Purple moose always gets their drinks right, their specials are tasty and the coffee is good. I also love their food, and they have a good amount of desserts and cookies that Vagabond blues also has! FYI...they cannot do "Apple Pay or tap" with phones (for now lol idk) which is unfortunate so make sure you have a physical card or cash. read more

Only the finest drive through coffee and espresso. And their burritos aren't bad either. If you want amazing coffee in a pinch, this is the place for you. The coffee and burrito held us over for our 4-hour drive to Denali. I would come back here in a heart beat. read more

This coffee was so good we came back twice on the same day! I got a caramel latte and a salted caramel latte the second time and both were just as yummy. Sadly we were only passing by while on a trip but I will be daydreaming about this yummy coffee for the rest of our trip. read more

Purple Moose Espresso - a sign for a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

Purple Moose is one of the staples most any life-long resident would recognize. Though this isn't it's first, original location, this is where the iconic espresso stand has found it's permanent home in downtown Palmer. The location is ideal for business, next to one of the busiest intersections, but also slightly difficult to get in/out of during heavier traffic. It is very rare you'll find no line! As far as what they have to offer- WOW! You name it, they most likely have it or can make it! There are an abundance of flavor options. From hot to cold drinks, coffee, espresso, tea, smoothies, sodas... need a bite? They also have breakfast sandwiches, baked goods & other treats! My sister got her usual coffee beverage (I'm not a coffee drinker) so I didn't try hers, but she swears it is the best from THIS stand & no one else can compare. While I don't prefer regular Red Bull, I am a fan of their flavored versions, and this gave me the opportunity to customize it with my favorite: passion fruit! So, it's safe to say the passion fruit Red Bull Italian soda I ordered was fantastic! Not too sweet, perfect amount of flavor & just enough ice to keep it cold but not watered down. One suggestion I have for this business- place a menu large enough to read outside the stand near the drive-thru queue!!! There is literally no way to see what the options are before you get to the window. Which, in turn makes the wait a lot longer when you have to study the menu after getting to the window to decide. We wanted to have our order decided before getting to the window to speed things up a bit. It would significantly help both the customers & baristas. We literally don't have coffee stands like this in the Phoenix area. One thing I really miss about Alaska. It was great to have the opportunity to visit a few times while in town again. The ladies working here are very friendly & talented, excellent customer service. I wish I could visit more often to get my Purple Moose fix! read more

Way too long of a wait. steamer machine is down waited 10 minutes for them to tell me that they couldn't give me what I wanted.

Not bad! Open at 5:30am, has hot coffee. The eats didn't look like anything too out of the ordinary, the barista was friendly. My black Americano kept me awake for an early drive to the Matanuska Glacier. read more

Even though this is a Palmer tradition it is a disappointing cup of coffee. After waiting in line for 15 minutes I received a latte that was burnt and over priced. read more

Used to be our favorite spot but the prices have raised up too high and the cookies are hard most times.We go to other local spots for cheaper coffee and better cookies read more

Came to get hot coco for the colony Christmas parade, the line was 4-5 cars deep on both sides, and only ONE barista!! The wait was long, but that one barista was working has fast as she could, doing her very best in whah I'm sure was a stressful rush for her. Management should have planned better for a popular event in Palmer, there should have been at least two if not three baristas. Our wait time was 45 minutes, for 2 coffees and 4 child hot cocoas. read more

Excellent coffee! The barista's all make great coffee and are consistent from one to the other. Consistent day after day! Yeah, I help keep them in business! read more
