I decided to pull in to this little coffee hut on a TOTAL whim, I needed a little Christmas Eve pick me up. It's a very accessible spot so that's a plus AND they're open 24 hours which is really cool!! The staff were super nice, and they put 6 shots in a large Americano (YEAH). Only three stars because they don't have a menu with prices anywhere, I like to be able to see what they offer AND know how much I'm paying without asking. read more

Boom! Coffee - Delicious coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

As the only 24-hour coffee stand, the drive-through line reflects this. I visited the location two days in a row due to the long wait to order and receive your items. The first day that I went, it was around 9:30 p.m., and I waited for 25 minutes. I was not close to the front of the line, as I was the third vehicle. The following day, I visited around 9:00 p.m., and Jr still took around 25-35 minutes to receive one drink. Once you pull up to the window, the service is nice, but there aren't any menus! The barista surprised me with a drink and it was good! It has coconut in it, it was a soda if I remember correctly. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if the line is very short and I pass by then I'd stop in. read more

Boom! Coffee - Blended Italian Soda - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I have lived in Anchorage, my whole life. I have basically been to every coffee hut there is. I have gone to "Boom!" quite a few times in the last few years, but recently I think it has been going down hill. While they can be busy, the barista's are initially very pleasant, but end up being short and walking away at any pause in what I was trying to say. As well as last time I went, my lotus was completely flat. It was like drinking juice. :( read more

Just started going here this summer and wish I would have been getting my coffee here a long time ago. Boom is great, service is awesome and the staff are phenomenal. I love it when the see me and they'll ask "want your usual?" That's great service! read more

Boom! Coffee - Coffee at Lake Hood! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

We came on New Year's Day because nobody else was open. 4 cars in line on each side. We had two in front of us when we first got there. Took about 15 minutes. They have no menu on the boards. I think the little tv outside was supposed to have the menu? But when you drive to the window you wouldn't be able to see it. Is this so they can charge you whatever they want? That's my take on it. Shady business model ‍ As the coffee goes, the taste is pretty weak. Mocha tastes like chocolate only. Americano tastes like syrup. I dont think they put the extra shots for a 16 verses a 12 oz. Bummer. It's how they save money too. Another thing, no physical punch card. It's an online one. We declined. We will be picking another shop next time. That's a lot of negatives for me when there are plenty of other coffee shop on every corner in this city. People come here because they are open 24/7. I thought the one in baileys parking was open 24 hrs too but maybe they are still closed holidays. I will be going elsewhere in the future. read more

They always take a ridiculous amount of time. They are not the only coffee place open 24hrs, yet they're the only one that takes 10 minutes per car. The drinks are also overpriced. read more

Stood in line for 40 mins at 4:15 this morning and waited another 15 for my drink as management here apparently doesn't see the need to hire enough staff to make their coffee, so yeah. read more

This is my favorite coffee hut in Alaska. Such a friendly staff, a wide variety of fun drinks and 32 oz drinks! read more

Drinks are consistant. All the employees are always friendly. They take the time to say "Hi" and make you feel welcome, not the what do you want, now leave. Open 24 hours a day everyday, what more could you ask for? read more

Sat in the drive thru line for over 20 minutes waiting to order. There were two cars ahead of us. Only come here if there's no line and you are okay with the waiting a while read more

I always wondered why they were so busy and it's because the service is quick and the coffee is pretty good! I got a 12oz soy latte, extra shot and 1 pump of raspberry. The soy tasted fresh and the espresso was not burnt. I've had milk/soy taste like refrigerator and espressos over extracted tasting dry, bitter and burnt so my luck at coffee huts are usually not that great. I'll be back to see if they're consistent but based on today's experience I'd say go, go, go! *Side note* I really appreciate that the young lady put a sticky stopper w/o asking - I'll be driving away and I don't want it spilled before getting to my destination. Small details that make it an A+. read more

It was weird to drive up and not see a menu. Thankfully the barista was helpful and told me the specials. I did look online prior to driving up, but who doesn't love knowing the prices beforehand? Drink was okay. Nothing to write home about. Relatively quick service for 8pm at night. read more

Located along the main road, making it easy to spot. The drive through is easily accessible and the line was short. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. They have your standard coffee shop menu making it very easy to find what you are looking for. We ordered blended blue raspberry redbull Italian sodas and they tasted great. We will for sure stop by again read more

Excellent friendly service. Excellent iced latte-Hawaiian salted Carmel and macadamia nut.

Coffee is average but service is fast. Customer service is great and my niece LOVED her redbull smoothie. If you're about the redbull smoothies, try them. If you're about the coffee, you won't be disappointed but you won't be ecstatic. read more

Boom! Coffee - Peach Pineapple Redbull Smoothie - she approves! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

So slow. It seems like they're taking as long as possible on purpose. Good coffee. But so incredibly miserably terribly disappointingly slow. Snail speed. Slower than a snail. Been in line for 30 minutes and one car has left. Haven't seen one drink come out. No masks on site. Someone else please open another 24/7 hour coffee shop. UPDATE: we watched an employee sit and talk to a customer, swearing loudly, close contact, no masks, while customers wait. Completely embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you. read more

Honestly when they first started it was amazing! The wait wasn't 45 mins long. I'm glad they are busier but the fact now you have to wait atleast 20 mins to get a coffee or a redbull is a bit much. The different flavor combinations are great! Coffee is always good. Redbull flavors are always on point. read more

Boom! Coffee - Code Red Redbull Soda - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I stopped by Boom today on my way to work. As I pulled in, another car came around the other side of the building and cut me off to get in front. The car in front of me had ordered food and it was going to take awhile to complete their order. The barista came out the back door to take my order to speed things up. I ordered a tea, which came out at perfect temperature, and the chorizo burrito which was amazing! Excellent and friendly customer service! read more

The service was very slow and vanilla caramel Frappe was very bland. If I lived there, I may have given them another chance to redeem themselves. I will have to leave the redemption up to my daughter and son in law. read more

Boom has Very good drinks and excellent baristas from what I've experienced. I'd say the only downside is the wait time!

The coffee is excellent and service is good! but the long lines and long wait are quite a disappointmnt! For any consolation, they are open till the wee hours and they are only ones open that time!!! Still worth it, if you dont mind the wait! read more

I came down here a few days ago to get my coffee fix after finishing up an 8-hour shift. Boom! Coffee is a coffee hut located at the corner of International Airport Rd. and Arctic Blvd. next to Alaska Rainmakers Car Wash and across from the Flight Deck Lounge. This is the only coffee hut in town that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week making it very convenient for night owls or people who have to work the graveyard shift. This location is frequently busy with two or three cars on average waiting in line every time I pull up. However, the wait in line is a reasonable five minutes per car and the friendly baristas do a great job of keeping the lines moving in both drive-thru windows. The barista that helped me gave me a friendly greeting and was fast in making my drink order. A list of specials on the window caught my eye and I decided to go with a Reese's Peanut Butter Mocha in a 16 oz. The mocha was delicious with the noticeable taste of the Reese's brand peanut butter syrup mixed in with the chocolate topped with whipped cream, but just the right amount without taking away from the coffee itself. Aside from the usual espresso and food menu, this was the first place in town I came across that served Dirty Chai Frappuccinos. I usually have Chai Tea served hot, but I intend to try this out as the weather gets warmer. Punch cards are handed out to anyone who tells the baristas it is their first time there and after the 10th punch, any large drink will be $4.00 off. Drink specials change frequently so there will always be something unique to try in future visits. read more

Boom! Coffee - Need a little boost for the drive home. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Paid nearly 6 dollars for a cup of ice. There next size up was a 2$ difference. If you ask for no ice, it's .75$ more Would not recommend unless you love expensive ice. Also the lady taking our order had an attitude from the moment we pulled up until we left read more

I don't know what the hype was about. We waited in line for about 20 minutes and had our orders ready within 5 minutes. I had plain hot mocha and my friends had their coffee with CBD powder and couldn't tell the difference. It was a nice coffee but again, coffee is supposed to be nice. That's why we love it. read more

Back when Boom started it was great! Even with the longest line it didn't take very long to get my coffee but now it seem like they are taking 5+mins per drink! Other coffee stands I go to have it out in lightning speed and it's piping hot and good! Boom employees seem to love to talk about their personal lives while making the coffee... like omg idk (insert sarcasm). Coffee is still very good just slow and Luke warm most times... fix this please Boom :) read more

This place is sooooo slooooow. Pathetically so. The drinks are good and the baristas are friendly but I will go miles out of my way to Common Grounds, get a delicious drink, drive back the way I came to work and it's still faster than getting a drink here...at a place that is literally 2 blocks from my work. Hilarious. read more

As a self-proclaimed caffeine addict who will drink coffee at any time of day or night, I was beyond excited to find out Anchorage was finally going to have a 24 hour coffee stand again. Boom! is located on the corner of Arctic and International in the same parking lot as a car wash. Perfect location if you want to grab coffee on the way to the airport. It makes having a 3:00am flight a little more tolerable knowing there is somewhere open to get your caffeine fix. Service has always been friendly when I've gone. Drink prices are reasonable and I've been satisfied every time I've visited. I'm giving four stars instead of five because, for some reason, they stopped serving their magically delicious cinnamon roll waffles. They were, as the name implies, cinnamon rolls in waffle form with frosting on top. I was sorely disappointed when I stopped by one day hoping to get my waffle fix only to find out they no longer had them. Although I suppose this is sort of a good thing because if they still had the waffles I would be eating them way too often anyway. read more

Drinks are delicious if your a local you'd understand that they are very popular so if you go later in the day just expect long lines best way to describe boom is kinda like Alaska Dutch bros read more

Boom! Coffee - Frapp Mocha, late picture but it's so good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I like to sample drinks from different espresso stands and coffee shops. I had a few hours to explore and Boom! Coffee was the closest spot on my Yelp list for Anchorage. I noticed in another Yelp review that someone mentioned getting a peanut butter mocha made with real Reese's syrup. I love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate together and decided to stop by pick up a liquid dessert. When I pulled up, I did not see it on the menu, but I asked about it and the barista said yes, they had a peanut butter mocha. I will digress here and note that the barista disarmed me by leaning out and asking, first, "How are you?" rather than "What can I get you?" It is not easy, in the short transactions at a drive-thru, to make a genuine connection with the customer, but this guy really did it). I asked for an 8oz, as I prefer 8oz drinks when I am by myself, but he said that their smallest size was 12oz. I said ok. Anyway, as he was making it, I noticed he used Torani peanut butter syrup, not Reese's, so the Reese's must be gone. Then he asked if I wanted white chocolate or regular and I said white, and then realized that was probably going to be more expensive. So my drink wound up being $4.30 which is partially my fault and partially the fault of the stand (they had 8oz drinks advertised but did not have them available). Anyway, how was the drink? It was different than what I was expecting, in that the peanut butter flavor was not very strong, but it was still very yummy. It also did the trick to perk me up and make me more willing to go back out and work on my bush grocery shopping. I debated between 3 and 4 stars. The reason for 3 is that they don't have the 8oz drinks and the Torani peanut butter is not too nutty. But on the other hand, the drink was properly made and was tasty in its own way. And the barista was a dear. So there you go. read more

I was super excited to get a redbull smoothie from Boom! but i waited for a good 30 minutes just to get a single drink, the line was RIDICULOUS! I also was behind a car & timed them & it took them 10 minutes to make 2 drinks! The price for a 24oz redbull smoothie was $7. Overpriced and it wasn't even that good, along with forgetting my whipped cream. Disappointed. ): read more

Did not expect it to be this good! Honestly I expected it NOT to be good cuz they're the only coffee shop open in my neck of the woods. WRONG! If they ever change their name from BOOM! it would have to be to DAMN! cuz this coffee's good!!! read more

We stopped at Boom! Coffee two mornings in a row while we were staying in Anchorage. Our first time we were greeted by the absolutely lovely Sophie who's warm and friendly reception made us feel like we were all old friends. I ordered an Americano with heavy cream and she asked if I would like it steamed, and I asked really? And she said of course whatever you like. The Americano was incredible! All of the staff here is friendly and personable but Sophie is a true gem. Thank you so much! read more
