The food and service was worth the wait. I would recommend getting the app and plan your dining experience.

Great place just like snooze in Colorado great food great staff a long wait just like snooze

Worth the wait! The food was so tasty and the servers worked as a team, love to see that in a busy restaurant.

Food - I have a number of dietary restrictions and they not only met them, they exceeded them. Service - polite, efficient and effective! Ambiance - friendly, family oriented, and lively! read more

Snow City Cafe - Vegan and Veggie ByPass! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

We tried their vegetable Benedict and French toast. The food was spot on and coffee was good. One of the best Benedict I've had. It had a lot of garlic cloves, about 4-5 per egg so be aware of garlic breath you're going to get. They have a good number of tables but tend to get busy, I recommend reserving online. Ambience is good. The service provided wasn't great despite the place being only 50% full. Our server never refilled our coffee or brought the syrup for the pancakes, she simple showed up to take the order and then to collect the cheque. read more

Snow City Cafe - stuffed French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Tourist trap. We waited about 90 minutes, and honestly, the only thing I liked was the online waitlist system, which at least lets you avoid standing around. The food was well below average. We ordered the Kodiak Eggs Benedict--the crab cake was disappointing and definitely not worth $27. The Salmon Benedict was a joke and nothing special. With so many better places to eat in Anchorage, save your time and your money. Definitely not worth the wait. read more

Great food, I enjoyed my beverage as well! I got the crab eggs Benedict and highly recommend! I usually hate crab cakes but this was fire. My London fog was delicious and only $3.50. Wonderful ambiance, a bit of a wait for a Tuesday afternoon though. My friend got biscuits and gravy and although the gravy was great the biscuit was less than fresh or at least not very good so I removed a star. However, my friend did enjoy his dish! read more

This is the cutest place in downtown Anchorage. The vibe is chill and the locals are welcoming. The service was stellar. The coffee was fresh and robust but not over the top. I tried the reindeer sausage and loved it. We all enjoyed our breakfast and should have gone back for another meal we loved it so much. Parking is metered so be prepared and you have to download an app. But it's fairly easy and worth the time and wait. Yelp recommended this place and reviews delivered. Jamen our server deserved a raise for his level of service. read more

Went for breakfast and had the salmon cake Eggs Benedict, and it was SO good! I also tried the lavender latte, which was really good too. The service was great, and our waitress was very attentive even though it was busy. The decor is so colorful and cute, and we got a nice table by the window. We went around 9 AM on a weekday and joined on waitlist, which was convenient and only waited about 20 minutes. read more

Being that our flight into Anchorage took a little longer than expected, we arrived at Snow City Cafe later than we thought. I thought that it would be incredibly busy and we'd have to wait a while to get a seat. Thankfully they were able to seat us right away and welcomed us in with a smile. The person seating us was incredibly friendly and welcoming and it was a nice feeling to have after a slightly stressful travel getting here. Our server was also super friendly and was so on it when it came to customer service. Always coming back to check on us and making sure everything was to our liking. I decided to choose the Tundra Scramble with the Sourdough toast and it was absolutely delicious. I paired it with a Mocha with soy milk and it truly did hit the spot. If you haven't tried their coffees and teas, you are also missing out. They have incredible coffee and desserts that rival even their most delicious menu items. My fiance had the Polar Bear Breakfast that featured their French Toast. I almost felt a little jealous because it also looked amazing but my love for reindeer sausage brought me back to my own plate. The cafe's seating is open and not too close together so you never feel like you're stuffed in with other customers. Signage on the walls and windows make you feel like you're in a comfortable community space and just a welcomed part of their family. They even have a hot sauce rack where I learned they will give you a gift card if you bring in your favorite sealed hot sauce to donate to the rack. I will most certainly be bringing one in next time I come into town. As we've been here a few times now, the delicious food, friendly staff, and comfortable space keeps us coming back and will most certainly be part of our routine whenever we have time to hang out in Anchorage. Hopefully we get to go to see some of their partner businesses in the future as well. 10/10 Highly recommend food stop if you're visiting. read more

Needs more stars! Absolutely lovely and very well done gem of a place. Service was superb! Get there early! It gets packed and you will know why once there. You can just swing in for coffee if don't want to stay for meal. Very attentive and super kind. Ordered the country sausage Benny and an omelette with peppers that was delicious. Got a side of fruit that was very fresh. The sausage gravy and homemade biscuit in the Benny was delicious and highly recommend!! Coffee was delicious. Even grabbed a bag to go. Get the sourdough as your toast. Seriously, nothing bad here at all. Awesome ambiance and just a chill place. Check out their pastry case and take note of the massive cinnamon rolls. Apparently they are world famous but we couldn't fit them. This place was terrific! So distracted by all the lovely things that I forgot to take pics of the actual food. Just get there!!! read more

Pretty busy crowd for breakfast so I recommend getting there early to grab a table. I was solo so was able to grab a seat immediately at the counter. I do love a good diner counter. The service was friendly and prompt. I ordered a black coffee and the Kodiak Benedict. It was pretty underwhelming. Not bad really, but with how much this restaurant was hyped up, I really expected a better breakfast. Hash brown was pretty soggy. I'm hoping this was a one off experience but I would come back to try something else. read more

Was here today for my 4th time ever and yet again, never disappointed!! The food is always so delicious, the coffee is always really good too. My server Tanner was above and beyond!! Checked in to see how I was doing, how the food was, and what ever I might need... was checking in every few minutes. Coffee never got below 1/2, water never got below 3/4... super attentive and sooooo polite. It was truly amazing considering how busy it was (and always is). There is ALWAYS a wait of an hour or so. It's a cute little restaurant that is always busy... and there's a good reason for that. So, if you have time to wait... it's worth it. I'll be back next month! read more

We were super excited to have brunch here, and this place did not disappoint! I'll start by saying that if you're visiting on the weekend, you'll probably have a wait, so I highly recommend making a reservation through Yelp before you arrive. We started with the Mimosa Royal. We'd never tried one before, but it was made with Opera Prima Brut, pomegranate juice, and fresh raspberries. Wow! The berries were incredibly fresh, and I had forgotten just how much I love pomegranate juice. We split a cinnamon roll, and in 37 years on this planet, it was the best one I've ever had. Phenomenal! Soft, delicious, and absolute perfection. For my meal, I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and an English muffin. Everything was cooked perfectly! Our server was amazing as well, very attentive and friendly. We also appreciated that the seating wasn't overly cramped. The bathrooms were clean, and the cafe as a whole had a beautiful vibe with bright, colorful decor. This is an absolute must for breakfast or brunch if you're in town. Highly recommended! read more

This place came highly recommended and hyped up but if I'm being completely honest, I feel that it is overrated. The wait times are crazy long and then we had to wait a really long time for our food. My sausage needed more time on the grill because I couldn't even cut through the casing. The french toast wasn't too bad though but I don't think it's really worth an hr wait. read more

Still my favorite spot for breakfast in Anchorage!!! This place is sooooo cute inside! Even love the oversized spoon and fork for door handles as you enter. I always come here for breakfast when I am in town and have tried most of the menu. FAVORITE SAVORY OPTION: Go with 1 of the 7 different EGGS BENEDICT options. They know how to poach an egg and have a great hollandaise sauce. Today I ordered the "country Benedict" and it was a cross between biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict. It was executed perfectly and delicious! Their bacon here is also really good! FAVORITE SWEET OPTIONS: Don't order pancakes here! They are thick and heavy. However they make the BEST "stuffed French toast" I have ever tried. The combination of the bread they use and fruit just really works. Cinnamon rolls are good (not world famous as they claim, but good). They come with WAY TOO MUCH frosting though so ask for the on the side. COFFEE: Love that they have an espresso machine! They make a decent latte but ask for them to make it hotter than normal. Otherwise it comes out lukewarm. SERVICE: This place is popular and BUSY (especially in the summer). Yelp allows you to JOIN THE WAITLIST before driving over, be sure to do this. Servers have always been attentive and personable. BATHROOM CODE: Wish they didn't require a code! Kind of a hassle. Today the code was 1534 read more

Cute spot! Parking is a little wonky, but AI said that you don't have to pay for street parking on Sundays? Who knows if that's true, but we did it and didn't get towed, so yay! We got one of the special drinks, which was an Irish cream cold brew-so good! For entrees we got the Ship Mate and the Kodiak. I was trying to get some Alaskan Salmon in my body before we left (really quick in and out trip here) so this was perfect. Food was good! We ended with the pecan sticky bun and YUM! read more

We were excited to try this popular spot during a short layover stint in the city. Nice staff, very busy even mid afternoon on a Sunday. We wanted a snack and family had the Mac and cheese, tomato soup and brownie Food was good but the wait was 40 minutes for a simple take out order. We had to ask multiple times and we saw party after party get their orders before us. Due to the long wait can't recommend this place esp when time constrained. Maybe it was a one off experience read more

So you might think this is a tourist trap - IT'S NOT! Make sure you sign up for the waitlist ahead of time and be hungry, then ENJOY! We ordered pancakes, french toast and a breakfast burrito.

Not worth the wait. I am from California so I should have know better than to order a chorizo breakfast burrito in Alaska. I am not sure if there was any meat in it, and the tortilla was soggy. It tasted like one of those egg, cheese, and sausage frozen burritos where you have to search for the tiny nibbles of beef. The red and green sauce didn't save it, weird flavors that were not good. My husband's BLT was ok, the bacon and potatoes soup had two specks of bacon in it. Still, it would have been ok except for the long wait, and the fact that I was sick and nauseous all afternoon. I only ate half of the burrito and a little bit of the soup so now sure what caused it, but I noted other Yelpers had the same issue. Service was excellent though so for that will give it three stars. Next time I would visit the El Greengo food truck across the street instead. read more

The atmosphere was really cozy and bright. The staff were really welcoming and did an amazing job servicing me. Didn't feel rushed or felt like they ignored me. They were very attentive. Food tasted great. I loved the crunchy bacon. I will say if you don't like crunchy, slightly burnt bacon. It's not for you. Eggs were great! And the strawberry jam was very tasty. The hot chocolate was absolutely delicious. They do serve your coffee and hot beverages in glass cups. I will say they did serve 12oz and above. read more

It's a highly recommended joint by everyone we spoke to so let's give it a proper go at it. Kodiak Benedict - eggs are perfect, holandaise sauce is a little muted but pleasant.

Soooo good! Met a friend here while in town. There was a pretty long line at 9am. We waited about 30 mins. The food was so tasty. I ordered the Country Style Benedict with hashbrowns and a white mocha. The mocha was really good. The Benedict was super good. Really fresh biscuit with tasty gravy. The hashbrowns were out of this world. I'm usually a potatoes type girl for breakfast over hashbrowns, but these were bomb. My husband ordered the Breakfast Burrito. He really liked it. The service was quick and our waitress was friendly. The atmosphere was a vibe. Really cool decor. Will absolutely be back if we are ever in town. read more

Snow city remains a staple for breakfast in Anchorage. This go around, I had the Huevos Rancheros and they were delightful. It comes as a full or a half order (one vs two tortillas) and I added the chorizo, which made it even tastier. While it is often busy here on the weekends and during the summer, I feel that they are efficient at moving people through and service is always exceptional! read more

My partner and I came on Saturday morning before our flight back home to California. This was on our list of must eats and of course we saved it for our last meal here in Anchorage. I ordered the Kodiak Benedict and I thought it was very good. One of the eggs was not poached and almost a soft boiled egg (jammy), it was kind of disappointing but I didn't make a fuss of it. My other egg was poached beautifully, I don't know what happened to my other egg, but accidents happen. Taste wise, I thought the hollandaise was pretty good, and the crab cakes were not salty which is nice. Holy MOLY I thought they were the best hash browns I've ever had in my life. It's perfectly crunchy and crispy on the outside but soft and tender on the inside. WOW! My partner had the Cluck Norris and he thought it was nicely prepared. The eggs were cooked to his liking (doesn't like it runny). He said it was a simple yet well made breakfast. A classic Americana breakfast that hit the spot. The service was wonderful, the hostess was lovely and our server was on top of it. I loved her tattoos ! When I come back to town, I'll be sure to visit and try something new. read more

Snow City Cafe is a popular downtown diner with the locals and tourist. Reservations aren't accepted, but you can simply be added to their wait list by either going to their website or at the host stand. There were many breakfast options and with the recommendations from my server, I got the ship creek Benedict. It comes with two poached eggs over a salmon cake. It was delicious and would have been fabulous if both of my eggs were runny. Service was ok. There is no restaurant parking, only street. read more
