We attended Spenard Joe's for a special "soup" event during Pride Month. They set up a fire pit, seating and invited local LGBTQ2S artists to their patio to set up tents. It was really cool. They also have a very interesting menu of teas, coffees and other beverages and creatve concoctions I've not seen offered anywhere else. We all very much enjoyed our offerings and were regretting that we hadn't visited Joe's when we lived in Spenard! read more

Amazing coffee! They have so many flavors to choose from. The guy working the coffee shop was super nice. A great way to kick off our trip!

Always my go to place in Spenard! The coffee is on point and great conversations with the crew there! Don't forget to grab a Sammie, they have the best in town! read more

So clever AND delicious! We had the Mo Pesto (?) & egg and ham bagel along with the Lady Godiva and a hot chocolate. Everything was tasty and the staff were so friendly! Next time I'll ask for a bit less Dijon on my bagel sandwich. Large portions too. This is a drive through, not eat in, so we went to the nearby Lake Hood to watch sea planes and catch the cool atmosphere read more

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat and a coffee. I was enticed by the super high Yelp reviews and the cute aesthetics of the food truck. Husband and I got the pesto sandwiches and a latte. Sandwiches were okay; they were smothered in a very salty yellow sauce that had a hint of pesto. They were also quite small and weren't really memorable. The chicken was deli meat, and there were a few pieces of arugula. Latte was good; I think Starbucks would have been better for just a latte. Admittedly, I did not try one of the cool and creative drinks like "Bad Apple", which would probably have been better if I felt like something sweet. Menu did not have vegetarian sandwiches, prices were a bit high, and sandwich was oozing with way too much sauce for me to give this 5 stars. Service was friendly, though. read more

Spenard Joe's - Brekkie sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I'm a sucker for anything lavender so I had to try The Lady Godiva - lavender mocha with salted blackcurrent whipped cream. I went on a warm-ish day, so I asked for it iced. Delicious!! It's such a cute coffee hut and I love the mustache on the cup. If I drove by this place to get to work I'd stop here daily. Unfortunately, it's in the opposite direction but I will definitely drive through when I'm in the area or make a special trip here on the weekends. read more

This is about as close as you can get to my favorite drive-thru in Palmer, while still being in Anchorage, Elwoods Drive Thru: https://www.yelp.com/biz/elwoods-drive-thru-palmer This place is a drive thru coffee shack, but it's really so much more. They have grab-and-go sandwiches that are much more than just the microwaved, freezer-aisle sandwiches of so many other coffee shacks in town. They are inventive, delicious, and made with care! To top it all off their Americanos are mighty strong! Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that the service and be mighty poky. If you're in a hurry, it's probably best to try somewhere else. read more

Variety of drinks. Fresh breakfast sandwiches. Reasonable prices. Easy drive in and out. Great customer service. Digital point card. I especially like their cold press. This is my favorite coffee place! read more

Very friendly, big drink menu... sufficient baked good selection from another local bakery. They are able to make a proper breve with heavy whipping cream - love this. They were perhaps a little heavy handed on the steaming as cups were hot to touch. But I do realize this is a personal preference. Skip the chansons support the local joints! read more

The coffee was great with some unusual offerings. The "mustaches" are a fun touch. It's a drive up stand so thankfully you stay in your car. The neighborhood surrounding the location was rough. read more

Garrett and his husband bought and took over Kingfisher Coffee that used to be at this location. They live in Spenard as well so it's nice to meet fellow neighbors! They were all very friendly and kind :) I absolutely love their marketing style on social media and their specials have really drawn me in, so today I went and took advantage of their small business special. ($20 gc purchase and a free 12oz drink) They have two drive up windows and it's very easy to get in and out. I also love the murals they commissioned on each side of their building. The fireweed/flowers/bee is my particular favorite. Today I tried the Noggy or Nice which is espresso, rum syrup, eggnog, whipped cream and nutmeg. It is incredibly unique and satisfying on this snowy day. Next on my list is Santa's Beard or the Spenard Fog. They offer other coffee shack items from lattes, mochas, doppio, Red Bull smoothies, frappes, etc. They also have some food items available that while I didn't sample today, I would like to in the future. Their options sound much tastier and fresher than a soggy croissant ham and cheese microwaved like other nearby shack offerings. The brekkie bagel sounded amazing - ham, cheddar, egg crepe w/ Dijon on an everything bagel They also had a few lunch options! Stop by. Try a unique mix. Ask for a suggestion! Get to know your local shops, they need us the most right now. read more

Spenard Joe's - I love their mustache theme :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This is, without a doubt, my favorite coffee & breakfast food place in Anchorage. I've had every single one of their posted drinks, not a single one of them from any of the baristas has been less than exceptional. And the food? Sweet Jesus, the food is phenomenal. Especially the Full Monty. I can't give enough praise for this place. All I can do is give them my repeated business. The only, single problem I have with Spenard Joes, is their schedule. The hours here are awful, it's rare that I ever get to even go here because I work before they open, and I get off after they close. If they were on UberEats or DoorDash or something, I would be f*cking ***ecstatic***. You'd see my business damn near daily. Anyways, much love to Spenard Joes, without a doubt the best coffee & coffee shop food available in all of Alaska. 11/10, couldn't recommend highly enough read more

I love these Alaskan drive-thru coffee shops! Convenient and so good. There's so many different varieties here, I had a hard time deciding which to get. Ended up getting the Spenard Fog, becaues I love london fogs, and it did not disappoint! Had an interesting spice twist to it! The guy was super helpful and offered some sggestions and recs too. located right on spenard street. Would definitely visit again on my next visit. read more

Stopped by today because I needed caffeine and someone recommended this place. Honestly I'm pretty picky about coffee. I got the pumpkin pie latte and I think I saw heaven. Not only was the latte outstanding, perfectly sweet but not overly sweet, but the service was also outstanding. You can tell they really love to make these drinks and the attention to detail is something you just genuinely don't see. Try it out you won't be disappointed! read more

Spenard Joe's - a person holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Coffee wasn't bad, but their sandwiches were delicious with unique flavors. Service was great with a smile.

Spenard Joe's is so much more than the average coffee cart. Their drinks are gourmet and innovative, with options like Turmeric dirty Chai (my favorite) and Lavender honey lattes. You won't find any microwaved croissants here. Their sandwiches are artisanal status. The brekkie bagel and turkey sandwich are my go to's. Hands down this is my favorite coffee cart in town to grab a quick cup of Joe and a quality bite to eat. read more

Our freshly made sandwiches were absolutely delicious! My husband got the Jive Turkey, his was just as delicious as mine. Seems like you can't go wrong with any orders. We were just passing through town headed to Seward. We made the right choice by stopping here for some amazing coffee and food. If we come back into Anchorage we'll definitely be stopping at Spenard Joes again. I tasted my husbands coffee (Fools Gold) wow! It's on the sweeter side, which is perfect for him, it was like a banana pancake in a cup. So good! read more

Favorite coffee stop in Anchorage! Breakfast sandwiches are fresh and delicious and not your run of the mill packaged microwave junk. Their specialty drinks are fun and innovative without being too wacky or sweet. Quick and friendly service. You won't be disappointed! read more

I love this coffee stop! While it's unfortunately a little out of my way to make it a daily thing before work, I try and come by at least once a week. The owner is super friendly and I have had great conversations with him about all sorts of things. While I normally just get a cold brew, they have some unique and tasty specials, and I always like to check out their monthly drinks. And I love every one of the sandwiches, so much better than the normal ham and cheese croissant you see around town. I think I could eat the turkey sandwich every day, it's just that good to me. Definitely check Spenard Joe's out the next time you need a pick-me-up. read more

This place was a pleasent & delish choice on a random Saturday. Might be my new favorite spot
