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 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

Sandpiper Cafe - Great food and friendly service! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

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

Sandpiper Cafe - Italian Sausage Omelette (no cheese) with gluten free bread, and Yukon potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

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

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

Was ok. Hostess ask if we had reservations. Half the tables are empty??? Waitress was ok gave no advice on food. Wife had salmon Benedict. Egg white barely cooked left clumps of clear egg whites in eggs. Salmon was ok. I had 1 biscuit. MICROWAVED!!! Really??? It was chewy. Wife's potato's were cold. Don't waste your time. Especially for what they charge 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

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

Not bad, for JNU. Scrambled "eggs" clearly came from a carton and the latte was disappointing. The stuffed french toast was ok. The biscuits and gravy were hard and dry and had weird bacon instead of traditional sausage. The sausage links were delicious. I'd return to try their game burgers since I haven't had lunch here in ages. Plus: no more long lines to be seated. 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

Excellent breakfast.! We were seated by a very friendly man who also cleared tables - a very good sign of staff/owner that truly care about customers.

Excellent food-Homemade bread was fantastic. Hostess was a bit surly but waitress was AMAZING. Highly recommend it.

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

a super cute and coastal feeling brunch place with delicious breakfast favorites and ice cream! bf got the mascarpone mandarin french toast, and i got the corned beef hash which was lovely. they even give you a small piece of fruit which i enjoyed. the second time we went, i got the sourdough ricotta pancake (ginormous 2 stack) combo and bf got the biscuits and gravy, which was peppery and rich. they're popular for their maple bacon ice cream/milkshake, but sadly we were unable to try it. there's also a daily special menu that they change (the food on that board seems yummy too) and is shown on their own instagram page (there's a QR code on the table for you to scan and follow). overall, this was a great brunch spot to go to when you're in juneau! read more

We had a decent wait to get a table at this popular spot. The greeter was very kind and got us to our table. Our food was great - salmon omelettes, eggs Benedict, and griddle combo plate were all delicious. Deducted two stars due to poor service from our waitress. I understand that service is a subjective experience, but it hurts to see other tables receiving much kinder and attentive service than what you're experiencing from the same waitress. Inattentiveness played a role - it was difficult to get coffee refills, and many items were forgotten on our dishes (ie butter, jam for toast). Quick shout out for those who are gluten free - I don't recommend as the GF toast is toasted in the same toaster as other bread! Ambience was nice, but don't be surprised by noise as it's a pretty popular spot. I would return again, and be willing to revisit my score here. read more

The cups and plates were dirty they didn't wash them well. It wasn't fresh dirt since it was scorched. The personnel wasn't friendly, maybe because we came 20 minutes before closing. We ordered pancakes and coffee. The cappuccino was Barbie size and too strong. Mocha was oversugared. The latte was good. Their coffee definitely doesn't worth it. Food was ordinary. read more

This is a really popular breakfast/lunch spot. We got there relatively early and got seated right away. The food itself was really good. Price point was on par with other restaurants in the area. The big turn off to us was the service. As soon as the restaurant started filling up (literally right after we got our food), our server got super pushy and brought us the check before we could even take our first bite of food. She then kept coming by and tried to take away our plates before we were done eating it. When we told her no, we're still eating, she looked quite annoyed. Then another server came by and tried to take my plate away too. I don't know what the deal was but it really ruined the ability to enjoy a nice meal. read more

Found this place via a recommendation from our taxi driver. Food was absolutely delicious!
