While food is good, was a bystander when a young girl came in to have her order fixed. She was very polite about it but then the employee proceeded to tell her she did it wrong on her online order, then the employee contradicted herself etc. long story short employee was rude and then continued to speak ill of the girl when she left. Never going back. We can all get better food someplace else. read more

The food was good, but the staff yesterday made it very uncomfortable to sit there and eat. The young lady who brought our food looked depressed, the woman behind the register seemed happier with the regulars. 3 stars for the food. read more

Outstanding breakfast options, my favorite was a loaded croissant The Flying Pig. Blueberry multigrain muffin was excellent. Great coffee.

Awesome gooey sandwiches with lots of vegetarian options on the menu. You can't go wrong with any of the choices.

Very good, inexpensive breakfast. Little coffee shop, free wifi. Quick and plenty of options read more

Midnight Sun Cafe - Egg and cheese with ham and avocado bagel - Sandwiches Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

My first meal in Anchorage was very memorable. I was trying to get lunch and was unsuccessful with my first couple of places that I tried as they were closed. So I found this place on my Yelp app and LOVED this little cute cafe. It had a very funky, local, organic vibe to it with lots of plants and art all around. I went up to the counter and was really indecisive as there were so many great options. I settled on the lunch combo which is a great deal--half a sandwich, cup of soup or salad, and carrots or chips. I got the brie sandwich, a cup of the black bean chipotle soup and the carrots. The brie panini had tomatoes, spinach, garlic aioli, basil and of course brie. It was an amazing combination. The soup was pretty good too, rich and hearty. I indulged and got a chocolate chip cookie too as they had freshly made baked goods all lined up along the counter which made it hard to resist. But that cookie totally completed the meal! Was soft and chewy and bursting with good flavor. The staff here is pretty friendly and nice. Overall a great little spot downtown to have a quick and casual bite. read more

Midnight Sun Cafe - Lunch special! Half Brie sandwich, cup black bean chipotle soup, carrots (instead of chips) and chocolate cookie. - Sandwiches Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I tried this place because of the groupon. You get two sandwiches or salads, two cookies, and two bottle drinks. Good deal... The first thing I ate, was the cookie. I love chocolate chip cookies. The cookie I had was a little stale, I was disappointed that it wasn't fresh. However, it wasn't stale enough for me to stop eating it. I ordered the turkey, swiss, and cranberry sandwich. The sandwich was a little dry. I would like to have a little for cranberry on it. To me, the food was ok. I wouldn't drive out of my way to try this place again, but if I were at 5th ave mall, I might go and try again. Next time, I think I'd order a panini or one of their open faced sandwiches. read more

I'm a firm believer in first impressions. Most restaurants have to wow me in some way to make me go through the effort of returning. There's too many options in the world for me to settle on Okay food. However. I also think it's important to support local, small businesses. It's for that reason that I went back to Midnight Sun Cafe for a second try. Unfortunately, I HADN'T just caught them on a bad day or ordered the wrong thing. The second time, they're food was just as bleh. Both visits my food was dreadfully bland. Panini's and sandwiches with no condiment. Soooo I'm getting spinach and watery tomato between dry bread? Yum. The lovely things that give food flavor (like butter or spices or ANYTHING) are noticeably absent from these dishes. Even when cheese is included, it a measly thin slice that disappears under the weight of other ingredients. It's all bland, all the time. And to top it off, the produce is pitiful. If the star of your dish is veggies, they can't be old or unripe! And this cannot be simply because we're in Alaska; other restaurants do not serve me spoiled, dried out carrots or almost white tomatoes. The food is all-around disappointing. And this is such a prime location in downtown Anchorage; there should be a better presence for tourists and locals to love. Not a ho-hum, lackluster place. read more

Fun little coffee place! Got the staff pick Wedding Cake Latte... mmmmm yummy!! Coconut, vanilla and Irish Cream lattee...oh yah!!!! And the strawberry white chocolate muffin (even a day old) was soooo delish!!! Fun little place to grab coffee, sit out front and enjoy the city. read more

Midnight Sun was a fresh oasis close to my conference's hotel. Inexpensive, quick, and surprisingly good. The beef and barley soup was rich but not salty. My turkey and cranberry sandwich was a little light on the cranberry but otherwise great. Plus inexpensive. If I had found this place earlier, I likely would have explored less during lunch. read more

Ham, hominy, black eyed peas soup? YES!!! Americano? YES!!! Friendly staff? YES!!! We enjoyed all of that here at Midnight Sun! It's great spot-we'll totally be back! read more

My first time here, I like the atmosphere, the menu doesn't go much past $10, the pastries are delicious, the variety of food could please any picky eater. I ordered a blueberry muffin, a chocolate w white chocolate chips cookie, and a club salad. I am satisfied and hope to come back! read more

Nice friendly Anchorage cafe n coffee with a dozen tables. The staff are wonderful and the food is tasty. I took a star off because the tables and floors were dirty - not filthy - but crumbles and food drops and used napkin like dirty. read more

Friendly, nice staff, and pretty good coffee. Took awhile to get mine, but it had some nifty latte art in it; quite impressive. I'm disappointed they used a faux-soymilk called "Soy Blenders," which is a soy-like drink that's full of canola oil fillers. I hate that stuff, so if I come here again, I'll likely opt just for black coffee or straight espresso. Even with that to knock a star off, the shop is super cute and cozy, with lots of knick-knacks for sale, and an extensive menu (at least for a coffee shop). They're in a weird location with not a ton of street-side parking open, so parking might be hard. read more

Downtown sandwich shop that serves coffee, sandwiches, and soup. Free wifi. Nothing special. I ordered the veggie goddess and opted for a side of carrot sticks as I wasn't feeling the chip selection. Friend ordered the some roast beef sandwich. The sandwich was good, but I enjoyed the company more than the meal. Meh, maybe I'll venture here again if another suggests it or has a groupon. read more

Midnight Sun Cafe - Italian veggie goddess, $8.95. Chose carrot sticks over kettle chips. Wish the option was sun chips... - Sandwiches Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Before I'd go to school I used to stop by & grab a breakfast sandwich. They have soo many options on the menu & I like that they also have vegetarian options as well! Never disappoints read more

The sandwiches are really good! We tried the vegetarian avocado ranch and brie panino and both were amazing! The service and ambience were very good as well read more

Ok, let's start. If you want to order a BLT, add $2 for avocado, ask for it it to be LIGHTLY toasted, your gonna get a rock hard mayo Sandwich. Like if they put half the avocado and bacon that they put mayo and tomato they may be on to something. But, that they are not. Bread was so hard it tore the roof of my mouth up. Every bite was mayo filled.(Not in a good way) literally the worst BLT I've ever experienced. How hard is a BLT? Rock hard if you order it here. Far way too many options in the close area to waste your time here. I work less than a block away and as excited as i was to try something new and different, I'm Sorry I wasted my bucks. This is my second attempt down the drain. read more

This place is legit for breakfast. I had a hard time choosing that to get this morning but I wanted to do something healthy so I went with the Veggie English muffin topped with turkey. It came with egg, Swiss cheese, tomatoe and spinach. Booooy was it good. This is gonna be my go to spot for affordable breakfast sandwiches and really tasty coffee. Salad options look super good too, ill be coming back for sure (: read more

Great coffee!! They actually know how to make a dry cappuccino!!! And lattes in their for here mugs they do latte art

I ended up staying in Anchorage a few extra days longer than expected therefore I was on a budget and couldn't afford to drop lots of $$ on breakfast everyday. Thankfully I was located just minutes from the cafe. Going on a recommendation from a local who worked at the hotel I was staying at I ended up at the cafe every morning. The staff was super friendly and the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was just perfect to get my day started. They have a great selection of coffee and expresso's and the prices were very reasonable. The store is very modest and you order your food at the counter, but I am not a snob and don't mind these things one bit.So if you are looking for delicious food and a decent variety of coffee this is your place. read more

The best coffee I have ever, ever had! So happy I stopped in on my vacation to Anchorage!

We came in today intending to dine in but it was so cold we decided to get our food to go. The grilled cheese was over priced considering it was just 1/2 a sandwich & it wasn't very cheesy either. I've been here before and have had a more positive experience last time I really hope it improves read more

Walk in the door to a smile and a greeting. The guy at the counter helps you through the menu and KNOWS what they do best. He offered options and descriptions that made the meals sound like really good food. Then he delivered our food within five minutes of ordering and asked us if he could get us anything else. The WiFi worked well. The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated. The value equation for lunch was right up there near the top. Soup bursting with flavor and a ham and cheese sandwich that was huge. What can I say; they "get it"! Someone really cares that you walked in the door to spend money. Great service. Great food. read more

I would like to give more stars for this cafe. I had one bad experience here but since then I have visited back twice and both times I have received warm greetings and polite staff. What I love most about this cafe is the music, decor and their baked goods. Thank you midnight sun! read more

Ordered a to go salad. Very good salad and dressing. Fast and friendly customer service. I would order from here again. Good, Downtown location read more

I *adore* this cafe. The atmosphere is great, they change the displayed art frequently, and the food is incredible. The service is always wonderful and the staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating! I come here at least once a week, and it is most definitely my favorite cafe in Alaska. I HIGHLY recommend to everyone! read more

Hello, my husband and I stopped in with a close friend of ours who rests his head here in downtown anchorage. It's September 3rd and a chilly and cloudy morning. I'm so thankful for the food I received the veggie sandwiches are the bomb dot com and we received great service until our friend was refused service. I really hope that him being less then gently and respectfully kicked out in the middle of our meal was both horrifying and disturbing to the once peaceful atmosphere. Sadly, due to this, I won't be coming back to eat here with my husband any time soon. I would strongly encourage people to still support this small business, however. Alaska needs to support our small businesses right now. read more

This is a solid place for food and coffee, albeit, a little overpriced. But then again, everything seems to cost more in Alaska than the 48 contiguous states. Can't remember what we ordered, but I do remember the food was good and the portion was healthy. Staff is friendly is as well. If we had stayed longer in Anchorage, I would've probably eaten here more than once. read more

Fantastic Ham and Brie panini. The Brie cheese was melty and ham was juicy. The pesto sauce gave it the right flavor punch. The soup of the day (chicken tortilla soup) was great as well read more

This is a great cafe to chill and read a book or the paper! Their staff is nice and friendly and they have a pretty good selection of sandwiches and salads and really good baked goods! They are sisters with moose a la mode, but the food and cookies here are way better! They have free wifi and a couple of nice seats facing the street, other than that its a little dark inside. I had a beef panini sandwich that tasted good and was very filling, but it was sliding and falling apart after the first bite. I understand they're not specifically a sandwich place but brown bag does it WAY better for a similar price... Anyways their cookies and latte art are perfect! I got a cute little cat last time and always get 1 or 2 fresh cookies! read more

I would say this place felt more like a coffee shop that happened to serve food rather than a traditional cafe. Either way, our no-frills egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches were a-okay and the drip coffee was good. Paid street parking is available out front if you're not within walking distance. Free wi-fi inside. If you're on the lookout for cheap eats downtown, then add Midnight Sun Cafe to your list. read more

They have definitely upped their customer service lately. These folks want your business- I was pleasantly surprised by their improvements since my last visit. I'm glad to have this cafe back in my morning routine; get their breakfast sandwiches. They're very fortifying. read more

Found this place during a recent work trip to Anchorage, and proceeded to come here for several breakfasts, lunches, and coffee breaks. Everything was awesome and they have super friendly staff. Loved the coffee, chocolate chip cookies, and the ham and Brie panini. Great little spot! read more

We tried this place for lunch after renting a car close by, and it was great. The mixed berry smoothie and sandwiches hit the spot for us hungry travelers. If I were local, I would come often to enjoy the bright colors and cozy reading nooks! read more

Fun place we found between museums. Great soup. Great Sandwiches. Good food at a good price.

Enjoyed a great grilled cheese sandwich here. A little pricey fir what you get but the service was quick and the sandwich was tasty.

Wow! This place rocks. I am a coffee snob and K-Bay coffee is the best in town. There is always fresh soup, fresh baked goods and the customer service is above par. If you want a place you can make your coffee shop home, this is it. :) read more

Excellent roast beef sandwich. However, the carrots were ice cold. I can only assume they were thrown directly from the frig bag onto the plate. Should have gone with the chips... read more
