This is a really popular breakfast/lunch spot. We got there relatively early and got seated right away. The food itself was really good. Price point was on par with other restaurants in the area. The big turn off to us was the service. As soon as the restaurant started filling up (literally right after we got our food), our server got super pushy and brought us the check before we could even take our first bite of food. She then kept coming by and tried to take away our plates before we were done eating it. When we told her no, we're still eating, she looked quite annoyed. Then another server came by and tried to take my plate away too. I don't know what the deal was but it really ruined the ability to enjoy a nice meal. read more

a super cute and coastal feeling brunch place with delicious breakfast favorites and ice cream! bf got the mascarpone mandarin french toast, and i got the corned beef hash which was lovely. they even give you a small piece of fruit which i enjoyed. the second time we went, i got the sourdough ricotta pancake (ginormous 2 stack) combo and bf got the biscuits and gravy, which was peppery and rich. they're popular for their maple bacon ice cream/milkshake, but sadly we were unable to try it. there's also a daily special menu that they change (the food on that board seems yummy too) and is shown on their own instagram page (there's a QR code on the table for you to scan and follow). overall, this was a great brunch spot to go to when you're in juneau! read more

Excellent breakfast.! We were seated by a very friendly man who also cleared tables - a very good sign of staff/owner that truly care about customers. Our waiter was a super nice guy who provided great recommendations and excellent service. We ordered the scramble special - with veggies and hollandaise. It was a top 10 of breakfast dish ever!! read more

The food and service is always excellent. The Specials usually appeal to me. When I want good food I go to the Sandpiper Cafe.

Excellent food-Homemade bread was fantastic. Hostess was a bit surly but waitress was AMAZING. Highly recommend it.

We had a decent wait to get a table at this popular spot. The greeter was very kind and got us to our table. Our food was great - salmon omelettes, eggs Benedict, and griddle combo plate were all delicious. Deducted two stars due to poor service from our waitress. I understand that service is a subjective experience, but it hurts to see other tables receiving much kinder and attentive service than what you're experiencing from the same waitress. Inattentiveness played a role - it was difficult to get coffee refills, and many items were forgotten on our dishes (ie butter, jam for toast). Quick shout out for those who are gluten free - I don't recommend as the GF toast is toasted in the same toaster as other bread! Ambience was nice, but don't be surprised by noise as it's a pretty popular spot. I would return again, and be willing to revisit my score here. read more

Great classic breakfast. Super busy, even early in the morning, but there's not many sit-down breakfast options in town so it's expected. Make a reservation. read more

Great little cafe a short walk from downtown. Breakfast was excellent. Clean and staff was very good.

Sandpiper! One of my favorite breakfast places in all of Juno. And favorite brunch spots. They always have such interesting specials! Service is always been great! And the restaurant is super adorable. It's not very large so if you wanna get there and have a spot and not wait a long time get there early!!! Breakfast -- burrito -- blueberry pancake -- biscuits and gravy -- any of the French toast delicious Lunch / sandwiches -- Ruben -- patty melt -- grilled vegetarian Salad -- citrus chicken salad -- Caesar salad read more

You would think with excellent reviews online, and a line out the door that this place would be great, right?! WRONG! I don't mind a 30-45min wait to be seated, that happens and is often expected. HOWEVER, once I'm seated I'd really like to actually be waited on! I had to flag someone down just to order a coffee after waiting at the table for 20minutes (and I'm not exaggerating!). 5min later I finally had my coffee, which was luke warm, and I finished it quickly as I was beginning to get a caffeine withdrawal headache. Then took another 10min for someone to acknowledge me & take my food order. I had also ordered another coffee which took another 10min to get and STILL had not gotten any food. Like I understand being busy, but there are multiple empty tables, and you could at least address your customers instead of walking past them. As a frequent single diner, I get this ALLLL the time. Just once I'd like these people to go out to eat alone and then get treated like you don't exist. Food is decent, but the wait and dismissive staff will never have me returning.I mean, people who were seated way after me, got their food, ate and left before I even had a chance to taste my food!! read more

Absolutely five stars because it's without a doubt "as good as it gets" in terms of breakfast in Juneau! After a lackluster experience the day prior, I knew I needed to find a better spot and Yelp did not let me down. My Dad and I ventured over mid-morning on a Tuesday in mid-July and were able to be seated after a brief five minute wait. Our waiter was busy yet attentive. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Lox Bagel that was presented beautifully in a build-your-own-bagel. My Dad ordered an omelette which he thoroughly enjoyed. I loaded up on coffee and was genuinely pleased with this place. Good service, nice atmosphere, efficient, reasonable prices, good variety/selection... I would consider it an essential breakfast spot if you're in the Juneau area! read more

Cute little cafe! The food was absolutely delicious and great vegan options-highly recommend the tofu scramble. The only issue was how long it took to get our food-almost an hour. They did warn us they were backed up in the kitchen and service was very kind. Just come in knowing it might be awhile especially on the weekend! read more

Sandpiper Cafe - Tofu Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

This is a little gem away from the cruise ships. Service was great and the food was wonderful. There is a full coffee bar as well.

Not a bad choice for breakfast. They have a small menu and atleast what's on it looks good. We just had a couple of things, two of the three kinds of French toast a side of hash browns. The hash browns were good although they needed a little bit of salt. We also had the vanilla & cinnamon French toast and the vegan pecan French toast. Both were very good. My wife's friend got the tofu scramble at another table. After seeing the picture wished she would have gotten that instead of the vegan pecan French toast. It was Father's day so there was a little bit of a wait and the service was so so. Still not dad for breakfast. read more

The 7 kinds of French toast are the thing here, but make it a combo and you get eggs and bacon too. The special today was lemon blueberry mascarpone and it was really good. I liked mine best though: quiche and a BUNCH of fresh fruit (half an apple, a whole banana, blueberries, cantaloupe), and I swapped out the potatoes for crispy hash browns (brilliant option). They don't say what's in it, so guessing it varies, but today's quiche was a creamy mushroom, zucchini, polish sausage mix and it was fantastic. The latte was good too: This is a solid breakfast spot in Juneau! read more

First and foremost, go early. The line gets long quickly. I'm a believer that there is typically an efficient market for restaurants, which is to say if they're full and there's a wait there's usually a good reason. Sometimes it's because the place is a tourist trap...and sometimes it's because it's worth the wait in the abstract. For our family trip, this was worth the wait in the abstract. It's a breakfast joint, so of course there are breakfast dishes. Eggs. Toast. Potatoes. All of which were precisely as we would have expected, and quite good. The big winners, though, seem to be the specials which are handwritten on a chalkboard (and handed out on a recently printed piece of paper), and one has to believe that those are the real attractions. My son had a crazy French toast concoction using baguette bread, coffee, cinnamon, marcapone, and whipped cream that totally looked like a diabetic coma on a plate...and that he demolished in short order because it was so good. Place is charming. Service is super-friendly if a little slow -- high tourism season and an environment where workers just don't show up to jobs is hurting everyone. Would definitely come back here if I were to return to Juneau, and recommend it with enthusiasm. read more

Very solid diner breakfast at expensive Juneau prices. Even though it was busy, staff were friendly and food came out fast. We enjoyed the French toast special and crab cake Benedict (the hollandaise did break a bit but the flavor was great) Definitely a solid choice for breakfast in Juneau. read more

Best breakfast in Juneau, and definitely top 5 in AK! I love the specials here. They are fresh, and often do something people don't do in Alaska: incorporate veggies. This is a huge step-up from the usual "greasy-spoon" diner-style breakfast that make up the majority of early morning dining in the 49th state. I stayed in Juneau for a few days and came here for breakfast every day. I didn't want to try anywhere else and be disappointed! Ambiance is also great. Nice big windows. Service as fast and very friendly. If you get here early, there's not a line. Which is puzzling. Maybe the cruise ship folks eat breakfast on the boat? read more

Very delicious! Had and omelet and a scramble and both were cooked perfectly!! Highly recommend.

Used to be "the place" for the best breakfast in town. My last encounter didn't go so well. The place was not even half filled with customers yet service was slow. The house coffee has a burnt taste. I've seen them empty a pot of old coffee into new coffee. This will generate a burnt taste even in the freshly brewed pot. If you order a specialty coffee then it's pretty good. So my recommendation skip the house coffee and get an Americano. During my last visit, the majority of my order was wrong or different from the description. I ordered over-easy eggs and received over hard. The menu said grilled tomatoes and what I received was fresh-cut tomatoes. The attention to detail seems to be hurting the overall experience of what used to be the gem in town. read more

I'm a local to Juneau and this restaurant is by far the best breakfast in town.. I'm giving them a 4 star because the last time I went there I was in complete shock! The restaurant had MANY tables empty however they took my name and number and told me that they would page me when a table was ready.. this was the first for me in the 10years I have gone! There was one group (party of two) ahead of me and me and my mom. I was just watching and wasn't completely understanding what was going on and why we had to stand there and wait.. during the time I wait which was over 10 min. now there was a line out the door and still at least 5-7 empty tables.. finally after about 10 min of standing there the party in front of me was seated. Then about 5 min went by and we were seated.. They had plenty of staff there that was not the issue. I was just in complete SHOCK this past weekend when I stop in for some yummy eggs, Benedict! Get it together Sand Piper I don't want this to be the case every time I go which is at least once a week or more! But again the food is amazing! read more

My husband and I had breakfast and although the food was delicious, the service was so slow. It took about 15 min before a server took our drink order after we were seated. The food came out relatively quickly but our server kept disappearing. We sat with empty coffee cups and water for the last 15 minutes of our meal. Our server came finally and asked if we needed anything else and we said no. She took our plates and we didn't see her with our bill for another 20 minutes. They were busy but not crazy. Only go here if you don't have a schedule to keep. read more

This is the best spot in Juneau for breakfast...I would come every day if I could! Go often and try everything on the menu!!

I'm very disappointed. I love this place. But today I ordered 2 chocolate chip pancakes for my kids to go. When the waitress brought it out the first time it had chocolate chips melted on top and melted in the middle. It was messy and I asked if I could get the chocolate chips inside. I got home and the pancakes were burnt. It sucks. The cooks are always really good. But who ever was doing the pancakes today need more training read more

Sandpiper Café is a breakfast and lunch spot - the lunch offerings weren't that interesting to me (tuna melt, etc.), but the breakfast is really very good. Ranging from fancy standards like eggs Benedict, to a variety of French toast offerings, to steak and eggs, corned beef hash and eggs, eggs with bacon, ham or sausage, to blueberry pancakes -- basic breakfast done well -- you get the idea. The restaurant has the feel of an open and clean B&B, friendly and slightly upscale. It's located in a small strip-mall, away from much of the cruise-ship traffic (thank goodness), as this really isn't their kind of place. read more

We walked over from Four Points, waited a bit, and well very happy with everything. Service was great, food delicious - recommended!

Great food and service!! This is a go-to for us when in the are! The staff only makes it better!

Nice breakfast early morning. Wait staff, friendly and accommodating. Yep, I recommend!

We had to come here because my husband had such an outstanding experience that he insisted that we go back on our first day back in Juneau. I can only say he was right, this is an amazing place for breakfast. From the greeting, the introduction of the daily special board, to the excellent service by Elisa, it was perfect. We had the delish French Toast, from homemade French bread, and a waffle, it was so yummy. Portions are very generous and prices VERY reasonable. Just wish we had them closer to us in CA. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Very disappointed, I order a Denver omelet, with hash browns, the omelet execution was lacking rather than peppers and ham wrapped in egg is was layered, I had a ham and peppers sautéed on the bottom with an egg pancake then cheese melted on top, last I checked that is not an omelet, not to mention it was very greasy.. the hash browns were way over cooked and was like eating fried wantons. Lastly service was friendly but lack follow up, I wanted jam on my toast and once the food was delivered, the next time I saw the server was to bring the check. read more

There's not much good food in Jueanu. Definitely worth going for breakfast. It's a small little place, so arrive early! You don't want to wait too long! (honestly it's a small town so you wouldn't wait too long anyways compared to waiting in line for a restaurant in SF). Service: Friendly service. Quick. Professional. What more can you ask for? Food: Yukon Gold Home Fries - These are an absolute must try if you are coming here for breakfast. Crispy. Flavorful. And just plain ole delicious. Benedicts - Eggs are poached well. Muffin are toasted to perfection. If you are having trouble deciding what to get, you can't go wrong with this! Pancakes - Pancakes are decent, but their fruit toppings make it so worth it. Overall: Definitely a must try if you be in town! read more

We spent the night in Sitka on the way back and this place was rated highly enough for another couple to make their reservations ahead of time. We were able to get one the same day. The place was packed and we did miss getting a table by the water. Our waiter apparently felt bad about that and gave us extra bread at no charge. Huge steak for my husband, I had salmon. A bit pricey but good. Found out later we could have taken advantage of their taxi service from our hotel!! read more
