Almost too swift as I didn't have time to fully peruse the plentiful options and decide what i wanted to order to go. They also offered generous samples of their daily soups, so I got to taste both delicious soups! - Ham, brie, apricot, apple sandwich on french baguette - 5/5, I was expecting the baguette to be hard to bite down on but it was the perfect mix of crunchy outside, soft inside and not difficult at all to eat! What was difficult was the portion size as I could have easily shared it with someone else - pumpkin/carrot/ginger soup - 5/5, truly scrumptious! - italian sausage white bean kale soup - 4/5, delicious and just a tad too salty - ham cheddar chive scone - 3/5, I was expecting to really like this but it was a bit too hard and had large chunks of ham in it which was generous but not what I was expecting - chocolate croissant - 4/5, solid offering but not the best I've ever had - pecan maple shortbread cookies - 4/5 I wish I had more days in Anchorage and more time (they're open 7am - 4pm and October on only open Wednesday through Sunday) and look forward to returning when I hopefully return to Anchorage!

The worn springs in the red vinyl bench seats of our booth felt like they may have come from the 1972 station wagon my family owned, when I was growing up. With that said: every booth was filled while we were there. The service was dispassionately, hospitable. We were told to find our own seats upon arrival for breakfast, despite a sign saying wait to be seated. Our server filled the basics of what was required, but there was no warmth or interest. The food took a pretty long time (30-40 mins) to be cooked. We were offered one coffee refill the whole time we were there. Our order came out in two batches, with our server stopping for about ten minutes to collect payment at the register for two sets of customers before bringing the second batch of plates for our order. The food was prepared exactly as ordered and over all was ok to pretty good. The pancakes were very tasty, and the hash-browns were perfectly golden and crisp on the outside while being juicy in the inside. My chicken fried steak was also perfectly breaded and cooked, spiced well but not too much. The sausage gravy was pretty good also, with good sausage flavor but not overly spiced. I added salt and pepper. The bacon was also cooked perfectly, slightly crispy but still a little soft. The eggs were prepared exactly as we ordered, but strangely had very little flavor. Not sure if it is an Alaska sourcing issue or what, but there was nearly no flavor at all to the eggs even after salting and peppering them. The coffee was both bland and weak. Overall I give Flo's a tentative recommendation. It probably used to be really good and could be again. But, the management and staff need to put a little heart and soul back into it, because this place could use some TLC.
