Nice spot for coffee and gathering! Came by for a latte while I waited for my favorite breakfast spot to open up. Corner location with high industrial ceilings, concrete floors, and tons of beautiful light fixtures. Fairly simple coffee menu with a few food offerings (including what looked like fresh pastries for the sweet tooth in you). Barista was friendly and asked for my name and called me when my latte was ready....now for the moment of truth.....latte was delicious! Thanks for helping my morning get started! read more

This went from being my most favorites cafe to being a place I can no longer recommend. Its no longer comfortable. And worst of all the coffee is no longer unique, much less good, They have eliminated their coffee roaster that traveled the world and brought back beans of interest for enjoyment. The service was blah. ... a bunch of children standing around clueless. They burnt my milk for my latte and ruined what was already a boring cup of coffee. What a damn shame. This place was once a gem. Now its truly.... forgetable. read more

Really cute interior with lots of seating space to work, socialize, or just relax. I spent a lot of time here! Service was fast and friendly, however my iced mocha breve was not great. They clearly use a powder to make it and mine had clumps of powder that never mixed in. Definitely nothing to want to go back for. I did not try the food, or any other drink but I would pass on the iced mocha. read more

Black Cup - Seating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The coffee and teas are pretty good here. The London fog was creamy and lightly sweetened with vanilla. I love how they make the froth art, thats what I want from a coffee shop that's shows me they know how to barista, it's more pleasing to the eyes to receive a heart on my drink. The breakfast burrito was ok. I'm not a fan of premade prepped burritos. When I ask for extra toppings like salsa and sour cream I want it in the burrito I don't want to have to dip it into the sour cream, this messes up the ratios. Additionally the reheating of the tortilla makes it chip like. Come here for thr drinks not so much the breakfast read more

I didn't get any food as I expected a donut at work. I'll change that on my next visit. The hotel coffee was unfit for human consumption. I literally poured it out in the frozen parking lot. I was greeted upon entering and my simple order of a large latte was quickly created. I can't tell you what a dramatic difference that excellently pulled espresso made for my day. Inside was clean and of a very modern and minimalist design. Nothing beats a great latte! read more

This was by far my favorite coffee shop in Anchorage. I visited the shop twice and each time my latte was perfect. Both times I was getting the drink to go since I had non coffee drinkers with me, but it did look like it would be a nice shop to just hang out for a bit. read more

I was recently on a business trip to Anchorage and wasn't feeling very inspired to work out of my hotel room, so I hopped on Yelp and found this sweet little coffee shop not far away. This place was definitely hopping on a cool weekday morning, and I got one of the last tables next to a window as many, MANY folks were here working. I grabbed an oat milk latte and started sipping while I dove into my laptop. Soon, of course, I was hungry - so I grabbed one of their delish breakfast burritos which was sooooo good and filling. It was such a comfy little spot that I ended up getting a second latte to justify staying even longer and getting more work done! The service was fast and friendly, and there was plenty of parking out front. Loved their wide variety of swag, too - if I hadn't been doing carry-on, I probably would have grabbed a to-go mug as a souvenir! read more

Starting with the positives, Black Cup has what is probably my favorite London fog in town; it always turns out just right, which I've found has been a struggle among other coffee spots. The pricing is also very fair, and honestly, I would say rides the line of being perfectly affordable (I can only speak for the drinks, as I haven't ordered any food here) The major downside for me is unfortunately the layout- there is just not a good spot to wait for your drink unless you want to take up a table, of which there are often none available. The area drinks are served at is very narrow, and there just isn't a good spot to wait for them if you plan to grab your drink and leave- you're always in somebody's way. The other thing I would consider a downside is that, for the most part, it just doesn't feel very welcoming. I've had a few baristas who seemed genuienly kind and were helpful, but for the most part, it feels like I'm interrupting something and being given the stink eye for it. Of course, that is the case anywhere you're interacting with people, but I find it to be the case more often here than at other coffee spots. read more

Excellent little coffee shop. The line consistently stayed busy with new customers so that is a good sign of a great business. It was a breath of fresh air compared to all the little coffee trailer huts around town. And the coffee tasted great! I really enjoyed my iced americano. Don't forget to get some breakfast because their reindeer egg burrito is DELICIOUS!! Really really good!! So many different flavors. I'd go back just for that burrito but coffee is life! Don't hesitate to stop in this little joint. read more

The cutest coffee shop in town with lots of sitting area/working space. I got a cardamom latte with oat milk and it was perfection. The coffee was smooth and the cardamom syrup added just the right amount of extra flavor. Also got a bear claw they warmed up in the grill and it was delicious!! Staff was really friendly and helpful as well. Definitely check them out if you are in town and looking for a good cup of coffee! read more

Stopped in for a quick dose of coffee and loved it! The shop itself has many tables and seemed like plenty of folks were taking advantage of the space and working/enjoying conversation. I personally had the breakfast sausage sandwich and a shaken espresso with oat and earl grey flavor. I LOVED both and was disappointed I only got to visit once during my trip. The earl grey was just the perfect amount of sweet and the sausage patty on the sandwich tasted so much different than what I'm used to in CA- maybe that's in my head?! Anyway, great spot and recommend a visit! read more

Not bad but expected more based on. Reviews. Ordered cappuccino and it was warm, not hot like I like it.

Great cup of coffee in the perfect coffee shop! This is a great place to snuggle in on a rainy/snowy day. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Lots of tables for socializing or studying. The service was excellent, staff was kind and knowledgeable. The food was not the best but good for a coffee shop. I would recommend going back! read more

Visiting for the first time with my husband just now and it safe to say it will be the last when visiting anchorage. we got there around 12:30 it was quite busy I order a London fog and he order the covey pour over, we waited around 10 min for the london fog, 20 mins later he was still waiting for his, he got up and let one of the baristas know we were still waiting for the drink at this time they were done with the rush, waited 15 more minutes and still no drink, very disappointed with my drink and left a lot to desire for his since we never got it, ended up just walking out. Note, please make sure you get a receipt we payed cash and tip cash and never got a receipt either. read more

The black coffee here is pretty good. They have decent wifi, but it will boot you off before at 6pm. closing time is 7pm. I came here to study and take some quizzes. I'm fortunate the wifi stopped before I started my quiz and I was able to connect to my hotspot. For the first hour there was a really loud older couple that were incredibly distracting. I couldn't drown them out on my headphones. I think signage would be beneficial to help keep the peace since many people here were obviously studying and trying to drown them out. read more

Black Cup - Drip coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Trivia: Name three intriguing aspects of the mural across the back wall. Walls and high back booths create an ambiance of separation and allow one to tuck into a corner and read, journal, or chill. The decor is intriguing. A cool mural across the back wall, a chandelier in the middle. A collage of coffee farms. Large windows with tall curtains. Seating includes mostly tables. There are a few hybrid booths, one large round table that had three moms and about 10 young girls. There are two arm chairs with a table between them, and one high top bar area. By 10 am it is pretty busy and almost all the tables are in use. Upbeat music keeps a person subtlety jamming. Matchbox Twenty (or is it Rob Thomas?), Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift. Even some Avril Lavigne. The pour overs I tried were delicious. The descriptions were accurate. Cocoa, pomegranate, cashews (or something like that). And you can ask for a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup. I do wish they offered a decaf pour over. The decaf americano, while an option, just doesn't have the flavor and depth of a pour over. At one point during the visit an employee propped open the back door to bring inventory in. The door was open about 15 minutes and the draft was uncomfortable for my table and about four others. One part of me was disgruntled, while the other part of me was like, "hey, they've got to do their job, too." read more

Absolutely fantastic Espresso!!! Top quality coffee syrups. This joint is hopping all the time! The staff is also amazing.

Black Cup is that age old place you go to meet friends, do homework do more homework, contemplate why you have so much homework to do. It's also that place to go to just enjoy a great cup of coffee. They have some great special brews check them out! They have the standard patsies that you will enjoy. read more

My boss said he saw this place and also heard it was good. Coming from Hawai'i to here for work definitely calls for more coffee runs in these temperatures. This place definitely had a lot of people in and out - which was good. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and explained their specialties since we are from out of town. I agreed to try their black pour-over with no added cream or sugar. I also got a cortado because I truly appreciate the intensity of well-prepared espresso's. Everything tasted phenomenal. 10/10 recommend. As for their aesthetic - it was excellently executed and well-designed. I definitely appreciated their decor and coziness of their setup. I'd definitely like to come back here! read more

Such a great cup of coffee! Workers were great. Coffee was perfect and price was great as well. Lots of space for me to do some work.

I'm a frequent traveler who loves local coffee - been in Seattle and Hawaii who indeed have built a great reputation of having the best coffees nationwide. This Cafe was on top of Yelp with great reviews so I figured i'll try and see what the hype is all about. I ordered a simple hot Latte with hazelnut syrup , it tasted a little watered down, might need 2 more shots for the taste to kick in. Hazelnut was also too sweet ( hence they have a sugar free option which I will pick next time ) . Great customer service though, friendly staff, spacious elegant-looking cafe (good place for couples aside from professionals) . I'll give it another try, hoping to get a better tasting coffee next time. read more

We come here twice per week every week and have never been disappointed. Recently my MIL purchased me a gift card and when I went to pick it up the first time, apparently a manager had it and it was not at the shop. Fast forward to today when I asked for it... that manager no longer works for black cup but still kept the gift card. The assistant manager, Sarah, went above and beyond by not only offering to get us a new gift card, but after she purchased it, I realized she had done it with her own money! Obviously she should get reimbursed and I'm sure she will, but the fact that she did that is just so above and beyond what she had to do and I really appreciate her for it. read more

I LOVED this coffee shop so much that I went three days in a row while I was in Anchorage. If I lived in Alaska, I'd be a regular here. All of their drinks are excellent and the staff is super friendly and fun. If you're looking for a breakfast pastry, get the berry scone. I tried a different drink each day I was here, but I liked my cayenne pepper oat milk latte the best. I didn't have time for a pour over, but their coffees are so high quality that they have to be excellent. I wish I lived closer to a coffee shop this good. They definitely seem to get to know their regulars, so if you live nearby, this is definitely a spot to frequent. read more

So sad we ended this trip with a disappointing cappuccinos from Black Cup. Just goes to show the barista makes all the difference. Today, our barista with rose gold dyed hair, was too busy talking to another customer to pay attention to our drinks. She poured our shots and we watched as she made the milk after, making bitter drinks for us. She also needs some development on foam because as you can see by my newly added photo of her creation next to my canvas tote, the foam was not dense and sweet, nor was it the rich tones of coffee a good cappuccino should be. Next time we visit Anchorage, I'll call to see if the barista who wears glasses is working-- she should teach this other girl a thing or two. read more

Such a great location! I am visiting Anchorage and needed a place for coffee, charge my devices, and work -- this place is perfect! It's located in adorable complex, and the place itself has a ton of indoor seating near outlets. Whether you want to sit "at the bar" alone, sit on tables and catch up with friends, or sit on the couch and read a good book, this place is perfect! Also, I normally pay $5+ for a regular sized cold brew and this place was only $3.50!! The coffee is a great, they have a wide variety of syrups, and many milk substitutes. Would definitely recommend this adorable coffee shop! read more
