Stopped here before our Grewingk Glacier Lake hike. I'm a tea person and had an amazing chai latte here (with oatmilk). But it was the lavender shortbread cookie that had me coming back for seconds! After our hike I had to come back for the cookies and they survived the plane ride home! My only regret is that I didn't buy enough of them!!! read more

Coal Town Coffee & Tea - Lavender shortbread cookie. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Homer, Alaska

I had a salted caramel latte one day & a FV another. Both were perfection. Hot and perfectly balanced. We also tried several pastries, all of which were amazing, but the sourdough chocolate chip & the lavender shortcake were by far our favorites. The baristas are all very friendly & certainly KNOW coffee. It is a cute, tiny building with plenty of seating out front. read more

The coffee was acceptable. I appreciate that they offer an 8oz latte, which in later part of the day is all I require. It's quite rare to find this offered in Alaska. The location is take out only, with seating offered on their small but sweet patio. A few steps in either direction will take customers to the beach or the Port, so seating is really a not a consideration. What suprised me was how soon in the season they closed up shop. We went on Saturday in early September and they were open, we returned the following day on Sunday- the SAME weekend, and they had flipped over their "closed for the season" sign. Weird. It seems like places on the spit are closing earlier and earlier every year; never mind those of use who live in Alaska within driving distance who are waiting for the tourists to leave so we can enjoy local businesses. Hm. read more

Bea made a perfect iced breve! Very friendly coffee shop and excellent tasting coffee

Love this quaint little coffee shop! It's centrally located on the Homer Spit so it is perfect to walk to and from as you are exploring the harbor and spit. They have wonderful tasting coffee and and a great assortment of the best teas and chai's. Their coffee cups (changing depending on what size your order) have beautiful illustrations of the local flora and fauna of the area. Overall one of my favorite (seasonal) coffee shops in Alaska. **Note: I believe they are only open during the summer months from May-September(ish). read more

I became a regular through last summer and every time I went in the staff was so amazing and sweet! The coffee was great!! I always got a white chocolate mocha so I can't say much about any of the other drinks! Muffins and bagels were always amazing!!! For sure making it a stop again when I get the chance this summer!!! Always had great music playing and stayed calm and worked quickly when the line got long! Awesome place!! (I know this is a year old review but I just got yelp haha) read more

Organic and fair-trade!!I just have to mention this first because after loving this cute little place for 3 days and getting my daily fix, I discovered this. There isn't a sign sharing this piece of information and many people care about this, with me among them. I had an Americano almost every time I dropped in because it was fabulous, one of the best I have ever had. I like strong, full bodied coffee with an earthy taste (learned to drink coffee in the cafes of Europe). I added shots to the larger sizes and always cut the water in half. You could almost say I drank watered down espressos! I also loved the Zen chai, a lighter beverage in the afternoon to sip on, rather than my Intense Americano. It was full of flavorful spices and lightly sweetened. It is tiny inside so there's no indoor seating and only a few treats to purchase but its all about the great coffee! I wish I could have stayed longer in Homer to try other beverages, including the hot chocolate which is, I'm sure, fabulous. The coffee was so good , however, that I just couldn't miss an opportunity to have one each time I was on the spit. In fact, I went out of my way to go the spit just to get this great coffee. I'll miss you Homer and Coal Town Coffee but I hope to be back in the future! read more

Lovely little coffee shop! Serves locally brewed coffee and tea. And small breakfast treats like muffins, cookies and bagels. Open very early so you can get your fix before a fishing trip. I had Alaskan chai tea brewed by Homer Brewing Co, which was absolutely delicious. I also had a toasted bagel with smoked salmon cream cheese, which was delectable. I am all about supporting local businesses so stop by for your morning or afternoon coffee or tea! read more

A cute little coffee shop on the spit. I had the large White Chocolate Mocha and a chocolate chip cookie. They were both Devine. Stop in to visit this sweet little spot. read more

I was dying for good hot coffee, and Homer did not disappoint me. We hit this tiny joint. I had a mocha with an extra shot of espresso. Hubby had the coal town Tibet green tea (it had a cool name which I forget). Prices were just like any coffee shop, which was surprising, since all their revenue streams are just within the 4 months of summer. This place is just before the salty dog salon, and it is so tiny that it is easy to miss. Check 'em out, their coffee will warm you inside out. read more

Amazing chai! I get chai's everywhere I go and this was the best. They have an Alaska Chai, the chai concentrate made here in Alaska and I got it with a shot of expresso, still a little sweet but very good. Even went back for a second one before heading out! Great service too! read more

best hot chocolate I have had in my life to this day. I had the hot chocolate with almond milk. two days in a row. only regret is not getting a third. I still dream about it here in my homeland of new jersey, seeking something so good. My husband had the coffee and said it was on point. What a gem! read more

Great cup of coffee - I think drip is abt $2-2.75, depending on the size. Tea is properly prepared as well. No snacks! Just caffeine. Great stop on the spit if you need a jolt - service is Alaska style (read, slow). read more

The best coffee we had in Homer! The coffee tasted fantastic, and the barista definitely knew her stuff. Also really liked the cozy little cabin atmosphere. They sell a few baked goods in addition to coffee & tea, & also mugs, presses, etc. Right next to Mako's Water Taxi & across from the harbormaster's office. read more

Excellent espresso! Very friendly staff! Highly recommend this cute coffee shop. Lots of locals.

My family stopped in here while walking around the Spit and we were not disappointed! I am a tea drinker and loved the selection of different teas (not just your standard green, black, chai). The rest of my family had coffees and had nothing but great things to say. Service was great and friendly. read more

Adorable! They have two kinds of chai and non-bovine milk options. I only wish we were there for more than a day so I could drink more chai! The decor is adorable but not saccharine. I wouldn't hesitate to guess that the other beverages are amazing as well. Don't miss out on this place when you're in Homer. read more

Needed a caffeine fix before our trip out to Seldovia and was recommended this quaint little shop. BEST ALMOND LATTE EVER! Hands down this gal was a pro at her job, drink was not too sweet with a light almond flavor and wonderful espresso, smooth and just amazing. My main squeeze had a green tea and he very much enjoyed it to help soothe a sore throat. The minions shared a cookie and that was also amazing, I had to take a few bites per my mom tax! So when in Homer must get any sort of warming beverage here read more
