The Kenai quinoa dish was my favorite thing I ate when I was in Alaska and the Yukon for two weeks. Besides the fresh veggies, it comes with a large piece of salmon and a hunk of halloumi cheese on top. I liked it so much the first time that I went back to Snow City right before I left Anchorage to go home. Yum! Check online and get on the waitlist before you go. Otherwise, you might have to wait a long time. read more

We'd heard this place was popular and were so glad to find out there was an online waitlist! When I got in line we were 114th place! We were able to stay at our hotel getting things done until we were close to the top of the list, then drive out there, park and get inside when we were 3rd. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is super cute[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], service was friendly and efficient and everything we ordered was yummy! If we're ever out in Anchorage again, Snow City will be a breakfast stop for sure. read more

The eggs were done just as I ordered, coffee is good and we had a delightful efficient waitress. Just remember to join the wait-list! This place is so popular it's usually jam packed. Highly recommended. And they serve Kalady coffee which is an Alaska favorite. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe's seating is open and not too close together so you never feel like you're stuffed in with other customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome ambiance and just a chill place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

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.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute little restaurant that is always busy... and there's a good reason for that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also appreciated that the seating wasn't overly cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were clean, and the cafe as a whole had a beautiful vibe with bright, colorful decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

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

Ordered the Salmon Benedict and hash browns. The English Muffin was so tough I had to cut it with a knife. The server took it back and remade my order. It was delicious. The coffee is amazing. Be prepared for a long wait. 68 minutes. 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

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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was really cozy and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

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

After 11 years, I finally made it back to Snow City Cafe in Anchorage during a work layover. I had the salmon eggs Benedict with hash browns and a side of pancakes, and it was excellent. Salmon was rich and flavorful, hollandaise balanced and not overdone. Hash browns were crisp, and the pancakes were light and just a little sweet. Service was attentive without hovering, and the place had a a warm steady energy. Totally worth the wait. read more

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

A beautiful awesome morning amazing people of the world. We are in Anchorage, Alaska and were hitting up Snow City Cafe for some brunch brunch. 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. The crabcakes, so surface very well. Its front and center. One of the best bennies i ever had 9/10 Hashbrowns - As perfect as a hashbrown can be. Texture, crunch and flavor is how you would expect from a strong hash. Extremely superb 9.9/10 Reindeer Sausage - Perfectly cooked. Spices used are pleasant and the reindeer flavor is divine.

Where do I start? The menu is very unique with plenty of food option varieties. You can order Eggs Benedict several different ways. I ordered the red crab Benedict with a blend of normal Benedict called 1/2 and 1/2. You can also select one with all the cravings your stomach desires. The food was amble in proportion with a difficult time to finish. The hash browns are made fresh (large portion). There are pancake options and the size of the pancakes are massive. We were fortunate to have a special waitress with superb customer service experience and plenty of recommendations. One must is to make a reservation (Yelp) on line before you show up to the restaurant. I signed up 15 minutes before arrival on foot and there were 21 more reservations behind mine. I was 6 in line for a table and the team turns over the tables down to a science. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This Cafe has seating options at the counter, booths and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We only had to wait 10 minutes upon arrival before seated. There is a kiosk option once you arrive to sign in or with the hostess stand. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are one a kind art and sports memorabilia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I plan to add this to one of most special places to eat and with the warmth and sincerity upon arrival. read more

We went on a cruise that started in Anchorage, AK. We went in a extra day early to enjoy Anchorage. I HATE hotel breakfast but love breakfast. I looked up where the best breakfast was in Anchorage. It was Snow City Cafe. Folks, it was great. My wife had French toast, I had eggs and everything was perfect including great coffee. THEN we had the Cinnamon roll. To die for. GREAT Place.

While visiting town we decided to come grab breakfast here. They do not have parking but it was early enough we found street parking across the street. The inside is super cute with bright colors. It was early enough we didn't have a wait. The staff is friendly and attentive. Our waitress helped us out answering some questions about the menu. We ended up getting crab cake egg Benedict and breakfast sandwich. The smoothie was good, not too sweet not too bitter. The hash browns were so good! Overall the food and portions were good. Menu had plenty of options. Give this place a bite 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

Great food!!!! My husband and I always look for an excuse to eat here when we get into Anchorage. The breakfast food is phenomenal.

The wait time to get our food has always been very long. This time, it was the longest (50 minutes). The waitress never came to us to check on us while we waited and almost seemed to intentionally avoid us. The food here is not worth the hype (wait for a table nor the wait for the food). Unfortunately, after eating here several times over the course of the last year during the peak and off season, we highly recommend checking out other options for breakfast/brunch. read more

MAKE SURE YOU RESERVE IN ADVANCE OR YOU WILL BE WAITING AT LEAST 70 MINUTES. This place was so popular when we went that we didn't have time to eat there, so we went back the next day and reserved a spot in advance. Totally worth it. Service was great, and the breakfast was just as good, ESPECIALLY the hash browns - I don't know what they put in it or who is seasoning it back there but I felt my spirit lift up out my body and clap for joy when I tasted it. Got the egg scramble with reindeer sausage and Santa himself must've blessed it 'cause *chef's kiss* all day. I see why there's always a long wait here, and they have earned their reputation! read more
