I was walking down the street in Seward when I came across the Russian Store. It's not the kind of…read morestore I'd expect and some of the stuff in the window looked interesting so I stepped inside. This store was really cool. They had a lot of Russian stuff, but also some Alaskan stuff too. As for the Russian stuff, they had Soviet era hats and pins, propaganda posters, Russian lacquer boxes, Russian stacking dolls, and stuff like that. They also had carvings which I found interesting. It's an interesting store and is worth a stop.

They sold us items that ended up being counterfeit. 12k worth of relics for our church verified as…read morefakes through our bishop

Took shoes out to the car for him to try on after purchasing and they were too small. Took them back in immediately and they refused to return or do in store credit.

Looked forward to swinging into this store every-time we were in town on business or with friends and family not anymore. As business owners ourselves this is not a way to do business!!!!

Absolutely loved this gift shop during our trip to Seward. We came late in the tourist season to…read morevisit Kenai Fjords National Park, and the visitor center was already closed. Always love picking up some national park souvenirs on our adventures and was disappointed that our go-to shop was closed. However, we found nearly everything we normally buy here! And there selection is massive - so much to choose from, all at affordable prices. Souvenirs from Alaska, Kenai, Seward... you name it, we found it. If you're looking for a good souvenir from your trip, this is a wonderful place to stop.

Ok I never thought I would say this about a tourist shop that sells stuff made in China, but this…read moreplace isn't terrible- and here's why. In a small town that struggles to survive through the long winter like Seward, this shop does something remarkable. They also sell Native Made goods CHEAPER THAN ANCHORAGE. I am an advocate of selling as much local, native made goods as possible. I had a conversation with the buyer at the store and he was telling me with each passing year there are less native carvers and artists because elders are passing away. They have some incredible pieces of art in the store. For people that don't have large sums of money to invest in art pieces, they have some local pieces of jewelry, Alaska themed shirts and hats, stickers, mugs, magnets, books and cook books, etc. They have also have a whole aisle of toys for out-of-towners who are desperate to satisfy a whiny kiddo during a trip. They even have ponchos, backpacks, umbrellas and other immediate need items that are often very hard to find in a town this size. Honestly, don't judge and book by its cover. This place has you covered.

This is one the most unique thrift store we visited in Alaska. The girl behind the counter was…read morehelpful and friendly. The inventory was vast, interesting, and reasonably priced. My daughter found some great souvenirs for herself and her friends. She found a cool blouse; unique earrings (ducklings, fork and spoon) and a little bag with delicate embroidery in the front. My wife found the perfect souvenir for herself, an awesome fitted, hooded, sweatshirt with Seward Alaska printed in the back. She also found an interesting book made by Life Magazine about mysterious places and people in the world. This store is organized and clean and do not have the chaotic atmosphere of most thrift stores. We are definitely coming back next time we are in Alaska. I highly recommend this to everyone.

I got a flight of a few different red wines and all were fantastic. For lunch we shared the Alaskan charcuterie board and we each got a sandwich. "The Italian Job" and "Take me to Italy". The Italian Job was delicious! Slightly spicy, but warm and filling-highly recommend that one! The ambiance gave me Bridgerton vibes, with an Alaskan setting. Highly recommend! I see this place getting SLAMMED in the summer, so if you're a local try it hit it in the off season if you can.
