We were excited to find a place where you can sit and enjoy a sandwich and coffee. I ordered a…read morebreakfast bagel, egg cheese and veggies on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and my husband ordered the ham and cheese on a baguette. We also ordered a caramel macchiato and a plain black coffee. If you are dining in, they do offer a refillable mug and you can get up to three free refills. The drinks came out pretty quick and to be honest, we were very disappointed. The caramel macchiato tasted medicinal and the black coffee didn't taste like coffee at all. It put quite the damper on what to expect for food if our drinks were this bad. Our food came out shortly after we got our drinks. However, the baguette sandwich wasn't anything to write home about. It was dense and pretty dry. The bagel sandwich on the other hand exceeded my expectations. I didn't have high hopes especially after having the coffee and trying the baguette sandwich, but the bagel was perfection. The cheddar on the bagel was toasted and crushed to perfected, the cheese, egg, and veggie combo was fluffy and gooey. My husband agreed that the bagel sandwich was definitely worth it and would come back for. Customer service was nice, everything came out very promptly and fairly quickly. There is quite a bit of tables inside with a variety of high and low chairs and felt very cozy.

So Ive wanted to visit this place for years. Good bagel places are rare in Alaska. But I'd like…read moreto echo what others have said about this place- the bagels are good but the service is horrible. And I'd venture to say its intentional. The people who run this place are putting out some very bad, judgemental, shitty energy. The party I arrived with all purchased and paid for their items separately. After we left, we discussed our experience and we agreed that my feeling was not isolated. I ordered last and got some items to consume on site and a half dozen of bagels to go. I let the cashier know Id let their help chosing, but I would like to include a Rosemary Salt and to exclude sweet bagels such as Raisin. She confirmed my order. When I got home, I had no Rosemary and TWO Raisin. In hindsight I'm sure it was spite. She just seemed like that kind of person (mean girl, anyone?) Since I told her I was from Anchorage she knew there was nothing I could do about it. I gave her a good tip. WTF?!?! As a business owner that is just another D move. I hope she gets a flat tire when its -35 and whoever she calls for help doesnt answer her call.

Bucko's Coffee was a great stop. We went through the food & drink line, which was super easy and…read morequick, and the person taking our order at the window was really kind. I ordered the Brr Berry, which was absolutely delicious. The blackberry soft top was out of this world, making the drink unique. The drink was incredibly refreshing and unlike anything I've had before. I also tried the trail bites and had all three flavors. My favorite was the white chocolate, super yummy. They're also vegan and gluten-free, which is great. They have a lot of drink options, along with some food choices. Overall, a really great coffee stop with creative drinks and friendly service. Would definitely go back.

We only wanted a drink so we were in that line. I got a specialty drink - a pizookie but no salt (it's salted caramel) so I got regular caramel - iced. It was so good. Not too sweet, a good taste of coffee. We also mentioned how we were out of town and the girl at the window gave us a little treat!!! She was super sweet ! I wish I got her name. The line was pretty long but went by at a moderate speed. I came in Feb so it was only drive thru (I'm not sure if it's different without all the snow lol). Overall an amazing experience! If I'm ever back in town, will def be back!

The lady at the window (with the drawn eyebrows) taking my order said "there are 7 cars behind you." I totally understand this urgency because I also work at a small takeout breakfast restaurant- we are 9 times out of 10 working understaffed and I too take orders, but do so with manners and kindness. Anywho, I felt rushed and got my drink. The drink was good though and my food was alright. Next time I will be stopping at Starbucks because I'm sure they will give me better service and respect!

I've given Sunrise multiple chances by visiting three different locations, hoping my experience…read morewould improve, but unfortunately it hasn't. The biggest issue is the coffee quality. The last several times I've ordered, the coffee has been extremely watered down to the point where I can barely taste any coffee flavor. I even tried switching things up--different milk options, iced vs. hot drinks--but the result was always the same. I've also had a frustrating issue with the lids not being secured properly. On two separate occasions, the lid wasn't fully on, which caused hot coffee to spill in my car. That's not only messy but also a safety concern. Lastly, the service has been disappointing. During one visit, the staff member was noticeably rude, and to make matters worse, a $3 tip was added without my consent. Overall, I'm really disappointed, especially after trying multiple locations. I was hoping for a better experience, but based on these repeated issues.

The North Pole Coffee Cafe inside the Fairbanks International Airport is a basic, standard airport…read morecoffee shop. If you are expecting a highly unique or specialized local cafe experience just because of the festive name, you might be underwhelmed. In terms of both drink quality and menu costs, it is pretty much on par with Starbucks. It hits the spot for a caffeine fix before your flight, but it doesn't necessarily stand You can find the counter right after the security checkpoint, right next to the dining area, making it a convenient pit stop to grab a cup before heading to your gate. They sell bags of their whole bean blends (like their signature St. Nickerdoodle or North Pole Blend), which make good, last-minute Alaskan gifts. Trivia: Even though the airport kiosk has a straightforward fast-casual feel, the brand itself is a staple of interior Alaska history. Founded in June 1992, the parent company, North Pole Coffee Roasting Company, was the very first full-service coffee roaster to operate in the entire interior of the state, small-batch roasting all of their beans locally right in the Fairbanks area. It's a perfectly fine, dependable spot to grab a latte while you wait for boarding, just don't expect anything wildly different from your usual corporate coffee chain.
