Oh Benji's, its a good thing I dont live closer or I'd be a human whale. We were on the South-sh…read moreside of town toward the end of the day and I knew full well that Benji's would be sold out if everything, but I decided to take a chance. I was right, as I walked in they sold the very last thing of what I wanted. But gosh am I glad- it forced me to try something new. I didnt take a picture because it was so cold out and my hands were frozen, but it was a beautiful, elongated bakery treat. It had lovely purple Ube cream and touch of oreo crumbs on top, the base was essential much like a flat cruller, but if higher quality. It was sensational! I bought my husband something that looked lower carb that had coffee cream that also enjoyed. I got my husband custom cold jasmine sugar free tea, and I got a frosty honeydew melon drink. It was a little spendy, but its nice to have a treat one on a while.

I stopped by Benji's Bakery & Café in Anchorage for the first time and tried a few things. The Ube…read moreCroffle was the standout -- it was so delicious! It's like a croissant baked in a waffle form, but a bit denser than a regular croissant. What really made it special was the Ube cream -- a light, buttery frosting that wasn't too sweet. Easily a 10/10 for me. I also ordered the Ube Cruffin, which had that same croissant-like texture in a muffin shape. The inside had a light cream filling, and the top was covered with the same Ube cream. It was good, but not quite as amazing as the Croffle -- 7/10. The Ham Banh Mi was tasty and filling (6/10), and the Boba Milk Tea was decent too (6/10). Oh and I got to taste their smoked salmon chowder that my friend ordered. Very good flavor, body, and richness (8/10). Everything I had was good but nothing that was as memorable as the Ube Croffle, but it wasn't cheap -- I spent a total $32 for a sandwich, drink and 2 pastries. Then again, prices in Alaska tend to be higher in general. Overall, even though I've only been once, I'd definitely come back for that Ube Croffle -- it was the real highlight!

The ambiance of the Pantry Cafe is really cool, it has a semi-Polynesian, semi-Pacific Northwest vibe, which fits this hotel really well. They have a nice selection of items, and I definitely appreciate how they have a "paleo" breakfast plate with a lot of veggies and some eggs. I had that and also a side of reindeer sausage, all of which are dairy free. While the price was just a bit steep for the amount of food I got, I was otherwise very happy with the taste of the food. They only have plain coffee, no special coffee drinks, but I saw people bringing in coffee drinks from the attached coffee bar. Service was pretty fast, and they open at 5:30AM, which is great if you have to leave the hotel early.

The pancakes pair so well with the fried rice. The customer service is great and seating is plentiful.
