Absolutely amazing! If you are in the area you have to try! The best waffles I think I have ever had. I got the Mother Clucker, chicken is built into the waffle. The topping was fantastic, drinks were amazing. Excellent atmosphere, what more can I say. Fantastic place, and the staff was super friendly! read more

I absolutely love Brew@602! I saw this place while driving from Anchorage on the Seward Highway and hadn't noticed it before. I decided to swing up here to check it out with my wife and sister, not knowing what it was. After seeing that it was a coffee place, we each got a cup of coffee and it was definitely the best Americano I've had. I'm not a coffee snob so take that opinion for what it's worth - not much if you ask me. The way they utilized the passenger car is brilliant. You can dine on the lower level or the upper level and enjoy the views. They sell waffles, ice cream, and (obviously) coffee. The waffles and ice cream looked really good, but we only got the coffee, so I can't speak for their other options. If you're in the mood for coffee or a new place in Soldotna for breakfast, come to Brew@602! It's a nice change from Kaladi Brothers and a breath of fresh air. read more

Enjoyed a quick stop on our way through town. Got hot chocolates to go and we're pleasantly surprised that the train cars are attached to a building with very nice and clean restroom facilities. Cute ambiance if you wanted to eat/drink in the railcar read more

We stopped in to Brew@602 last Monday on a whim after driving by and are so happy we did!! What a unique and cool experience to have your coffee in an old train car! The staff was super friendly, the coffee was delicious, and that shop and dining car were immaculately clean and well taken care of! We didn't try the waffles, but they smelled amazing, we will next time! We will be back for sure and I know this will soon become a new favorite for many! read more

Brew@602 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Soldotna, Alaska

Yay! Finally Soldotna has a really unique and memorable coffee lounge. It's in an antique commuter rail car that's been tastefully converted into a coffee spot that's well worth taking the time to check out. The coffee is good, with some unusual offerings. Service is quick and pleasant. They also serve a limited, but creative selection of waffles. I will definitely be a frequent "passenger"! read more

Brew@602 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Soldotna, Alaska

My favorite place to journal! They have a great selection of coffee beans from Steam Dot, who also made a proprietary blend for the Brew@602. Waffles are amazing! Great service. read more

Absolutely amazing. We come from a town where coffee is a huge deal and this place made us feel right at home. We tried 3 different places the first few days and the art in making coffee just wasn't there. So glad we found this place, thanks to yelp. #1 coffee shop in Soldotna. Highly recommended if you're a coffee drinker! read more

This was the first time we have stopped by. By far the best waffles I have had in Alaska. Came down prior to dipnetting, and honestly we'll make the drive from Anchorage for some of these waffles. I will also say that atmosphere is neat, it's all housed in a retired Alaska rail road car!!! Top notch food and top notch employees! I would have posted pictures but uh it was too good and didn't last very long! read more

Best waffles ever! And so cool to sit inside a locomotive to eat your breakfast. Wonderful coffee too!

Coffee and waffles! What more could you ask for? Service is a bit slow, but the staff is friendly and the coffee is great - especially the lavender latte. Really cute location. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Such a unique creative concept for a business. They remodeled an old public rail car into an inviting classic feel coffee shop, using original seats and backs as table tops. Great ambiance with the music selection and view from atop the hill overlooking Soldotna. The coffee is top notch, with their own twist on fun tasty lattes. The owner is super sweet and the staff is very friendly. I wish I had something this amazing in my local town. Congratulations Soldotna, you've got a winner with this one. read more

Visiting Soldotna over Mother's Day, daughter took me here for a breakfast. OMG... so so good. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere is train cars, the old fashion kind, what a grand idea. The waffles were so light and very delicious, the coffee best I have had in Soldotna, plus the coffee served in ceramic cups if you eat in. Go give it a try. read more

Best London Fog tea in town & the waffles are fabulous! Love the atmosphere & consistently friendly & efficient service.

I love the idea of the train car. It's unique, fun and an overall different experience. However, my drink is usually always something I regret spending money on. I've ordered smoothies, mocha bean freezes, Italian sodas and lattes. I've ordered them all more than once thinking the last time was only a fluke. Which ends up leading to another disappointment. My 8 year old daughter is almost always easy to please and she ended up throwing away her almost full flat tire Italian soda in the garbage. Which was a shocker because usually she will consume and gulp down anything sweet. There are two places in the entire kenai and Soldotna area that serve the best coffee drinks in my opinion and this just isn't it for me. Although the cute little view on the top of the train car is something my kids absolutely adore and beg me to take them to on special occasions. (And I've gotta say, I wish I could leave this part out of my review. But since it's happened literally every time I've been a patron here I can't. But I wish I could ignore over hearing the owners having their discussions amongst themselves and their company literally EVERY time I've gone here. I don't want to believe that they are truly that snooty. But them sitting in such close proximity to their patrons and having the conversations I've heard them have, is making it real hard for me to believe otherwise and doesn't paint them to be all that nice.) read more

The ambiance of this place and the concept are so cool and unique; as one person was overheard saying, "this place doesn't seem like it belongs in Soldotna!". Brew@602, (or The Train) is a place with a lot of potential, very sweet staff, and a fresh idea to offer waffles & coffee. Loving waffles as I do this seemed like a dream come true, so I went to the grand opening, went back over the next month with friends and started bringing my out-of-towners. Hence, observations: ~The waffles are inconsistent. Some variance of the product is to be expected with different staff manning the waffle iron, but on more than one occasion my group will all order together and receive waffles of varying doneness and crispiness. Sometimes the waffles are a just a little raw inside, sometimes they're a little doughy. Other times they're PERFECT and those are the ones that keep me going back for more. ~There is no clear direction on what to do after an order is placed. People who ordered to-go kind of just stand around off to the side next to the people still in line and sometimes it gets really crowded in that small space. People who order to sit and stay awhile aren't told whether they should go ahead and find a table or stay and wait for their order at the counter. Sometimes staff brings your waffles & coffee to your table, sometimes people wait and then go sit when it's done, another time a staff member began bellowing for JOHN DOE, YOUR ORDER IS READY JOHN DOE, right above an elderly couple placing an order clearly startling them. This murky ordering process seems like it could turn into a problem the busier it gets in the summer if new customers aren't told what to do or where to go. The staff who work there are all extremely nice and I hope this place thrives. I hope this review provides valuable feedback so that Brew@602 can only get better and better because, I really do love me some waffles. read more

Excellent new place in our town and Soldotna like the train cart. New Take On Coffee & Waffles. Totally recommend this place

What an awesome atmosphere! Super cappuccinos! The lemon and maple waffles are light and delicious! The view from either level of the authentic train car is beautiful. They have a drink rewards program, too! read more

I decided to give this place a 2nd try after an initial poor experience shortly after they opened. My mother is in town visiting, so we stopped in for chai tea and a lemon waffle. The staff was friendly and efficient, and our order was delivered in a short time. The décor is wonderful, and we sat and enjoyed our treat on the upper level. Will visit again. read more

This place is very cute. The staff was wonderful and the waffles were out of this world. A must stop on your vacation.

What a unique place to be for coffee. Great views from the repurposed train car. Building attached looks like an old train station. If nothing else it's worth a visit to check it out! read more

This place is creative. Delicious. Fabulous. Excellent coffee and waffles. Smoked salmon and gluten free. Daughter says that was cool.

We love stopping for local ice cream and couldn't resist the opportunity to enjoy it on an Alaska Railway train car! Try the ice cream with espresso, it doesn't disappoint. So glad we stopped at this unique site. read more

Loved the concept. Place was sparkling clean. Staff was super friendly. Had coffee (good, not great) and smoked salmon waffle. I never expected the smoked salmon to come inside the waffle; very unique. Nice stop for coffee and snack. read more

Very cute coffee house. Not impressed with the coffee. My breve was burned. Yucky taste.
