Wow!! Middle Way Cafe for breakfast today!! Was going to do a simple fast food stop but decided to give them a try, and I am glad I did!! Talk about Happy Mouth Food!! I had the North Coast Omelet with organic eggs, diced reindeer sausage , added bacon, spinach caramelized onions and Swiss cheese It came with toast , they forgot to ask which type and was hidden under plate with omelet and potatoes, lol Had to ask where it was. The potatoes were perfectly flavored ,soft with a light crunch, could have been crunchier but was great I highly recommend giving them a try Oh lots of pastry options as well!! Enjoyed a Raspberry Iced mocha as well

West Coast Omelet (GF Option available)

Middle Way is a solid option for breakfast and lunch in Anchorage. Their food is consistent and tasty, the staff are friendly. Certainly one of my favorite breakfast places in Anchorage.

Mayflower Sandwich (GF Option Available) with sprouts. Yummmm

I've come to Middle Way for years, but never written a review. The food is phenomenal. Healthy, fresh and soooo good. Their baked goods are why I come. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cute place is always bustling, but a great place to work on your computer or grab lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite is any of the sandwiches, with added sprouts. The carrot cake is to die for!!! The best carrot cake I've ever had! Wonderful service and attentive staff. Lots of GF options

Been a little disappointed with how things have turned out price wise and what you get for value. My little English muffin with one egg and a few pieces of bacon for $10! Doesn't even come with anything, home fries would have been another $4.50. I was very surprised that it was basically empty at 8am on a wednesday. On the weekends they used to be very popular, maybe they still are? I paid over $30 for this breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito. Meh. Also not interested in their lunch options

This is a Denver/Asheville/mountain town place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a great vibe and lots of food choices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee and water are self serve. You order at the counter and they bring your food. Espresso options, vegan options are available. I would surely go back.

Mayflower Sandwich (GF Option Available)

I'm not a big sandwich-orderer, but I was surprisingly happy with my Mayflower order. Loved the side soup too but would have preferred it to be a little chunkier. The blue corn tortilla chips and salsa were a nice addition. Felt like I was making good, health-conscious decisions coming here :)

Can you try and have a savory bakery VEGETARIAN option? It's always so disappointing when there's bacon and chicken in everything. ?

Hi Stephanie P. I'd love to make you some savory Vegetarian Options. We are presently reworking the bakery and have introduced vegatarian quiche daily, as well as hand pies (on alternating days) and scones. You can contact me at Middleway by…

Stopped by because my mother now has me completely addicted--and I can see why…read more I picked up a variety of their tarts along with a chocolate cake filled with raspberry, and everything was absolutely delicious. Each tart had its own unique flavor, perfectly balanced and not too sweet, which made it way too easy to keep reaching for another. The chocolate raspberry cake was a standout--rich, moist, and layered with just the right amount of tartness from the raspberry filling. What really surprised me was how satisfying everything tasted without feeling heavy or overly sweetened--and even better, it didn't spike my blood sugar the way most desserts do. You can tell there's intention behind the ingredients and how everything is made. They also have plenty of other baked goods like cookies, brownies, and more, so there's definitely something for everyone. The staff are friendly, and the bakery itself is so cute--such a welcoming little spot that makes the experience even better. If you're looking for treats that feel a little more thoughtful but still indulgent, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

Our favorite bakery in Anchorage hands down. The service is great. It's a quant little store that…read more3-4 people can wait to be served, or wait at the door. The cookies are some of our favorites as well as the bran muffins. We try to go at least once a month.

Ordered a wedding cake for a casual elopement…read more Cake execution: pretty awful. To be honest, the cake wasn't all that pretty to begin with but it got worse as the day went on and it thawed out more. Picked up my cake around 4pm and by 7pm it was a tilted Mad Hatter cake. I assure you, it was not damaged during transport. When we cut into the cake to serve slices, an entire chunk of cake was missing from the bottom tier and "spackled in" with frosting. This caused the cake to collapse and the top tier slid off to one side. There was also no dowel support between to the top and bottom tiers. Just a cardboard round which slid on top of the buttercream. That probably would have been ok if it weren't for the missing chunk of cake. People asked me if I made the cake myself. Hahaha. It was pretty embarrassing. But luckily this was for a very casual elopement, not a big wedding, otherwise I would have been pretty pissed. My parents did pay a decent amount of money for this, roughly $275. I've seen far better from Walmart's bakery. The shop got stars for the following... Cake flavor: very good! I ordered the champagne cake with strawberry filling for the bottom tier and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling for the top tier. All covered in white chocolate buttercream frosting. The cake and fillings were delicious. The frosting was a little gritty, I assume from using granulated sugar, but still tasty. A little too sweet for my liking but it was still good. The cake layers were nice and thick. Customer service: Great! Response time from the shop was excellent. They promptly responded to my emails on the quote and design request. I called the shop when it was about time to pick up my cake and didn't reach anyone at first, but they called me right back. I guess I could have called the shop to let them know the issues with the cake but I have a feeling once the cake leaves their shop in good condition, they would put the blame on the customer. I just won't use them again, for cakes anyways. Anyways, thanks for reading and check out my Mad Hatter cake.

Lunch time is crazy since they added sandwiches but reminds me of back home so I don't mind at all.

You can get a sample with butter that's right they will butter your sample. And it's a slice of the bread, not a small portion like Costco. The Ambiance is that of a bread store, or a sandwich shop. Loud at times and busy. Go and grab some lunch or a loaf or two, I promise it will have you coming back every time.

It started with the many choices of bread, a 'would you like some of this delicious warm bread while you wait' paraphrasing only slightly, and then they didn't have the bread for my sandwich (I paid an extra $1 for cheesey) and they went over and beyond to compensate for such a small inconvenience. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I will be coming back before I fly out. It's truly the little things that can make a person's day Thank you to the team there on Wednesday, 4/15/26
