    Sleepy Dog is the long standing local coffee shop for Eagle River! They were the first coffee shop here in Eagle River 30 years ago! The atmosphere is great for working or relaxing & the temperature is great as well. The staff was very nice and helpful! The coffee was good, I'd say 4/5 but sometimes it's great to find a place to escape to and get work done and this is a place for exactly that.

    Great building and friendly service! Folks in ER seem to really dig this place. I cam in a few days before Christmas and the person in front of me BOUGHT MY AMERICANO, a Christmas miracle! Unfortunately, the coffee tasted pretty burnt to me. Maybe it was over-roasted? Not sure. Will probably give them another shot to make sure it's not just me.

    Sleepy Dog Coffee is the best tasting coffee in Eagle River. They roast their own beans still - Every Sunday. I can still remember locals who would go there in the morning with their pups for their newspaper and to talk about the happenings of the town. I used to study there when I was in high school as the alternative to the hipster other place in town. I find the coffee at Sleepy Dog to always taste much better, the espresso is not burnt, and it just has the right amount of flavor to remind me that I am in small town Alaska. Sleepy Dog Coffee is forever a staple in Eagle River Alaska that will never forget its humble roots. I was happy the day I stopped in, ran into an old friend, held my warm cup, and admired the walls, even though they have changed slightly, of my Sleepy Dog Coffee house. This place is 5/5 stars and should be your place to stop for your morning cup of coffee if your just stopping through. Sit on the bench that is a treasure or just sit and listen to some locals talk about what's going on in the heart of Eagle River, Alaska.

    It's amazing. Great atmosphere and great place to study, scetch, write books,etc the staff is great and the coffee is too along with that the food is great. So if you want anything local in ancorage Alaska this is your ticket to having good coffee

    Sleepy Dog is an institution in Eagle River. Stellar service, Alaskan coffee, pet friendly, drive thru, large multi room seating, and free WiFi make this Landmark stellar in every way.

    Friendly, affordable, and easy and quick drive thru! Stopped in just for a treat with my husband and will be coming on mornings I work when I need a good coffee!

    Really good coffee/drinks. My husband had their house drip and I ordered the Vienna mocha, excellent and not too sweet!

    I wish more coffee stands would use this roast if they don't go with kaladi.

The parking lot was packed so we weren't surprised to find a busy dining room. We were told it would be a 15 minutes wait but it was actually closet to 5 minutes. Service was friendly and attentive - I ordered a coffee and it was refilled constantly throughout the entire meal which I appreciate. You'd be surprised how often that little detail gets ignored at other breakfast/brunch places. I ordered the Birria hash and it was a lovely surprise - very flavorful with tender, juicy beef over crispy fried potatoes. I loved the different sauces, salsa, pickled onions, and even sour cream self-service bar from which I helped myself to some of their delicious avocado sauce and molcajete sauce. My companion said her crab Benedict was delicious and very filling. Food portions were generous, I had enough food to take home with me for a second meal. The ambiance of the place was impressive - sort of a modern Mexican feel with some fun details like the grocery items lined up on the wall above the registers. I will definitely be back to try some of the intriguing menu items I didn't get a chance to try. I didn't have any room left to try dessert so I'll have to do that next time!

I also really loved the vibe here- very multi-ethnic LGBTQ2S friendly. Staff are so friendly and the menu is totally unique. They do breakfast AND AUTHENIC Mexican street food- which is such a cool combo. The delivery is wonderful. Bravo!!!
