Excellent! We stumbled on the sandpiper while waiting to take our cruise. The restaurant was clean, well lite and comfortable. The wait staff were friendly. The food portions were generous. We chose two of the specials. Both were delicious. The French toast had espresso cream between two slices of home made bread. The flavor was good. The baked reindeer sausage was tasty. The sandpiper cafe is worth waiting in line for. read more

No more waffles!! Menu selection is seriously lacking basic combinations now so they can nickle ($5) and dime ($10) you for a splash of gravy or hash browns. Order arrived incorrect and the manager was very rude and argued with us without even checking with the server. When they replaced the incorrect item, it was slapped on a plate very hap hazardly and in an uncut lump as if to protest to serving $0.50 worth of the correct potatoes we ordered. Hours are limited, lines are horrendous, they close down online reservations, and they are terrible about keeping their social media up to date with specials. If you're a tourist, stay on the boat for breakfast in this town. If you're local, wait for lunch or cook at home. read more

On 9/20 we ordered takeout as it is our anniversary and we were both not feeling great. When I called to order our food, the person on the phone spoke with impatience as if my calling was ruining her day. I don't understand why people go into customer service when they have no interest in providing it. This place is close to home for me and this makes me not want to order, or go there, again. I don't like patronizing places where your presence in any form is a nuisance. read more

Nice spot. Coffee was rich and hot and they kept refilling which is always a nice touch. Not every diner does that. Orange juice was surprisingly good. I was expecting the usual diner OJ but it tasted home squeezed. Hash browns were uniquely nice, super crispy blackened on the bottom (in a good way) and thick. Eggs were, well, eggs (over medium). Only critique is that the French toast was a little gummy in the middle. This is often a challenge with extra thick FT so would avoid that. Nice ppl too. Defo recommend and don't stress about the line, hang in there, tables turn quickly. read more

It was ok, generous portion. Had the hash and eggs and Denver omelette. Hash was shredded potato heavy, Denver was ham heavy, coffee was strong and rich. Toast was like warmed bread even when asked for crisp. Service was lacking, we did order and get our food quickly, but had to ask for refill coffee, ask for jam. read more

Food was above average. But very slow and unfriendly waitresses. Salmon scramble felt like an unique treat I should try at Alaska. Fruit plate was very good portion. Except for the brown bruised spots on the banana. Service was what deterred us from recommending and coming back. Very slow and unfriendly. Two tables came after us were served coffee and orders taken before they got to us. We tried so hard to get our waitress attention to get coffee refill, both times! Very disappointed with the service. read more

I really recommend visiting Sandpiper Cafe if you are looking for helpful and friendly staff. The service was wonderful, quick, and attentive. The food hits the spot for an upscale classic diner with healthier and better quality takes on traditional eats. There are vegetarian and meat options for everyone hoping to dine. I enjoyed the change in specials so the menu never gets old! read more

Great food. Great service! Relaxing and cozy ambience... Great for hungry travelers! 10/10!

Every time we're in town we make the Sandpiper a priority for breakfast! The food is fantastic, staff are great....You can't go wrong!

Great breakfast spot! They've even won many awards for their food. The host was friendly and even shared stories about what won them some of the awards! Server was friendly and professional. The inside is cozy, sufficient seating, and noise level is average. Was excited there was a vegan French toast option and it was delicious! I do recommend! read more

We made our reservation as soon as the date opened up, requesting booth/bench seating if available as we were traveling with a very active toddler. Instead we were offered a table next to an open door leading straight out to the parking lot. There were several other open tables available (including two with bench seating) so explaining the situation we friendly asked if we could please switch. Staff gave a more or less take it or leave it response, not a great first impression. Service continued in this manner: our little one asked if he could please have plain toast rather than a pancake for his meal, but a strict no substitutions rule required us to order an additional side of toast instead. The food itself was good, but the lack of flexibility and willingness to accommodate customers did not make for a pleasant opportunity. read more

Delicious breakfast options just off the beaten path. Go early or make reservations! The sourdough ricotta pancakes were a favorite!

Definitely 4.5 starts! We have been here twice - once each of times we have been to Juneau. We have had the eggs Benedict - perfect! We have also tried the ham and cheese omelette - ham was a little chunky but overall omelette was good. We also tried the French toast - delicious!! The hash browns and the breakfast potatoes were both very good. The portions are very generous! The ambience is casual, which is nice. The servers are very nice. Highly recommend this place - it does get busy on the weekend so come early. read more

Yelp steered our family to this kind-of-hidden spot while we were in Juneau before departing for a cruise. We were all very happy with our meals! And I really appreciated the easy accommodation for my dairy free and gluten free requests. The GF bread was really good and the omlette was so full of veggies and sausage despite it missing cheese to stay dairy free. We all thought the potatoes were some of the best we've had - cooked perfectly and lightly seasoned to really compliment the rest of the meal. This place may have been worthy of five stars but it was the service and friendliness that wasn't stellar. The host was welcoming and got us seated quickly, but it seemed as if they could have used more servers as our server wasn't quite on top of things like one would expect. It was approaching too long of a wait before she finally came and greeted us at the table. Later, our son had spilled some water and she was great getting us a towel but then forgot to bring us more napkins since we had used those up. We also had to ask for jelly for our toast. On top of all this, the staff in general just didn't seem happy and appeared stressed. It sort of sets not a great tone for what should be a relaxing breakfast out. We would certainly come again if we are ever visiting Juneau again. I just hope the staff situation can improve for their sake and for the customer's. read more

The sandpiper is kinda unique in that it feels like a traditional "beach" cafe but set in Juneau, which I think is intentional given their logo is a cute sandpiper in Xtratuff boots! Between the three of us we tried the French toast special which was French bread stuffed with marscapone and blueberries, the two eggs and potato special and the veggie omelet. I had veggie omelet was a little on the brown side, and the squash seemed like a mistake. The side of fruit was biblical though, never seen anything quite like it. Wonderful sub for the potatoes. The side of salsa I got was obviously out of a bottle. The marscapone French toast was a little on the savory side to my tastes and would have benefitted from a blueberry in the cheese itself I think. Or perhaps more of a compote instead on top. Not bad but lacking something a little. In all the service was... okay, our server was nice but overwhelmed. The food wasn't the best but it was a cute little enjoyable experience and I'm willing to give it another try. 3.5 stars, but I'm willing to believe we just didn't get the best dishes on this occasion so 4 stars! read more

My go-to place when I'm in town for breakfast. Good portions and always comes out hot. Coffee isn't great (drip) but gets the job done. Staff is 90% friendly, prob just depends on their day, which is totally fair. Some regulars come in and are super friendly. Some dishes could use some more or more creative seasoning. Chef got over medium eggs 100% perfect, which a lot of places don't. Note: the grilled vegetables as a sub for potatoes is really sautéed veggies. read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot here in town, very cozy and the food is delicious. The service is amazing as well

Sunday morning and there were no biscuits. I had ordered a biscuit with gravy, so asked for their breakfast potatoes with gravy. Potatoes were cut into assorted shapes and sizes. There was even a full 1/2 potato on my place, so of course the potatoes were cooked unevenly. Someone else ordered an omelet. It was okay, nothing special - again, the potatoes were a big miss. read more

This omelet was so delicious and unique! I love how the cheese is kind of crispy on top. The potatoes were seasoned really well and cooked perfectly. Even the toast was delicious! The service was really good and the inside is super cute and clean. read more

Sandpiper Cafe - Veggie omelet with potatoes and sourdough toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

We went to the Sandpiper twice during our visit to Juneau and it was excellent both times. It's one of the few vegetarian/vegan friendly places in Juneau as far as we could tell. The first time we went for breakfast--it was a Wednesday morning and we waited maybe ten minutes for a table because it was quite busy inside. It's conveniently located downtown and the crowd appeared to be both tourists and locals. Once we were seated the service was prompt. We ordered coffees, the blueberry pancakes, the vegan pecan French toast, and a fruit plate. The blueberry pancakes were among the best I've had--light and fluffy and maybe a hint of a lemon flavor. They have real maple syrup for an up charge which is the only way to go in my opinion. The fruit plate large and was made up of pineapple, blueberries, apple slices and orange slices. The next time we went was for lunch and we were a table of four. Again, it was busy and we seated after a short wait. I had the grilled veggie sandwich. It was served on a fresh focaccia bread and was delicious. A person in the group had a commitment that required us to need to leave in a hurry so we flagged a server that was not ours and she was super helpful. We were given to go boxes and they got us out of there promptly. We had two great experiences at the Sandpiper and I would definitely recommend it, whether you're looking for a vegan/vegetarian breakfast or lunch, or just regular diner fare. read more

The service was very slow due to how busy it was but that is understandable so no complaints there. The food was great and this place has a home kind of feel with tons of light throughout the establishment. They do need to work on some things though such as the bathroom door was very messed up and we witnessed a kid get stuck in the bathroom. Turns out they had no way to open the door in case of emergency so the child was stuck. Eventually they broke the door down. read more

An amazing choice for Sunday brunch. Everything about the Sandpiper was spot on! From the bagels to the omelets, the food was absolutely delicious. The coffee flowed with regular refills (a big plus for the coffee lover). The menu is packed full of traditional breakfast and brunch items. However, if you are in search of the brunch mimosa or Bloody Mary this is not your spot, no adult beverages available. The service was great and the place was packed. It is obvious this is a local and tourist favorite. Our wait was very short, but I would not count in that, especially weekend mornings. It is the quintessential "cafe", perfect for casual and family dining. read more

This place is great! Delicious food, fast services, reasonably priced, friendly staff, and easy parking! Hubby had French toast special (coffee flavor for the day - it was great and unique!). I had salmon Benedict with grilled veggie and that was a well prepared dish. I was deciding between salmon Omelet and Benedict and the waitress recommended Benedict. I saw some other table ordered a giant bowl of salad and that looked fresh. From the outside, it looks like an extension to a motel but the inside is clean and renovated. read more
