A star off because the tea I ordered had a ton of tea leaves in the tea. Not exactly appetizing. But I loved the atmosphere and a great place. It’s difficult to judge based on a single drink.

Great place to hang out and get coffee, lunch or a drink. Anchorage could use more places like this. Just needs a few more gluten-free options!

I stopped by for some great coffee and a snack on my way to the airport. Really wish I had gone earlier in the week, because I would have gone back multiple times. Love the bookstore/library vibe. Staff was very nice!

The atmosphere is a little chaotic for me. But I always love a place where I can grab a coffee and read a book. The people that work there are super nice and the food is tasty.Parking: Definitely a small parking lot. And there was only one space when I got there.

Relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food. Awesome customer service. Comfy seating. Locally owned bookstore that serves food, coffee, and adult beverages. They even have boardgames to play. Check out their Facebook page for events being hosted here. Extra free parking at the NEA building two blocks away. You won't be disappointed.

We were visiting from Arizona and stumbled upon Writers Block. The coffee was wonderful. The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was wonderful and the food was wonderful. If I’m ever in Anchorage again, I will definitely be back..

Absolutely my favorite place to eat/chill/socialize/work! Vered and her team has really built a place of true comfort and no judgment where anyone and everyone can be welcomed with a warm smile and a nice cup of coffee (or tea, or food, or wine/beer, whatever your heart so desires, WB can dish it out) I don't know how it took me over 5 years to find this place, im just glad i finally did :)

Awesome little place. Extremely cozy and has a good selection of books despite the limited shelf space. The coffee was good and the staff were very friendly.
