Island Brew Cafe has that wonderfully unpretentious, neighborhood feel that I tend to seek out when traveling. A modest storefront, a few tables outside, and a welcome break from the usual cruise port crowds. We grabbed breakfast and coffee and settled in outside. The breakfast sandwich on an English muffin was a great way to start the morning, and there was something particularly enjoyable about sitting there with a hot cup of coffee, watching the town go about its day. I've spent much of my career in the coffee industry, and I make a point of visiting independent cafés wherever I travel. Places like this are a big part of why. You get a little glimpse of the community beyond the souvenir shops and excursions. Ketchikan has plenty competing for your attention, especially when you're only in port for a few hours, but I'm glad we made time for Island Brew. Exactly the kind of small, independent business I love supporting when I'm on the road.

To my taste, the coffee seemed stale, with no enjoyable flavor I could pick out. The diner coffee we'd had an hour earlier was considerably better. I want to support small businesses, but coffee is the main reason I'd visit a place called Alaska Coffee, and this was disappointing. The service wasn't particularly welcoming either. I would have appreciated an honest review before spending the money, so I'm leaving one for the next person. Based on what we were served, I wouldn't return.

It seems like the menu was curated based off the chefs favorite foods as it is a variety of comfort foods mixed with a smoothie bar. From the sidewalk while passing by, I noticed their signage on their walls and windows which is what drew me inside. I loved the colorful decor and their prices were pretty reasonable considering everything was fresh made and cooked to order. They are open seasonally and the employee was very friendly.

The two women welling had a mastery of their equipment and I was excited to see they were properly making the iced lattes. Milk, shots, ice and topped of with a little more milk.

We saw a sign on the window that said they had a Reindeer Hotdog on the menu, and since the restaurant was pretty crowded, we stopped in to get some food to go. The counter had two empty seats so we were able to sit while waiting for our food to get cooked and packed up. The servers were very busy making ice cream shakes and serving plenty of plates with large portions of food at very reasonable prices. This is NOT a tourist trap but a great place to go for a home cooked meal with lots of love on the plate. The reindeer hotdog was delicious so I expect all of the food to be great and on my next visit to Ketchikan, this will be my first stop. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Solid choice if you are looking for a quick, laid back bite while touring Ketchikan. My husband…read moredoesn't eat seafood so we always need options. What struck my interest was the reindeer hot dog! What's cool about this place is you can order from any menu; breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The hot dog is yummy, but a little hard to eat because they cook it open faced, so I ate it with a fork and knife. My husband ordered the blueberry cakes, which were enormous! I'm not much of a pancake girl, but these were scrumptious and made with fresh blueberries. The portions are generous so some items are good to share. It has a classic, laid back diner feel, nothing fancy but very casual and relaxed. Their was only one waitress at the time, but she was friendly and fun and got our food to use quickly.

While we were there, we ran into the gentleman who took care of our cabin on our cruise ship. He was buying salmon and told us this was his favorite place to get it. Considering how often the crew visits Ketchikan, that says a lot! The prices were good, and I ended up spending about $500 and having everything shipped home to Hawaii with free shipping.
