Elwoods makes my life so good! The owner is so kind, the staff are always on point, the food tastes great (no costco bagels here), the prices are realistic and the service is fast!!! Seriously, I tried to swing through a different place and the wait was crazy long and I pulled out of line before I even ordered. There were only 2 cars, but i waited 7 minutes and never got close to ordering. The next day I was in Palmer and jumped in the line at Elwoods. There were 7 cars and I was able to order, get food and drinks, pay and be on my merry way in 8 minutes! Those girls were on fire! It was awesome! I'm so grateful we have this place in our community, they really are the best! read more

I come here quite often, due to craving their delicious sandwiches. Amazing food and drinks! The service is always so great, the baristas are always nice and work fast. The coffee flavor itself is actually delicious compared to some places in the Valley. Will be coming here again and again! read more

Imagine a great, order-at-the-counter restraint that is locally owned and has fresh food. Now imagine that experience in a drive-through coffee stand! This place is a miracle! It's faster than your average drive-through coffee shack while offering REAL (and healthy, honestly) food! This ain't your usual scones/muffins/donuts and the occasional microwaved burrito...oh no! I got the buddha bowl, which included cilantro, jalapenos, chicken, beans, cabbage, etc. And I got it in less than 5 minutes. And it cost less than $10. I don't know how this dark magic is possible up here in Alaska, but I'm not complaining! Please open an Anchorage location! read more

How does a coffee drive thru stand out in a market that is already saturated with coffee huts? Apparently, it's as simple as adding a menu board about a car length from the coffee hut and an ordering speaker like Starbucks. Well, two ordering speakers. The second is up and to the right of the first ordering line. And, of course, having Kaladi Bros coffee. After ordering at the far right speaker, you swing around the building to the side closest to Palmer Wasilla Hwy. It is a touch less personable (when compared to other huts) but, to be fair, their barista was standing at one of the many windows, so you could see them while you are ordering. The menu is pretty similar to most coffee huts, with the incredible additions of a Buddha bowl and grilled cheese. Also, shaved ice. I opted for an iced decaf espresso. It came out mostly on point. I struggle because I dont know how to get a coffee hut to understand I want just a smidgen of vanilla syrup. Friendly, affordable, and a fancy wireless Clover payment system. Gonna try a Buddha bowl next time. read more

Elwood's Drive Thru - Soft serve or milkshake... either way, you win! - Cafes Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

I love this place!! Their Buddha bowl is killer. It's very flavorful, hits all the right notes, and is surprisingly filling. Also, don't sleep on their Dolewhips, which makes me think about hawaii with every bite. My only ding on Elwoods is the Rueben. There was hardly any meat and very little sauce for the price, which was disappointing and not what I expected, compared to anything else on their menu. read more

honestly, I love the drinks here, and the food is pretty good too. But this is multiple times now that I've swung by, and it's closed an hour to a few hours early. read more

It's about time we had a drive-thru with a healthy, tasty option. Try the Buddha Bowl. You won't regret it. Fresh, yummy, and filling! I'm not usually a fan of garlic chili sauce but whatever they've done to theirs has me sold. I get my bowls with extra sauce and veggies. Yum. Also wonderful are their PERFECTLY crispy, grilled sandwiches! Breakfast or lunch, they hit the spot. To top it off you can get shave ice and milkshakes. My new favorite drive-thru in the valley read more

Amazing food! Cute small drive through! Amazing service! For a smaller city, their breakfast is amazing!

On vacation hanging out with my friend who lives locally. The line was really long, the drink they gave us was not the size we ordered. They charged us another 50 cents to fix it. We didn't notice until after we drove away from the window the drink was not correct and did not taste good at all. Instead of sitting in that line again for another 20 minutes, my friend walked up to the window to try to get the drink fixed. He was ignored by everyone inside and then they called the cops on him!! He's sitting in the back of the cruiser because they didn't want to deal with him. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else!!! read more

Budha bowl is amazing! Thank you for opening in Palmer! I finally have a go to quick meal that is healthy, clean, and gluten free when I'm working in Palmer!!! I'm so happy right now! I've also had the gluten free Reuben sandwich, which was delish!! Coffee is great too! read more

The staff were fast and polite. The Dole whip swirl is worth the drive from Anchorage.

Sweet staff, AMAZING breakfast sandwiches (made fresh) and great coffee!! The dirty chai with vanilla chai was incredible! I've already recommended it to my family and I would recommend it to you, too. read more

My parents visiting wanted to swing in here to grab some coffee's. I had passed it all the time and also assumed it was just a coffee shop, but it is SO much more. There's so many different food options. I of course couldn't resist the Italian Soda. All our food and drinks were so good! read more

This place was beyond a disappointment! Coffee quality is poor. Never have been able to get my coffee order right and now officially FED UP!! On top of that the baristas are rude and are entitled. I don't pay for a random coffee, I pay for MY ORDER! I Strongly DO NOT recommend. Spend your money at other coffee places in Alaska. There are so many we DO NOT need this one. read more
