Atmosphere is cozy (it's a small building) and welcoming, with friendly staff who appeared to enjoy their work and got the orders up quickly. We really enjoyed their coffee drinks, which were well made. The baked goods were also yummy, homemade items with a variety of selection including vegan options. I ate the bacon and egg sandwich, which was tasty... More

Great selection of coffees, teas, sandwiches, and tons of fabulous baked goods, including LOTS of vegan options! Friendly staff that plays great music on the sound system - a must-do when in Denali.

This place stood out amongst the plethora of fast food etc joints, and served excellent coffee. We also had soup and sandwiches which were equally good. We liked it so much we went back the next day! NB we were there in August 2011...

While expensive, this place has the best coffee and baked goodies in the area. They also offer a good variety of sandwiches, and can do lunches if you're off on a tour of Denali Park.

There was a variety to choose from for breakfast: bagels and sweets to egg sandwiches. The coffee and cocoa were fantastic! Wish we had stayed more than one night so we could go again!

Great place to get coffee and a quick breakfast. Staff was very friendly with interesting personalities. No complaints and way better than the brown water your hotel is serving.

It is a little hole in the wall in Glitter Gulch. It is affordable with wonderful home made sandwiches and soups that are creative and delicious. We had so much trouble finding good places to eat in Denali...we ate there three times.

Decided to walk across the street from the Princess Denali resort to grab a quick bite. Strolled into this coffee house and was impressed by the quaintness of decor and ambiance developed by the surroundings. The biggest surprise (a good thing) was the quality and freshness of the veggie burritos. Authentic ethnic taste and very fresh ingrediants.

Open from 6 am - 6 pm, great employees, good food, amazing coffee, good music. If you're taking a picnic for an all day park tour, go here. Your other choice is Subway.
