    Cafe

    What a great place. Was meeting a friend for tea. Had no idea it was a store and cafe. So many choices. I actually has mulled cider and it was fantastic. Lots of great gift options. Chocolates, jams, syrups, spices, hot chocolate, of course tea. Definitely worth a visit. Some stuff seemed really expensive but others reasonable.

    There's no other business in town quite like Summit Spice & Tea. Despite the name, they have a slew of other goodies: chocolates, chutneys, marinades, jellies and jams, honey, and locally made Wild Scoops ice cream! The store is well-organized and easy to navigate. Browsing the shelves is enjoyable in itself. When I went today they had a large display in front of the registers featuring some Alaska-made items. Great place to get some gifts for the foodie in your life. Spices are labeled alphabetically which makes it easy to find what you want. Some of the spices have "tester" jars that allow you to smell the spice. The spices come in glass jars and also small bags in case you want to try something without committing to a full size. The tea room next door is lovely. I stopped by to have some of the mulled apple cider, which was delicious, so I ended up buying a bag of the mulling spices. Some L'Aroma pastries like croissants and cookies are available, although the selection was pretty slim when I visited. There's plenty of tables and the classical music in the background makes the atmosphere relaxing. This is also where they have "First Friday" events showcasing local artists' work. Overall a wonderful place.

    I am going to up this place a star. I've mostly cut coffee out and replaced it with tea and came here to look at the earl grey, which I absolutely love with bergamot. There are a few different flavors of earl grey, and I chose the organic and it is perfect. I got some for my sister too since she likes good earl grey with bergamot as well. What I also love about this place is the fact that there is more to it than just tea, though that's the main aspect. I get chocolates, sauces, smoked salmon gifts, and spices just to name a few. I even got my pup a moose antler chew that he's enjoying. Will come again and will enjoy more tea.

    I love Summit Tea. I used to come here almost everyday after high school to study, chat with friends, or just read a book. Even now, it's still the go to place to reunite with old friends or teachers. There are two sections to the store: a shop where you can buy tea, spices, jams, chocolate, etc. and a cafe section with at least 50 different type of teas and some pastries. Some of my favorite teas are the Sunny Mountain, solstice, and mate carnival. They also let you smell as many teas as you like before choosing which is fun.

    Specialty Spices here's the place to come! You need Green Cardamom and Whole Star Anise to make that special Gin cocktail or meal? Ha Ha Here! What about green and pink peppercorns to add to your St. Patrick's corned beef to up-spice the store bought spice pack it comes with? (The pink peppercorns go good in a different Gin cocktail) I don't know the tea side but I know the spice side. They also have spicy chocolate bars. If you need a certain spice, generally speaking they have it. I have been stumped a few times here in Anchorage. I needed fennel pollen for a smoked scallop recipe, no where in town -- I had to go online.

    Earl Grey with White Tip Flowers, a smoother blend with hints of floral highlights. Darker with an after flavor of citrus.

At the moment they don't have any salt water tarfy. They guy who must be the owner or someone told us a story about how they can't get the syrup or rather the buckets to store it in. So no salt water taffy for the past two years but he said they would bring it back in the future. We ended up getting dill pickle pretzels(I didnt like them, they tasted nothing of pickles) and a pack of popcorn in the $5 bin. It was in the $5 bin because sometimes the little square food saver thing doesn't work and it doesn't seel the package. The popcorn tasted fine tho. They had some flavors I would have liked to try like everything bagel but I don't know if they do samples. The other portion of their place is where they make the products, lots of popcorn popping. You can also find their items at waffles and what not down the road and I've also seen them at Walmart in the Alaska section.

Forgot to take more pictures but I'll definitely be back for more. Their taffy is alao advertised as glacier water taffy; not sure if that makes it special but it sounds cool! $6 per bag, taffy or popcorn. I think they make kettle corn fresh in the mornings as well

It's like almond flour and food coloring and pastry sheets and stand mixer with various fruit fillings in a state of chaos LOL! In a pinch, with no fuss or muss, let the pros handle it. We've bought his treats at the South Farmers Saturday Market as he's there in Spring/Summer with his booth. I've seen he does salads too, but haven't done one yet, but Judy has had them for work events and says they're really good. We got a B-Day gift for our daughters BF and got 5 varieties.

    Sweet Caribou is the ultimate spot to satisfy your macaron cravings!…read more From the moment you walk in, your eyes are immediately drawn to the macaron display! Beautifully aligned in a vibrant array of colors. Not only do they look incredible, but they taste out of this world too! With so many great flavors to choose from, I had to go for a variety pack, and every single macarons was delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and the texture was perfect... Light, crisp shells loaded with flavorful fillings. Besides their macarons, they also offer a variety of lunch bowls, sandwiches, and weekly salad specials. During peak hours, it can get busy however the efficiency of the staff masters the challanges excellent. I'm the few times I have been, the wait has never been long even if the lane was long. So, If you're looking for a sweet treat with great service, Sweet Caribou is definitely worth a visit! *** As always translated to German for all our world travelers *** Sweet Caribou ist der hippe Ort, um Deine Lust auf Macarons zu stillen! Von dem Moment an, in dem Du hereinkommen, zieht es Deine Augen sofort auf das Macaron Display! Wunderschön angeordnet bei den knallig bunten Farben. Sie sehen nicht nur unglaublich aus, sondern schmecken auch ausgezeichnet.! Bei so einer tollen Auswahl, hab ich mich natürlich für eine gemischte Packung entscheiden, und jede einzelne Macaron war köstlich. Die Aromen waren gut ausgewogen und die Textur war perfekt ... Leichte, knusprige Schale voll delikater Füllung. Neben ihren Macaronen bietet Sweet Caribou auch eine Auswahl an Lunch-Bowls, Sandwiches und wöchentlichen Salate an. Zu Stosszeiten kann es schon schnell mal voll werden, aber die Effizienz des Personals meistert die Herausforderungen hervorragend. Bei den wenigen Malen, die ich dort war, war die Wartezeit nie lang, selbst wenn es viele Leute hatte. Wenn Du Dich wieder mal mit einem süssen Leckerbissen verwöhnen willst, und dabei grossartigen Service möchtest, ist Sweet Caribou einen Besuch wert!

    Stopped by because my mother now has me completely addicted--and I can see why…read more I picked up a variety of their tarts along with a chocolate cake filled with raspberry, and everything was absolutely delicious. Each tart had its own unique flavor, perfectly balanced and not too sweet, which made it way too easy to keep reaching for another. The chocolate raspberry cake was a standout--rich, moist, and layered with just the right amount of tartness from the raspberry filling. What really surprised me was how satisfying everything tasted without feeling heavy or overly sweetened--and even better, it didn't spike my blood sugar the way most desserts do. You can tell there's intention behind the ingredients and how everything is made. They also have plenty of other baked goods like cookies, brownies, and more, so there's definitely something for everyone. The staff are friendly, and the bakery itself is so cute--such a welcoming little spot that makes the experience even better. If you're looking for treats that feel a little more thoughtful but still indulgent, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    We visited here a second time before heading out of town and I think my first visit was better…read more I feel greeting customers could be better. I feel like while I'm acknowledged, it's mainly with a stare. It was like this last time we came in as well. I absolutely do not like the savory rolls. I've had the ham and the reindeer sausage. Both are very small (which you don't know that because they're pre-bagged) -- they were just so oily it wasn't enjoyable. I still like the Apple fritter or whatever it was I got. It looked like a fritter but it's topped with a dollop of cream cheese frosting so maybe it's some kind of cinnamon roll. It wasn't labeled so I'm not sure. My partner ate all of his pastries but didn't comment. I like that they raise funds for the community. It's not a bad shop, but I'm very big on customer service. It's also not close so I tend to go to closer bakeries

I was right, as I walked in they sold the very last thing of what I wanted. But gosh am I glad- it forced me to try something new. I didnt take a picture because it was so cold out and my hands were frozen, but it was a beautiful, elongated bakery treat. It had lovely purple Ube cream and touch of oreo crumbs on top, the base was essential much like a flat cruller, but if higher quality. It was sensational! I bought my husband something that looked lower carb that had coffee cream that also enjoyed. I got my husband custom cold jasmine sugar free tea, and I got a frosty honeydew melon drink. It was a little spendy, but its nice to have a treat one on a while.

It's like a croissant baked in a waffle form, but a bit denser than a regular croissant. What really made it special was the Ube cream -- a light, buttery frosting that wasn't too sweet. Easily a 10/10 for me. I also ordered the Ube Cruffin, which had that same croissant-like texture in a muffin shape. The inside had a light cream filling, and the top was covered with the same Ube cream. It was good, but not quite as amazing as the Croffle -- 7/10. The Ham Banh Mi was tasty and filling (6/10), and the Boba Milk Tea was decent too (6/10). Oh and I got to taste their smoked salmon chowder that my friend ordered. Very good flavor, body, and richness (8/10). Everything I had was good but nothing that was as memorable as the Ube Croffle, but it wasn't cheap -- I spent a total $32 for a sandwich, drink and 2 pastries. Then again, prices in Alaska tend to be higher in general. Overall, even though I've only been once, I'd definitely come back for that Ube Croffle -- it was the real highlight!
