“We were in town from Georgia for our family members wedding. Wife and I look for small local restaurants to support. Glad we found this. Loved the food! Came back a second morning. Top notch service as well. We will be back on our next trip to Alaska.“
“Good place to order from early in the morning, I have which only have had two bad experiences one time wasn’t the work places fault but I got cut in line when grabbing a drink so I recommend ordering first lol and second time I ordered a breakfast croissant egg cheese sandwich with an add-on of avocado and bacon and I only got an egg and cheese on it and I had payed extra for the avocado and bacon was too tired and checked when I already left so I didn’t want to come back and it was too early and didn’t want to argue about it so I ate it, still good just mad I payed extra other than that I recommend checking food before you leave incase something is wrong :)“
“All the staff were very sweet and kind to my grandchildren and I!!! We had a sandwich and cocoa and candies! Glass Christmas ornaments…we bought a clamshell w pearls in it for early Christmas surprise for mom and dad! Of course Samovar Tea…a one of a kind to take home!!! A lovely “first” for the twins!!! Thank you to all the staff!!! BTW they carry my favorite stationary!!!!“
“I run a local produce delivery business, Arctic Harvest Deliveries. Two weeks ago, one of our pickup locations was unexpectedly closed for several days because of the snowstorm. The owner of Cafecito Bonito, whom we had never spoken to before, stepped up without hesitation, offering to act as host for the day. Their kindness and generosity are still giving me the warm and fuzzies. This is what community is all about.“
“Nestled in the heart of Anchorage's snowy embrace, this coffee shop offers an unparalleled coffee experience that I've had the pleasure of indulging in. The warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere of the cafe welcomes patrons with open arms, providing a serene haven from the chill outside. With its expansive selection of pastries and beverage options, there's something to satisfy every palate.The baristas are nothing short of exceptional, blending unparalleled skill with genuine warmth. Their expertise in crafting each beverage to perfection is evident, ensuring every sip is a testament to their passion for coffee. Their friendly smiles and attentive service enhance the overall experience, making each visit memorable.“
“I ordered a crepe but didn’t ask about the ingredients until after it was made (I don’t eat pork). When I received the crepe, I asked if there was pork in one of the ingredients and they checked and said there was… then they made me another crepe without any pork and were so nice about it… they also refused to let me pay for another one (even though it was 100% my fault). The service is phenomenal, and the food was so amazing! This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Anchorage from now on!“
“This gem is hidden up in the 5th Avenue Mall food court. It is the best value downtown, and the food is fantastic. The R&R is massive, my kid raved about the breakfast burrito, and may spam musubi with egg was very generous and tasty. I forgot to take pictures because we were busy scarfing food.Both kids asked me to add that the hot chocolate is excellent.“
“I've gone to this coffee shop daily for the last year since I moved into this area. I've been buying a mocha every day for probably the last 2 decades, and I'll drive out of my way for great coffee and service. I got so lucky last year when I moved into this area. The coffee, pastries, the service at this drive-through coffee shop, in my opinion, are absolutely incredible. The coffee is consistently exactly the way I like it, I know the owner uses top grade products, super consciencios about quality, and the people who work there have got to be some of the nicest people in Anchorage. Always a pleasure.“
“Drive up coffee hut. Wait times are usually fairly quick. I have been here with four cars in line and still gotten through quickly. It all really just depends on what the person in front of you is ordering so remember not to be a jerk. The place is my jam! Its always nice to go to a coffee hut where they do a good job. I love they have a punch card, they even offer giftcards. - Great gifts! The team here place some great music and its always a fun time.“
“Cute and quaint little coffee shop in the heart of downtown for your pick-me-up during the workweek. I came for a cold brew, and was offered cardamom-vanilla flavor to add to my coffee. It was absolutely perfect, and added a little extra warm (flavored) spice to my jolt. Definitely check this place out when you want a little somethin' somethin' to add to your day.“
“great job ladies!! best place for a good coffee and you can get the biggest coffee they offer in the convenience of your vehicle. beautiful people who genuinely care about your being happy. don't forget to get your gift cards and punch out card for your next free cofree!!!“
“This coffee shop is hands down the best well known secret of Alaska! Kenley (the owner/ operator) is a gem. my girl and I were in Alaska vacationing this winter and stumbled upon this place, we were not disappointed! This quaint little off the road drive up coffee shop has some of the best vibes and coffee around! Coming from Vegas where everything has to be immaculate or it doesn’t survive, this shop blows the coffee back home out of the water! Phenomenal service from all of her staff, the food is amazing and the cheer will warm you up before the coffee does! If you have ever thought about it, or have skipped over it in the past, then do yourself the favor and get your buns down here now! My only regret is that we didn’t find it sooner, and our trip ends today! Kenley, thank you again and thank you for doing coffee the right way! 10/10 would buy again!“
“I've had donuts all over the country and these are the ones I end up craving! I have a hard time when they go on their yearly vacation for a month - that's when I crave donuts the most (of course haha). They are well priced and so delicious! Shout out to all the bakers, and the owner who makes one of the fillings! A lot of love, time, and effort goes into the donuts and you can tell.I really like their fruity pebble donuts, and the fun donuts they do for some of the holidays.“
“Quantum Laundry always is available when I am needing to do a bunch of laundry. Sadly though, the batista today I would not recommend. She seems a lot younger than the gal who normally works. Then again I never wash on Sunday. Sitting here waiting for my laundry to get done, I have noticed that she seems preoccupied with a guy that seems to be a "boyfriend", as well as taking smoke brakes with him. Coffee was made with sugar free syrup, and the shot wasn't pulled correctly. She also didn't know what a London fog was?? The other gal that I am used to is awesome!“
“I absolutely love this little shop! The vibe is just so calm and quiet compared to the bustle of the other businesses in the strip. The staff is always super friendly! And the coffee always tastes so good! It has such a unique flavor and the syrups taste very fresh - I only have one other place to compare it to and they closed during Covid, they made their lattes with housemade vanilla bean syrup and honey, it was always worth the extra drive, and the lattes here taste just like that! I haven't tried the food yet but it always sounds so tasty. I would definitely recommend stopping by.“
“They have the BEST RED BULL SMOOTHIES EVER.. They are super friendly as well.. Only one little negative and it's the parking lot is super bumpy around the coffee shop... Oh yeah and they ARE OPEN 24 HOURS That is a HUGE plus Definitely recommend this play to “
“This is a popular place with free wifi and lots of people taking advantage of the wifi and operating multiple computers - as such it is a little hard to find a table at times. The atmosphere is comfortable but the lack of seating and ability to have a quiet conversation is troublesome at times. The staff has been tremendous always answering questions and the coffee simply GREAT.Parking: There is parking around back but the two times I have been to this coffee shop the parking lot has been packed. They also have a drive thru that seems to have a constant stream of cars.Kid-friendliness: My friend and I met during the week and this is a popular place for the afterschool crowd.“
“I was in Anchorage for a few days and AE was within walking distance—but well worth it. I have a dairy allergy but their vegan breakfast sandwich is amazing and we loved the atmosphere and everyone we met! Lobby is closed due to COVID but they had outdoor seating for us and we got to use the walk-thru. Will be back the next time I’m in town!“
“Sad to see so much negative feedback after personally only ever having had exceedingly positive visits to Mocha Masters. The woman working the stand has always been kind and cordial if not chipper even at some visits. Not trying to downplay others' experiences, however. I've just never experienced any rude or dismissive behavior by any stretch of the imagination...maybe you just caught her on an off day? No one can be 100 all of the time. All of that being said, this lady knows her way around fun drinks! If you like redbull smoothies, mangonadas, etc with all the goodies and fixings at a reasonable price then you gotta check this place out. Yeah, it takes a little longer than some shops to make the drinks but it's honestly pretty fast considering how much extra effort is put into them. If you like mangonadas, I've tried every place in town that offers them and hers are some of the best! Give it a go!“
“I am a local mobile notary I own Alaska Mobile Notary Services right next to you guys and you guys are like my favorite coffee place convenient and the online ordering is awesome!! Thank you for being in Spenard #KeepSpenardWeird #AlaskaMobileNotaryServicesKid-friendliness: Free whip cream“
“Always have a great experience with each barista, and if it's not to the liking they always ask what they can do to make it better! Very CLEAN, Kind and customer service is over the top even if they don't necessarily love you. Drinks are always gorgeous and the candies and little extras they've made for my babies is always a nice kid friendly plus too.“
“First time visiting. Sandwich menu was explained and I chose the Jive Turkey. I also got a sugar free iced drink. The sandwich was excellent from the first bite to the last. The iced drink was also excellent. Did I mention the excellent service? I will definitely be going back… thank you for the great experience!“
“I called in an order and the lady on the other end was super sweet! If you’re curious, you can pay over the phone and they do accept Apple Pay :)I ordered the mango greens, super good but I barely tasted any mango but overall I really loved the smoothie and it definitely filled me up.Im still giving it a 5 star because my fiancé said that when we went to pick the drink up he was offered some samples of the juices and he loved it way better than the other juice shops around town and this is coming from a man that’s picky ?Definitely will be back to try the food and juices!“
“I have never had a problem with this place until today. Please pay attention when making someone’s drink. The ladies were chatting the entire time while my drink was being made and she messed it up twice. If someone says no cream and no whipped cream how can you expect someone to enjoy their drink?“
“I typically avoid drive thru espresso stands because it's hard to tweak my drink ( yes I have multiple parameters) but Kelsa is experienced at crafting espresso drinks and nailed it on my americao, also the March Lotus drink special with green apple, kiwi and lime was a hit with my passenger. Must try this place and on Saturday she features fresh made brioche donuts made especially for her!!“
“I got the best white mocha of my life here today (I usually like to add raspberry too) I wanted to walk back in and give the barista a pat on his back. It was delicious. It's always a risk going to smaller coffee shops but the reward was WELL worth it. It's great.“
“I go to the hut in front of value village on Northern lights and Boniface. The baristas there are so freaking nice and fun! and they always make a lovely drink. My brother often takes me to work in the morning and if we have time we stop by, they generally fast, and so welcoming when you pull up. and their monthly specials are always fun to check out and try! Definitely a favorite of mine.“
“Rustic Goat was an excellent experience. The food was delicious, the local beer list was nicely put together, and the staff were so warm and welcoming. My husband and I shared the Caeser salad, scallops, airline chicken, and tiramisu and all of this filled us to the brim and left us with happy tummies. It was my birthday dinner and the staff all made me feel special as well. Would highly recommend this place for dinner.“
“The coffee was really good! The atmosphere is more for business than on it comfort if that makes sense? It's where I'd go to meet up with a casual friend or get some work done, not where I'd go to catch up with a good friend or for a nice reading nook. The baked goods they have are good, more treats than food food.“
“Everything!!! My first visit there was earlier this week with two friends. I ordered the Goat Cheese and Beet Salad. It was out-of-this-world. The encrusted Goat Cheese was extraordinary. It was warm with a delicious crispy outside and a warm soft goat cheese inside. There were 3 on the salad and I could only eat one. I brought the other 2 home, warmed them up in my toaster oven and again they were amazing even the next day. The salad was huge. I also brought half of it home. The Basil Balsamic dressing was perfect and the candied pecans were huge and amazing too. The whole salad was wonderful with the combination of the other ingredients. It came with a yummy warm homemade biscuit. I also ordered their Tomato Basil Soup and it was the best I have ever had and it is a favorite of mine and I have ordered it at many other restaurants. It too came with a biscuit. For dessert I ordered the Chocolate Thunder Cake which I took home. I have had it in small slices, warmed up, with vanilla ice cream and I still have lots of slices to go. It totally melts in your mouth. I am a dark chocolate lover and it was the best. I am going to Sis’s Cafe again tomorrow with another friend!! Silver“
“5 stars all day everyday. Dads in town and this is our first stop every morning. Get your danish while you wait, sit down and enjoy. We love the sitting area, it's really good people watching. Enjoy the hot bar if it's ready or the soup bar. You get a roll and butter with each cup you purchase. My favorite is the unstuffed cabbage roll soup. Killer soup with a little kick. When they have it I always get 2 or 3 so i have it for a couple of days. All in all please stop by and say hi to the wonderful people that work here. They are amazing.“
“Melissa makes the best drinks in town. But, they recently hired someone new whose skills come close. Today, the lady at Boniface made my drink to perfection. She was also quite charming and easygoing. Good service, good conversation, and good vibe. Highly reccomend!“
“Very nice! First time here and am wondering why. Service with smiles, great food, great beverages, clean, spacious, well decorated, lots of electrical outlets throughout and lots of natural light. Just finished a breakfast burrito and find myself not wanting to leave. “
“This place is seriously so underrated! They have some of the best (my #1 favorite) coffee in all of Anchorage! The frappe is one of my favorites as well as just the regular plain coffees. Super rich and flavorful! The waffles here are delicious as well and very customizable. I can’t recommend this place enough!“
“These burritos are the best in town. Sick of ingredients being split into sections in your breakfast burrito? Fret no more! These guys ensure that every bite is full of each component of the burritos. Great coffee and friendly service make going here a no-brainer.“
“I don't drink coffee, but my friend and I travel together a lot and we spend almost every morning of our trips searching for a coffee place. And then she almost always ends up dumping the coffee out because she doesn't like it. We happened upon heavenly cup and miraculously the coffee met her high standards to the point that we went back the next morning! And the coffee girls were both really nice each morning.“
“I ordered dinner to be delivered tonight from South through Door Dash. I ordered Montecristo, and a Caesar salad with fried chicken on the side. The restaurant had to call me because they don’t offer a Montecristo. It was just a bug with the new system because they just started using DoorDash this week. So I opted for a bacon cheeseburger. Jason the FOH Manager was awesome and quick to remedy the situation.The burger was delicious. Juicy, still warm, melty cheese, bacon, perfectly toasted bun.The side of fries was crispy.I meant to eat the fried boneless chicken breast cut up on top of my Caesar salad. I tried a bite of it and then I ate it with my hands. Like the classy girl I am.I got two little plastic ramekins with Caesar dressing, and I dumped them out on top of my salad and closed the takeout box. I did a little shaking. It was a fantastic Caesar salad. Zero complaints. I mean, maybe it would’ve been better with the chicken breast on top of it, but it still was amazing. I know everybody thinks a Caesar salad is easy, but it’s not. Everything has to be just right.This is my first time dining at South since I moved back to the great state of Alaska. It was a big hit. I enjoyed it.I’m gonna have to dine in person and get a Montecristo another time.I didn’t take any photos because I was busy eating. Which says a lot actually.“
“My coworker used to live in Anchorage and so while we're here visiting clients for work recommended this place. It doesn't look like much from the outside but let me tell you they have one of the best breakfast burritos I've had on the West Coast. Eight dollars for something the size of what you would get at Chipotle. Packed full of meat, egg and cheese with just a little bit of potato to not overshadow the flavor. Owner was super kind and would definitely recommend coming back. There were large snow drifts all around the drive up only access and had to wait patiently for orders to be made, but it was well worth the wait.“
“THE absolute best coffee — Black Rifle. I don’t understand how it’s any different than other beans, but it is. This place is worth the extra drive out of the way to get an amazing latte or breve and pick up a bag of beans. They’ll freshly grind the beans for you too! I recommend the “Just Black” type.“
“Was an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with our daughter at Fresh Cup Playhouse, she had so much fun playing while we had great coffee. All the families there were really well behaved and friendly, and the food was pretty good too! Can’t think of a better place to stop by with your child than the Fresh Cup Playhouse!“
“It is a nice coffee shop with a great view of the mountains. Inside has the feeling of a nice coffee shop with some art on the walls and a coffee bar with bakery and food items located there as well. The cashier and cook didn't have the best of customer service mannerisms but they still did their job and got the coffee and burrito I had ordered out to me. Still I would recommend making a stop here and getting some coffee and enjoy the mountain views.“
“I have only been here once but I love this place . The interior is first class ! It's beautiful ! I believe it's family run . I commented on how much I enjoyed my taco and the person I told said it was exactly how his mom made them in Mexico . I was also pleased how nicely they served a single taco . It was a very pleasant and satisfying lunch ! The location is great ! They have a rewards program which I think is very cool . I just signed up ! I highly recommended Rafeletos !“
“The sweet lady who made my drink this morning was very friendly. I asked for a gingerbread chia latte and it is by far the best one I have had in my life! The temperature was also perfect! We are just visiting and I will definitely tell anyone visiting to stop here.“
“My very favorite thing about Alaska is Latin Drip. First, their building is painted with GLITTER!!! The service is exceptional every single time. We love those ladies! Coffee is always well-made. Italian sodas with edible glitter for the kids, made special with extra care every time. Since we moved away and can't have Latin Drip, we haven't bought coffee anywhere, because we know we'll just be disappointed. We miss you guys so much!“
“Our go to for coffee on lazy mornings. They're open when most other places aren't (like 5 am). We really enjoy their white chocolate breve and vanilla matcha latte.They also have some breakfast items, I had their cheese bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was a bit dry but still good with cream cheese on it.“
“Oh man,I absolutely LOVE Bell’s nursery but to the owners: PLEASE pick a different Santa and photographer next year. It was pretty bad appearance wise and the inexperienced photographer. Santa looked about 16 with fake hair and boxes stuffed in his chest while the photographer couldn’t figure out how to focus the camera. It took almost 30 min of refocusing as we were trying to keep a toddler in place who was super excited to see Santa and sat very well with a smile up until the 15 min mark. We really want to support Bell’s and figured you would have the best but it was so opposite that we just had to laugh. We have a very funny pic and memory but maybe next year we can get a nice one.4 stars because we still love Bell’s!“
“All the staff were very sweet and kind to my grandchildren and I!!! We had a sandwich and cocoa and candies! Glass Christmas ornaments…we bought a clamshell w pearls in it for early Christmas surprise for mom and dad! Of course Samovar Tea…a one of a kind to take home!!! A lovely “first” for the twins!!! Thank you to all the staff!!! BTW they carry my favorite stationary!!!!“
“Not just the best coffee shop/but in Anchorage but some of the best coffee and chai anywhere in America. Have lived in many states and huge cities and almost nothing compares.I still don’t know what they do with the chai latte. You can buy the same powder and milk and magic bullet but I cannot replicate how good it is.“
“Authentic German baked goods— definitely recommend! Her crumble pastries (apple streusel cake, Streuselschnecke) and bread rolls are a balsam for homesickness; better than most chain bakeries in Germany I’ve visited. The almond corners are reminiscent of the ones in German train station bakeries, but better — not dry! The hot chocolate is unsweetened, giving the customer the liberty to sweeten it to one’s liking. The atmosphere is cozy thanks to the artwork and the big open windows which allow ample sunlight to come in.“
