We also picked up the raspberry almond polenta cake $18, blueberry chamomile cake $17, and the chocolate croissant. They said to take cakes out an hour before, we cut them up and we dove right in. My favorite taste wise was the polenta cake, And the croissant. But being honest everything was kind of bland, and tasteless. We could taste the polenta cake but it also was dry. I know it's polenta it may be a little dry I get it, it was my fav after all. The cupcake was a huge disappointment! But the onion poppy seed roll was AMAZING 10/10!

The sweet potato burban cupcake was actually to die for. The cake was moist with a carm filling of pecans and bourbon topped with a light cream cheese frosting. I'm never disappointed with fire island. A jem in anchorage.

The sausage was good though, and a bit salty, which might have balanced the seasoning in this item but the chunks were too few and big to be balanced. - messy egg salad sandwich: a lot of dill, heavy on the pickled flavor, and good red onion crunch. This was just ok. It looked better than it tasted, unless you're a fan of dill. Mainly got this sandwich to try their bread but the bread was an afterthought. - maple rhubarb muffin: hard pass. Can't taste the rhubarb and barely any maple. The bottom also was more burnt than anything. It seems they may have over mixed their batter, muffin didn't have a tender crumb.

Years ago when I was an employee on this campus, I remember taking the long hike to this Cafe for…read moretheir wonderful calzones, pizzas and sandwiches. It was always VERY different than the main Cafe and warranted a call from the office to find out what their specials were. The ratio of quality, price and serving size was almost always a better deal than the cafeteria. I recently moved to UMed and was wondering if the Cafe still made these great deals. I wasn't disappointed. I tried their special of the day, chicken bacon ranch calzone (or Stromboli if you're from Jersey). Damn, it was good. I'm saving half for lunch tomorrow. It had wonderful veggies that weren't overcooked, in addition to tasty ranch sauce, bacon and chicken, with marina on the size (not needed.) They had a lot of other great selections today, including some great looking soups and sandwiches. I'll definitely be making this a regular stop for lunch. Best kept secret in Anchorage. Cheaper than a lot of places too. So bizarre it's a hospital Cafe. Bring your own drink and your tab will be under 8 bucks. When the weather is nice you can take your lunch down to the ground floor patio next to the Creek. In the winter, the second floor tables have a beautiful view of the snowy forest and sometimes their is live music in the lobby below. My favorite spot to enjoy my lunch in the 2nd floor lobby adjacent to the Cafe next to the fireplace. There's alsona few tables nestled between the large tropical plants on the sky bridge, which can be very soothing on cold winter day, and has an amazing view of the mountains.

I'm giving 1 star because the decor is beautiful, and it has a very Japanese theme to it. I also…read morelike the retail space, with little items to purchase. I'd been wanting to go here for the longest time, having seen someone having an afternoon tea through the window. Finally today, we decided to go. I was sure they did lunch items, but couldn't find a menu anywhere. The server apologized and handed me a menu, and pointed out the soup specials. Husband selected the loaded baked potato soup, and I chose the curried egg salad sandwich. He got an Americano (because there was no drip available) and I requested English Breakfast Tea, noticing that they had big black tubs of teas around the shelves. I requested skim milk (it wasn't available) and had to settle for whole milk. At this stage I'll point out that I am 100% English, I moved here in 2012, and it's difficult to get a good strong cup of English Breakfast Tea in town (The Perfect Cup was a noticeable exception to this, and were indeed the perfect cup of strong English black tea) but I had high hopes for somewhere called a Tea Lounge. His coffee was served quickly, but I waited a while for my tea. It arrived with the milk already in it, and had virtually no colour at all, so I could instantly tell, it wasn't strong enough. I took a sip, couldn't taste any tea, and I took it to the counter and asked for an extra tea bag. 2 of the counter staff seemed to need to deal with this issue, and kept my mug of tea behind the counter, and I was sent to the cashier to pay $5 for a brand new cup to be made. I'm quite outraged by this. I had already paid for the tea, my tea was made wrong, I was happy to pay to add an extra tea bag, or leaves to the cup I already had, or have them remake it to my liking, but I am aghast to have to pay twice for one mug of tea. After another wait, the tea was brought to the table - no milk, so I asked for milk. A jug of milk was brought, but no spoon to stir with. Again, this was weak tea. I have tea bags sent to me from home, I make it for myself every morning. This was weak tea. I had asked them to make the second mug STRONG. Am I not making myself clear? Anyway, the dining room was mostly empty, a reserved table's customers came in, and there was a guy sitting in a corner space. We had to wait an interminably long time, for a bowl of soup and cold sandwich requiring no cooking. The server brought the soup out 1st, soup splashed all over the plate. It was a nice big bowl. However, the potatoes in this soup are not baked potatoes, they're boiled. The bacon has not been cooked prior to putting it in the soup. And every other time I've had loaded baked potato soup, it's got a creamy broth. This is a runny broth. I love loaded baked potato soup, but that didn't look appealing to me at all. My egg salad sandwich followed, I was even more disappointed by this I think. I believe this egg salad is prepared in a food processor, as there are no discernible pieces of egg, it's kind of like a spread if you will, and a very thin one. A smear on one side of the bread. However if you love arugula, and tomatoes, you'd like this sandwich, because they are violently, aggressively abundant with it, to the point that I could not taste any curried egg salad whatsoever. I'll stick to making my own, at home, I shred the egg in a grater so there aren't big chunks of egg, but it still has the egg salad flavour. This was bland. Like I say, all I could taste was arugula. Best thing about this - the potato chips were fresh. I do feel VERY disappointed and let down by my experience today. It was an expensive lunch, an even more expensive mug of mediocre tea, which is ludicrous in a place calling themselves a Tea Lounge. I won't be revisiting, no matter how pretty the space.

Quaint little tea house in Anchorage with high ceilings and an intimate seating area. There are…read moresome really cozy looking chairs and fun couches to lounge on. I came here for high tea which was something new, so I had no point of reference on what to expect. Overall, I'd give it a B. The food items were good and presented in an attractive way, and I felt very ladylike eating such dainty little treats! Plenty enough for two people, I even took some home. An entire small pot of tea plus a free re-steeping is included in the cost of your ticket. Price wise, I would say everything was more than reasonable for Anchorage. My only complaint, and I'm not sure I would even call it that? is that our server seemed a little unfamiliar with the operation. In her own world a lot. Ended up cashing ourselves out at the front which was probably preferred anyway I'm sure I will be back.
