This is by far one of the best eateries in Talkeetna. Staff was friendly and helpful with Truukstin a gracious guy explaining some of the ingredients. My pizza rivaled Bear Tooth and the cookies rivaled Fire Island. This eatery rocks for all foodies! read more

Service was amazing, very quick despite being hit with the morning rush! Incredibly variety of baked goods, sandwiches, and drinks to try. Our Classic Sunday sandwiches were amazing! Packed to the brim and super flavorful. They even made adjustments to remove certain toppings that my partner and I weren't fans of. Outdoor seating was very comfortable. We got a nutmeg donut muffin to share on the road as well. Perfect sharing size. If I find myself in the area again, I will be returning! read more

This has a cool atmosphere, and is a healthy option. The bagels are homemade but are pretty plain and bland. There's a pretty limited menu and it seems the menu was different than what we saw in the store. The staff was friendly though and they do have a selection of a lot of home made cookies, breads, etc read more

Great bakery and cafe a bit hidden from the road outside Talkeetna. It's pretty busy inside while it doesn't look like it from the outside. We had the toast and Sunday classic (smoked salmon bagel) and both were delicious. The bagel is a bit different than the usual kind. It's smaller, harder and a bit crunchy on the outside. The plates comes with two slices of fresh fruit which was also delicious. read more

If you are driving and are trying to make it to Talkeetna and you are hungry? This is you stop. It is not seen from the road so you have to look for the sign on the side of the road. I love going to small businesses and supporting the small business owner. The service was great and pretty straight forward. The menu changes and it is written on a chalk board. I had a bowl of the American Goulash and their breakfast sandwich. They make their own break and you can taste the freshness. They also have coffee, tea and other drinks but NO BOTTLE WATER. They do have a pitcher so you can get the water. The restaurant is quaint and wide open. They have different kinds of tables. For 2, 6 and even a high top. Sometimes they have live bands and all in case that you want to stop by and pizza on Wednesday and Saturdays. read more

This cafe is amazing! We were visiting the area and decided to stop by for breakfast; it was packed as soon as they opened (10am on Sundays) but we got a table outside in the shade. My partner and I both ordered the Classic Sunday - homemade bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and veggies. So delicious and filling! The coffee hit the spot, and we got a Nutmeg Donut Muffin for the road - perfect for sharing. Will definitely return! read more

Loved the ambiance of the cafe, kind of an old school vibe. Definitely has that rustic feel. The food was kinda mid and way overpriced. Ordered the Sunday bagel, smoked salmon was awesome but the bagel was a brick. The roof of my mouth was raw and it was about 30 chews per bite. read more

Easily the best breakfast place in Talkeetna. They don't have a fancy menu just a few breakfast and lunch items but hey less is more. We ordered Good Morning Sandwich and Classic Sunday ( bagel with cooked salmon and cream cheese). Everything was fresh and delicious! They have many baked goodies too. I got the walnut rugelach which was very soft and not too sweet. We tried their drip coffee and mocha which again did not disappoint. Make sure you help to clean up when you finish and put the utensils in the bins. It appears they still operate at 50% capacity. They also require customers to wear masks which seems uncommon in Talkeetna but that did not bother us at all. They have masks by the entrance if you don't have one. Just respect their policy. read more

Obsessed with the Morning Sandwich. The poached egg was delicious and it paired perfectly with the havarti. Chai tea was wonderful and so was the London Fog. The Mexican chocolate chai was nicely spiced as well. Saturday's cheese bread is actually filled with cheese, broccoli and mild spices. Was a little surprised to find that out. Pizzas were a hit, especially for a pizza snob like myself. I liked the Mediterranean and the cherry tomato margherita special. I appreciate how the pizza specials change weekly, just check the menu online! Great little place, especially for a small town, my only complaint is it does tend to get pretty humid inside but it is a bakery after all. read more

Loved this place. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The place is cute, warm, and welcoming. The bread was delicious - the baguette was just perfect. I had the Sunday breakfast which was a bagel with smoked salmon and it was fantastic. There's a little play kitchen which was great for my 5-year-old. She didn't complain while we waited for our food. I'm sad I missed their pizza night because I'm sure it would have been amazing. I don't know if I'll ever be in this part of the world again, but if I am - I will go here. read more

As soon as you walk in the smell of the fresh baked goods draws you in. They have a good assortment of things to choose from and it's a nice pit stop. I got the Classic Sunday and was pleased with the quality of the smoked salmon. There was a generous amount of salmon atop a spread of cream cheese, tomatoes, and fresh microgreens. The whole grain bagel it was in was also amazing. It had a nice texture to it. I also got to try the Cafe au lait and barley chaga tea. Chaga is a mushroom that has antioxidant benefits. It tasted slightly earthy but not so earthy to deter you. I loved it and plan to buy some later. read more

My husband and I visited Talkeetna with friends who recommended this place. It's tiny and eclectic inside, but the service was kind, and the food was good. The first time we went, we had the Babka, the Classic Sunday Bagel (cream cheese, tomato, smoked salmon, and micro greens), hot cocoa, Mexican chai, black bean brownie, and their Not-a-breakfast burrito with everything. It was all delicious! I dare say it was one of the best bagels I've ever had! The brownie was moist and rich without being overly sweet. The Mexican chai was spicy and warm. My husband didn't share his burrito, so there you go. My husband and I returned for lunch the following day because we were intrigued by the description of the Fancy Grilled Cheese. It was good, but not as impressive as we hoped. I thought it would have been better with green apples for that tart punch. I wanted more spinach and found the crust a little tough. My husband and I still enjoyed the grilled cheeses, which could have been more robust and flavorful. Regardless, we recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They had a diverse menu and a daily variety of baked goods that included dog treats, so stop at The Flying Squirrel! read more

they were out of the main breakfast food items, the matcha was gross id ask them to not put vinegar in it, made it taste like a chai that went sour after a week. Got a birch iced latte coconut milk, they made the latte hot, remade it wrong again it was luke warm, sour, and didn't have coconut milk they used oat. Off putting vibes from the staff read more

Wow, I haven't reviewed the Squirrel?! What is wrong with me? This is THE best pizza in Talkeetna, easily. It's some of the best pizza in Alaska. DISCLAIMER: pizza is not always available, only for pizza nights. Pizza nights are: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 4-9pm You have been warned! If you can't make a pizza night they also have great grab-n-go baked goods, some of the best in the area. Employees are vigilant about cleanliness and mask-wearing, outside seating was available! read more

Great atmosphere and food to match. Loved the meal donor wall, such a great idea for a small community. Would have gone there every day of our trip had it not conflicted with some off hours. read more

A year later and the specials on the menu for sandwiches were amazing! I asked for an americano with white chocolate sauce & cream & and they suggested that I use the cream by the coffee and then needless to say it was really bad. However, they were great about having me exchange it with something an Alaska, chai, which was great ! So maybe not the best coffee spot but definitely the best sandwich shop all in all it's still a 4 out of 5 Great place to stop for the local relaxed atmosphere, great food, and drinks. read more

Obsessed! If you are vegan (and honestly if you aren't) you MUST come here! The "trust me I'm vegan" sandwich is so fresh and delicious. It's perfect. I got 3 baked goods as I was so excited there were 3 vegan options!!! My favorite was the rhubarb bar but the cookie and the vegan balls (cannot remember what they were called but sooo good). We did wait in line about 30 minutes at 12:00 on a Tuesday, but worth it and everything came out quickly. Don't miss it! read more

With not too many options in this little artist town I can see why it got higher reviews but honestly sandwiches were underwhelming. Baked goods were also below okay. Service varied as one server was sweet while another gave off the impression that she just didn't want to be there. This is one of those last resort options type of eateries. read more

Excellent breakfast place. Nice pastry and tons of options. Must try if you are around this area. We didn't get a chance to try their pizzas. read more

This is my favorite place in Talkeetna, and in my opinion a must stop in the little town. It is not located downtown, but a few miles before off the spur road. It is an unassuming little log cabin place, but they put out some delicious treats. The cafe, like the town, has a relaxed hippie vibe to it. For a smaller cafe they have quite an extensive menu of breakfast, and lunch items. Everything I have tried has been carefully crafted, and is loaded with lots of fresh ingredients. They use fresh grown, and local ingredients whenever possible. They support Alaska grown, and also have a selection of craft beer and wine for lunch/dinner time. Their house made breads, and pastries are really delicious, and made fresh daily. They also have gluten free options, which is a plus. I have dined here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and stopped just for coffee and bakery items on several different occasions. Each time the customer service is great, and the items I order come out made to order. There typically is not much of a wait for your food even when they are busy. On their weekend pizza nights the place can be pretty packed. I really enjoy their wood fire pizzas, and think they have some of the best pizza I have eaten since moving to Alaska. They have a selection of about 5 different pizzas, and you cannot build your own creation. But, there is something for everyone from plain cheese to a daily pizza special. Pizza nights are on Fridays and Saturdays--during summer they also serve them on Wednesday and Thursday nights. For lunch their house made paninis are really good. I love the fancy grilled cheese with smoked salmon, and the panini of the week is always something tasty and creative. For pastries our favorites are the chocolate peanut butter cookies, chocolate ruggelachs, and the black brownie. They also usually have a small dessert selection of cakes and cupcakes to finish your meal. They bake a chocolate truffle cake that's super decedent and delicious. If you find yourself in Talkeetna I highly recommend stopping by the Flying Squirrel even if it just for some coffee, tea, or a pastry! read more

Very cute place and love supporting small businesses, but the day I went in, I was dissappointed in the service and food. It wasn't very busy and it took very long to complete my order of a warmed up quiche and it came to me cold. I think they need to improve on how to manage the kitchen and optimize time, putting need to heat items first before making a bunch of other plates instead of waiting till the end and then having the customer wait an additional 20 minutes when it could have been done sinultaneously. The cashier and probably owner was just standing around chatting and they only had one young girl making all the food, so that was part of the problem too in time management. read more

Nice cafe in Talkeetna with plenty of healthier options. Came here for breakfast this past weekend. We ordered ahead online which you can do through their website--I recommend this especially during the busy summer months! Everything was hot and ready for us when we arrived. I got the not-a-breakfast burrito which I didn't ask but based on the ingredients I'm pretty sure it's vegan. It was delicious and filling. My husband got the smoked salmon bagel and really enjoyed it. Good coffee too, and my husband got their house made rhubarb soda which was great. I've been here once before just to get bakery goods and those were all great too--especially their "Kimmie" cookies! Someday I'll come back and try their lunch menu. Their pizza looks good too, which they offer only a few days a week in the evening. read more

We had high hopes for this place but were disappointed. Came in for breakfast and luckily beat the rush - which literally came right behind us. There were only two people in front of us and it still took about 15 minutes for us to order. The person who was taking orders seemed incredibly overwhelmed and was not very knowledgable about the menu. We got some breakfast options and some pastries. Everything was good, but not great. We wished we had just gone back to the spinach bread truck for breakfast. The space is cute and there is a lot of variety. read more

Fantastic little place in Talkeetna. My girlfriend and I visited from Chicago and just fell in love with this place. The amount of fresh bakery items is mind blowing.

Good choice for breakfast! This is a cute local place with lots of locally grown produce and home baked bread. We got the Classic Sunday, which is a toasted bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomato and micro greens. SO GOOD. We also got the veggie quiche and the meat quiche, both which were very good. The crust is homemade and kind of crispy in a good way and the quiche was served with salsa and a couple pieces of bread. The drip coffee was good too! We got an iced cafe au lait and it was just okay. We think it was made with hot coffee, poured over ice, so it was a little watery. That's the only complaint from the whole thing though! This is such a cute place, we're so glad we chose to stop! read more
