Corner location with high industrial ceilings, concrete floors, and tons of beautiful light fixtures.

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.

This place is a solid 10/10--amazing coffee, welcoming vibe, tasty food, and super friendly people. I mean FRIENDLY!

Highly recommend!

Oh Benji's, its a good thing I dont live closer or I'd be a human whale. We were on the South-sh…read moreside of town toward the end of the day and I knew full well that Benji's would be sold out if everything, but I decided to take a chance. I was right, as I walked in they sold the very last thing of what I wanted. But gosh am I glad- it forced me to try something new. I didnt take a picture because it was so cold out and my hands were frozen, but it was a beautiful, elongated bakery treat. It had lovely purple Ube cream and touch of oreo crumbs on top, the base was essential much like a flat cruller, but if higher quality. It was sensational! I bought my husband something that looked lower carb that had coffee cream that also enjoyed. I got my husband custom cold jasmine sugar free tea, and I got a frosty honeydew melon drink. It was a little spendy, but its nice to have a treat one on a while.

I stopped by Benji's Bakery & Café in Anchorage for the first time and tried a few things. The Ube…read moreCroffle was the standout -- it was so delicious! It's like a croissant baked in a waffle form, but a bit denser than a regular croissant. What really made it special was the Ube cream -- a light, buttery frosting that wasn't too sweet. Easily a 10/10 for me. I also ordered the Ube Cruffin, which had that same croissant-like texture in a muffin shape. The inside had a light cream filling, and the top was covered with the same Ube cream. It was good, but not quite as amazing as the Croffle -- 7/10. The Ham Banh Mi was tasty and filling (6/10), and the Boba Milk Tea was decent too (6/10). Oh and I got to taste their smoked salmon chowder that my friend ordered. Very good flavor, body, and richness (8/10). Everything I had was good but nothing that was as memorable as the Ube Croffle, but it wasn't cheap -- I spent a total $32 for a sandwich, drink and 2 pastries. Then again, prices in Alaska tend to be higher in general. Overall, even though I've only been once, I'd definitely come back for that Ube Croffle -- it was the real highlight!

Smiley's Cafe is located on the ground floor in the 4300 B Street building, making it a convenient to grab a coffee before meetings in the building. They offer all your favorite espresso drinks along side a variety of breakfast foods. They will be adding additional items in the upcoming weeks. The owner Karen is super friendly and she is very excited to start serving fresh hot coffee. I definitely recommend stopping by, even if you have to get out of your car to pick up a cup of coffee! It is well worth is! This cafe is proudly serving Kaladi Bro. Coffee. ********* Dieses Café hat erst heute eröffnet!!!

This cafe is in a strip mall off of Debarr, where haciendas is…read more It is very nicely and heavily decorated with Mexican/day of the dead/latin types (not sure which one) as well as LGBTQ+ items. Some stuff for sale too like jewelry. I came on a Friday afternoon at 1pm and there was nobody inside. They have four or five tables plus two couches. Would be good for groups or a date. I almost passed out when I had to pay 5.75 for a 12oz mocha. Their rent must be extremely high here. None of their menus on the counter or the wall had any prices, well they did but they blacked them out. None of the specials had prices, the food too. So they can change them how they see fit. I just don't really like that business practice, I think it's kind of shady. They are way too high as well. Nobody should be paying that for espresso. Mocha did taste decent though, and not too hot which I appreciate I didn't burn my mouth. The worker was very quiet and when I left she sat on the couch with her phone. Happy to support small businesses but I won't go out of my way to come here or ever pay that much for a mocha. Those are *bucks prices.

Eh. I'm not sure what the point is…read more B&N used to be a bastion of culture. While I grew up in a large metro in #FL...it still often felt like a small town. This is one of the first places where I ever had a non-drip coffee. Its magazine racks held...without getting too graphic...a lot of things a 13 y/o boy could appreciate. And...so many interesting books. So many more than the library, and presented in a much more intriguing fashion. (card catalog? BO-RING!) Times have changed though. Coffee shops have exploded. There are dozens within a few miles of this location. Books? Believe it or not, Amazon started as an online "BOOK" store. That's all they sold. The main selling point was "you can shop in your underwear!!!!!". You actually had to pay for shipping. In those days, you could make a good case for going into a B&N (or their competitor "Borders"). Now though? Amazon is consistently 20-50% cheaper on just about everything here. You'd think they'd price match? I asked them to price match a $20 book that was $15 on Amazon. They couldn't. I'll just wait a few days and save $5. I AM that cheap and I am NOT that impatient. They have all the stuff you're used to at a B&N, with some tweaks: Books: all the books Music: smartly focused on vinyl, the only physical media anyone still wants to pay for Starbucks: pretty big one located on-site Games: good selection of board games, the geekier the better Geek tchotchkes: overpriced figures/trinkets from geek culture (Star Wars, Dragon Ball Z, etc)

They're basically a coffee shop that also has a few sandwiches. We ate here twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. The lunch sandwiches were very good! Very generous portions as well. The breakfast sandwiches were very fresh and flavorful and were able to be heated up. Their coffee was nothing amazing but their mocha was pretty decent! It can get busy inside and I watched it go from no line to 15 people deep quickly.
