods. A great combo! It was a treat to find this place in Fairbanks where I wasn't expecting much“
“Sunrise is the perfect go to coffee shop. They are always fast getting food and drinks out, and it is always good quality!Vegetarian options: They have a lot of great options if you don't eat meat, and they have multiple non-dairy choices for coffee as well.“
“Updated menu as of November 2023.Ordered the loaded burrito. It was loaded indeed with too much cheese. The horchata coffee special was good, but the flavor definitely overpowered the taste of coffee or not sure if there was even coffee in it. I just assumed since it said "coffee special".“
“We had the Hot Chocolate here. It was good but not the best in Fairbanks, at least from our very short experience.The service was excellent, and the person serving us was super friendly.We probably should have tried a few other drinks too but we didn't have enough time with everything else to try at Fairbanks.Overall a good place.“
“We visited this cafe twice. The vibe is cozy and warm. Lots of art pieces throughout the cafe to admire.We ordered hot chocolate, cappuccino and con panna. All were well crafted. Coffee drinks are strong. They also roast their own coffee beansParking: On a busy day, one may need to park and walk to the cafe“
“let me start off with this: I only buy coffee at coffee shops because my dog loves when people give her treats.. the pup cup she received was the best one ever with bacon bits and dog pepperoni sticks. good job! coffee is amazing as well. we will come again!“
“I got an Iced Breve, and a works bagel sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was amazing, they had everything bagels, and that made it even better. The works has bacon, sausage, Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese. It was amazing, and honestly I was full until dinner. My coffee had great flavor, I mean it's an easy drink. But it's also an easy drink to make bitter, or to make with too much half&half. My only complaint is that it needed more ice. I will be going again tomorrow, for sure.“
“Stumbled across this phenomenal company while in fairbanks and it is definitely one of the better coffee/cafe drive throughs I’ve been to! Fair prices…10/10 quality…quick service. You won’t be disappointed by anything on the menu even if your brain is telling you vegan.“
“My go to place!! Their monthly specials are to-die for, they're extremely creative and delicious. Their food selection is by far the best out of all coffee shacks locally, imo. Their coffee is delicious. Their baristas are friendly, and not your typical bubbly young teen (which can sometimes be overwhelming). And the wait time is very reasonable and often quick.“
“My son and I just got done eating biscuits and gravy, for the very first time here and the biscuits and gravy were very peppery, and perfect temperature. It was delicious for a quick breakfast for 7.99 each, that’s great deal ,four yummy biscuits and a bowl full of gravy has small bits of sausage chunks was great portions. What was surprising is my son got a cookies and cream milkshake with whipped cream on top and it really helped through the hotness of our food to be able to stay there and eat it all, it was perfect. Just what we wanted. Without the cookies and cream milkshake drink, we have not been able to finish. No water was served and there was two young ladies working that didn’t say anything extra, very quiet and relaxing for a 8 am morning . I would give us a four out of five stars for a cute small little café, with many choices for food or drinks to choose from.“
“The husband and wife shop is 4-5 min walk to the Westmark hotel. Very convenient for tourists like us. The breakfast bowls and burritos we ordered were very tasteful. The price was reasonable. They were very friendly and even give discounts to military and 1st responders.“
“SO HAPPY I found this place !!! Closest coffee place to downtown. It is a coffee stand/drive through just so everyone knows. Don’t let that stop you from walking over to grab a great coffee.It’s a super easy close walk from your hotel if your downtown.If your looking for real coffee (Americano, Espresso,Latte….) They use a delicious smooth,rich,creamy espresso (none bitter ,none acidic) from Costa Rica. So delicious!!!! Friendly cute baristas is always a plus and they breakfast burritos are awesome.“
“Perfect stop for a quick lite breakfast and delicious coffee and chai tea! Staff was super friendly. Double drive through (or walk up) convenience! Loved the crispy bacon, egg and cheese bowl! Best chai latte I've had in weeks! Was out of almond milk but very good latte.“

“Loved the coffee, ambience, and the service! Kudos to the team! This place is a must visit if you are in Fairbanks.Coffee: large variety of selection. We laughed about not being able to understand the different types of coffee mentioned on the list but the taste made up for it!Ambience: it is quiet, peaceful. There are some board games if you want to spend some quality time. They provide WiFi (although it didn’t work when I tried)Service: excellent. They answered our questions, were patient, and overall good experience.“
“Service was very professional and lively. My 10 year old and I were visiting from out of town and were fully satisfied with the strawberry cheese cake crepe, and salmon avocado crepe but mostly the welcoming laid back hospitality. Thank you!“
