I can still remember locals who would go there in the morning with their pups for their newspaper and to talk about the happenings of the town. I used to study there when I was in high school as the alternative to the hipster other place in town. I find the coffee at Sleepy Dog to always taste much better, the espresso is not burnt, and it just has the right amount of flavor to remind me that I am in small town Alaska. Sleepy Dog Coffee is forever a staple in Eagle River Alaska that will never forget its humble roots. I was happy the day I stopped in, ran into an old friend, held my warm cup, and admired the walls, even though they have changed slightly, of my Sleepy Dog Coffee house. This place is 5/5 stars and should be your place to stop for your morning cup of coffee if your just stopping through. Sit on the bench that is a treasure or just sit and listen to some locals talk about what's going on in the heart of Eagle River, Alaska.

I stopped by Jitters in Eagle River to grab a coffee to go and honestly, I was really impressed. I…read moredecided to try a lavender latte, partly because it sounded fancy, and partly because I love trying something different. It was fantastic. Smooth, warm, and just the right amount of lavender. Not too strong, not too subtle. The barista was super friendly and called my name quickly. I almost didn't catch it because I was fiddling with my phone, but my coffee was ready before I even realized it. The shop itself has this cozy, welcoming vibe. There's plenty of space to sit, though I ended up just taking mine to go, so I can't fully comment on how comfy the chairs are, but it looked like a nice place to hang out or meet a friend. They also have some food items like sandwiches and sweet treats. The place was clean and organized, but still felt lived-in in a good way. I noticed they sell little things too like mugs, prints from local artists, and even some branded shirts. I almost grabbed one of those mugs, but I resisted... I already have too many mugs. Overall, Jitters is a charming little spot with excellent coffee, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be back, and next time I might just stay and try one of those sandwiches. *** German translation for the world travelers Ich war bei Jitters in Eagle River, um einen Kaffee zum Mitnehmen zu holen, und war echt begeistert. Ich habe eine Lavendel Latte bestellt, hauptsächlich weil es fancy klang und weil ich gerne mal was Neues ausprobiere. Er war super lecker--cremig, warm, und genau die richtige Menge Lavendel. Nicht zu stark, nicht zu schwach. Die Barista war total freundlich und hat meinen Namen schnell gerufen. Ich hab ihn fast verpasst, weil ich noch am Handy rumgefummelt habe, aber mein Kaffee war fertig, bevor ich es richtig gemerkt habe. Der Laden selbst ist gemütlich und einladend. Es gibt viel Platz zum Sitzen, obwohl ich meinen Kaffee diesmal mitgenommen habe, also kann ich nicht sagen, wie bequem die Stühle wirklich sind, aber es sah nach einem guten Ort aus, um mit Freunden abzuhängen. Es gibt auch ein paar Sandwiches und süsse leckereien. Alles war sauber und ordentlich, aber trotzdem wohnlich. Ich habe auch gesehen, dass es ein paar Kleinigkeiten zu kaufen gibt wie Tassen, prints von lokalen Künstlern und ein paar Shirts mit ihrem Branding. Alles in allem ist Jitters ein richtig netter Ort mit tollem Kaffee, freundlichem Service und entspannter Atmosphäre. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder, und beim nächsten Mal bleibe ich vielleicht sogar sitzen und probiere eines der Sandwiches.

We met a few great people that were as helpful and friendly as anyplace we've been. The products were as expected and the java spot on. Because their parking lot is smaller they have a challenge with their drive-thru. It's really hard to notice when the staff picks up the pace. All in all a most efficient staff when you consider how young they are. It's a large room with many tables of different sizes and a nice fire place that I hope will be lit this winter. Today, however, we stand in the middle of our first heat wave since arriving. Temperatures soaring into the mid-seventies under a warm sun. This happens to be the coldest spot in town. I think they left the freezer door open. We hid out here for 90 minutes. Luckily, it never got too busy. I see a lot of cafés around town and I will try them all. I wouldn't be surprised to see us here, in between. 07/22
