We had been advised that line moved fast and it was worth the wait, both true! We enjoyed several different teas and coffees, and a variety of different goodie's. Ham & cheese croissant, jalapeño muffins, sausage rolls, scones, etc. Although crowded, we were able to find a little alcove upstairs which was ideal, chairs for all and a chess board that grandkids loved. Nice extra: a window for locals who support them during the off season. Always nice to be able to show appreciation!

What a great find this was!…read more Cozy inviting feel, great coffee, and convenient location! They have a great selection of teas and sodas besides the coffee, lovely local art and jewelry for sale spread all over the location. And a cute upstairs for quiet work. We spent about 2 hours drinking our coffee and soaking up the vibe after a long hike. Would I recommend/return? Yes!

I used to be a cook, so I empathize with kitchens when trying to meet customer needs and I have become my own nightmare. Their menu has some twists on common coastal brewhouse food, and I could only safely eat one item on the menu. Despite a crazy dinner rush, our server was courteous and helpful to get me a safe meal (gf Smoked Moke Sando with a salad) - so this is for them & the cooks: THANK YOU! My Sandwich was so flavorful/seasoned/savory/fatty that I wept at the table lol. My boyfriend had an IPA and a Dad's pizza (needs a little more salt) and was very content. Service was fast despite the busy hour. Thanks y'all!

I wish I could give Frontier 5-stars because I'm so thankful we have a health foods store in Seward. Unfortunately, the pricing is too high for me to do so. I understand that much of their inventory is expensive, but some items are far too expensive. read more

They may be open until 2100, but they shut down their coffee machine at 2045 so coffee is unavailable.

They sure did! This quaint bakery was a joy to visit from start to finish. The staff was super attentive and helpful with a smile. I was craving a nice, soft cookie, and they had SIX delicious gluten-free flavors to choose from: Red Velvet, Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip, Nutella, Matcha Macadamia, and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. Talk about a happy surprise! So often, gluten-free options feel like an afterthought at bakeries, but not here. After much deliberation, I went with the Double Chocolate Chip and enjoyed it as soon as we got back to our hotel room. DEEEE-LISH!! It was incredibly soft, rich, and flavorful without being overly sweet. Exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you, SupaLuck's Bakery, for making this gluten-free traveler feel so welcome.

I also grabbed the overnight oats to bring with me on a boat tour, which was perfect for a quick breakfast on the go. They accept credit cards, but there's a discount if you pay with cash. Definitely worth stopping by while in Seward!

Caines Head Coffee is a small batch artisan roast company that operates out of Seward, Alaska. Their website says they source from environmentally conscious farms.

Before…read moreordering I explained we had to be on the road to another town and asked what would come out fastest, the staff recommended exactly what we ordered. At 9:20 it wasn't ready. At 9:55, after watching people who ordered after us get served, I asked again. I was told there were still five orders ahead of us and that they had simply forgotten ours. They offered a refund and said it had been processed. I took three cold sandwiches instead and left. The refund never arrived. I called; they said it hadn't gone through but would. It still didn't. I eventually had to dispute the charge with my bank, and even then only received a partial refund: $32.10 back on a $65.86 order, with the drinks alone costing about $15 per their own menu. My bank asked for a receipt, which I didn't have, I don't recall being offered one. The hot chocolate was good. The sandwiches were average, and cold. Two pieces of advice if you go: keep your receipt, and check on your order regularly. Looking at other reviews, being forgotten seems to be a recurring problem here. Update: I finally obtained an itemized breakdown after filing a BBB complaint. It confirms what I suspected: the sausage frittata -- an item I ordered, paid for, and never received -- was not refunded at all. So they kept payment for food that never left their kitchen.

What an absolute gem. I don't think my review will do them justice…read more A cute little creperie owned and run by the original owners. Right inside the door, you'll find a full crepe station ready to prepare your breakfast. We came for an early breakfast twice on our visit, and the owner was prepped and ready to go! They have a full page of crepe options, both savory and dessert. So we ended up trying 1 of each between our visits. Their Crepe Compote Maison was light and flavorful while their Crepe Boeuf Passion had a bit more punch with the creamy beef. Both were equally delicious, just depends on what you're more in the mood for. They also have an impressive hot tea selection served steeped in a teapot. Tried a different one each of the days - both great starts to the morning. Such a cozy, homey feel inside. Our table had different news articles and information about the creperie, and it was a fun way to learn more about the restaurant. Plus, our waitress was so kind. Wonderful experience. We were only in Seward 3 days, but I would have gladly continued to eat here for breakfast each day of our full trip to Alaska to try both their crepes and their teas. Highly recommend.
