Menu as of August 1, 2025
Buddy G.

Great food, large portions, a tad pricey. Confusing decor. Friendly staff. Quick service. I would definitely return.

I have to agree with everyone else: this restaurant is extremely unassuming and extremely good. It's located in a strip mall near the airport. If you are a tourist in downtown Juneau...it's so good you should take a special trip up here! It is very hard to describe the genre/style of eatery this is. Best I can do is that it reminds me of some of the more eclectic eateries found in Hawaii. The food is equal parts French bakery (if this place were ONLY a bakery, it would be one of the best places in Juneau), BBQ stand, and Pho slurpery. Sound weird? It does *sound* weird, but it just completely works in person. Everything here is thoughtfully hand made with great attention to detail. Just pick something on the menu you vaguely like and you will be blown away. I got some baked goods for a hike one day, a breakfast burrito another, and some BBQ meat on my third visit. (that's right, I was in Juneau for 4 days and came here 3 times!)

Breakfast burrito (in a bowl with tortilla on the side)

Zerelda's was recommended by a born-and-raised local so had to try it! We looked at the menu online the night before and planned out what we'd order for brunch on a Sunday. The menu had been updated overnight by the time we arrived and the salmon cake benedict (what I planned to order) had been removed :( I asked the lovely woman at the register if it was still available and within minutes several staff members (not sure if management, ownership, etc) had greeted me and explained that the menu was just updated and the Benedict was removed because there wasn't a demand. They also offered to modify several dishes and offered suggestions to try to accommodate my diet. It's apparent that these women really care about their business and their customers. We tried the burrito deconstructed into a bowl and it was HUGE and delicious! We also tried the quiche - a bit on the salty side and also very generous portion with a super fresh salad. The chai latte was watered down and the house coffee a bit burnt tasting. We wanted to try so many things from the pastry cabinet but decided to behave they even have a massive GF cookie! Loved the care behind this establishment.

Had an amazing lunch at Zelda's Bistro! We tried the soup of the day -- meatball soup -- and the lunch special, pulled pork tacos. Both were absolutely delicious! The service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic, and they have a great selection of pastries, too. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

I LOVE the food here. I don't live in Juneau but this is one of my "must eat" spots when I go. Locals often recommend it. Every thing is delicious and the desserts /pastries are to notch. The service is great except for one counter employee who always seems unhappy and short on patience but every one else seems genuinely happy to see you. I love this place.

Pulled pork burrito and sweet potato ginger bisque
Andy T.

Came in for lunch today. The place is a nice cozy little bistro. The place does get busy, there is limited seating inside and out. Staff is very friendly. Had the pulled pork burrito and special sweet potato with ginger bisque. The salsa was very good as well as the burrito As with everything here, it's pricey but it's a good place to come.

Zombie chicken sandwich & Cobb sandwich
Kevin G.

Great food and customer service! Top 3 restaurants in Juneau. The pickles used to be fried.

Pork Katsu Sandwich with Fries
Brian C.

What a great little find in Juneau! This was my first time getting to explore the town, and I'm happy that my indecisive mind was finally able to settle on Zerelda's. I called my order in and the employee was funny, a little quirky and had a cool energy about her. I was quoted about 10 minutes for my Pork Katsu Sandwich and Garlic Fries, and was on my way to the location. When I arrived, the atmosphere was very relaxed and the restaurant was quite clean. They offered a nice seating area, and if I weren't wanting to just head back and relax in my hotel room, I would've been happy to eat there. The glass case of extra meals and desserts were so well presented and made me want to order everything!! I decided to add a side of the Kimbap Rolls to my order, and headed back to my hotel with both items. The meal smelled amazing and I could wait to dig in! The fried were cooked great, and the garlic parmesan topping was delicious. The Pork Katsu marinade had a great tangy taste (which actually doubled well as a little dipping sauce for the fries!), and the patty was hearty and flavorful. I loved the addition of pickled onions, fresh cucumbers, and the aioli they added was the icing on an already great sandwich. The Kimbap Rolls did not disappoint! Loved the taste of the seaweed and carrots inside, and the bite of the dipping sauce that came along with them. As someone that lives in the lower 48, the pricing of the food was a little higher than I'd prefer, but understandable considering the costs involved with getting quality products to the area. Overall, highly recommend this spot!!!

Delicious pork belly umami ramen.
Mackenzie B.

I've had the ramen and the phó here and both were excellent! Quiet, intimate space with plenty of seating inside and outside. You order your meal at the counter and someone brings it out to you, but you bus your own table, which doesn't bother me. I really like this place!

Korean wings
George L.

I still think this is one of the best places in town for a real meal not from Costco. The creativity is great and the staff friendly. I do think the two different lines to check out is confusing because you can only order certain foods from one counter then you have to go to the other line to order something different. I had the wings and the dish was great but I believe a dish put together so well to be eaten with a fork should be made with boneless chicken thighs because they retain the moisture but keeps things clean. Wings are a finger food so why eat half your dish with a fork and then the wings by hand. Otherwise perfect.

Great food - lots of variety. We walked to Zerelda's from one of the airport hotels. Best meal in Alaska.

Ramen night was the best! They no longer do ramen night! I'll change this to a five star when they bring back ramen night.

I truly owe this business a review. Unfortunately my scheduled layover took a turn for the worse…read moreand I was stuck in the Juneau airport for about 8 hours. I don't know how I would have survived without this quaint little coffee shop/snack bar/bar. Initially I got a chai tea. It was good. Nothing too special. After announcement that mechanical failure for my flight to Anchorage would delay us, I returned to Cup of Joe to order lunch. I got the pre-packaged Cobb salad and took an extra dressing (no questions asked!!). It was a decent salad that was pretty packed with protein . After a marathon watch of Yellowstone right there in the Cafe, I got an Americano with room for cream and sugar. It was the highlight of my time there. Above all the person working there was very friendly while not bothersome (i.e. he could have tried to push me along but didn't...he also asked once if I was sleeping but I promptly woke up and said "no, just squinting at the small tablet." To which he replied that was good because you couldn't sleep in there.) I suggest stopping in if you have a layover or few minutes before your flight.

So this place used to be downstairs, but moved upstairs by TSA. It now encompasses the bar too…read more Limited food options but coffee bar is solid, can't speak on behalf of the bar part since don't drink. It's never super busy or a wait, so that's always a plus
