“Sweet Gypsy is a welcome alternative dining space in the Valley. I'm a big fan of all my menu choices so far, except for the disappointing meat calzone. The salads are superb! I usually take home dessert for later, and they don't disappoint. I especially loved their version of carrot cake, but I try something different each time, and they are all great. I live a long way from Palmer, and SG will continue to draw me back. Give it a try.”

“Super friendly environment, wonderful service. The drinks and food have never disappointed.”

“What a great night at Palmer Bar. The vibes were exactly what I hoped for when I wandered in to this local watering hole. The burger was top notch, the drinks were amazing, and Sabra, our server, was the absolute best. She gave good recommendations, was speedy and handling the whole bar by herself, and it was clear the regulars love her, too. I’ll definitely be back when I come through Palmer.”

“Finally got a chance to stop by. Food was amazing. Will definitely be back.”

“Birdhouse Sandwich Co. has had my heart for years now — and for good reason. Every bite from this place reminds me why I keep coming back. The food is consistently amazing, made with care, creativity, and flavor that truly hits the spot. Whether it’s a classic sub or a specials on the menu, it’s always fresh, and filling, A big shoutout to Matt, the mastermind behind the magic. He’s the guy who brings the flavor — not just in the food, but in the experience. His dedication to quality and community shows in everything Birdhouse serves, all at a price that makes it easy to keep supporting. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Palmer’s go to spots. thank you for feeding us well and making every visit feel like a treat! My favorite food items: Tacos, French dip, pastrami, chi-town Italian beef, loaded mash, Mary-J, Cordon Bleu.”

Seriously the best. I come here on my lunch break whenever I’m having a long day and their coffee always makes me feel better.”

“Genuinely some of the best coffee in the state, my husband and I have been coming here for years and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else at this point.

They go above and beyond for their customers in a way that makes you feel right at home, even if you’re just visiting for a few days. Thank you for taking care of us so well for so long! My family would never get anything done in the morning without you.

10/10, best coffee you can get your hands on.”

“We were excited to stop by the bakery after first trying some chocolate chip cookies at a local farmstand. We loved them! The bakery was even better, so many options and the owner was so helpful, friendly, and kind. Can’t wait to try the breads!”

“Lovely atmosphere, super friendly people and incredible Lekker (Tasty) pastries! Coffee is delish!! Give them 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Welcome to Palmer Alaska ❣️”

“If you love a strong Caramel chocolate Frappuccino, THIS is where you need to get it from! It’s not like the expensive place makes(SB.) IT is sooo much better!. SB puts one shot of espresso in a Venti. BrewHaHa puts four! Taste so much better and, it’s cheaper than when I go to SB and ask for three shoots extra of espresso to be added. It’s in Palmer. On the main highway, exit the hospital or Trunk Road exit. Basically stay straight past the hospital as you go through the roundabouts. At the end of Trunk road is a Tesoro. Brew HaHa is in that parking lot. It is so worth it!!!”

“My husband forgot half of our order when he picked it up. We went back and the entire staff was do incredibly friendly and helpful. My initial shock at their very youthful appearance quickly turned to admiration for their ability to work together as a team. The kids are alright!”

“Best wings in the valley!”

“Always tastes exactly like we expect and are used to. Mad Chad's is great every single time. They called to make sure we know they're working on the order when it took a while to go through. Worth it! Will order again and again.”

“Stopped here from Anchorage on the way to Valdez at 7 AM, perfect spot. The baristas were so friendly and helpful, suggesting Whittaker Pass as a good place to visit. We had the reindeer burrito and it was simply delicious. It was filling and hearty but didn’t make us feel sluggish. It was honestly perfect. My vanilla latte was so good too! Better than a lot of big city coffee shops.

Definitely choose here as your stop if you are on the road.”

“Amazing people, everyone was very friendly and kind. We had a great time at karaoke. This is our new hangout on Friday and Saturday nights. We are making some great friends. All the staff are exceptional and cater to your needs. Thank ya’ll for such amazing service!”

“My favorite to-go place for awesome burgers and onion rings. The people here are so nice and friendly too. Very clean and pretty laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the area.”

“This is our go to place for breakfast. We like to sit in the bar for bloody Mary's. Great breakfast with a big variety, TV, and the guy behind the bar is always friendly.”

“Great location- extremely attentive and friendly service. Nice atmosphere and view. We were visiting from out of state and liked it so much we went twice! Food was great (tacos and burgers)- the only thing we weren’t a fan of were the black and blue fries. Yes they were hand cut - but they were too soggy and rather flavorless. But everything else was very good.”

“Very professional! Quick clean work great prices. $$”

“Between running kids around, juggling businesses, and trying to keep life moving, having a GREAT local pizza place nearby is basically a survival tool at this point. 😂🍕 This spot has become one of our family favorites! The pizza is always delicious, fresh, and consistently good — and the people there are just as wonderful as the food. You can feel the community vibe the second you walk in. As a local business owner myself, I absolutely love supporting other small businesses that pour so much heart into what they do. So thankful to have such a great neighborhood pizza place right here in our community! 💛”

“HANDS DOWN Our absolute FAVORITE coffee shop EVER. We currently live in rainier but drive all the way to Fresh start every morning for coffee and its well worth the drive. The coffee isn’t the only thing we look forward to about this coffee shop but the owner and employees are TOP NOTCH! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👌🏼❤️ Will forever have a special place in my heart!!!!!”

“Fresh Sushi has some of the most flavorful sushi hands down. The sushi is always fresh just like its name. The customer service their is excellent. They always greet me with a smile. I would go eat sushi their when ever I'm in town. Thanks for serving great sushi.”

“What a fantastic change from the mid 2000’s when this place was run by a couple running it into the ground. If you remember the place from when they were there, stop in and see the changes. I turned this place off my radar in 2007 when I gave the two owner couple money to pay an unhappy vendor. I assume they are gone because the place is a great hangout spot.”

“Pretty darn good. The valley lack’s a bagel and coffee place as places do in the lower 48. I can confidently say Joe Bagel is that empty hole in the community. I loved the bagel I got the couple of times I went. And the coffee? Wonderful.”

“Love this bar! Great regulars, amazing owners. Fun bubbly bartenders, CHEAP (AND I MEAN CHEAP!!) drinks! So many games and never ever a dull moment at The MooseHead saloon!”

“Cozy Cup is the best and Tianna is amazing! She has beyond exceptional customer service, such good energy, a positive vibe and makes the best drinks. Even when you’re having a tough morning her cheery nature turns it around. If you don’t live in that area, make your way over and try them out. They’ll become your new fave. I highly recommend.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I’m on the fence with the Yes or No It’s 50/50 guess it depends on the day like most places… this one is definitely a hit or miss 🫤 Went years ago & ordered a Chinese menu item Really wasn’t impressed was Dry & not much to get excited about so I didn’t go back for more… Until June of this year bought a couple burgers & they were the Bomb… All young High School aged guys working & they did an awesome job holding it all together from the counter to the lobby I WAS IMPRESSED @ how smoothly they worked together 🙂 Great job fellas 🙂 & then last night happened around 7:30pm We decided to go back because our Previous experience was top notch but last night was the complete opposite 🫤 the young guys working did great the older lady working the counter was Stressed… We ordered & waited… Our food came out only to accidentally be served to a couple who came in well after us… they accepted our food & began to eat… the kiddo working realized the mistake after serving us a single meal which ended up being another customers 🫤 to my husband who didn’t realize it straight away that it wasn’t the one he ordered “ he was hungry after 10 hours of work “ as was I who had to sit there another 20 minutes roughly for mine 🫤 We asked for the other burger to be made to go Since we did pay for it… lady was a bit snarky because we asked for it to be made to our original order 🫤 I understand that mistakes happen but was far from impressed with the overall experience. When ya pay $$$ Roughly $33 plus a tip & the experience becomes a Cluster of WTF !?! They did offer a order of fried mushrooms THANX but really our order should’ve been comped or offered a Free meal next round… Something to make up for it All on their end… I remained polite & tried being patient 🙂 which is not easy when your Hungry & watching other people eat your food JS ! All in All it wasn’t a great date night Experience… they Should’ve done better about making it Right… kudos to they kiddo who atleast offered the mushrooms but come on REALLY 🫤🫤🫤”

“I've been going there every morning for over a year now. Love the coffee and the girls are ALWAYS super friendly. Just talking with them makes my day much better.”

“New owners are amazing. Great food, great atmosphere and motivated to build something great. They aren't looking to just take over and keep it status quo. They are out there active in the community and building towards something.

Which is a lot more than you can say about a lot of hard liquor locations around the state. So many bars are stuck in the mud while they move forward into something big. I'm not fully sure what it will be in the end but I can say with confidence it will be top notch and a locations drawing people for a long time.

Great food
Great people
Great vibe

Amazing place. No this is hand typed. No AI involved.”

“What an amazingly delicious sub, Greek salad and pizza- so glad there’s leftovers so I can enjoy it again :) highly recommend”

“I don’t know about the hotel, but the restaurant is really really good. The service and the food are wonderful and the environment is clean and delightful without music blaring down from above, highly recommend.”
