Waited over 45 for our food I had to finally go ask where are food was...they finally brought it out 10 minutes later. They didn't even cook one of our meals so the 5th person had to wait even longer for them to cook his meal. While we ate. They left my breakfast burrito in the window so long it was soggy and inedible the eggs in it were burnt potatoes were raw. On a up note the refunded our meal. Was EPICALLY disappointed as it was a family meal to celebrate that turned ugly due to poor service and excuses...normally thier food is epic ...pretty sure we won't be returning anymore... read more

Great services! Great food! Made food without salt , but great seasoning! Happy with friends and family there!

Please please please open at six am again! I always want to come by after my workouts but I can't wait around until 8 that burrito..... especially in winter it's nice to have a place that opens Supra early. I know they used to cuz I used to work there and open. Missing it!!!!!!! read more

We went to this place based on the reviews and to be honest it was okay. The food was edible, but super greasy. Prices were good, atmosphere was quaint but honest I probably won't visit again. read more

Family favorite! Always on the restaurant tour with our daughters when they come home to visit and on our lunch takeout list when we are busy with work. read more

By far the best place I've eaten in town I go here for the Mexican Benedict. It's the best.

Pleasant place to eat and food is good. Tends to be a longer wait but everything is made fresh.

Very quaint and clean establishment. Great service and delicious food. I ordered the avocado toast & my hubby ordered the turkey cranberry sandwich which he really enjoyed. It's a good size cafe so even around lunchtime it didn't seem packed. I noticed their food items offered gluten free, vegetarian and organic items. We will be definitely be going back here. Update: we have come here numerous times after my review! And always a great experience! But I wanted to say my daughter lived her chocolate strawberry Rose hip heart shaped birthday cake! It was very delicious and everyone enjoyed it and also loved the cupcakes as well! read more

Absolutely love this place. Great food. Love the juices they have its like a Lil glass full of heaven. Food feels home cooked. Tons of options here. Breads sandwiches breakfast lunch mmmm its all good ,cannot go wrong one of my top spots to go to. Don't think I've had a bad experience here yet hopefully the streak continues. read more

Usually a decent place to eat. Our order was forgotten about. Served to us warm, not hot. When I politely asked about the order, one of the servers made sure to remind me there was a wait time. I arrived there at 13:55, and was served at 15:10. Like I said, normally a decent place, but the service is unsatisfactory, and one server seemed to be having a bad day. read more

I really wish I had better things to say about Middle Way Cafe, but I just don't. The Kitchen is always in chaos and the tables are always dirty and sticky. I also have major concerns about their get your own water system. People grab the ice scoop with their HANDS and then put the whole scoop back in the ice bucket...WTH?! Also I have seen people use their water cups and then fill them back up at the spigot touching it with the cup they have just been drinking out of..Can you say GERMS??!!! Unreliable menu items and extremely slow service to top it all off. read more

Huh. Dont know how i missed writing a review for here since I've been here a couple times. Quick and dirty review: Chaotic Pretentious Overrated Overpriced Does not make you magically cooler if you hang out here Has tons of trendy options for gluten free and veg, but not executed very well Consistently gets poor kitchen cleanliness reviews. Pass. read more

So many options that differ from a typical breakfast joint. You order at the counter and it is then delivered to your table of choice. They seemed to have awesome coffee drink options but we decided against that today. We tried the shepherds omelette and the juevos rancheros and both were yummy! Potatoes were soft and could have used a crisp factor, but I was impressed with the juevos rancheros! read more

Delicious bread, pastries, and breakfast items. Very friendly and courteous service. I will eat here every time I'm in Anchorage.

I came back forgetting my last trip here until now. Luckily I didn't order what I did last time, this time what I ordered wasn't available and I had to get a melt. It was mushy...soup was good though. Coconut Tumeric. Last review and order: My friend likes it here. Sandwiches and foods are creative and pricey. I was in the mood for a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. Cloudy skies, cool breeze, ya know? I ordered a $7.50 grilled cheese thinking of how delicious melted cheeses (sssss on cheeses) on sour dough will taste with their creative quinoa tomato soup. Disappointed! It was a huge piece of toasted bread with a super thin slice of cheese! Argh! How sad! You can buy an ENTIRE meal with $7.50 somewhere else! Not just a thin (I mean thin) slice of cheese. Enjoy. read more

Middle Way is hip and happinin'. A little on the $$ side but not bad given the quality of their food. I've been a fan for some time now. They're always serving up some good, hearty, fresh dishes that satisfy my appetite every time. I usually settle on the "Pick Two" because I'm very indecisive. Their portions for this $10 steal are big but small enough to where I don't need a to go box. MW also has 1/2 sizes of some items in case your appetite isn't full sized. Not only do they have wonderful cafe type plates (soup, salad and sammies), MW also has a case full of wonderful baked goods. Their cookies and cupcakes are A+. I also love how GF, vegan and vegetarian friendly they are. I do not have dietary restrictions, except for home much my tummy can hold, but my friends who do appreciate the extra effort to cater to their needs. Keep it up MWC! read more

I really enjoyed the breakfast burrito I had here. Not sure the cut off time for breakfast food items on the menu, I wanna say I cut it close showing up 10 minutes prior to 1pm. Burrito was massive. My friend had the kids breakfast quesadilla and I don't think they finished it. Recommend this joint, and will def go back! read more

I think this place has potential for greatness, but there is definitely much improvements to be made. Most importantly internal communications needs to be established. My most recent visit here drove me out the door frustrated and empty handed. There seemed to be no clear communication between the staff which only resulted in giving customers conflicting information. My recent experience: I arrived approximately 12ish on a Friday (just in time for lunch!). I wanted to order the Prima Bowl, but the cashier told me their bowls weren't ready yet and that it would be another 10 minutes. No biggie. I told her I would wait. Then she proceeded to tell me she can't put my order in because the kitchen aren't even sure which bowls they can make. At this point I was confused.... so does that mean they don't have what's on the menu? She just kept telling me to check back in 10 minutes and then I would be able to order my bowl. Ok.. Great! I waited about 15 minutes and asked again. Another cashier (because the first cashier was no where to be found) and she told me that the bowls aren't usually ready till 2pm! WTF? Ok... I left because this was just total chaos. My other experiences here weren't quite as frustrating, but I have still experienced the same type of mismatched communication between the staff members. I like the concept of this place as it reminds of all the amazing places in California (where I'm from). But there is a lot of room for improvement. Overall: I would still come back and try this place at a later time because I really like their concept. It's rare place to find in Anchorage. But honestly, I don't know if I can recommend this place to any of my friends/other yelpers. read more

Good breakfast, specially the breakfast burritos very big and delicious also the muffins/cupcakes that they have freshly made. I also tried a beets juice which was delicious too. Will definitely return here if am ever in Alaska again. read more

Great spot for breakfast and brunch. Large menu with lots of healthy and vegan options. Very quick service with a smile read more

High prices, crowded, kinda self serve (you order at counter then find a seat and refill your own drinks), I don't think we would return. The carrot cake was great, not too sweet. The quiche was good but a bit dry. Drip coffee was ok. We ordered a breakfast I forget the name, the ham was super dry but the eggs were cooked perfectly. The pancakes were ok, but their jam to put on them was nice. read more

As a former employee I can tell you, middle way does a decent job training it's employees. However, often they are understaffed and overworked along with high turnover. On busy days when people would call out the employees were stretched thin. The reason why employees don't know what food tastes like is because they are new and can't afford to eat there (young college/high school mostly). My best advice is to go there for a coffee and pastry or order ahead on the phone (45 mins at least) if you'd like a sandwich ready. Dining in is going to take you some time (mostly because they only have one cook sometimes two but again one calls out it's slow!) and it's not the cashier's or the food runners fault. Management really needs to step up and try to keep a few more employees long term along with more people on the floor when busy. read more

Middle way use to be a great place with great food and great service. They have seen been reduced to long hold times if you can get passed the busy signal. They tell you they will text when the order is done that never happens. Food sits and they serve it warm. Poor customer service. Just completely downhill Food is great if you get it on time and the way you ordered it read more

Probably my favorite place to get a salad in town, they have the freshest veggies and herbs. Also it's not pin the menu but they always fresh spring rolls that are to die for. Highly recommend! read more

May be the last time ordering as the standards for pickup orders don't seem to matter. Ordered the farmers helper- Confused how someone can mess up potatoes so badly as a well known breakfast spot. As soon as I opened the box I saw shriveled up under cooked potatoes. It was as if it was a microwaved potato, then cut into pieces, seasoned and thrown into a skillet to pass for being cooked properly or that of something reheated from the day before. Even the toast was a bust and tasted like a stale piece of bread thrown in the toaster for the next pickup order to get stuck with. Disappointed in how a kitchen allows something so simple and inedible to go out. As a pickup order you feel kinda screwed over because you can't do much once you've already left! Kitchen staff needs to have better quality control and consistency for the price people are paying here. read more

They are closed right now due to short staffing. Please update your voicemail when you are closed.

Waited 40+min for food, messed up our order, all would have been fine had the costumer service been better and the food actually been good. But overall really lame food experience. I don't mind waiting and I don't mine the occasional order mix up, but at least be more nice and accommodating about it ya know? read more

The cafe is organic, locally sourced, and full of vegetarian options...what more could you want? The inside of the cafe has local art hanging on the walls and is super cute, but we opted to sit outside since it's been in the 70s and sunny. I got the "beat burger" and was a little nervous because I've never tried a beet before in my life. It was delicious. It had beets and portabella mushrooms that were roasted in balsamic- topped with spinach, goat cheese, and onion marmalade. Yum. Dave ordered the "turkey cranberry" sandwich and thought it was wonderful as well. read more

Counter service is friendly and helpful. Service is quick. Cute place, bright, local art for sale and clean. Great breakfast food. Had the farmers plate. Fresh eggs, high quality bacon, bread made there and delicious home fries. Had the Kick Start juice - fantastic. My partner had the avo toast. Nice and flavorful. Also had the banana blueberry whole wheat pancakes. Outstanding! Highly recommend. read more

Usually love the shoji bowl but not much to the veggie blend today & huge chunks of chicken rather than thin slices. Ordered lemon bar for dessert - slightly burnt & a bit stodgy. Hope it's back on par next time. read more

Middleway Cafe offers gluten free, vegan options, and mostly all are organic. All in all tasty breakfast spot! Pretty packed today, I went at 8:30am. Despite being busy, they were able pull through and serve my food plus my coffee within 15 minutes of ordering. I ordered the half order of Mexican Eggs Benedict. Comes with a two poached eggs, chorizo, salsa, avocados, tomatoes, with chipotle hollandaise sauce and their home fries. Sooo good! You can also order to go and coffee on the go! Convenient location for those who live in midtown area. I'll definitely be taking my family here again. Update: Placed a to-go order, went to go pick it up and they never even put out order in. So I had to dock it one star. Too bad. read more

Quality ingredients with lots of organic foods in the menu. This place is special. Unbelievably fast, lots of seating, healthy foods, great cafe, juice bar, hip staff. I just can't see myself waiting 30 minutes for a seat a Snow City anymore. Middle Way is the path to happiness. read more

One word BOOM! When in Anchorage on my business trips, I have always, always come here for breakfast sometimes a few times during the week. Food is always fresh, staff is always friendly, portions are always great! If you haven't been here you do not know what you're missing. I've been coming to Alaska for 6+ years, usually 4 times a year, each time I come, I eat here several times in that timeframe, love it... read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Value: 3/5 I enjoyed the lamb burger with swiss. The major challenge was with the service. When I placed my order, the cashier/hostess was looking out the window and not paying attention. She then repeated the wrong order back to me. I corrected her, then sat down. Despite correction, we still received the wrong order. Basic customer service tip: look your customer in the eye, listen to their order, then document it correctly. I recommend holding off on the tip up front (you pre-pay, cafeteria-style), and bringing cash if you feel compelled to tip, in the event that you receive what you ordered. My other issue is with the side. If I pay $14 for a sandwich/burger, don't serve a side of chips. The fact that they came from a bag that says "organic" doesn't change the fact that they are chips. This caused a ding on both the value and food score. At least the setting was fun, the lamb burger was tasty, and my company was great. Maybe I will feel compelled to return and give a higher score, or edit this one. read more

Vegan, gluten-free oasis! There's nothing but great food here. I'd list out everything I've tried, but you might as well just download the menu! Every time I'm in Anchorage I make it a point to eat here. What a gem! read more

Wait times are awful. Incredibly slow service. 30+ minute wait for a bowl of soup. Simply awful. I've been coming here for years. It's getting worse by the day. Food is tremendous but my goodness they take forever. read more
