This is a real coffee shop, maybe the only one in ketchikan. All the other coffee shops sell a lot of hot food so I consider them fake coffee shops. You have to walk a little into the heart of downtown but it's worth it and the crowds are smaller. The staff are super understanding and helpful, it's a family run small business, the demeanor of the property is very much coffee shop coded and is a great first stop. I recommend their white mocha and caramel mocha frappucino! read more

What a charming place just up the hill from where the ships dock. Family-owned establishment that makes you feel at home like a local the moment you walk in. It's really, *really* tough to get a decent cup of drip coffee on vacation, much less a good one. And I ended up with a great cup of coffee! Family got chai lattes, which use the super quality Oregon chai blend. And don't even get me started on the fresh cookies! read more

I was highly influenced to try this for an early breakfast once we got off of a cruise ship because it has such great reviews. Well it's worth the hype! The owner is SO incredibly nice and embraces the chaos of swarms of cruise people wanting coffee and breakfast. It's nice to sit inside or outside. My salmon and dill scone was very unique. One of our group got biscuits and gravy and it was still cold, so she asked for it to be reheated and he apologized profusely. It was no big deal, and the customer service was excellent. Definitely check it out! read more

We were staying at the Inn at Creek Street, which is an easy walk for a delicious, light breakfast. The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure we knew when to come back for hot salmon dill scones! They were worth the wait (well balanced flavors), and I enjoyed my biscuit while I waited. The yogurt parfait with fresh fruit compote was tasty, as was the breakfast burrito. Casual, clean and comfortable atmosphere if you want to sit or you can take breakfast with you. Good looking coffee beverages too! read more

I was ordering a surprise breakfast for my husband on our anniversary (I was back home he was away on a trip) and needed to make sure his dietary restrictions could be met. I called and spoke to Seth and he assured me it would be no problem. when my husband showed up for the breakfast everyone were so kind and excited to see who was getting the surprise breakfast. he said the food was amazing and the atmosphere and employees were super cool! He definitely will be back again! read more

The best in town for sure...maybe the best in all of Alaska...The biscuit sando and the white chocolate scone were excellent. The coffee and the service was acceptable. read more

Amazing cafe! A lot of the other cafes had basic packaged pastries, I saw another Yelp review that said they have pastries made in house - fresh! I will say they did taste house made and fresh, but also soooo delicious! I got a snickerdoodle cookie and lemon loaf, I was only going to get one but it was my birthday so I treated myself and I'm so glad I did because both were just fantastic. The service was great too, very friendly and efficient considering how busy it was with all us tourists. Cozy environment on the deck, outdoor seating with rain cover protection and heaters. Inside if you really want to sit but outdoor is just a cozy vibe. Love love love, 10/10 recommendation if you only stop at one cafe in town! read more

I'm from Los Angeles, so my coffee expectations are worldclass. I'll tell you what, while the coffee brews fall a little short, the owner (SAM) and staff are absolutely worldclass, which takes my 3 stars to 4 stars. They have a great outside deck, and the coffee will address your caffeine fix. They also have plenty of outlets for computers/phones. We enjoyed our 20 minutes here. read more

Vege burrito for breakfast was terrific as was the cold brew. Got a cookie for later. Fresh food cooked to order.

Walking around town, we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat some where. The smell of smoked pork filled the air and our noses led us here. The owner is very animated, friendly and I "think" his young daughter was sitting in the place saying hello and chatting it up with guests. She was super cute whomever she was. I would come back just for this Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich! House made butter biscuit, thick cut smoked bacon, and an egg. This definitely was delicious!!!! read more

A very nice and very popular coffee shop located in downtown Ketchikan. My latte was well-made and quite tasty! The shop itself is a bit on the rustic side with a very casual and comfy environment. It has both inside and outside Terrace seating where the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Definitely a great place to check out and take a break especially if you are a fan well made coffee drinks. read more

This place was recommended by a local artist, and it was a great recommendation. Very friendly service. Nice cozy atmosphere. Our friends enjoyed their carrot spice bisque very much. My wife's gluten-free BLT was excellent. Their Mocha was good as was their coffee. I had a very good grilled cheese sandwich. It was pricey - but it in a tourist area on Alaska, so should be expected. Check them out. read more

Used to be 55 North. New owner, new paint job, better hours, awesome vibe, good coffee, awesome treats, including proper English Scones! The new owner Sam was in, so friendly with a lot of energy. This is a place worth seeking of. A bit of the beaten path but close to the ships, FD, Creek Street, etc... I like to seek out local coffe shops owned by locals living in town. Always more fun and as here often a wonderful experience read more

Whenever we cruise, the one thing I miss the most is decent cup of cappuccino or even a regular coffee, so always try to look one on the ports, IBC had good reviews, we walked by so many coffee shops on the way to IBC, this is the only place which was crowded, got cappuccino and asked them to make it 8oz instead of 12oz, but it was around 5-6oz, and it was too strong and bitter, but definitely better than what we get on cruise, my son got there biscuit, which he loved it, all the baked goodies looked fresh and tempting. read more

I visited a few days ago and will definitely be back when I visit Ketchikan again. (Locals - they have a local discount!) The food and friendliness of the staff made me feel at home, and the cozy outdoor porch was a lovely break from my busy day. I had the tuna melt combo with a Snickerdoodle cookie, and a savory scone to go for breakfast the next day. The baked goods were mouth-watering good. read more

Best coffee we have had in three days. Sam was a delight! Greeted every guest so warmly, like you were going to his home for a coffee. Can't help but adore his sweet British accent and even sweeter demeanor. He found out it was my daughter's birthday and gave her an upgrade to her drink and free cookie- no sharing with mom lol- birthday girl only. Food here was very reasonably priced- especially considering the prices of everything else around this location. It was a really cool, cam, relaxing vibe and we didn't want to leave. It was raining outside and the hot coffee, warm energy and sweet sounds just hit perfectly. Everything we had we loved. I had a breve with hazelnut, one mocha, one hot chocolate and one americano with sugar free vanilla and cream. Soooooo good. Sick of ship coffee- then go now! It's really close to creek street so make sure to stop in and see these guys. You won't be disappointed. read more
