The Black Bear

Loved this cute coffee shop. Excellent food, coffee, and tea with a surprisingly big menu. Great views, especially from the outdoor seating. Even had live music. A little pricey, but everything is up in Alaska.

Friendly, but the sourdough pancakes were a little dry and did not taste much like sourdough. Moreover, it’s a little annoying that, when paying with a Visa card, the payment menu directs one toward a tip, but after eating, I saw that they expect people to buss their own table—what’s the tip for, especially when done before they have done anything except take our order at the register?

Simply wonderful. The coffee was excellent, the service was super friendly and fast. And the buttermilk biscuits made our family baker drool. A must-go if you're in Denali.

Our very favorite spot for healthy & quality food options in Denali; plenty of great options on the menu if you’re vegan, GF, or have dietary restrictions. Fresh ingredients and from-scratch pastries are such a nice reprieve compared to packaged/processed junk at other local eateries. And hands-down best cup of coffee to be found between Fbx & Anc to boot!

Great place!! The food was awesome, but honestly speaking, the staff was so friendly that the food could have been mediocre and it still would have been a tremendous experience! I highly recommend stopping here during your trip to Alaska!!

Fantastic egg and biscuit sandwich. The breakfast burrito could have been bigger. Great service.

Friendly staff and great gluten free options! The blueberry bar and apple cake were delicious and just what I needed for a couple days worth of adventure!

I was so happy to see The Black Bear is still in Denali, stronger than ever :)
The sweet and kind owner Becki always creates delicious menu; it's hard not to stop when passing by you smell the fresh coffee and the yummy baked goodies.

The breakfast was delicious! Whoever bakes their focaccia bread is a master baker ❤️

Great little hole-in-the-wall coffee shop. Very comfortable, good atmosphere, and some awesome scenery. The coffee was just what we needed after a long day in the park and the baked goods were delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the area it's located in as well. And!! Free Wi-Fi for customers.
