Coffee Shops
This downtown shop and café is a little glimpse into old Anchorage — a city that wasn’t completely about logging, fishing and tough guys. Built in 1915, the Kimball building, on Town Square Park at the corner of 5th and E, is a stop on the historic walking tour and still has antique fixtures and flooring. It’s eclectic, “quaint-meets-cool” gift and tea shop is an extension of a famed dry goods and sewing notions store that has been in business… ...more

A bona fide small-town coffee shop on Main Street. They serve good coffee and espresso drinks and have ample seating. The atmosphere is great, with lots of locals, Alaska-made art on the walls, open mic nights and art for sale. The food is standard coffee shop stuff — soups, sandwiches, baked goods. It’s healthy and tasty, but nothing special.
Started in 1986 as a coffee cart, the company has grown tremendously and is distributed throughout much of the American West.

If the Hotel Captain Cook sits in the heart of Anchorage’s buzzing business district — and it does — then this coffee bar, right off the lobby, could be its nerve center.

If you’re on your way in or out of Talkeetna, be sure to stop at Flying Squirrel Bakery Café, located at Mile 11 on the Talkeetna Spur (just 3 miles from town). The café opened in 2009 and quickly became known for their challah and rugelach, as well as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices — don’t worry, though, there’s something for everyone including meat-eaters.

Williwaw sets itself apart in a few big ways, too: for one thing, it is the only multi-use-style venue found in Anchorage — a coffeehouse-eatery-live-music space is more like something you’d see in San Francisco, Seattle or Portland. Part of Williwaw’s complex includes a branch of local coffee roaster SteamDot Coffee, and there’s even a discreetly tucked-away speakeasy on the premises.
