A surprise of soft French bread was still delicious but not your traditional crispy bread. I think I actually preferred the bread here as it held the flavors well and made eating it less of a mess. The mint was a nice touch along with the traditional cucumber and daikon but I was missing some of the heat of there jalapeños normally included. If this had been I. A larger market like Denver, LA, Chicago ,etc... I would have given it 4 stars. Governed are 100 miles north of Anchorage with not many choices I gave it five stars because who could have expected a Bahn mi worth eating for $17 in this location. Again price being relatively reasonable for this area options so it's pretty good for the price For dessert I had the Blueberry Rhubarb crisp. Tasty and $7 was fine for this location. Service was friendly but took about 12-15 minutes for the sandwich, the dessert they gave us right away. Remember to bring cash as that is the only option they offer for payment!

Stopped here after reading all the reviews about it being a must-do while in Talkeetna. It's super…read morecute, being served out of a chrome airstream. We ordered and sat at a table, with the bread being ready in 5 minutes. For what you get, it's pricey. But the bread itself is great - as others have said, it's cheesy, garlicky, spinachy, and puffy. YUM.

What a delightful find in Alaska!…read more The chocolate brownie was fabulous. The subtle addition of black beans gave it an incredibly rich, moist texture and somehow enhanced the deep chocolate flavor even further. The jalapeño chorizo quiche was simply to die for--a must-have. I've traveled extensively around the world, and this is genuinely one of the finest quiches I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, packed with flavor, and beautifully baked. The latte with caramel birch syrup was the perfect companion for the Alaskan weather. It leaves you with a wonderfully warm, comforting feeling that lingers long after the last sip. Don't miss the frosted coffee cake with lemon and berries. It's moist, fresh, and makes the perfect treat to pack along for a hike through the Alaskan woods. The bakery itself is incredibly quaint and charming, with beautiful flowers everywhere. It feels like stepping into a warm wooden cabin nestled in nature. The atmosphere is just as memorable as the food. I would absolutely love to visit Flying Squirrel Bakery again. It's one of those special places that makes a trip unforgettable.

They have about 20 beers on tap from IPAs, lagers, sours, ciders and everything in between. We all ordered flights to try as many as possible. There's a giant pizza oven and the pizzas were really good. They are personal pizzas and I honestly wish they were classic small, medium, large options. The merch section is huge and honestly for Alaska it will be the cheapest shirt you find. I love my new shirt for $25. The whole place is fun and clean and again the perfect place for a long day outside. And great for big groups too

Fireweed are those magenta blooms along the drive to and from Denali during the mid-summer months but unlike rose or lavender, fireweed tastes more like berries than floral. They have a variety of other flavors for those less adventurous but if you want something you wouldn't get anywhere else, go for that fireweed.

A THICK footlong comes stacked with 2 cheeses, 2 meats, 3 veg, 2 condiments for just $15. They've gotta be losing money on these sandwiches - there's like 2 lbs of meat and cheese in there! This is not a Subway footlong - completely different species. Probably should have stuck with a 6" but I didn't know any better and now have another 1-2 meals left, not a bad problem to have. I really appreciated the veggie options to choose from as well as how much they piled on. Typically these subs are super bread-heavy but this bread is barely containing the fillings - like they're just there as a finger hold. Rock climbing a super sub here. Ladies were super nice too. They also have great daily lunch specials in it looks like (today was Mexican - choice of enchilada and 2 sides for like $11?) and a nacho bar. Probably the best grocery selections around. I found lots of Greek yogurt options for a little protein/dessert boost - picked one up before I saw how massive the sandwich was gonna be.
