    amazing service! always 10/10! food is amazing and so cheap for anchorage! my go-to for lunch!

    Lunch menu

    I've been to this little restaurant (through the drive through) a few times and it never fails. They have good food, good portions, and good prices. The breakfast burritos are always cooked on demand and sandwiches and side salads are fresh. Because of that, there may be a line of cars, but it's worth the wait!

    Here I splurged for a $2.50 iced latte, but their 12 oz hot latte is a caffeinated bargain at $2.

    Tl;dr $2 lattes and legit reindeer breakfast burritos. These are the best on-the-fly reindeer breakfast burritos I've found in Anchorage, but beware: you need to eat them over a table or ask for a large to-go container to eat over. I've definitely dropped off dry cleaning with traces of salsa from these burritos. Like life, these burritos are messy but good. The owner here is a personable entrepreneur and prepares the food from scratch. Disregard the collection of vehicles, pallets, and old appliances around the drive through. Similarly, disregard the menu's typos: while misspellings like "notella" crepes might have geeks like me furrowing our brows, the Nutella crepes are a worthwhile reward for not dwelling on misspellings and punctuation. ((Also, please don't dwell on my spelling and grammar errors in my Yelp reviews lol.)) The massive English muffin sandwiches are another breakfast standout here. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a drive through. I haven't had lunch here but love coming here for a fast, filling breakfast and the best-priced latte I've found in town.

    An above average (but not excellent) latte at a lower-than-expected price. Ordering and pick-ups make for a 2-step system. Our order was taken at the first station right away and the wait to get to the window was a few minutes. We ordered a 16oz latte for $2.50 which is a bargain. It looked decent, with light froth. The taste was above average but not super yummy. As a whole, it was properly made.

    Piles of junk right out front

    Alright. So I'm driving by and am hungry, but don't have a lot of time. At first I wasn't even sure if the place was open until I got around the front where an open sign was visible. The amount of junk and vehicles parked everywhere is confusing. Maybe the owners store extra crap on the property because they can? Eye sores in every direction. But again, I'm hungry and pressed for time so I give it a go. After ordering my breakfast sandwich in the drive through I pull up to the window. Oh. My. Gawd. The window itself was filthy. Like they've never windexed it. Ever. Finger prints and smudges and splashes and splatters, oh my. There was a sign on the window saying closed at noon on 1/12. It's 1/14. Take the sign down already. As I waited I couldn't help but look around inside through the dirty glass. Boxes of receipts and papers in several places, literally just looked like junk everywhere with no organization, rhyme or reason. I noticed the steaming wand on the espresso machine was caked with burnt on milk because it hadn't been cleaned. I was very happy I didn't order coffee after seeing that but looking at the mess everywhere I became nervous about the conditions my food was being cooked in. The woman at the window was pleasant but after I pulled away I got a strong smell of burnt bread. Once I got to my office and opened up my croissant sandwich it was definitely burnt. I think the place has potential but it needs a serious cleaning, a ton of crap removed from the property and far better attention to detail. I would have rather waited longer for a sandwich that wasn't burnt then be rushed off with something barley edible. Mind you no one was waiting behind me. I won't go back nor would I recommend. Just gross. The lack of cleanliness is extremely off putting. I have posted pics of my burnt breakfast as well as some of the filth and hoard.

    The omelette cup is not actually in a cup, great value at $6.75 and the eggs are spot on.

    Amazing! Not sure why we have not eaten here before. Everything is made fresh to order. Good food takes time to cook.

    The shop is cute but the cafe was meh. I got the drink of the month, which was flavored with some…read morepistachio but it was just ok. Good for the cold but can't remember the flavor anymore. If you want to try some of the teas they sell in the shop before purchasing, they do have some available in the cafe. Though, buyer beware, I thought they'd sell locals only merchandise, like the other shops, but I saw some items from CA.

    I was recommended this place for tea and donuts. Since I was coming here around lunchtime I had…read moreplanned on having lunch since they said they had a cafe with sandwiches and such on their website. The sandwich, bagel, and soup offerings were a little sad and left a lot to be desired unfortunately. They're not fresh and they were just in a to-go case, and if we had time before our next activity we would have gone someplace else. We each got a sandwich (tuna salad, chicken salad) for $7/sandwich and we wished we had just gone to a grocery store which would have been better and cheaper. The fireweed donuts, which are apparently popular, was a pretty pink but just tasted like sugar. The samovar donut was a little better and had a flavor other than sugar, but didn't taste particularly fresh. I think the only thing worth getting was the samovar tea, which is what they're known for. The most prominent flavor to me was cinnamon so if you don't like that you could skip this entirely. The bathroom was also out of order the day I went this week.
