Few reviews are probably tougher than one for a gift shop in a town you've lived in for 10+ years…read more I came here with my Mom so she could buy postcards and other goodies for her grandkids. They have a decent mix of the two things you are apt to find in downtown Anchorage gift shops: 1) Wildly underpriced goods (magnets, t-shirts, bookmarks, wall art, etc.) made in China. 2) Very spendy items (soaps, salves, syrups, carvings, etc.) made in Alaska by Alaskans. This is my Mom's favorite downtown gift shop. The clothing and stuffed animal sections here are particularly massive. Though you aren't going to find any technical/pragmatic/outdoor clothing, this is all chiefly gear to let folks in the lower 48 know that you've been to Alaska. If you're a local, the advantage of going here is to see all the various Alaska-made goods in one place, so you can go patronize those individuals and companies directly.

They have so much merchandise here ! Lots of stuff to choose from …read more They had some tshirts in sale too!

Life long Alaskan here. impression:…read moreNot a single employee seemed to enjoy life, or the job at hand. They were uninterested in navigating a little chitchat to help you find a meaningful gift. Grunting, and pointing without smiles. I found some boxed chocolates on my own. And although the venue was large, I didn't feel comfortable surfing products in such and unfriendly atmosphere. I did see some Alaska cards in a rack...., I saw the price and thought holy s#it....i can't afford this place.... So I just got the chocolates and left. Are the chocolates good? I have no idea they were gift.

The shop is cute but the cafe was meh. I got the drink of the month, which was flavored with some…read morepistachio but it was just ok. Good for the cold but can't remember the flavor anymore. If you want to try some of the teas they sell in the shop before purchasing, they do have some available in the cafe. Though, buyer beware, I thought they'd sell locals only merchandise, like the other shops, but I saw some items from CA.

I was recommended this place for tea and donuts. Since I was coming here around lunchtime I had…read moreplanned on having lunch since they said they had a cafe with sandwiches and such on their website. The sandwich, bagel, and soup offerings were a little sad and left a lot to be desired unfortunately. They're not fresh and they were just in a to-go case, and if we had time before our next activity we would have gone someplace else. We each got a sandwich (tuna salad, chicken salad) for $7/sandwich and we wished we had just gone to a grocery store which would have been better and cheaper. The fireweed donuts, which are apparently popular, was a pretty pink but just tasted like sugar. The samovar donut was a little better and had a flavor other than sugar, but didn't taste particularly fresh. I think the only thing worth getting was the samovar tea, which is what they're known for. The most prominent flavor to me was cinnamon so if you don't like that you could skip this entirely. The bathroom was also out of order the day I went this week.
