I'm so glad I had the opportunity to stop here on the last day of my most recent Anchorage visit…read more The interior is so warm and inviting, especially during the dark, cold winter nights. Menus at bubble tea shops can be overwhelming with all the choices, but here it's well-organized: photos and descriptions of the drinks with numbers for easy ordering. Staff are very welcoming and can help you decide what to order if you need recommendations. I had the lychee Jazzy Mist with lychee jelly. I went with 75% sweetness since that's what is recommended. It ended up being too a little sweet for my liking, so I would just order a lower sweetness level next time. Despite that I did enjoy the flavor and the texture of the jelly. I look forward to coming here next time I'm in town and sampling more of the menu!

A surprisingly, their prices are reasonable given that we are in timbuktu. They always have a great monthly special and they have a rewards program as well. Follow them on Insta for updates. If you want diabetes, try their brown sugar bubble mix- its out of this world. They have a great variety of teas, fruits, toppings, milks, caffeine and refreshers. I also adore their cups and lids. They DO NOT SPILL. This place gets 10 stars from me for perfection.

I bought my own espresso machine for home to save a little money here and there (and let's be honest... sometimes we just don't feel like waiting in line), but I still love coming here because they roast their own beans. I'll grab a couple bags for my machine and get a cup while I'm there. Best of both worlds. They're just consistently good, every single time. The quality never slips, and they truly have some of the best roasted beans in town. Big fan. Love this place

We were shopping in the area and we needed coffee, stat! I looked up local cafes and this is the…read morefirst shop that popped up. First day in Alaska and was surprised that it was not a sit down cafe but more of a drive thru hut. Nothing wrong with that...but just know before you stop by kind of information. These coffee huts are everywhere around Alaska. I got the Pumpkin Cream Latte in the smallest size because I wanted to try it. I was disappointed! I love pumpkin....but this wasn't hitting the spot at all. I don't know what it was....it wasn't horrible but it didn't taste like pumpkin or creamy.

Unfortunate that this is the day I decided it was about time I left a review for House Of Bread…read more House of Bread is a lovely space, airy light dining room, and lots of baked goods, and artisanal-looking jarred goods. It feels very open. They have a menu on the wall, and a chalkboard with the types of bread available that day. Husband orders cheesy broccoli soup, and she tells him "it's not really cheesy broccoli soup, it's got lots of veggies in it too" ok, he says, but still orders a bowl. I choose Tuna Salad, and I select 14 grain as my bread choice - "sorry, we're out of that", so I then choose 9 grain - "sorry, we're out of that", and so I ask for marbled rye - "sorry, we're out of that too" I'm really quite surprised, as it's 12.30 like prime lunch time, and they're out of 3 breads already? Maybe cross them off your chalkboard, so you don't have to keep disappointing people. So i choose focaccia with my fingers crossed, and all was well. The order was complete at 12.36. We sit. We wait. Twiddling our fingers. By 20 minutes I'm becoming impatient, because I'm hangry, and the dining room is not that full - maybe 5 tables. As there are 4 staff working behind the counter (could be more round the back in the bakery) I think service could be faster, to dish up a bowl of premade soup, and assemble a cold tuna salad sandwich. Anyway i get my eye on the young man making sandwiches. He's not wearing gloves, is running his fingers through his hair, and touching his face. I see a sandwich that was on the top of the shelf, and it either fell, or he threw it, onto presumably a bench below, and then reach up angrily for a new bag of bread, I don't know - maybe he made it wrong, and was starting over. By 1.02, (26 minutes later) husband could take it no more and went to get a refund. This is not the review I expected to be leaving today, as I've never had service like this here before. I've never gone here before and had to choose my bread 4 times, due to them running out. I've never had to wait so long for lunch using pre-made ingredients. I don't know what was going on, but it's nothing like all the other times we've been here, and I hope it's a one off. If I go back and see the same staff, I'll just walk straight out again and avoid another experience like this one.

After many positive reviews from my daughter, we finally made it to Ini's to grab a few of their signature drinks. Their space is bright, intimate, and clean. We ordered a peach mango mix, watermelon, and pineapple. All milk based with real fruit chunks included. All satisfied our sweet cravings. As these are familiar Pacific Islander drinks, I only wish they had my favorite - banana. The owner and her husband who owns the barbershop next door, were present. They were welcoming and kind. Support small and local. Highly recommend Ini's.

Here for the Limited Time: The Tie Dye Frappe -- Love the drive thru here. Never been inside…read more Daughter while eating at another place I said to her I heard the Tie Dye Frapp was rated bad. She was like NO WAY! She said her friends had it - she kept insisting "Dad I got to get one" please ... my friends say it tastes like Banana Laffy Taffy ... PLEASEEEEEEEEE! LOL I caved like a good daddy okay ... we'll get you one. So no one in the drive thru so it was quick and service was quick. Judy was on speaker phone and commented I hear the Barista's hate these drinks because they take do long to make ... I got the receipt and 30 seconds later there was a Tie Dye Frappe being handed to me! Wow! So we tasted kinda very close to Banana Laffy Taffy I agreed but it's sweet for me. I'll stick to my Stevia Lattes here!

Service is good, they're friendly. Prices are pretty normal I think for a coffee shop. For kids the play is hit or miss.

But this time was good, no bullies to my daughter, she got to drive the little bus and play construction. I do like it here but when there's a party going on it's a bit much and easily feels over crowded
