The Black Bear

Made fresh and made well. Despite being busy, they didn't just slap stuff on a plate. You can tell everything is made with the same level of care and pride.

Had house coffee, blueberry muffin, and breakfast sandwich. All the ingredients are top shelf.

Staff was super friendly and love their work.

Came her for lunch after spending the morning in Denali. It was crowded, but line was moving quickly and tables were clearing out quickly. You place your order at the register and they bring it out to your table. Service was very friendly and helpful.

Ordered The Denali Platter, Breakfast Sandwich, Biscuits and Gravy, and the Bohemian. Also, ordered a slice of banana bread and a cookie. Everything was brought out to the table within 10 minutes made fresh and hot. It was a simple breakfast, but everything tasted great with homemade and natural ingredients. Midway through the meal, the cashier stopped by the table to tell me they refunded me a meal as they accidentally charged me twice. With the many orders, I didn't even notice, but definitely appreciated the honesty. Once done, they ask you bus your table and return the dishes to one of the stations. It made things more efficient and also a home feeling.

Nice place to come for a meal while visiting Denali. Good food and service.

This place is great! We had breakfast here twice, and both times it was outstanding. Coffee is wonderful, claims to be locally roasted (not sure if it’s there or Anchorage), all the variations you can think of, but my straight black was perfect. Good food choices for breakfast, the homemade biscuits were awesome, and the bacon some of the best I’ve had. It was very busy both days, but the staff was upbeat, efficient and friendly. Crowded inside, but a great view of Healy Mtn. on the deck. Highly recommended!

Great vegan and vegetarian options. We loved the avocado toast and the veggie bowl.

Coffee is exceptionally good. Nice staff and great location.

Portion size is on the smaller size for the veggie bowl. Avocado toast was pretty good.

Loved this little place. A little hard to get a table, but the coffee, the eggs, and their house potatoes were amazing! The staff is very friendly too, and they had a good spread of scones, cookies, and cakes. Would recommend highly for breakfast in Denali and Healy.

This place is great! They are SO nice. All the food was excellent. I highly recommend the truffle fries. Steamdot white chocolate mocha was SO good. I loved the broccoli salad. It was busy...but they move people through pretty quick and I didn't have to wait too long for the food or drinks.

Coffee was really smooth. Avocado toast was well done, bacon was ok although I'd prefer it crispier. Denali platter had good sunny side up and biscuit with rich sauce. Salad was fresh. The grilled cheese was a little unusual because they incorporated some onion in it but i actually liked it. Butternut squash soup was ok and really nice in a cool weather. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, first come first serve.

A lovely little café here in Denali! We tried the biscuits and gravy, the breakfast 'bearritto', the eggs Benedict and the avocado toast, all which were terrific. We also purchased banana bread and coconut bread to go and they were soft and delicious! Definitely a place that knows how to make solid breads! Also, they have to go sandwiches and snacks if you need something quick. As a note it does get packed during morning breakfast rush hour, so come early to get a spot. Yes there is outdoor seating!

We loved this place! Went back for breakfast 3 days in a row. Take the staffs suggestions - they don’t lead you wrong. Breakfast sandwich was a hit, but get the amazing buttery biscuits instead of the English muffins. Apple cake was amazing. We got cookies for our hikes and they held up in our packs but still were soft. Just excellent. Favorite place of the whole trip. It gets busy after 8am - so come early if you want a table inside gaurenteed, but plenty of outside seating if the weather cooperates.

Excellent place for coffee and breakfast! They even have gluten free and vegan options. We actually enjoyed it so much that we went 2 days in a row.
