Magpie's (or more colloquially known in Valdez as Maggie's) has been my go to for the Summer. The…read morelovely and gracious host of Magpie's is an instigator of fun & a facilitator for creativity.  Magpie's offers an excellent daytime café. I've visited regularly this summer for a midday treat of scrumptious seasonal scones and a beverage; lavender and ginger, blueberry and lemon, pumpkin - just to name a few. Yum - love them!  Your host is also the producer of the Friday and Saturday evening "End of the Road" follies. The show is hilarious and has something for everybody. I've seen it three times this season. The triple threat actors, singers & dancers are all so talented and go out of their way to surprise and delight. At the end of each show, my face hurts from smiling and laughing.  I recently brought my family to see the follies when they were in town & it was a hit! Even with my 11-year-old niece, who later kept singing "Chugach Dan." She was fascinated to learn about the gold rush, salmon migration and the story of Keystone Canyon. We enjoyed delicious sandwiches and charcuterie. Definitely a must if you have guests visiting!  She also offers a gathering place for community members and visitors of all ages. There is a variety of options to uplift your week. I have attended almost every Thursday for trivia, multiple Friday night music acts and as many open mics on Saturday as I possibly can! Each event has such a supportive crowd because of the community that Maggie has created.  It is astounding the level of talent that graces the stage. They've done a spectacular job curating a season of diverse music acts and performers. The long Summer nights were meant for staying up to enjoy music under the midnight sun. I'd say, savor it while you can because Winter is coming. Some tips -  In the early season, be sure to apply mosquito repellent before you arrive. Maggie has invested in good lanterns but suggest an extra defense.  Dress in layers - The old-town style Valdez performance tent is a stylish indoor/outdoor structure. Come dressed for weather changes. You might want to dance in the rain.  Or when the sun comes out, sit at the fun barrel tables and soak up the rays.   There simply isn't anything else like it in Alaska - Enjoy!

My husband and I shared: - Classic Crunchwrap…read more- Banh Mi Crunchwrap I love crunchwraps and this spot didn't disappoint. The classic one is what you'd expect and very good. My favorite was the Banh Mi one though. I love that they have unique versions of it. I really wanted to try their halibut burrito, but unfortunately, they were out of halibut when I was there. The only downside for me is that they only have outdoor seating and while they have heaters, they aren't turned on in the summer. Summer in Alaska isn't very warm, but it's worth being cold to eat here! This is my favorite place we ate on our month long trip to Alaska. If you're on Valdez, it's a must try. If I'm ever back in Valdez, I'll be back here.

The service was fast for my wife and I but we ordered at a strange time, around 2 PM, so there wasn't a line. I think our order came out in under 8 minutes.
