Decent place for breakfast. Good variety of breakfast choices. My tofu scramble wasn't prepared exactly how I expected but it was definitely decent, especially since I didn't expect such an option to be available. read more

Smoked ham and Roma tomato omelet - absolutely delicious! The two 2 egg withe potato and toast was done to perfection also. Also to it a great - not too dark not too light coffee and you have a great breakfast. The outside of the building doesn't look like much but inside is warm and friendly. We'll be here tomorrow to try more. Day 2 - Denver omelet - delicious. Hash browns are good but go for the Yukon potatoes. Day 3 - mushroom and cheese - delicious. Blueberry pancakes - huge and great texture and flavor read more

The food here is good. I'd give it 4.5 stars. It is pricey, but you get a lot of food for the cost. The portions are large enough for 2-3 meals if you can contain your gluttony for how delicious it is. The service, though, is what drops my rating from a 5 to a 3. It just downright sucks. There have been times I have had a good experience with the service, but 80% of the time it's a giant turd sandwich. What you can expect when you walk in is someone to let you know they'll be right with you, then disappear for 10 minutes. Eventually people will continue to file in, and the small waiting area will become very crowded. You'll look around and see plenty of tables available and set, and wonder how come the hoard that is now clogging the waiting area and breeze way hasn't been sat yet. Eventually someone will come to the podium, and begin seating people. It doesn't matter if you're there first or last, because the waiting area is so packed, whoever is right in front of the podium is seated first. Table service is 50/50. Sometimes you'll get good service, other times they'll forget to fill your drinks, bring the check, or there will be confusion about which table they are waiting on. I imagine the only reason the place is still in business is because the food is some of the best in Juneau. read more

The food and staff are fantastic. But it does get very hot inside so don't dress too warm. The wait staff is very helpful and are good about making small changes or substitutions to any entrée. You want a rabbit burger with cheddar and bacon? No problem! You want a Salmon omelette with spinach? No problem! You want fruit and yogurt? No problem! They serve lunch and breakfast during all business hours. read more

I love the Sandpiper Cafe! This is hands-down my favorite breakfast place - but the lunch options are excellent too. The atmosphere is warm and bright, but it can get a little hot inside. The menu has a wide variety, and they always have daily specials. It is not your typical greasy spoon breakfast spot. You can get some unique meats for burgers. My only complaint about the restaurant is the price (for some items), and that the food comes out slightly different each time. The food is always good, but sometimes the portion and ingredients seem to differ. read more

My company had a last minute lunch come up and thank you to Peter and the staff at Sandpiper, it was a very successful! We got a lot of compliments on the food which is always nice to hear. I would like to compliment Peter for going above and beyond for us and for some of the best customer service I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing! Thank you Peter and staff of Sandpiper! We will be back and will always recommend you :) read more

Excellent breakfast (go with the french toast) and really friendly and attentive service.

Prices were a bit much, but it was a great clean attentive place with a great menu. Bfast: I had crab bennedict. Very tasty!

I was in Juneau for 3 days and 2 nights and I ate breakfast there 2x. The same thing each morning - their delicious crab cake benedict on home made biscuit. The hash brown was crispy on the outside and soft in the midfield, best I've ever had!!! read more

Had brunch there in March 2018 on a short visit to Juneau. Heard great reviews about the place. Chef or whoever that crazy screaming manager in the kitchen maybe thought he worked in Hell's Kitchen and was screaming bloody murder at his employees. Complained in a RAGE about the speed or whatever they did wrong. It totally ruined our entire day. My stress level went up the roof and i had knots in my stomach during breakfast and all day. It is so unprofessional. If that crazy man is still there, go elsewhere. Brunch for 2 people for $50 is supposed to be relaxing and peaceful. Not stress filled. Wait staff were great!!!! Food was ok. read more

Eeeeeaaassssiiilllyyyy the best bfast place in Juneau TBH. It's so classy and nice and the waiters are so kind and the food..DAMN. So good. I would eat there everyday if I could. Only down side it's ITS SO PRICEY. Like why you so good but take all my money???? I guess it's fine I won't ever stop going there I love it so much and am so grateful for all their delicious meals. Thank you. read more

I would have given them 4 star except the bathroom was horribly disgusting, what does that mean for the kitchen, a clean bathroom almost always means a clean kitchen, whom ever is the manager open your eyes and take a look at that bathroom if you think it's okay then you are disgusting too! Food was good though. read more

When we arrived in Juneau almost all the locals mentioned two places to grab breakfast: Sandpiper and Donna's. We had already tried Donna's for breakfast so we figured we should check out Sandpiper. We arrived around noon and there was no wait. My wife and sons ordered breakfast while I ordered a burger with a side salad. Our waiter left a lot to be desired. One thing that stands out when it comes to breakfast joints for me is how often they check for coffee refills and water refills. They never once came by to see if we needed a coffee refill and we had to grab the busboy to try to get a water refill. Our waiter took our order, asked if there was anything else we needed as soon as he brought the food, and disappeared. Not literally, because we saw him standing around talking to co-workers, but he never came by again and I had to wave him down to get the check. The food was okay but not spectacular. My wife got a breakfast veggie scramble and couldn't finish it. Not because it was too much but because she wasn't that impressed by it. My sons finished their breakfast but they both said it was "okay" but not great. The burger I got was good but I don't know if it was the actual burger or if it was because I sprinkled it with "Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel" seasoning. I think it was the seasoning. My side salad was okay but on the menu it doesn't explain the ingredients. I am not a fan of black olives but they were spread throughout the entire salad. When I looked at a side chalkboard, I saw the salad ingredients listed. If I would have seen that on the menu I would have asked for no olives. Also, and I know it was a side salad, they give you about a tablespoon of dressing. For the prices they charge here, I expected more. read more

It's pricey (by Midwest standards, anyway), but the servings are huge and the service is wonderful. Our coffee cups were never empty! You can get real maple syrup for an extra $1. read more

My Juneau friends warned me that there wasn't very much good food in Juneau, but Sandpiper Cafe was our first stop and I was impressed. I got this breakfast combo that was 2 eggs, choice of sausage links or patty, and choice of pancakes or french toast. I was able to sub in the vegan french toast and got the sausage links. The food came out fast even though we were a party of 6. The eggs were fresh and delicious and the links were tasty. My bf got the sausage patty which was this huge burger-like patty of sizzling sausage and if I ever go back to Juneau I will definitely order the patty instead. The links were fine, but man, that patty was legit - flavorful, a little crunch, yummy. The vegan french toast was not that impressive - it tasted a little too "healthy" with not enough sugar/crunch/flavor/something to make it distinct. It was a little soggy. All in all I was really pleased with my meal, what a great opening to Juneau food. read more

Sandpiper Cafe - breakfast combo - sausage, eggs, vegan french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Great breakfast place when in Juneau. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and most important... the coffee was great!

Do not be fooled by the sketchy outside! A local recommended this place to us, and we were pleased that it was right next to our hotel. It seemed to be a local haunt (noted by their Xtratuffs) with the occasional tourist. I had the smoked salmon omelet, and my husband had the quiche of the day - bacon and swiss. The hashbrowns were crisp, the salmon was so delicious and smoky, and the marscapone cheese was so creamy. My husband was very happy with his fresh fruit salad that came with his quiche. Good coffee too!! read more

Outstanding restaurant for lunch and breakfast. Closed for dinner. Lots of locals and inconvenient for 5000 of your new best cruise friends. Fresh food well prepared and good service. I had meatloaf sandwich on chibatta which included a slice of cheddar, sun dried tomatoes, red onion , lettuce. Loaf was flavorable but not fatty. Included choice of waffle fries, fresh salad, homemade soup or rice pilaf. Wife had pastrami on homemade rye, soup and the pastrami was cut thicker than usual. Great! Can be a line at b'fast depending on time of morning. Serving 6 am to 2 pm. read more

This was a great place to eat. We had the sourdough pancakes with sausage and hash brows and the french toast with sausage. The only reason there was food left was because we were too full to finish. Everything was done perfectly. The hint of ricotta cheese in my sourdough pancakes was just amazing. The sausages were bigger than you usually get from restaurants and there were 3 links. Awsome! The staff seemed a bit cold, but i will say that they were busy and by the time we left there were people waiting at the door. Can't wait to go back for more goodness. read more

What a great breakfast after a long day of traveling! Omelets were very good. Coffee was a bit strong, maybe that is the Alaskan way.

I like this place for lunch. Twice now I've had their burgers and they were fantastic. Today I tried the bacon and blue cheese burger and it was delicious. They make a very sizable burger which was cooked perfectly. The thick bacon and blue cheese made for a messy but exceptional burger. Service was nicely paced and timed. Decor is nice too. Overall, I'd go back anytime. read more

Good breakfast, a bit on the high $ side, but what in Juneau isn't, does not serve liquor , I am guessing there is a line all the time for two reasons, first it is small, second there is pretty much no place else to go for breakfast, the breakfast is good, the coffee is good, service is good, it is nice they have a good parking lot too. read more

As good as it gets for breakfast in Juneau! I've never had anything bad here for reals! Their mandarin and marscapone french toast is both unique and delicious. read more

I love the coffee here! I ordered cinnomon and vanilla french toast that was delicious. I noticed that they had osterich burgers, elk burgers, and bison burgers on special when I was there. I didn't notice that until after I ordered my french toast otherwise I wouldn't tried one of those unique varieties of burgers. I'm impressed with the variety of menu, the service, and the atmospere here. read more

Not expecting much from Alaskan restaurants I was pleasantly surprised. My son, stationed in Juneau for the last 3 months brought us for breakfast. Great food (try the French toast) served in a pleasant relaxed manner at a reasonable price. I find it no surprise that 9 of 10 reviews are 5 stars. Go for it! read more

Perfect breakfast spot: good coffee, fresh food and fast. Feeling splurgy had the crab cakes Benedict and it was spot on with a good hollandaise and lots of crab meat. Super friendly staff. read more

Sandpiper Cafe does serve pretty good food, coming here a few times for Sunday brunch. Service may be slow.

A little off the beaten path to find, but well worth it. We went here for breakfast on one of our days off and WOW. This place is truly amazing. The food is top notch and priced decently. Service is spectacular and definitely a fun place for a group of your friends. Be forewarned, the portions are huge and you need a hearty appetite to finish it all. read more

I'm always nervous about going out for brunch because I'm vegan, and I was psyched to find all sorts of vegetarian options. They even have vegan french toast!! The food was delicious!!! Everything tasted and looked fresh, and there was a ton of food on every plate I saw. Please please eat here. There is usually a bit of a wait, but it's worth it. read more

Food not as good and well portioned as others have testified but definitely as costly per quality. MY experience here with the service and attitude was so astonishingly vapid and apathetic that I certainly will not come back for any reason. read more

Awesome food, great service!! The burger was fresh and made to order, the omelette was also amazing! I can tell they use fresh produce. Also, their ranch must be homemade and it is delish!!I recommend sandpiper for great breakfast, burgers, and salads! read more

Awesome specialty burgers featuring game not offered elsewhere in Juneau. Burger selection changes, but they have featured Buffalo, elk, antelope, venison, boar, ostrich, emu, crocodile, and kobe. If you get the burger they have Waffle fries as a side. Great burgers, GREAT waffle fries. You will usually have to wait for a table, especially during the lunch hour. Had I rated this restaurant last year it would have been a 4 no problem, but I have been unimpressed with the food lately. Had lunch with the wife and in laws 11/22/15 they swapped the cook on our burger, so I ended up with an overlooked water buffalo and my father in law got the medium cook on his elk. Nothing ruins a game burger more than cooking every bit of pink out of it. read more

This café is cooking some seriously awesome cuisine. "Café" is misleading as this would be any foodies favorite for any meal. they are cooking with love here. I was recently in Juneau on business and we went in for breakfast. I have the special which was Brussels Sprout, Asparagus, potatoes, red onion and cabbage hash topped with Swiss cheese and roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes. I can't stop thinking about it so I just called and the manager Peter was kind enough to share the recipe and walk me through it. My partner in this meal had the eggs benedict and said she wanted to weep it was so good. I was so focused on my meal I cannot remember the details of hers but she said it was the most creative and best eggs benedict she had ever had. Do yourself a favor and go have a meal here. I adore a restaurant that cooks with love. read more

Delicious breakfast option in downtown Juneau. They have a large variety of specials each day.

Excellent breakfast. Got the crab cakes egg benedict and it was amazing. Just eat there, you'll like it.

Sandpiper is amazing, super good food, nice atmosphere, and friendly service. I've been here a number of times and have never been let down. Sometimes I feel like restaurants here are rated higher than they deserve because it's a small town with not a ton of options but Sandpiper can hold it's own with any breakfast place in any city. In the past, I've had the tofu scramble (spicy with great mixture of veggies), the lox and cream cheese, and the eggs and potatoes. Their grilled red potatoes are probably one of my favorite things on the menu, salty and favorful without being greasy. The specials they have on the board always look so good and seem very inspired. My only complaint is that they are only open for breakfast and lunch and not dinner! Hands down one of the best places in Juneau. read more

This place is pretty good. Closed on Tuesdays... but on any other morning it is a decent place for some breakfast. I have been several times in the last few weeks and the one thing that always gets me is their seating system. There can be three occupied tables and they tell you it's going to be 5 minutes.... then, the host, or hostess does a few 360's and brings you to your table. I was there this morning and there were 3 two tops but it took 5 minutes to seat me. Seriously? As for the food it is pretty much right on. I used to be an egg cook and it is no easy task... so I am pretty particular about my eggs and the only time they have been below par was today. They were oily on top with raw whites in the center. Shouldn't be like that over medium. The waitstaff is pleasant and I like the atmosphere. I have only a few days left up here and I bet I will be back.... just not on Tuesday. read more

Such a cute cafe!! The food was AMAZING! I had the crab cake Benedict and it did not disappoint! This was definitely one of my best meals since we've been here for almost a week. So happy we chose to dine here. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of our waitress. While she was quick to bring out our food, she complained about the $3 tip that another table left her to other guests and when a coworker came over and asked her how it was going, she said "how does it look like it's going? My area is empty and over there is full" this all happened right next to our table. That put a bad energy to my what was enjoyable brunch. Very unprofessional. I wish she would keep her attitude for the back, it would probably help her get better tips. My husband still left a good tip bc he works in the restaurant industry and appreciates what the cooks do to make sure everyone enjoys their meal. read more

This restaurant consistently delivers a great performance on three important fronts: food quality, service and atmosphere. It is a favorite with the locals for good reason. My favorite lunch menu item is the soup and sandwich special: it's one of the best values in town, and the variety of soups that the chef creates means you get lots of pleasant surprises! A great danger at this place is the scrumptious cornbread. read more

Outstanding! We ate here as a group not quite knowing what to expect, and all I can say is that I wish we had discovered it sooner. The food was great and the portions were big. A+ read more
