On our way to the Alyeska tram and decided to stop by for some coffee and pastries randomly. The place is small in a small strip plaza off the main highway. I ordered the chai latte, and it was the first that a coffee place asked me if I wanted a vanilla/sugared chai or spiced chai. Usually places only have one type and just give you whatever. I chose spice and it was right. It's the chai style I like! I also got one of their cheese danish bc it looked so big. It was delicious! A little sweet but they were not stingy in the cheese filling. A good little break and stop if doing a road trip south on Seward highway! read more

One of the better lattes I've had in a while. Pastries were good. Ambiance is quaint and service is good. Music was fun. Overall a worthwhile stop. read more

Blueberry scone is SoOoo good! I request to have it warm and it was really good. Service is really good too. I returned back after a while and got a oatmeal cookie which was good too. Outdoor seating is nice and we enjoyed the mountain view. Recommended! read more

Craving for savory and/or sweet edibles and you'll find it here. Small bakery with standing room only caught our attention. My fave cookie: oatmeal raisins apparently sold out for the day. Female employee was very informative and easy to chat with about the baked goods. I inquired what are your most popular selling items. She mentioned cinnamon rolls, ham & cheese croissants, and snickerdoodles. We weren't near any microwaves to reheat the first two items so I opted for the third most popular item. I saved the snickerdoodles for an afternoon snack a few hours later. Every bite filled with yumminess of cinnamon and softer, baked cookie that held its shape together. read more

Unassuming coffee/cookie shop in Girdwood. They are not interested in impressing you. They are there to sell you giant cookies and mediocre lattes. And you will buy them over and over again because its comfort food on your way into/out of Girdwood or after you gas up on your way to Seward/Homer or back to Anchorage. Truck stop cookies and coffee....Alpine does the job. read more

It was $14.50 for two donuts!!! And not crazy designer donuts, or fancy bakery donuts... Safeway would rival what I bought. Don't waste your money read more

Prices are OUTRAGEOUS! $10 for a brownie $5.50 for a cookie. I get that it's along the highway and a small town, but damn. They aren't that great I'm sure you can get a better one at the gas station next door for probably half the price. read more

We arrived about 25 minutes before the bakery closed. Before entering, a man sitting outside informed us that he was taking a 5-minute smoke break. We patiently waited outside until he finished smoking. Once he was done, he went inside and started serving us. However, I noticed that he didn't wear gloves or wash his hands after smoking. Normally, the service is quite good, so I hope this was an isolated incident. The gentleman seemed quite unprofessional and appeared annoyed to serve us and the people in front of us. read more

I grabbed some amazing baked goods here this week while staying in Girdwood. My personal favorites were the maple bar which was very fluffy and light and the triple berry scone, which was absolutely enormous. Both times I visited, the staff members were very friendly and polite. The one reason I am not giving five stars is because the prices do feel steep, even from the perspective of someone coming from New York City. However, do not let that deter you from giving this place a try. read more

Great food and coffee. The employees are always super-fast, friendly, and cheerful. I LOVE their coconut-pecan bars! They're huge! They have a great selection of sugar-free syrups for your fave latte, as well! read more

This is a Bakery in strip mall outside of Anchorage. It's quick service no seating. There is a wide range of offering from donuts, to cinnamon rolls and much more. I have gone back and read about the service. It was awesome with two friendly women ser ving and making conversation. The problem, perhaps, is that busloads of Cruisers seem to get off here at times. So, that's not the bakers problem. This is the first time i have gone to a place with 3 fritter flavors Apple blueberry and a third. Get the blueberry. It was great. Lots of variety, maybe some has been sitting for a bit.Ask what just came out of the oven. All prices in Alaska are crazy. This is no exception. 6-7 bucks for a baked good. Again, not their problem they are in Alaska. If you don't like it, wait for the all you can eat buffet on cruise ship Karen read more

So incredibly overpriced for mediocre pastry's. My ham and cheese savory had a single slice of hard ham that was 2x3 inches. Yes I pulled it out and measured because I couldn't take a bit of it because of how stiff it was. Asking $7 for that is Criminal! while we're on the topic.... $2.50 up-charge for alternative milk is an absolute joke and the owner is robbing people. will never stop here again. read more

Love the donuts here and always stop on my way to girdwood from anchorage. The brownies are good, the cinnamon rolls are dry, and haven't tried the cookies but they are literally bigger than my face. read more

The young lady that works there is very nice. I bought a blueberry, strawberry muffin, only a few pieces of fruit on the top and nothing but dough on the rest of the muffin, plus very expensive for buying mostly dough, not recommended. I also bought an apple fritter, the same problem, a few pieces of apple on the top and the rest was dough. I bought 2 other items, very expensive for what they are selling, flour is cheap. Will never go back, is like cheating the customer. read more

You drive all the way here with high hopes and then you buy their overpriced pastries that taste bland and horribly made. But the service is good. The audacity of them to have a "tip" option when the pastries are so horrible smh read more

GET THE CINNAMON ROLLS!!!! And anything else they have in the case. I am an avid lover of cake donuts and some places you must have coffee to wash them down, NOT Alpine. Delicious cake donuts that are so good coffee is just the bonus not a requirement. We arrived later in the day so the cupboards were kinda bare however Justin was kind enough to give us the fresh out of the oven cinnamon rolls. We had no idea how large they were so we ordered 3.....little did we know (refer to photo) even later they were so gooey and delicious we went back 3 more times in our 3 day stay. My co workers said the scones were the best they had ever tasted. No bad choices were made! read more

Located in a strip with other restaurants so the opportunity is available for a sweet treat and coffee. The shop is small and staff is friendly. It's blueberry season in Alaska right now so the scone was speaking to me, however it wasn't a true scone. It's more of a pastry bread with blueberries. Huge disappointment for sure! read more

The baked goods really aren't that good here, and they're pretty pricey. I've grabbed baked goods (cookies & brownies) twice from when we're craving something sweet, but not going into Girdwood. The nice part is that the portion sizes are fairly large, but considering they are priced pretty high for being just plain ol stuff that evens out. The baked goods taste just ok, and I'm left feeling like if really wasn't worth the extra calories. They will curb your sweet craving, but leave you oddly dissatisfied at the same time. I can't really speak to anything else they serve, but if you're looking for mediocre bakery items, didn't get anything in Anchorage, but can't wait until you get to your destination this is your spot. read more

Busy, touristy intersection on way to Alyeska Resort. Open long hours in the summer. Gotta appreciate the effort that goes into this. When we were here, there was just one young lady doing it all. We recommend the Blueberry Fritter. Not much fruit at all in the Apple Fritter. Snickerdoodle was huge but not especially moist or flavorful. Good but not exceptional. Wish we had tried the Cheese and/or Apple Danish. Ham and Cheese Croissant was lots of flaky pastry but light on ham and cheese. Getting it heated is a must. Small, bustling place so try to have your method of payment ready. read more

Stopped by today for the first time and placed an order not paying attention to the price. 8 donuts, 2 croissants, and a coffee was $61.00. We were shocked, but I have to say worth every penny! Every item was delicious. We'll be back! read more

It's worth the stop for the apple fritters alone. They actually have apples in them! If you are a coffee snob, this might not be the place for you. If you are a chocolate chip cookie snob, this definitely isn't the place for you. I'm giving it 5 stars because I can stop here, get a warm apple fritter, and throw it in my backpack. 20 minutes later, I can eat it skiing down the slopes at Alyeska. They don't make enough stars for that. read more

Best fresh doughnuts south of Anchorage and north lol. Always fresh, big and the best. We've made it a tradition for 20 Yrs now to grab a doughnut and hit the road south. Definitely worth the stop. I recommend and a great place to take photos outside too read more

Oh my word!! Went here Friday while heading to Whittier so I thought I would get some items for breakfast.. the bakery case looked very yummy & my eyes went straight to the scones so I asked for three of them then saw that they had apple fritters so asked for one of them.. then a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie said buy me at this time I had five items on the counter. The young man rang up my purchase & I immediately thought I was in the lumberyard with the amount he told me the total came to $28.. needless to say I was totally shocked. 2 stars is price is way to high for five items & the scones didn't taste at all like a scone, which was so disappointing as I'm on our boat eating this piece of blueberry bread, just didn't have the scone texture or flavor. The apple fritter didn't have any pieces of apple in it which I've never had an apple fritter without apple. Now I will say the cookie was fantastic but I'm not quite sure how much it cost. I did ask for the recipe but there was no breakdown on prices which was disappointing. I can't afford this place therefore I will stick with Great Harvest & plan better before leaving Anchorage. read more

Well now.. Isn't this a cool location and shop... First off, be prepared to get your fill for sure... The deserts are about the size of your head... no, seriously, my cookie was at least 7" across... I picked up a brownie that must have been nearly a pound for my Pop. He was in Utah and other than having to threaten the salivating TSA Dudes at the Anchorage AP it traveled well and we arrived mostly fresh but certainly delicious. See, TSA got involved for two reasons... the density of the brownie triggered the secondary inspection of my carry on pack and when they saw that it was a delicious brownie and giant cookie the fight was nearly on... The swab of my belongings went predictably well and aside from threatening to wrassel over the goodies I was on my way. Outstanding you all... I will be back for some more Espresso and delightful tasty goodness... read more

This place has the absolute worst donuts I have ever tried. I have been wanting to try these donuts for three years. What a disappointment. I'm not a sweets person but the donuts had no glaze on it and were gummy. As if they weren't cooked at all. I must admit that the cashier was incredibly friendly. Although she did tell me I couldn't go wrong with my choice which was definitely not true. Such a huge waste of money. I got a wide variety of donuts and not one was edible. At least it's in a beautiful spot. read more

Stopped in for a latte. It was just ok. Ordered some baked goods. Coconut pecan bar was $9. There was no coconut flavor, dry and bland. The staff was not friendly. It is convenient. Wouldn't go back. read more

Today we stopped on our way out of town And this will be the last time we go there. The cookies were so soft they crumbled opening them. They have no flavor. I got the peanut butter and yup no peanut butter taste. The oatcakes tasted like raw dough and the chocolate chip was nasty. $3.50/$4.00 for cookies we had to throw away. If we had tasted them before we left i would have asked for my money back. Update- we also got a brownie and a cinnamon bun. When i asked for the brownie he had one already ready. I figured he had them ready so people don't wait. No it was old. When just opened it and it's hard as a rock. When touched the side and it was turning white. It was so hard you knew it wasn't fresh. The only thing that is half decent is the cinnamon bun. They were $5 each. So i wasted about $24 in this store and nothing was edible. Save your money and watching the amount you give them. read more

The cashier was friendly, and when I asked for a recommendation between the chocolate chip and the Nutella she was quick to point me towards the Nutella. It's a giant cookie, which is fun, but it was also pretty disappointing. It honestly didn't taste like anything. So I waited until I got home and put more Nutella on it, and then it was better. read more

Really wanted to like this place as I'm a sucker for a good pastry shop. The positive: the 2 gals working there were friendly. The not-so-positives: the cinnamon roll was dry and just okay. Definitely heat it to try to salvage it. The multi-berry scone had a bread-like flavor/texture (not what you'd expect for a scone). To add even more disappointment, our total was $15 for just those two items! I'd say skip this place, which hurts me to say about a pastry shop. read more

Hungry and thirsty after quite a bit of driving, my girlfriend and I stopped into Alpine Cafe & Bakery in hopes of finding some local treats. We were disappointed. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Alpine Cafe is a cute enough bakery and our server was very nice. She gave us some backstory around the goods and the coffee, which was helpful context given she let us know that Alpine's head baker had recently quite and it was thus up to the baristas to make the baked goods. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Large cookies ran me $3.50 each, so we grabbed two and were on our way. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? These cookies were... not great. Maybe it's because they were baked by an inexperienced barista as opposed to a baker, but the ingredients seemed entirely off with poor flavor, lacking sweetness, and texture that was too firm. No Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? I wouldn't. No Star. read more
