Not so good today. Mexican Benedict chorizo had us feeling ill before walked out. Maybe too spicy ? Heavy? Ate too much. I think I'll stick with their omelettes ( the poached egg itself was awesome. ) read more

When I was on vacation we didn't stop just once but a couple times. This place is over the top dedicated to making it pleasant experience for this of us that have celiac disease. Great selection of baked goods. A dedicated toaster for toast. The food was excellent and service was great. Crew knew the drill when I said I was a celiac and made me feel at ease with their ability. The cafe was busy but not so busy we were not able to find a place to sit. I wish we had this cafe in my area. It's difficult to go out to eat now and to travel is even harder. If in Anchorage stop by and get the Lindor bar and a lemon bar my husband says the lemon was the best! read more

I really thought this would be a go to, but it's not. Clearly understaffed which shapes the attitude of the staff here. This place was not only overpriced, but to wait on a cold sandwich, a breakfast plate and a cold served clumpy split pea soup for over an hour is unacceptable. To add, my avocado melt was not also cold but had no cheese. Worst Avocado melt ever - no cheese and served cold. I was told the Baco was the melt just with bacon. When addressing it, another young lady asked who gave me that info and said - no you were misinformed and the young lady did apologize and stated that the cashier put in the order wrong and gave us a free pastry. I appreciated that, however paying 68$ for that, it won't happen again. read more

We are vegans from LA and did not expect so many amazing options at this restaurant! People who work here are super nice and a vibe of a family owned place even though it's not small at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful art work by a local artist and great vegan desserts!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] See pics below. Thank you for making these options for people who love animals. read more

Wow!! Middle Way Cafe for breakfast today!! Was going to do a simple fast food stop but decided to give them a try, and I am glad I did!! Talk about Happy Mouth Food!! I had the North Coast Omelet with organic eggs, diced reindeer sausage , added bacon, spinach caramelized onions and Swiss cheese It came with toast , they forgot to ask which type and was hidden under plate with omelet and potatoes, lol Had to ask where it was. The potatoes were perfectly flavored ,soft with a light crunch, could have been crunchier but was great I highly recommend giving them a try Oh lots of pastry options as well!! Enjoyed a Raspberry Iced mocha as well read more

I've enjoyed coming here for years. The food is consistent and pretty quick. The last couple times they haven't been able to put my coffee in a real mug because they have been out of them. The restaurant is far from full so it seems like they could just buy some more cups? read more

The food was good. I would go back and eat there again. I liked the menu and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it seemed to be clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

You order your food and they bring it to the table. There were a few items I was very interested in and I love that they have so many choices of bread. The French toast that I really wanted sounded delicious except it was made with walnuts which I am allergic to. When I got to the counter I asked about bread and they said I could easily get something different and it was delicious! I would definitely go back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was very chaotic when we came and we had never been before. It was very much a figure it out on your own type of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter and sit down with a number. I'd recommend having someone scope out and save a table for you or you could be SOL. I am not a fan of this type of service so I probably would not return. I definitely prefer to be seated by a host and not have to navigate everything myself, especially when they're asking for tips. Tips is for service and self service doesn't warrant them. We weren't told about the water, but after watching other customers I figured things out. Do we clean up our own plates? Not sure. I did, but like I said it was chaotic... Breakfast was OK. I get it's clean and organic, but it wasn't anything too special for me to warrant coming back to sit inside. I thought the multigrain pancakes were good, but also too much. I got tired of eating them after a few bites, very nutritiously dense. If I returned it would probably only be for grab and go from the case. There are definitely better more affordable options in Spenard. read more

I've come to Middle Way for years, but never written a review. The food is phenomenal. Healthy, fresh and soooo good. Their baked goods are why I come. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cute place is always bustling, but a great place to work on your computer or grab lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite is any of the sandwiches, with added sprouts. The carrot cake is to die for!!! The best carrot cake I've ever had! Wonderful service and attentive staff. Lots of GF options read more

Been a little disappointed with how things have turned out price wise and what you get for value. My little English muffin with one egg and a few pieces of bacon for $10! Doesn't even come with anything, home fries would have been another $4.50. I was very surprised that it was basically empty at 8am on a wednesday. On the weekends they used to be very popular, maybe they still are? I paid over $30 for this breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito. Meh. Also not interested in their lunch options read more

Not sure if this was a fluke today, but I received the worst service and most miserable staff I've met at a cafe in a long time. Seemed like high quality baked goods, but the croissant was thick and rubbery. I had to wait 25 mins for a dopio and a macchiato to-go. It was a Friday morning with a long line and everyone was served whiled I waited for these two dead simple drinks for (again) 25 minutes. Won't be back. read more

Have you tried their Turkey Rueben?! Fabulously wonderful especially with a side salad and their delicious miso dressing!

I'm not a big sandwich-orderer, but I was surprisingly happy with my Mayflower order. Loved the side soup too but would have preferred it to be a little chunkier. The blue corn tortilla chips and salsa were a nice addition. Felt like I was making good, health-conscious decisions coming here :) read more

Food isn't worth the prices in my opinion. Good, but it's extremely over priced. Tuna melt was great, friend had a turkey, sad under made sandwich. read more

The food is basically locally owned Panera bread services basically place your order and yourself serve yourself and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience is just a storefront. Nothing great nothing to stand out from.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

So many gluten free options! There were lots of gluten free baked goods. I tried the gf banana bread which was super tasty. They also had gf chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, cupcakes, lemon bars, and strawberry jam bar. I had the tofu stack for breakfast (gf and vegan) which was very good. Would definitely come back! read more

Friendly staff. Good food. I live in Vegas now and every time o go back to anchorage, I make sure to have a quick stop here.

Pay attention to the reviews about customer service, if that's important to you. We used to come here a lot many years ago, but things have changed. The food was fine - not great. My friend and I had two different turkey sandwiches. The bread was stale on both. Great Harvest has much better bread (and sandwiches, in my opinion). The problem is they don't seem to value their in-store customers. It took us close to an hour to get two sandwiches at noon (not received until 1 pm). There was no warning from the cashier that they were busy and there would be a wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also could not tell this from the number of customers in the restaurant. It wasn't that crowded (like it used to be). Apparently they do a big take-out business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I inquired about the wait (after more than half an hour), the guy just sort of shrugged and said we should have been warned. While we were waiting, another friend came in, got her boxed salad, ate it with us, and left - well before we got our food. She told us that she always calls her order in way ahead of time because the wait is always long. Good to know. read more

Don't come if you are in a hurry! People ordered after us and got their food well before us. read more

We tried their Avocado Toast, souji bowl and tuna melt. Both dishes were fresh and full of flavor and looks appetizing to eat! the avocado toast was creamy and topped perfectly and the tuna melt was satisfying. This is my favorite breakfast place now [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is super relaxing i actually love it the interiors felt comfortable,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] they have free lemon water and a great selection of sweets, including cupcakes. I love that it's vegan and gluten-friendly, with plenty of options for everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A perfect spot for a chill meal or if you have business meeting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Service is horrible. I ordered food and it came with no utensils or napkins. I called and said something to them about it and they said that there is nothing that they can do. I go further into reviews on Door Dash and see others who hav had the same issue. It's not hard to make sure that every order goes out with utensils and napkins, especially if the order is a BOWL. read more

Way too noisy if you're trying to converse. Mediocre food. Kinda dirty lately, has gone downhill since COVID

No exaggeration, one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The Mexican Benedict was fantastic! Very good gluten-free options too. Friendly service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Easy order at the counter with the smells of fresh clean eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The ingredients are fresh and served hot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is always packed for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was friendly and helpful when ordering at the counter. read more

Very busy, trendy, organic restaurant in midtown. First time here and my wife and I are having lunch at 2PM. Estimated 30 minutes for lunch to be ready on a Monday afternoon. Interesting menu with Smoothies, natural organic juices, burritos, sandwiches, soups, veggie bowls, healthy breads, and desserts. Everything is freshly prepared and offers organic and healthy ingredients. Vegan and GF. Lunch for two with a sandwich, bowl of soup, side of steamed Kale and two smoothies just short of $50 bill including modest tip. You review the menu, order at the counter, and receive a number for your table to help the server bring you your order. Please remember your order because our server didn't know which smoothie was mine or my wife's. Next time we will order the same drinks. My wife's Balto was their version of the BLT. You have a choice of sourdough, whole wheat and a honey walnut bread toasted. She chose the the cashier's recommendation as the fan favorite of the sourdough bread. My observation of her munching happily on her sandwich showed an ample amount of properly cooked bacon, fresh lettuce , purple onion and two generous sized slices of fresh tomato , with flavored Mayo dressing. The bread was nicely toasted and held the ingredients without coming apart as she devoured it. She said it was very tasty and well made. It was accompanied by the purple corn chips and a restaurant made Salsa. The salsa was mild and tasted as fresh as if made today. She was very pleased with her meal. I had one of the two special soups of the day. They had a tortilla soup and split pea. I like both but choose the Split Pea. The soup was perfectly made at just the right consistency and flavor. It contained green split peas, carrots, onion and white potatoes . The peas had been cooked so that just a few were still partially visible. The small chunks of carrots and potato were cooked soft and had absorbed the flavor and spices of the spit peas. One of the best Split Pea soups I have eaten in my 76 years. Most are over cooked to a mushy green unappealing slush. This was very far from that! The simmered Kale was very fresh and a brilliant deep green appearance. It was simmered just right without being mushy. It was crisp with a slight taste of the lemon. Very nicely done. The purple organic chips were served with the soup. I would recommend this restaurant as they serve breakfast and lunch with healthy ingredients, vegan and Gluten Free choices. I believe that almost everything they serve is made in house from the freshest ingredients. They accept credit cards. Next time we must try the desserts and baked goodie's. read more

Fresh and SO delicious! If you want healthy food in the Anchorage area, this is the place to go. Shepard omelette with goats cheese, sautéed kale side and toasted whole wheat sourdough was an absolute winner. Can't wait to come back and try more! Service is awesome and tons of indoor seating, super cute spot. read more

I took my dad here for breakfast and it took a lot Longer this time to get our food. We saw people sit down 10 minutes after us and they go their food before we did. Infact they finished before we even got it. I asked 3 times and by the third time i was getting a little upset. I got a hold of the Manager and he went and looked and it came out about 2 minutes later. Well. Mine was wrong and I had to send it back. That took another 20 minutes. Dad was done eating by then. The manager came by and said they are still working on it but let me get you'll some dessert. Dad chose the carrot cake and he wasn't disappointed at all We love this place but the only thing it wasn't as busy as it was the last time. But this time it took a lot longer to be served. We will be back. read more

Big breakfast and lunch place with lots of vegan options. We stopped here on the way to the airport to grab some brunch, as we saw that they have lots of veganizable options. You order at the counter and they bring out your food. My wife got the vegan breakfast burrito ($12.25) and I got the vegan version of the huevos rancheros (whole order: $15.50). Both dishes came out in about 10 minutes. The huevos was solid, coming with a nice black bean and brown rice mixture on fried tortillas, with avocado, vegan sour cream and fried tofu, smothered in red ranchero sauce. Solid enough dish. The bites of the burrito I had were also very nice, which came with spinach, avocado, tofu, potatoes and black beans: somewhat bland but quite hearty and amped up nicely with their hot sauce. Solid spot in Anchorage for a vegan-friendly breakfast/brunch/lunch. read more

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Middle Way for showing MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT! This business used to always be out of everything, and they seemed to have fixed that issue. They are my #1 spot to order-in breakfast from. The breakfast quesadilla is high-quality and generously-portioined. They have, without question, the best potatoes I've ever had in Anchorage. If they offered a cooking class for them, I would pay money for it! read more

Excellent food! Great carrot Cake and love the burgers there! Have the Farmers omelette, it's Fab!

We live 4 hours from Anchorage, but anytime we're in the city, we head to Middle Way Cafe to eat. It's always bustling with local folks getting a healthier bite to eat. The Shepherd's Omelette is my go-to breakfast dish. There are so many options for those with dietary restrictions such as gluten-free or vegan. The desserts are out of this world. You really can't go wrong with any of them. There are always servers bouncing about offering to help out with anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The walls are covered in the work of local artists.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice place. Highly recommended![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
