Get the chili. If it's raining, you will not regret it. Decent customer service, but the pastries were a little disappointing. Great taste, but super dry. Avoid the cinnamon rolls. But yeah, the chili. Amazing. read more

Decent breakfast with a side of loud pro Israeli politics. The owner and/or front desk guy discusses Israel/Hezbolloah, and NY Chuck Schumer and Mamdani with every customer. Mention the 7% Seward tax and get a lecture on Socialism. read more

Front desk person was nice who welcomed well. Food was warm, healthy and good. Since it was next to place from where we had to take Kenai fjords tour, it made perfect sense to grab a bite from this clean homely place. Overall comfortable vibe read more

Lighthouse Cafe & Bakery - Cocoa and apple turnover. - Cafes Near Me - Seward, Alaska

This is your classic greasy spoon, no frills place. The staff gives a hometown greeting and feel. They provide big portions of food. We ordered breakfast and they gave 4 thick slices bacon as a serving. You order at the counter (no substitutions) then find a seat and they'll bring out your food. The drink station is self-serve. The location is in the harbor so you have to pay for parking unless you can find a street spot for 30 min only. This was a breakfast place that we were looking for. If you want service and fancy surrounding this is not your place. read more

Came in this morning for breakfast 05022025... The front of the house was very clean and well put together. The staff was very friendly and proficient at their jobs. I also took an updated menu... read more

A small, centrally-located cafe serving up breakfast foods in Seward -- it was one of the few things open during the tourist off-season, so we ducked in before heading to the docks for our tour. The French Toast was good, but I wish they had more vegetarian breakfast foods that weren't sweets. They had ample seating inside and the food came out quick -- it worked in a pinch. read more

Great place for family breakfast. Their apple pastry was amazing. The portions are very big. Their oatmeal was plain but delicious.

As someone who has tried cinnamon rolls almost everywhere she has traveled OMG these are tremendously delicious! The dough is so moist and tender, especially in the middle. No need for butter to make up for the dryness, even on the outside layer. They even provide a microwave for you. As someone who always microwaves her cinnamon rolls, I was happy to be able to heat in to my satisfaction. It was so good, I went back the next day and it was just as good. Moreover, for those of you who want bang for your buck, these rolls are HUGE! If you are unlike me, you could easily stretch it 2-3 days. read more

We had great experience the first day and went back second day.. food was great and flavorful. Service was good and people were helpful. Great location! They are having a buffet event on 6/25/25. I would recommended visit if you are in the area!! read more

Great and fast breakfast! The food was hot and the coffee was strong. It was perfect for our morning.

The man working at the front counter register was impatient, surely and rude. A poster boy for "I Hate My Job" personified. In fairness though, he did say that there were only 3 employees (including him) working today, and there are usually 5 or more on surly duty. One of them forgot to turn on the coffee brewer; an unfortunate mistake on a cold day at breakfast time with a lot of customer traffic. We ordered the somewhat overpriced bagel sandwiches (egg & cheese). The potion size was good but the fried ova were bland. Though the cashier's demeanor was aggressive, the bountiful evangelical proselytism presented on the walls was passive, making this culinary experience a quirky diversion from an alternate reality. read more

Great food! Had biscuits and gravy and Reindeer sausage and eggs. The service was quick. We will return.

The breakfast burrito is good, with good flavor. It is a bit in the small size compared to burritos in general. Service is quick. It was perfect for our limited time before catching a boat tour. read more

Good for a quick breakfast. We came here to grab food before a boat tour of Kenai Fjords and took the food onboard. Walking in, there is an overwhelming scent of cleaning products. The line was long but moved quickly. Our food was ready quickly. They have a big variety for breakfast and lots of baked goods. The bagel sandwich was decent, but the cinnamon roll seemed to be missing the cinnamon. Nothing spectacular, wouldn't come here for a sit down breakfast if I had more time. read more

Woke up late and was concerned not many options would be available for breakfast in Seward. Yay for this place as they are open til 2 pm. I ordered the breakfast deal which you get to pick your protein, potatoes and eggs. I opted for the sausage patties and scrambled eggs. Breakfast was like a home cooked meal which i needed bc the prior day was gray and rainy. Food was good and potatoes had that nice crisp and seasoning. I also ordered a raspberry bear claw and that was gooooddd. Service was good and quick. Definitely a good choice for breakfast in Seward. read more

We stopped there by chance and couldn't have been more pleased. Outstanding breakfast sandwiches and a really nice guy! I wish we were in town longer just to try some of his other food! read more

Really nice owner, we ate breakfast twice here, the food was great and the service was as well.

Great breakfast place worth of your consideration. My wife worked in a bakery in Illinois for 2-1/2 years and they were famous for their cinnamon rolls, so she always judges other rolls based on her experience. She looked at me when she first tried Lighthouse Cafe & Bakery's cinnamon roll and said this one meets the gold standard of Blackberry Market in Glen ElLyn, IL. We highly recommend it! read more

Inexpensive coffee and superb pastry -- try the huge raspberry bear claw and don't miss the large cinnamon bun.

I'm sad we found this place on our last day in Seward because we definitely would have come back more than once. Everyone working was so kind, and the food was delicious. My husband and and I each had the breakfast burrito which was so filling, and my kids split the pancakes. They were huge. read more

Stopped here as we entered Seward. Ordered Halibut fish and chips. These were much better than the place in Palmer. The tartar was also homemade. Very good and fresh halibut. read more

The dude working the counter is about as friendly as you can get, he gave us great trip suggestions and things to see during our stay. Great guy to talk history with, definitely won't leave you sitting bored while waiting for your food. By the way, the raspberry fritter is killer. Heated up would have been even better. Reindeer sausage and eggs, with the potatoes. Those potatoes are to die for. Super crispy, don't even need ketchup. I'll come back tomorrow for another pastry! read more

It definitely wasn't as bad as the reviews but it also wasn't anything to write home about. The service was pretty quick, but there were only a few people ahead of us. The guy at the front was friendly enough, and as someone with blue hair who wore a mask I was expecting judgment based on the reviews (but I can't speak for anyone else's experience). There's definitely a lot of religious stuff in the place. The breakfast burrito was fine. Wasn't bad at all, wasn't memorable, but good sustenance for our Kenai Fjords tour. We brought donuts on our tour as well, they were a little hard but fine. I guess this place is fine. read more

Not a good place for customer service. Wanted a purchased Danish warmed up and the person working the front counter was very rude in response to my request.. The microwave was on the counter by the worker, it was extremely close to him, however the worker asked customer to take a look at the people behind in line and apologize for making them wait 20 seconds for a pastry to be warmed. Additionally worker continued to berate the customer even more during the 22nd warm-up. The next day customers mother unknowingly goes in and inquires about whether fresh cookies will be put out that day and the same worker snapped at her as well.. The coffee was nothing special either. All in all I would suggest you try a different spot for your morning pick me up. read more

Came in after leaving our ship. Waiting in the warm seemed better than sitting in the cold. We had a raspberry bear claw that was delicious and coffee that hit the spot.. It's clear that this is a busy place that locals run and tend to. We liked interacting with them and didn't mind that a table had to be wiped off. I know how to do that and didn't mind doing it. I have read the reviews and it seems people will complain about everything. You're in Alaska, at a busy local bakery, it's most likely cold outside, order a pastry & coffee, you'll probably feel better. read more

Food was quick, service was not good, tables were dirty, we had to bus someone's dirty dishes and wipe table down ourselves in order to use the table, the wall behind us were so dirty and disgusting as if food had been thrown all over and then crusted over. Overall, not a great experience. read more

We love lighthouse bakery! We just bought 9 large DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies for $14 dollars! We also tried the cinnamon roll and the blueberry muffin, and all of it was really delicious. I highly recommend this stop if you come to Seward, and the owners couldn't be nicer! read more

We had breakfast here. The options are limited in the city and we had walked by this bakery a few times and decided to try it for breakfast. The staff was nice and accommodating. The food was good. We tried the French toast, egg/sausage biscuit, and cinnamon roll. All was acceptable. Nothing amazing. The inside needs a bit of work, the paint job and decor is horrible, it was clean however. The prices were probably the fairest ones in town though which makes up for that. read more

Customer service was Definitely not a priority. The Older man taking orders was grumpy, rude, not wanting to explain anything on the none descriptive menu. Yes there were 14 people in my group but none of us were impressed with his attitude. I even tried to tell him no hurry we're all together. Then took that as I was paying for everyone. Then got irritated because HE took that as I was paying! I took recommendations by traveling friend. However she is now fired! LOL The food fair. Not impressed with Breakfast sandwich, cinnamon roll, raspberry bear claw. Rain deer egg breakfast was good. And cookie was good. read more

Owner/ manager /guy who works at cashier was very rude. I ordered a sandwhich with no bacon, and my sister wanted a burrito with no salsa. He turns around and asks the cook (his wife) if she wanted to make a bunch of custom orders (only 2, but okay) she doesn't say much but he's just sighing like we're the most inconvenient people in the world. Then he tosses our credit cards back to us. Food was not good enough to let that slide, and lastly the huge Israeli flag hung up. I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion but personally I don't support Israeli in this genocide so that was just the icing on the cake. I've worked food service for over 9 years and no matter how rough my day was I never treated a customer like that. read more

Great place to grab a morning treat or lunch. Frequented by the locals which is always a good sign. The owner is a character for sure! Personally I like the unapologetic attitude. Food was really good and served quickly. I'd go again. read more

Had a poor experience. My boyfriend and I are alaska natives who live on the Peninsula and we come to Seward every so often to enjoy. This time we wanted to try a new restaurant for brunch. When we walked in the person taking our order was kind and we ordered and went to find a table to sit at. Most of the tables still had sticky syrup or crumbs left from people who sat there before as well as the chairs. Once we got our food it looked good, I got the chicken quesadilla which came with fries and my boyfriend got the Philly cheese steak which also came with fries. As I was eating my quesadilla I noticed it had sort of a seafood taste and the only thing I could think of was that the pan it was cooked in was used for cooking all the other foods as well. My boyfriend noticed that as well with his Philly cheese steak which had no seafood items in the sandwich itself. I couldn't bring myself to eat any of it which was a waste of $15 for half a quesadilla and steak fries. Typically I won't judge anyone who speaks freely but to speak about race is just uncalled for. Right as we got our food and the server went back to his station a couple came in who I could tell by what they were talking about they were locals. The chef decided it was a good time to complain about making my quesadilla and Philly cheese steak we ordered and then proceeded to talk about us pretty loudly while we were eating. He started talking about the tourists and how they were ignorant. Yes, tourism season can be difficult and draining but it does not make it right to talk poorly about others you don't even know saying that "We don't even know what a farm salmon is" is what the chef said about my boyfriend and I. Mind you my boyfriend and I are Alaska Natives who fish and hunt for subsistence every season to provide for our family. After eating their food we both got food poisoning and it was just an all around very bad experience. We will probably never return again. read more

Stopped here for breakfast despite the very average ratings... so glad we did! Owner was very nice and food was delicious!!! Would highly recommend! read more

Apple fritter was okay. Chicken vegetable soup looked great and hearty. Got the fritter but the soup was a no show until we asked about it. Soup was visibly black peppered too much, too spicy and way too much salt (I like salt). Also way too much partisan political talk. Couldn't finish the soup. Not the place for me. read more

This is one of the "local" eateries on the bay front. Luckily, now it opens at 6 a.m. and since the day light comes on strong at 4:30 a.m. to get some coffee early is appreciated. Locals on their work stop here too, good sign. The owner is kind of a grumpy, can be "curt" with customers type person, but don't take it personal, he treats everyone like that including his employees! The food is good/ we started with an Apple fritter which was on the dry side but dipped in coffee...it was wonderful! The 2 eggs sandwich was very tasty, coffee was delicious! read more
