Sometimes you have to wait 15 minutes to get to the window, but the menu and staff are great. Seasonal lotus flavors are a must try. Staff make good recommendations if you are unable to choose. They make a London fog well and I like to add lavender shot to it. Limited food menu as well, but I have not eaten anything from here. read more

Java the Hut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

These gals are great, always so friendly amd my dog loves them. Especially when they bring their littles to work with them. Knowledgeable and great coffee read more

Java has become my ride-or-die coffee stand and a staple of the Dimond/Sand Lake neighborhoods. My 20oz Breve w/half sweet Irish Cream is made perfectly every.single.time regardless of its 7 AM, 11PM or any time in-between. The ladies are ALWAYS cheerful, kind and provide exceptional customer service (yep, every single one of them). The owner is a sweetheart, works shifts on occasion, and is genuinely thankful for your business! The staff has a good system of getting your drink made, payment processed and getting you on your way quickly without making YOU feel rushed, even if there's another customer behind you. On rare occasion there can be a line of 1 or 2 cars, but it goes plenty fast. I don't drink Lotus or Red Bull drinks, but My daughter does and says they are the best in Anchorage. She is a barista at a different coffee place and out of her way to get her drinks from here. They have a good frequent customer reward system in place that thankfully doesn't require punch cards or apps. Oh and our dog loves coming here with us the car as well, the girls greet her with huge smiles which is her weakness. Java the Hut is just awesome in every way, super lucky they're in my neighborhood. read more

First time coming to this coffee shop, the lady was nice, I'm assuming it was the owner? I ordered a 12oz white chocolate mocha with pumpkin and whipped cream.. expecting it to be about 4.50/5.00 since that's an average price for my order and to my surprise it was $8.50... I was shocked and will not be returning. That price is absolutely outrageous. I don't know what made it cost so much.. there was no menu with pricing and she didn't warn me of anything costing extra. read more

I used to love coming here because it's right down the road from me. But $12.75 for a 20 oz mocha frappe w/ caramel drizzle 4 shots is egregious. The shop at the college (where everything is overpriced and okay at best) is $6.70 and it frankly tastes the same. Even Boom you can get a 32 oz frappe with 6 shots for $9. Apparently the base here is no shots, no coffee at all too. Service was great as always but that's insanity for subpar coffee. read more

Java the Hut - Mocha frappe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The baristas have always been great. But unfortunately the management seems to be the opposite, I've heard this from fellow customers along with employees and my own opinion goes along with this statement. Today an understandable mistake happened no big deal but what I learned from it is absolutely ridiculous. I was accidentally made a 16 oz instead of a 24oz they went to correct it how they are forced to not how they should as a business and a COFFEE SHOP. They poured the drink into a bigger cup and guess what ONLY ice was added no more drink or flavor NOTHING and guess what they cost different prices as well. This is absolutely crazy. Why as an owner of a business are you making your employees scam your customers, why are you scamming your costumers. Not ok at all. read more

Java the Hut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I have come here many of times and never had a problem, I actually love this coffee stand and everyone else is amazing. I was told I couldn't order anything while I was waiting for them to make an order for my DoorDash. I have ordered at many of coffee stands and my coffee literally takes a minute to make. I would say her behavior was beyond rude and her information is incorrect. read more

Ice coffee order, could have bought them on a bad day. But for the amount of choice in anc try the next one.

Java the Hut is bright green, located in the Jewel Lake Bowl parking lot. They have convenient hours, short lines and friendly baristas. I always order their chai latte's. On my most recent visit I wanted something fun for my daughters birthday. I told my barista to surprise me. She concocted an Italian soda with popping pearls, I believe, complete with whipped cream and sprinkles. She used cupcake and other yummy flavors (that I'm forgetting) that melded well. I enjoyed a few taste tests. Thank you Java the Hut, my daughter enjoyed her birthday soda. read more

Java the Hut - a cup of ice cream with sprinkles - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I stopped by for two iced lattes before heading out of town. When the girl repeated my order back she only read back one of the lattes and asked if that was right. I went "and you got this latte too right?" She said no, asked what it was, and quickly added the second latte then asked if that was everything. She handed me two lattes and took my card. Then a third one came out. At this point she finally reads the full order to me and there was a latte I never even ordered on there. She told me they have absolutely no way of offering any kind of refunds and stated the system doesn't allow it before asking if I wanted the drink anyways and adding "if not I'll drink it". Sounds like a bunch of bs to me. I feel like I got scammed out of buying the barista a drink she probably gets for free anyways. read more

Really friendly and quick service The location is really good and easily spotted, they said hello as soon as we pulled up, and took our order all together. I'm couldn't be happier with my drink, Matcha is hard to come by so I'm happy they had it. I will definitely return when I'm in the area! read more

I love trying a different drink every time I visit, so many combos and fun flavors! Always a nice coffee drink to wake me up, and some nice non caffeinated drinks for a more relaxing vibe! Loveeee this place read more

Used to be my go to for Italian soda but now the workers are so rude, have the worse attitude. I came here since I'm on a time crunch, the car in front of me was here for 30 minutes waiting for their order to be made. read more

Java the hut! Glad they re painted the exterior of the place. The drinks are always great! I'm glad they have a wide verity of flavors. I usually get rose lemon and coconut redbull. Glad they are still going strong. read more

See all

Pretty friendly baristas, decent prices, but they are so SLOW. Avoid this place unless you want to wait 30 minutes plus for a cup of coffee.

The girls here are great, they remember my order and are always friendly and consistent. That's what I look for in a cup of coffee, consistent. Everyday I go to java it's the same cup of coffee (sf vanilla breve) and it tastes the same no matter who makes it. That's my favorite part. They use steam dot coffee beans and that stuff is unbeatable. I highly recommend Java the Hut! read more

This place is great there's this one employee named Araceli that makes the best drinks one of the best places for coffee in the city

I liked to go to this one for a $3.50 mocha when I was on this side of town. Their menu is a lot smaller than most huts. They give stickers and they have a punch card. They were friendly and coffee tastes good. read more

MICE DROPPING!!! I would put a 0 if that were an option. There are many reasons why I advise no one going here. I have been a couple times to give them the benefit of the doubt. Every time something was not right. But here is where I REALLY decided not to go ever again. The girls who were working were cussing and were talking about mice droppings with the coffee cups. That really disturbed me. I feel like places with mice or bug problems should get shut down. I have no idea how they could pass inspections if they have mice and mouse dropping in the shop. Over all I will not be going again and I advise that everyone else shouldn't either. read more

I LOVE Java the Hut!!! They are super friendly, very fast and the drinks are always delicious!! I didn't even go today, but I went to another coffee hut that was AWFUL and it just reminded me how much I love it here. Highly recommend!! read more

The barista's are friendly & efficient! The coffee is excellent! It's nice to get coffee with a cheerful smile!

I'm in Anchorage for a few weeks most years, and since my in laws live around the corner from this place, I'm in here almost every day. The drinks are great, the service is quick (and cute), and I get a free newspaper with my coffee. If this is your first time visit Alaska, I suggest you stop in at one of the many Coffee huts you'll see in almost every parking lot. I've been to a few and they've all been good, but this is the only one that earned serious repeat business from me. For the locals, feel free to gloat on how lucky you are. read more

The great thing about Anchorage is that there's a coffee cart on every corner. The bad thing about Anchorage is that most of the coffee you get from the corner coffee carts is terrible. Java the Hut is a standout exception. Perhaps it's because they serve Steam-Dot coffee, or maybe they just know how to brew better. Whatever the reason, I'm never disappointed. If I need some coffee when I'm out and about, I will go out of my way to visit Java the Hut. Plus, you've got to give it to them: the name 'Java the Hut' blows all other coffee puns out of the water. read more

I was only visiting for a few days, but I found gold in Alaska... Gold that is shaped like a coffee hut. I have not seen so many non-Starbucks coffee spots since before Starbucks ruined to-go coffee. Thank you, Alaska. Of all the huts, Java the Hut obviously had the best name, and the best coffee to boot. Some other reviews highlighted the lack luster experience of a drive up caffeine fix. This one did not. Thank you for being green. Literally. And thank you for your service to this planet. read more

I'm re-writing this review simply because the customer service has been lacking. When a barista tells me that I'm wrong about what my drink is (I worked in coffee for 6 years) and wants to charge me for a different drink, I think it's time to look for a new coffee stand. If you want tips, you don't tell the customer that they are wrong. I've been over charged the last couple of times I've come here. ALSO don't talk about how wrong the customer is while you're making the drink... I can hear you loud and clear outside the window. That's just rude. They also are serving steam dot coffee not kaladi, which I didn't mind previously (not a fan of SD) only because I was getting such great customer service. Oh well. read more

Wow. Great coffee!! This little lime green buildings' java girls make some great drinks. I was on my way to Starbucks when I drove by The Hut and decided to give it a try. Glad I did. Had a tall soy butterscotch latte. Ummm ummm. Give it a try!! read more

I've been going here consistently since moving nearby and the pricing seems to change although my drink order doesn't. One lady in particular seems to jack-up the price as she sees fit. The coffee isn't great and the continual price change with the mood of some of the staff makes it not worth it. Also, their punch card isn't for a free drink... it's for $3 off of one order. The last time I used a full punch card the same lady who changes the price the most changed the price in the time from handing me my drink to when she took my payment. So that she made more money on it after she saw i was using a full punch card. I always tip at least 25% so I'm not sure why she always changes/ups the price on me. read more

There's deadass coffee grounds in my redbull smoothie, it doesn't even look or taste like a redbull smoothie. The barista also forgot my bagels. read more

Awesome coffee! Wish I found this place at the beginning of my vacation not the end. Highly recommend them!

I only give two stars because the coffee is good tasting and priced well. BUT The customer service has got to change. I only work two minutes away from this shop but have been made late to work many times because of how slow the baristas are in the morning. Not only do they only have one girl working during rush hour (630 am), but if there is a regular they recognize on the other window you best believe you won't be getting even your drink order in until they've had a full convo with the regular and they received their drink. There is always a line of three or more cars on each side of the shop in the morning and it's no wonder why. Hire two girls to work in the morning. I've literally had to leave from the window/the line 5+ times due to waiting over 15 minutes where as another shop in town would only take 5 minutes even with a line like that. I can no longer go to this shop in the morning because I don't know if I will be stuck in line 5 minutes or 20 minutes. This is unacceptable. read more

Good coffee, conveniently located (for me), and usually quick. Sometimes lines get long but that's just because they are popular and a lot of people stop here on their way to work. read more

There are coffee carts every few blocks in anchorage but this one tops them! Usually, if you get a decent cup of coffee from one of the carts, only one girl working there makes good coffee, and its hit or miss if she makes your coffee that day. At Java the Hut, every employee consistently makes great coffee. I go there most mornings before work and I can count on my coffee being just as awesome as the last. I even drive across town in my days off just to get my coconut white chocolate mocha. read more

I love this little coffee stand! The drinks are always good and the service is incredibly friendly!

Love that this is walking distance for us. Our favorite coffee! They make the best drinks and they are worth the wait. Which there is always a wait! The baristas are prompt and let you know of specials or deals for the day or time of day. You get the early bird discount even if you didn't know it existed. read more

Best little coffee hut in Anchorage!!! Java the Hut is awesome! Friendly and fast service and good prices. I go there when I want a treat.
