We loved this little drive thru coffee shop so much that we visited it two days in a row while in the area. The white mocha drink was super tasty, as were the breakfast sandwiches.

This is the cutest little drive up spot! Huge menu for being such a little hut. The Mexican mocha is delightful. The croissant breakfast sandwich was delicious (I substituted the cheese for cheddar). The reindeer croissant bfast sandwich is really yummy too with eggs a little on the runnier side (yum!). The biscuits and gravy were WOW. Highly recommend. Google reviews are a bit more widely used in Alaska--check out all those high ratings too! Definitely recommend! Allow 5-10 minutes for your food. Coffee drinks come out faster. read more

The food was pretty good, but very expensive. We didn't go inside so no ambiance to report, but the service was the kind of excellent that makes the price almost worth it. We will be back. read more

Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches! People are always friendly. Great location Croissant Breakfast Sandwich is CC a favorite!

Stopped by for a geocache and got in line mainly because we were getting out of picking up a hitch hiker. A 12oz moch was 3.75 I think. Also got cold brew and a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was really good, fresh bagel but I think it had misctowave bacon which...yuck. But overall it was tasty and the lady was nice. Coffee was good. Cold brew could have used a flavoring syrup. read more

Best little coffee hut. They have an impressive menu for a little place. My husband got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit - which he said was delicious.

We each got coffee drinks and they were The lady working on window was the nicest! She gave our pup two different treats. Summer 2021 hours: open 7 am - 2 PM read more

We stopped here on our way to Girdwood from Denali for a quick bite and such a treat! The sandwiches were awesome - fresh and delicious. The smoothies and coffee was done nicely. Even though there was such a rush, the folks at Brown Bear were such nice and friendly that really made our day! Highly recommended read more

Honestly the best chocolate/coffee anyone in the state has made for me... and trust me when I say I have tried many. Service was great. Very friendly barista. My only complaint is that I have messaged them on Facebook twice, first to praise them and tell them how amazing my coffee was, and second to ask them about a product they use. Both messages were read, but no one ever bothered to respond. Really poor choice as a business. Especially since my messages were all praise. Won't be going back until I'm not salty about that anymore. read more

Such a great little spot. The breakfast bagel was HUGE! We got the chocolate frappe plus peanut butter syrup and the hot breve white mocha. Both were delicious-- on top of everything, the lady at the window was so welcoming and patient with us since we were out of town. Thanks for the great pick-me-up! read more

Absolutely fantastic roadside drive-through coffee on your way north to or south from Denali and Fairbanks. They announce free wifi at their outdoor tables if you want to stay a minute. Mainly, the coffee is wonderful, some type of rich dark roast but not overdone and hot and fresh even late in the afternoon right before closing time. The folks attending at the window are super friendly and efficient. Plus the "Drip Coffee of the Day" will set you back all of $1.75, and on my way both south and north came with a chocolate covered espresso bean--first white, then dark--for lagniappe. Coffee is a human right and these folks are on the vanguard of protecting us all. I only wish everywhere I traveled I could do this well picking the first place that looked good by the side of the road. read more
