So clever AND delicious! We had the Mo Pesto (?) & egg and ham bagel along with the Lady Godiva and a hot chocolate. Everything was tasty and the staff were so friendly! Next time I'll ask for a bit less Dijon on my bagel sandwich. Large portions too. This is a drive through, not eat in, so we went to the nearby Lake Hood to watch sea planes and catch the cool atmosphere
Stopped here for a quick bite to eat and a coffee. I was enticed by the super high Yelp reviews and the cute aesthetics of the food truck. Husband and I got the pesto sandwiches and a latte. Sandwiches were okay; they were smothered in a very salty yellow sauce that had a hint of pesto. They were also quite small and weren't really memorable. The chicken was deli meat, and there were a few pieces of arugula. Latte was good; I think Starbucks would have been better for just a latte. Admittedly, I did not try one of the cool and creative drinks like "Bad Apple", which would probably have been better if I felt like something sweet. Menu did not have vegetarian sandwiches, prices were a bit high, and sandwich was oozing with way too much sauce for me to give this 5 stars. Service was friendly, though.
First timer; found it on Yelp. This is a quick, coffee and food pull thru spot. Service at the window was great, I ordered the Mo'Joe part bc of the "Mo" and second bc it was recommended : ) Pesto was different but delicious. I will be back!
This place is a great find! Excellent coffee, convenient location, good food, friendly service. Everything I needed for a morning stop - thank you!
This is about as close as you can get to my favorite drive-thru in Palmer, while still being in Anchorage, Elwoods Drive Thru: https://www.yelp.com/biz/elwoods-drive-thru-palmer This place is a drive thru coffee shack, but it's really so much more. They have grab-and-go sandwiches that are much more than just the microwaved, freezer-aisle sandwiches of so many other coffee shacks in town. They are inventive, delicious, and made with care! To top it all off their Americanos are mighty strong! Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that the service and be mighty poky. If you're in a hurry, it's probably best to try somewhere else.
Very friendly, big drink menu... sufficient baked good selection from another local bakery. They are able to make a proper breve with heavy whipping cream - love this. They were perhaps a little heavy handed on the steaming as cups were hot to touch. But I do realize this is a personal preference. Skip the chansons support the local joints!
Garrett and his husband bought and took over Kingfisher Coffee that used to be at this location. They live in Spenard as well so it's nice to meet fellow neighbors! They were all very friendly and kind :) I absolutely love their marketing style on social media and their specials have really drawn me in, so today I went and took advantage of their small business special. ($20 gc purchase and a free 12oz drink) They have two drive up windows and it's very easy to get in and out. I also love the murals they commissioned on each side of their building. The fireweed/flowers/bee is my particular favorite. Today I tried the Noggy or Nice which is espresso, rum syrup, eggnog, whipped cream and nutmeg. It is incredibly unique and satisfying on this snowy day. Next on my list is Santa's Beard or the Spenard Fog. They offer other coffee shack items from lattes, mochas, doppio, Red Bull smoothies, frappes, etc. They also have some food items available that while I didn't sample today, I would like to in the future. Their options sound much tastier and fresher than a soggy croissant ham and cheese microwaved like other nearby shack offerings. The brekkie bagel sounded amazing - ham, cheddar, egg crepe w/ Dijon on an everything bagel They also had a few lunch options! Stop by. Try a unique mix. Ask for a suggestion! Get to know your local shops, they need us the most right now.
I love these Alaskan drive-thru coffee shops! Convenient and so good. There's so many different varieties here, I had a hard time deciding which to get. Ended up getting the Spenard Fog, becaues I love london fogs, and it did not disappoint! Had an interesting spice twist to it! The guy was super helpful and offered some sggestions and recs too. located right on spenard street. Would definitely visit again on my next visit.
Stopped by today because I needed caffeine and someone recommended this place. Honestly I'm pretty picky about coffee. I got the pumpkin pie latte and I think I saw heaven. Not only was the latte outstanding, perfectly sweet but not overly sweet, but the service was also outstanding. You can tell they really love to make these drinks and the attention to detail is something you just genuinely don't see. Try it out you won't be disappointed!
Spenard Joe's is so much more than the average coffee cart. Their drinks are gourmet and innovative, with options like Turmeric dirty Chai (my favorite) and Lavender honey lattes. You won't find any microwaved croissants here. Their sandwiches are artisanal status. The brekkie bagel and turkey sandwich are my go to's. Hands down this is my favorite coffee cart in town to grab a quick cup of Joe and a quality bite to eat.
I found Spenard Joe's here on Yelp, and it's is a cute little drive-thru coffee and breakfast/sandwich shop, which was easy to find. For my drink, I ordered "The Lady Godiva" (lavender mocha w/salted blackcurrant whipped cream) and it didn't disappoint. I also ordered a "Brekkie Bagel" (ham, cheddar, egg crepe, with Dijon on an everything bagel). It was good, but also pretty basic and not necessarily something I'd rave about. Service was great overall, but I did remove a star because I didn't appreciate feeling pressured to leave a tip. We were verbally asked if we wanted to leave a tip and how much, rather than being given the option to enter the tip ourselves. I personally prefer to choose the tip amount privately. Regardless, I would only come back for the coffee. read more

It is a permanent food truck that offers coffee, matcha, tea, breakfast sandwiches chips and pastries. Each items has a unique name: bad apple, match libre, double Dutch. I would have like to have the menu to include the pricing of the items. I do not know how much each item cost but for my drink and bagel sandwich it was around $14. I ordered the Match Libre- iced matcha with cayenne and lime. You can feel a spicy refreshing kick! If you are vegetarian you will need to request your order for an egg and cheese bagel sandwich since it is not offered in the menu. It was good and had good flavor. read more
We attended Spenard Joe's for a special "soup" event during Pride Month. They set up a fire pit, seating and invited local LGBTQ2S artists to their patio to set up tents. It was really cool. They also have a very interesting menu of teas, coffees and other beverages and creatve concoctions I've not seen offered anywhere else. We all very much enjoyed our offerings and were regretting that we hadn't visited Joe's when we lived in Spenard! read more

Our freshly made sandwiches were absolutely delicious! My husband got the Jive Turkey, his was just as delicious as mine. Seems like you can't go wrong with any orders. We were just passing through town headed to Seward. We made the right choice by stopping here for some amazing coffee and food. If we come back into Anchorage we'll definitely be stopping at Spenard Joes again. I tasted my husbands coffee (Fools Gold) wow! It's on the sweeter side, which is perfect for him, it was like a banana pancake in a cup. So good! read more
