Crabby people working behind the counter to order. Then charge card goes right to tips before checking out. They did nothing but take my order and be crabby. Why Tip in the 1st place then especially if crabby? Getting tired of it. We split an over priced wrap.

Great place for a quick bite before heading out to nature. Our lattes were good, and the breakfast sammies on english muffins were delicious. Not the kind of place you want to plan a sit down breakfast with a large party, but perfect for single person or 2-3 person parties looking for a quick place with a great atmosphere. I would come here again to get a coffee for the road.

We needed to leave the world of overpriced hotel buffet breakfasts and have a decent and quick local meal during our 1-night stay in Fairbanks...River City Cafe fit the bill of a place that was a) open when we left hungry early in the morning, b) was quick as we just had a little bit of time to see downtown Fairbanks before needing to be back at the hotel for a Riverboat Cruise, and close to other things we wanted to see downtown.
It's an order-at-the-counter coffee shop with a full espresso bar, drip coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. Good options for vegetarians too.
I got an English Muffin Sammie with just egg and cheese. It came with American cheese and there was an upcharge to pick any other cheese they had...I went with Gouda and the sandwich was good.
My wife didn't want bread so they laid it out on lettuce for her...ended up being more like a breakfast salad but it filled her up.
I tried their drip coffee but found it wasn't strong enough for my tastes. They were nice enough to let me trade it back in as a downpayment for a double espresso which they served me in a fine "Alaska" mug and it was much better.
The staff served as quickly and well, though they didn't seem happy to be there. The 2 people we spoke with never smiled and we got the impression we may have been annoying them without special requests (no bread with my wife's sandwich, the different cheese, trading in the coffee) so that was a little bit of a bummer. Still, the food and drink served us well and came out quickly.
It's a good quick stop for an espresso-based coffee drink and quick breakfast meal or pastry. Super close to the ice museum and a couple minutes walk from the Antlers Arch and Cultural Center.

Great wraps and Sammie’s. Oops, forgot to take a picture these are basically 1/2 gone. Bacon, egg, cheese wrap, Sausage, egg, cheese wrap, Ham, egg, cheese Sammie. Went back and ordered a bacon, egg, cheese English muffin Sammie. Good! Then also the Caramel Latte Ice Rage.

Staff are wonderful, very helpful. Salmon salad sandwich and clam chowder very good.
Shout out to River City Cafe for their breakfast wrap. Super tasty and hearty. Would highly recommend for a quick breakfast on the go.

I come here often and I have never experienced such consistent rudeness from an establishment. The three girls that work here have the nastiest and smuggest looks on their faces and they act like you are bothering them when you come in. I have no idea why they are in the service industry if it is such a miserable experience for them. I only come back cause it is a close walk from work and the coffee is decent.

Extremely rude waitress! I found this place because it was listed as celiac friendly and having gluten free items, however customer service lacked to say the least. Maybe because I have an Eastern European accent, who knows, but the lady at the counter was rude to say the least! Not recommend and I def regret tipping her. Food wise, it also sucked. Don’t waste your money here, better eat at the Crepery where there’s great customer service !
Food was good. First time there
