AK Alchemist Coffee

I just ordered coffee... But it took 40 minutes to get! The two people that ordered behind me got their drinks first and I was told: "sorry, we don't have a system so sometimes the drinks come out out of order."the breve Chai I ordered came out with 2% milk, the skim mocha I ordered came out with 2% milk but sugar free. Definitely will never return.

The staff seem nice, and haven't tried the food - but the coffee isn't good, and it's incredibly expensive:/ such a bummer because it's a convenient location! But I'd rather drive a couple blocks out of my way for better coffee at a better price.

My family and I were beyond excited to give this place a try. The sign advertised halibut tacos, reindeer tacos, and salmon quesadillas (sounds interesting right?). Well, let's just say we ordered the halibut tacos and the halibut was dry and lacked flavor. We ordered the salmon quesadilla as well... Big disappointment!!!! Our food tasted like the to go box it was placed in (which appeared to be made of recycled material so feel free to use your imagination here). The beans tasted as if they were out of an unlabeled can and apparently was low sodium, fat, and overall life oh yeah and the salmon tasted really weird. Needless to say I'll never waste my money on their less than delicious food again but may give the coffee a try then again Starbucks isn't that far away!

Only tried the fish and chips and I tried the cheese fries, not disappointed! Really great taste and friendly worker! Will be back for other tastes!

Food is really good, and a fun place to hang out in downtown. Downside is they are really slow.

The smoked salmon tacos were a little bit on the dry side and there wasn't enough sour cream and pico. The pico de gallo was good!! I will go back to try another dish

I’ve worked for this local company for 5+ years, & without a doubt, I cannot say one thing bad. I even spend my free time here! Employees/ coworkers treat everyone like family -which is my favorite part.

Come here if you’re looking for the Alaskan touch on a ‘dive’ ‘beer garden’.

Fish taco was so so at best. Fish was not deep fried like a real fish taco. Salsa was good but chips were blah

Coffee is terrible, the owner choses his baristas based on looks, not their coffee making abilities. When I visited, one of the workers parked behind my car which blocked me in for over 5 minutes.
I'd like to point out I am from Seattle, so maybe my coffee expectations are too high, or I just had a bad barista that day.

I stopped by to grab a quick bite to eat here this morning. It appears to be a drive thru coffee shop but I was able to walk in as there is a door to the shop that is facing 4th Avenue off of 4th and C street.

There is seating as well as a slender counter top for indoor dining with glass windows that allow viewing of downtown Anchoragite life- but this is a trailer type set-up so there is not alot of room. But it works.

I was greeted at the door and had a conversation with the cook and cashier. I felt welcome.

There is an area for outdoor dining which I bet sucks the tourists right in.

I had a ham and bacon n egg breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee to start my day. Only cost me 6 dollars.

Don't forget to check out the mural on the side.

PS-- THE BURRITO WAS DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS
