This place such a great brunch spot! It was my first time visiting Alaska and I was so happy to find a wonderful local spot that served even better food. The Alaskan crab cakes were perfectly sweet and savory with the most amazing hollandaise sauce and the perfect poached egg. We had to come back again and try the Nuevo Huevos which was delicious and the biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've had. If you stop by don't forget about the pecan sticky buns or the cinnamon roll. They're the perfect sweet way to end your brunch! read more

- place gets full around ten am on a sunday - we had a ten minute wait at ten thirty - i loved the sunny environment - wait was loner as we finished around 1130 - huge portions - nice staff - good suggestions/recs - crab benedict was too bready - vegetable benedict was great! - stuffed French toast was filling, buttery, soft - cinnamon role is huge! it gets hard fast in the fridge read more

Although it was busy and we had the wait about an hour to be seated, the service was still incredible and the food was phenomenal!

This place is always a hit. If you've never tried this place before I'd definitely recommend they have many different options and everything is delicious. If you're a coffee drinker I'd for sure recommend the snow city mocha very good! There is always a wait so make sure to join the waitlist prior :) read more

Food was great as well service. Do yourself a favor and reserve a table online weekends.

The food...it's not worth the wait time. 30 min from order to table for breakfast and then 15-20 min to get the bill. Not impressed. Hard to enjoy your coffee or tea with breakfast when you have to wait that long. Last review of this place was 9 years ago...I guess I'm good for another 9 years. read more

The wait is ridiculously long. So unless you preplan and check/join the waiting list, you'll end up standing around for an hour waiting for a table. The food was great, service was what I expected for a place this busy. Be ready to order the moment you sit down. read more

Always great food and service. We try to stop by whenever we're in town. Never disappointed.

Best breakfast in town get a reservation, it's always a LONG wait, with one exception early in the morning in the win

Such a great find and a nice colorful place. They have pretty much everything! I love that they have so many Vegan and veganizable options! The service was fast and they were super nice and helpful. I also had their spiked kombucha, very good! The ambiance is very relaxed, it felt like being back in Southern California. read more

I don't get it. Pancakes taste like bisquik. Berry French toast is full of cream cheese and light on berries. Service is friendly.

Very good food with a wait time to match the gigantic portion sizes! It's not that loud but it could be if there were boisterous children screaming. Enjoyed it been here 5 times now it never disappoints! read more

Super awesome spot in downtown Anchorage. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. I loved the decor inside and their shelf of hot sauces from customers. The food was delicious - I had the Tundra scramble because I was craving reindeer sausage and it truly hit the spot. It paired well with the antioxidant smoothie, which was sweet, but not too sweet! The pancakes are true to being the size of the plates and the Ship Creek Benedict is delectable. 10/10 would recommend! It's a popular spot so be sure to go early. read more

It's worth the wait! You can put yourself in line prior to arrival to save time! The cinnamon roll was huge and is a "must" appetizer to your breakfast or lunch meal. The avocado toast was perfect! Lots of chunks of avocado and not just a spread. There's additional up charge to add bacon and eggs. The service was great. We had Dee and she was very responsive. read more

I was skeptical about waiting when we arrived to a full restaurant and waiting area, with additional people outside. But we took a walk around the block and stopped by the overlook about a block away while we waited, so it didn't seem that long. I am glad we waited because the food and drink were worth it. I had the Kobuk Samovar tea and it was so good we sought out the shop later to buy some tea to take home. My husband and I shared the Nuevo Huevos and the baked goods sampler platter. The former was super delicious and I would 100% order again. The later was good but I would probably go for just the pecan bun or try the cinnamon roll if I was doing it again. We like hot sauces so we were pleased by the hot sauce selection and community feel - if you bring a hot sauce to add to the collection you get a discount. Loved this place and probably would have gone a second time but our tour left too early. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's tourist season, so the place is packed, service is slow, and ambiance is loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also changed some menu items...most problematic for me is the crabby omelet, which is now loaded with bacon and tomatoes and yucky sauce and an $8 price increase. The original crabby omelet had been my go-to for years and was delightful in its simplicity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So there goes my reason to eat at Snow City, despite the long waits and no ventilation and no A/C and crowded dining room and only two bathrooms and high prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anchorage lost its only decent breakfast spot when Little Dipper Diner closed, so we'll have to wait for something comparable to present itself. read more

Food is yummy comfort food! Mac n cheez is perfect!! In every way! Grilled cheese w/tomato soup was everything you remember from childhood. Sour dough bread is fluffy and crunchy at the same time. Cinnamon roll was a decadent way to finish the comfort. Jessica was friendly and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibe is Portland funky and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were just passing through Anchorage and it was made our brief time here memorable! read more

We almost missed this gem! Decided to try something a little further from our hotel. Great corner location and easy to find. I saw a couple of bad reviews and I'm surprised. Our experience was A-1! Great service, we were seated in about 5 minutes and that's on a busy Saturday morning. Ambiance is great. This is an Alaska woman owned business and today is International Woman's Day so it felt even more special. They support freedom, LGBTQ+, diversity, and woman now for food, we had the pecan sticky bun, coffee, snow crab omelette, french toast, chicken sausage, and hash browns with a little gravy on top. Everything was hot fresh and came out fast. 1000% recommend you come here! Meghan was our server and was amazing! read more

Usually when I travel I like to experience different restaurants, even when I enjoy one. But this place is so good I had to return the next day. Great breakfast and exceptional service from Valor the first morning (unfortunately I forget the name of the server the next morning). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be prepared to wait to get seated. I feel obligated to write a 5-star review. They deserve it. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! One of the employees told us that they have a line down the block before they even open in the summer, and I believe it! We just landed after 16hr of travel and this breakfast was exactly what I needed. Delicious food, very very cute dining area and big portions. My partner said he def would opt for half size of the heart attack on a plate instead of getting a full one next time read more

We flew into Anchorage to take the Winter Train to Fairbanks. Snow City came recommended from a family friend. Snow City is a cute little cafe, downtown Anchorage on the corner of L St and W Fourth Ave. The service was wonderful. A few recommendations were recommended from our server. Everything was top notch amazing. What we got; vanilla and spiced Chia Hot Latte, Raspberry Mocha - both with Oat milk. French Toast with candied bacon, Salmon Patties, Soup, Farmers Omlet. read more

Snow City Cafe - Stuffed French toast w/ extra bacon on the side- - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Alright, woke a tad hungover pretty early and thought I would sneak in here for breakfast at 8am. Wrong!! They were on an hour wait but I found ONE single seat at the bar. Let's start with coffee, the most important part.. they have GREAT drip coffee as well as MANY espresso drinks hot and cold! The menu is quite expansive with 6 different eggs benedict dishes including a red king crab benny; omelettes; pancakes & waffles, etc. they are known for their Egges Benedict & Nuevo Huevo.. their take on Huevos Rancheros! Had Eggs Benedict and it was perfect with a lemony hollandaise to finish, so good. Service was good although the waitress couldn't remember a damned thing 2 seconds after you told her? Whatever/ great place! Talk later read more

Great food. We had no issues with the wait staff. Everyone was friendly and we love the atmosphere and location. We will definitely be back on our next trip read more

We strolled in at 7:40 and waited about ~10 minutes in line to put our names on a waiting list and wait another 30ish minutes or so. Our server was absolutely amazing and attentive even though the place was absolutely packed. I had the OMG French toast and I don't think I liked the filling but would have just enjoyed the normal French toast much more (but I'm a sucker for anything candied bacon). My husband had the breakfast sandwich which he very much enjoyed! I also had a Pineapple Express smoothie which was phenomenal! Overall I really enjoyed the fast paced vibe in the restaurant but I also think it was just a little too much for me this morning and I didn't necessarily enjoy my meal. Other than that this place seems like somewhere I would try again and maybe skip a few things! read more

Snow City Cafe is a great an popular breakfast spot in downtown anchorage. It's very busy and you should definitely get on the wait list online before showing up to reserve your spot so you don't have to wait their for 45 minutes or longer. You can check your place on the list online and head there when you're close. (Plus you'll get a text when your table is ready.) That's what we did and didn't have to wait at all once we were notified and arrived at the restaurant. If you do find yourself waiting there for a table, fear not, they offer coffee to people waiting to be seated which is fantastic. There are also games and sidewalk chalk to keep you busy. It's a fun spot with plenty to choose from for every diet. Vegetarian and gluten free items are labeled on the menu so you'll feel like a first class citizen if you have one of those diets. They're also very flexible - Everytime my wife asked a question that began with "can you..." the answer was always "yes." The drip coffee could have been stronger for my tastes...definitely a few steps above the "browned water" some places server, but I like a coffee that is so bold it slaps me in the face at the first sip. (I'm sure our server would have slapped me had I asked...she was VERY accommodating.) I had the 2 egg breakfast with a biscuit as my side. They also offer Beyond Sausage as an option for meat-free folks. The hashbrowns were among the most attractive I've seen, cooked all the way through albeit a little bit too oily on the inside. They cook their biscuits on the grill after baking - I prefer them just baked as they get a little too dense and greasy when you add the grill step. My wife really loved the veggie benedict she got. And we felt like we kept getting free upgrades...I had egg whites with my breakfast and they didn't charge us the printed charge for that. My wife ordered just half a benedict (Our server said they could "halve" anything which is a great option to have) - They brought her a full serving and only charged for the half. They also didn't charge for the biscuit upgrade as my bread option. My wife also really liked her decaf espresso and was happy to have a coffee drink suitable to her preferences. I wish they jams they brought with the biscuit didn't have sugar as the first ingredient...a nice house-made jam, or selection of jams beyond the one packet they brought (and maybe something just fruit based) would have been better. The pancakes we saw at another table looked out of control (huge and the person eating it confirmed they were delicious.) I'd give 4 stars to the food with 5 for the overall experience, attention to detail and general thoughtfulness exhibited. read more

Snow City was overhyped to me. I don't think Alaska has very many food choices, so maybe this is as good as it gets. We ordered to go on a Wednesday 8 am morning and the wait for the food ended up being about 30 min though they told us 10 min. The restaurant was already packed with a 40 min wait time by 8 am! No one really knew how long it was taking which was kind of annoying. Turns out they actually text you when the food is ready, which the employees didn't tell us when I asked for a status update twice.The eggs benedict on Canadian bacon was not very good at all, 3/5. It was drenched in hollandaise. I wasn't a fan of the hash brown side (prefer home fries). My husband got the Fourth Avenue Special sandwich, which was really good. read more

My wife and I were in town for a vacation. We went here for breakfast, and we lucked out because they sat a table for two quicker than bigger parties. I had their crabcake benedict (I can't remember the name of the dish), my wife had their loaded hashbrowns. During this visit was my first time having a "sludge cup" (drip coffee with a double shot of espresso), I've always heard it described as a black eye. I really like potatoes, especially hashbrowns (even the frozen ones) and I got to say that their fresh hashbrowns were thick and crispy, probably some of the best hash browns I've ever had. Their food came out really quick, and their coffee was good. They also have a bunch of hot sauce options. It was a really heavy breakfast, also because I helped my wife finish her dish, but it was a good way to start the day. read more

This is a very popular brunch spot in downtown Anchorage. We initially put our name down via the Yelp waitlist but managed to grab bar seating (first-come-first-served) before our estimated wait time. We got the polar bear bfast with blueberry pancakes and tundra scramble. We also got the cinnamon roll but that never came out. It wasn't an issue for us because we were too full by the end of the meal. Overall, the food and service were good, but it felt like any other brunch experience you could get elsewhere. read more

The food was great but my server was probably my favorite part of my first time experience. He was very polite and patient with me. He gave me his best opinion of what he suggested for a first time meal. I was there to eat & study and he did not rush me or over interrupt me. I will definitely be returning again to try more of their delicious food. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because I was seated at the table by the exit door and caught the breeze every time someone walked out. read more

Snow city is great! We ate there 3 days in a row - last time in anchorage. The açaí bowl and the smoothies were a hit with my daughter. I had the crab cake Benedict which was so yummy along with the nuevo huevos which is like chilaquiles but they add some rice - pro tip make to add the chorizo to it. I also had the breakfast burrito on the third day and it was delicious but probably next time would get the bowl option. And you cannot go there and not have a sticky bun - insanely good. Thx for some great breakfasts - see you next time in anchorage. read more

So while on a fishing trip I was excited to try this place. Being from Fort Worth, Tx there are only one or two spots like this there. But it is definitely worth going. The place had a 30 minute wait on a Wednesday morning and I understand why now. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very laid back. I got the Cluck Norris (omelette style) and the chicken apple sausage was really well balanced with the white cheddar cheese. My drip coffee was very good too. My father got the Cowboy Meatloaf Sandwich with the pesto pasta salad. The pesto on the pasta salad was very good and fresh with great flavor. The Meatloaf sandwich had a lot of flavor including a smoky element which I wasn't expecting but was a nice surprise. This meal was a great way to end a fishing trip. Super glad we came here. read more

Snow City Cafe is a great little cafe with great drinks and food. We arrived at 2 pm and still had to wait about 15 minutes to get a seat. The staff work well together and the food was delicious. The stuffed French toast was just delicious. The last time we had something like this, it was at a small cafe outside of Zion National Park. Unfortunately that cafe is no longer around but the stuffed French toast brought back fond memories. I would order this again and again. Being in Alaska, I wanted to try the reindeer sausage so I ordered one of the omelettes that had it. Overall it was very mild and tasty as it's mixed with beef and pork. We also ordered hot and cold coffee drinks and they were perfect accompaniments with the meal. Lastly, we ordered their sticky pecan bun. It was great, not too sweet and the pecans were crunchy. We would have liked to have the cinnamon morning bun but they were sold out so we have something to try next time (and we will have an opportunity again at the end of the trip). read more
