    Wow what an unexpected delicious bakery find in East Anchorage! This place has been on my radar for the fun events that they host especially during Halloween this year they had drag loteria. I knew it was a coffee shop, but what I didn't know is that they sell amazing pastries and cakes. Honestly their baked goods are up there with places like fire island, and I especially love their variety of Hispanic treats like tres leches cake. They also sometimes have food specials like in the winter time they are currently doing pozole Sundays. The shop is very comfortable and cutely decorated & most importantly it's a safe space for the LGBTQI+ community. It's not just a coffee shop, but a place for many communities to express themselves. They also do a lot of great outreach and community support projects here. If you're in East Anchorage, and looking for a cool coffee shop to check out definitely give this place a visit!

    This place should win awards for: - - Cool Decorations (especially behind the baristas and espresso machine). - - An array of artisan style espresso drinks (and the description of each on menu on the counter). - - Delicious scones like strawberry basil (the soft type of scone). The setup and atmosphere reminds me of the late and great Uncle Leroy's coffee no longer open off 36th. The barista was engaged and friendly. She quickly and efficiently answered my questions about the cafecito. The cafecito is basically espresso, sugar, and froth. It was very good. It was just really small. The barista was able to tell me how much sugar goes with it and she was able to change the amount. I think it would be better in a ceramic cup (I got it to go). I'm excited to go back and try something with some cream in it. The pastries, while very cool and fresh, were rather limited. I only saw about four varieties of things.

    Highly recommend the horchata late ice or hot. Great staff!! Great for artist and work to do. Very atheistic, cultural, and absolutely love the artwork. Till I stop by again!!

    It's frustrating when the online info says the business is open and we drive all the way across town to find them closed.

    I heard local coffee was a must in Anchorage but I was not expecting such a beautifully inclusive and warming experience.

    Delicious desserts!! We were in the 5th Ave Mall and stopped by for some sweet treats. The…read morechocolate pecan bar was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to go back for another one. The chocolate chip cookie sandwich was also very yummy. It had chocolate buttercream in between 2 big cookies. Very tasty! We will be back!

    UPDATE: Well, folks…read morewe have heard back from the bakery's "Will M" who takes NO responsibility for the unusual and unheard of practice of hiding plastic straws in the cake and covering it with frosting. Has anyone ever bought an 8-inch cake with 3 thin cake layers and found plastic straws imbedded in it? Yeah, me neither. Nice try Willie, deflecting from the truth with an attack about how I spoke on the phone with your rude employee Joe who got hysterical about my plans to note this experience on Yelp. I was never angry nor abusive when calling to inform the management about the cake issues. I had zero demands, just a request that a bakery manager or owner return my call --of course no one did. The facts are simple, I live in North Carolina and ordered this cake by phone. I had this small cake delivered by a florist who picked up the cake and delivered it with flowers to my 86 year-old parents, (for Mother's Day) one of whom is wheelchair bound and doesn't leave the house. This was noted at the time of the order and explained to the nice young lady who took the order as to why a florist would be picking up the cake. So how does one photograph transparent pieces of plastic in a cake slice, Willie? The cake was inedible. Periodt. Now, instead of recognizing the situation as an opportunity to repair the situation, keep a customer loyal and repair the bakery's reputation, perhaps even reevaluate or change your weird practice of hiding straws in cakes or even an offer to make good somehow, Willie M. chose to be defense and aggressive. I believe warning people about hidden plastic straws in desserts is exactly why we all read YELP reviews. Seriously, do not waste your time and money ordering anything from the AK cake studio. Not taking accountability for a self-inflicted screw up is a major red flag. Their immense number of negative reviews should have been my first red flag. Oh well. Go elsewhere , folks and enjoy a cake that doesn't require plastic rods to hold it in place. Those plastic straws shred when you cut into the cake leaving plastic particles through out the slices. What a dumb practice. Original post: Weird experience that resulted in throwing out the entire cake! Apparently this bakery inserts plastic straws called "supports" into their cakes to "stabilize" them. These straws are not visible and customers have no way to know these straws are hidden in the cake. My 86 year old parents received this chocolate cake and upon eating it found numerous plastic particles through out their slice. Of course they threw it out! They only let me know yesterday as I mentioned ordering another for my Dad. They were adamant I not use this bakery again. So of course I called the bakery today to describe the issue about a cake I ordered for Mother's Day. I asked to speak with the owner or manager and was told by "Joe" neither was in today. I explained the issue and Joe began a bit of a rant about why they use plastic hidden supports due to instability of the fillings and butter in the cake. I asked if there was anyway a recipient would know of these straws and was told there is a label on the box that say something about "supports." I don't know that any cake customer who would know that supports means plastic clear straws through out the cake and said so. Also told Joe that had I known these invisible cake straws were hidden inside the cake, I would not have ordered from them. I asked him to have the management call me with a plan to rectify this bad experience because my parents threw the cake out after finding plastic particles in their servings. Joe's attitude got hostile when I said if nothing happens I will go on Yelp to warn future customers about these plastic supports. He took that as a threat and said so claiming I was trying to "harm the business." I told him how is it harming the business to warn customers this bakery uses hidden plastic straws in their cakes? Again, these straws are not visible (they are clear plastic, do not protrude above the cake's surface and are fragile enough to be broken when cutting into the cake.) I suggested they not use these straws as any customer would be badly surprised by that practice. Of course he tells me no one has ever complained (to him) about it before. He refused to tell me the first name of any manager or owner! Who does that? He told me he would pass on my message but somehow I really dont think he will. I will update this review should this bakery fix this experience. I cannot believe how unpleasant "Joe" was and how irrational he became. Ugh. Do yourselves a favor and get a better experience and a "stable" cake elsewhere in Anchorage.

    Stopped by because my mother now has me completely addicted--and I can see why…read more I picked up a variety of their tarts along with a chocolate cake filled with raspberry, and everything was absolutely delicious. Each tart had its own unique flavor, perfectly balanced and not too sweet, which made it way too easy to keep reaching for another. The chocolate raspberry cake was a standout--rich, moist, and layered with just the right amount of tartness from the raspberry filling. What really surprised me was how satisfying everything tasted without feeling heavy or overly sweetened--and even better, it didn't spike my blood sugar the way most desserts do. You can tell there's intention behind the ingredients and how everything is made. They also have plenty of other baked goods like cookies, brownies, and more, so there's definitely something for everyone. The staff are friendly, and the bakery itself is so cute--such a welcoming little spot that makes the experience even better. If you're looking for treats that feel a little more thoughtful but still indulgent, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    Our favorite bakery in Anchorage hands down. The service is great. It's a quant little store that…read more3-4 people can wait to be served, or wait at the door. The cookies are some of our favorites as well as the bran muffins. We try to go at least once a month.
