The Black Bear

We loved the avocado toast and “bearito” banana bread and muffins were also delicious. The place was crowded but they work quite fast. By the time we hit the ordering counter, there was a free table in the terrace and food was ready in a blink. Very friendly service. Best breakfast in our Alaska road trip.

The coffee house is easily one of the best places along the little strip outside of Denali. It is laidback and comfortable with good service and tasty food. It will remind you of your favourite coffee joint/cafe back home.

We went twice for breakfast and both meals were delicious. They have lots of gluten free and vegetarian options on their menu and the prices are very reasonable. While you eat, there are free refills for coffee.

They also have art from local artists on display and for sale including the option to get it shipped home to you.

The coffee house opens at 6am which is great for grabbing coffee and breakfast before heading out for the day.

Overall, highly recommend grabbing food here!

Ordered hot chocolate and avocado toast and it was pretty good.

Great little hip cafe with some really good signature dishes, great coffee, cakes and cookies. I visited a few times on my trip here and almost totally enjoyed it. Just don't order their potatoes in any form. They're always deep fried beyond the point of recognition. Those poor potatoes...

Great cute little spot. Ideal for early morning breakfast. We had two breakfast sandwiches. I had the standard one with bacon and my wife had one with the bacon substituted with smoked salmon (special request and they accommodated the request no problem!) They were massive breakfast sandwiches and delicious too! My only mimor complaint was it was a little dry without a sauce on it. Adding some hollandaise sauce to these sandwiches would make them 10/10 but thats just me. Great customer service too! Will definitely come back if we are in Denali again!

Hamburger was OK, nothing special. French fries were mostly burnt. People were nice and offered new fries, which were good. Apricot scone was good. They have a decent selection of sandwiches and baked goods. If you are looking for a local place away from the overpriced food at the hotels, this place fits the bill.

It was good to grab breakfast...
Coffee was amazing.. food was okay.
They had free WiFi.
Great place to hangout for a bit

Good food for breakfast. Friendly staff. Reasonable price. The pancake was good. Hot chocolate was not hot!!!

Patient and fun staff make fun food bad coffee with swift turnarounds that tastes good and is filling. Bless them for existing

Delicious! I bought a slice of the sweet potato bread or cake, not sure what it was called. I also got what looked like a giant thumbprint cookie. Kind of like an oatmeal cookie with jam in it. Both were absolutely delicious and wished I had gotten another of each. I had a cup of hot chocolate that was very good! I would love to have the recipe to both of the things I ate!!
