    Ship Mate - Very good!
    Chelsea R.

    Cute spot! Parking is a little wonky, but AI said that you don't have to pay for street parking on Sundays? Who knows if that's true, but we did it and didn't get towed, so yay! We got one of the special drinks, which was an Irish cream cold brew-so good! For entrees we got the Ship Mate and the Kodiak. I was trying to get some Alaskan Salmon in my body before we left (really quick in and out trip here) so this was perfect. Food was good! We ended with the pecan sticky bun and YUM!

    Snow city remains a staple for breakfast in Anchorage. This go around, I had the Huevos Rancheros and they were delightful. It comes as a full or a half order (one vs two tortillas) and I added the chorizo, which made it even tastier. While it is often busy here on the weekends and during the summer, I feel that they are efficient at moving people through and service is always exceptional!

    Still my favorite spot for breakfast in Anchorage!!! This place is sooooo cute inside! Even love the oversized spoon and fork for door handles as you enter. I always come here for breakfast when I am in town and have tried most of the menu. FAVORITE SAVORY OPTION: Go with 1 of the 7 different EGGS BENEDICT options. They know how to poach an egg and have a great hollandaise sauce. Today I ordered the "country Benedict" and it was a cross between biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict. It was executed perfectly and delicious! Their bacon here is also really good! FAVORITE SWEET OPTIONS: Don't order pancakes here! They are thick and heavy. However they make the BEST "stuffed French toast" I have ever tried. The combination of the bread they use and fruit just really works. Cinnamon rolls are good (not world famous as they claim, but good). They come with WAY TOO MUCH frosting though so ask for the on the side. COFFEE: Love that they have an espresso machine! They make a decent latte but ask for them to make it hotter than normal. Otherwise it comes out lukewarm. SERVICE: This place is popular and BUSY (especially in the summer). Yelp allows you to JOIN THE WAITLIST before driving over, be sure to do this. Servers have always been attentive and personable. BATHROOM CODE: Wish they didn't require a code! Kind of a hassle. Today the code was 1534

    Got the recommendation from a local and we arrived with a good amount of people waiting. Took about an hour, but the check-in for the wait list is super smart. Go up to the hostess station and use the tablet and then that ties you into the Yelp App that lets you know your position. Very efficient and worth the wait, trust me. When we sat down the menu was awesome on selection. Had the Salmon Eggs Benedict and Mushroom Omelette with a side of Oh my G-d! bacon and topped off with the homemade cinnamon roll. I mean look at my face after a few bites of how amazing this cinnamon roll was. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service by Valor was amazing. They were spot on and super attentive. Made the whole experience just perfect. Staff was very friendly and engaging from the minute we walked in. Thank you!

    Awesome brunch spot and the service was so nice and accommodating for our big group. We waited a bit but they took care of us right away. Food was good and the drinks were great as well!

    Christy S.

    What an amazing find. We are on vacation and found this terrific place for breakfast. Had a 20 min wait but well worth it. Food was fresh, high quality ingredients and a fantastic staff! Jerad was a the best server. Place was clean, staff friendly and knowledgeable about all the food. Highly recommend

    A beautiful awesome morning amazing people of the world. We are in Anchorage, Alaska and were hitting up Snow City Cafe for some brunch brunch. It's a highly recommended joint by everyone we spoke to so let's give it a proper go at it. Kodiak Benedict - eggs are perfect, holandaise sauce is a little muted but pleasant. The crabcakes, so surface very well. Its front and center. One of the best bennies i ever had 9/10 Hashbrowns - As perfect as a hashbrown can be. Texture, crunch and flavor is how you would expect from a strong hash. Extremely superb 9.9/10 Reindeer Sausage - Perfectly cooked. Spices used are pleasant and the reindeer flavor is divine. Two thumbs up 8.8/10 If you ever find yourself in Anchorage, Alaska, do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think. Hit that follow for more food and travel adventures by yours truly. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for reading along. I love you Mwah!

    We were in town from CA and we Absolutely loved this brunch spot! It's super cute, trendy, and clean, with a fun, lively atmosphere. It does get busy, but that just shows how good it is and it's definitely worth it. The food is excellent, and the service is fast and friendly, which is always a win. The salsa bar is such a great touch and everything we tried was fresh and flavor bowl. The pastries were amazing and the mimosas were delicious, with different juice options that make it feel a little extra special. Our waitress went above and beyond, and even made us an extra fancy iced coffee topped with whipped cream, which was such a fun surprise. This is a perfect spot for a girls day or a family outing. Cute vibes, great food, and an all-around fun experience.

    this is my second time here, and it is a brunch house alaskan staple. it's always packed/busy in here and service does take a little while but that's probably because they're busy making everything from scratch! everything i've ate here is delicious. prices are high but it is worth it. i always will come here if i am in alaska!

    Heart Attack on a plate with special order of extra jalapeños
    Liurka O.

    Great service from the host to the server. First, you can't leave this place without ordering the hash-browns they are crispy but not extra it's just perfection. Ordered the almond joy Espresso coffee and it was delicious. My husband ordered the hearth attack with all the extras and it was great. I ordered the Crabby Omelet, the crab delicious was the omelet juicy. This place is a must when you are visiting Anchorage. The ambiance is also great, a lot of people around and good r&b classics.

    Crab cake egg Benedict
    Ana A.

    While visiting town we decided to come grab breakfast here. They do not have parking but it was early enough we found street parking across the street. The inside is super cute with bright colors. It was early enough we didn't have a wait. The staff is friendly and attentive. Our waitress helped us out answering some questions about the menu. We ended up getting crab cake egg Benedict and breakfast sandwich. The smoothie was good, not too sweet not too bitter. The hash browns were so good! Overall the food and portions were good. Menu had plenty of options. Give this place a bite

    Ship Creek Benedict
    Peter C.

    Snow City Cafe is a popular downtown diner with the locals and tourist. Reservations aren't accepted, but you can simply be added to their wait list by either going to their website or at the host stand. There were many breakfast options and with the recommendations from my server, I got the ship creek Benedict. It comes with two poached eggs over a salmon cake. It was delicious and would have been fabulous if both of my eggs were runny. Service was ok. There is no restaurant parking, only street.

    I know they paused reservations but are they back to taking them yet?

    10 days ago, the sign up for seating was in person.

    Did they stop taking reservations?

    They still took reservations as of July this year

    How much is the wait time in morning around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday if we have reservation?

    We made our reservation for Sunday the day before on Saturday. I believe we made the reservation through YELP. And they were slammed when we got there around 11 am. They were on a 1 hour wait but, after checking in, we only waited 2 or 3 minutes.
