SNOW CITY CAFE REVIEWS

Excellent cafe in the heart of the city. The staff, coffee and food was outstanding.

I'm so glad we finally made it in to this place. We tried to get her last year but we didn't know the wait was so long. This year we KNEW and signed on the wait list before spending an hour wandering downtown. It was worth the wait. It's crowded, colorful and loud. The staff was all friendly, especially Anika! The mimosa hit the spot and the Benedict was PERFECTION. My brother had the French toast and Irish Coffee and said it was delightful as well.

The food here is absolutely delicious! I had the biscuits and gravy, and they were easily one of my all-time favorites—definitely in my top 10. My husband tried the crab cakes, which were incredibly tasty. The meat was very fresh and perfectly seasoned. There can be a bit of a wait when you arrive, but it’s 100% worth it. If you’re in the area, you must stop by.

MIDDLE WAY CAFE REVIEWS

We decided to try out Middle Way Cafe while in Anchorage and WOW was it amazing! The outdoor area is perfect for dogs! The food was fantastic! My daughter and I each had the B.A.L.T.O. Sandwich on toasted gluten free bread. They give you two sandwiches each! It was perfect to eat one there with the great chips & homemade salsa and then have the other sandwich for later. My son-in-law had the Reuben on sourdough and he loved it, as well. We also had some yummy desserts…the snickerdoodle cookie sandwich, gluten free raspberry cupcake and the gluten free/vegan Linzer bar. I highly recommend eating here and bringing your fur friend with you. Just be sure you have someone with you to sit outside with your pup while you go in to order.

Middle away Cafe is fantastic. In terms of quality and quantity, you get what you pay for and more! In my experience, the food has always been better in-house than to-go order. I can’t say enough about the quality of the food ingredients and the pleasant feeling it leaves on the stomach post gorge. Enjoy.

very delicious lunch here. i had the avocado melt(vegan) it came with the blue corn tortilla chips. i also had the vegan chocolate brownie with icing. brownie was a little dry but overall good, it did have a strong coconut taste if you’re opposed to that.

BLACK CUP REVIEWS

The shop itself is easy to access and very attractive inside. The large windows and different styles of seating (bar seating, group tables, couches, small tables) are very enjoyable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the menu is straight forward and fairly priced. I loved the art on the top of my friend's vanilla latte, and my mocha was to die for! It's like they used Mexican chocolate, the flavor was very unique and I enjoyed every drop. I will be back.

They are the best coffee shop in a town with a serious coffee addiction. If you want a perfect pour-over or a delightful doppio, this is the spot. They also have the best single-origin roasts to take home with you. If you love coffee, blackcup is heaven. Plus they have a well-thought-out and safe set up for these COVID times.

Excellent coffee and energy in here - good drip - and great americano's and get an almond croissant - the best in town.
