Cute little place. Great spot to hang with a friend. Great cupcakes and waffles. There are so many coffee options. I don't drink coffee but it really smelled good. The staff was really nice.

LOVE this place! Their staff is very friendly and understanding of dietary needs. They have a large drink menu with several dairy substitute options. A decently sized menu for a cafe, with taste soups! Their baked goods are delicious! They are almost entirely gluten free, with many dairy free and vegan options.
Favorite: Cranberry Bread...AAAMAZING!
Dislikes: sometimes the music is louder than I would like and they don't have their events posted very well. I've gone their a few times expecting a nice quite (as usual) place to write and think to just been busy with an event that I didn't even see posted.
Plus: "First Friday" is when they introduce their new features local artist!

First time in this cafe with my family ordered pretty simple coffee and waffles but somehow we had to wait over 30 minutes while everyone else in their table who came in after us got all their food. Good coffee but really slow or prioritize other customers first.

In our 10 day trip to Alaska, this place is the best we came across in terms of taste, value for money, cleanliness, gluten-free options, vegan options and variety. Too bad that we found this café on our last day of travel and departure via Fairbanks airport. We started with 1 order of their GF Vegan Belgian waffles but ended up ordering 3 more as it was soooo delicious, tried their GF vegan cupcakes, bowl and smoothies and were impressed with every single item we tried. Will definitely go back to this cafe if we go to Fairbanks again.

Very clean and organized. A nice little electric fire you can sit in front of. And they have all kinds of yummy treats in addition to the standard coffee and fruit drinks.

Definitely a place you should check out if you eat vegan or gluten free. Their sandwiches, soup, and desserts are SO good and made fresh. The matcha almond flour cake is my favoite....also the applesauce cookie....also the freshly made waffles. Also one of the few places I know of in Fairbanks that offers oat milk for espresso drinks.

Outstanding quality coffee and food for vegan food lovers and meet eaters alike. Meat is mostly chicken salad and the like, but great quality. The best options they have to offer are the treats in the glass case up near the cashier, which has many healthy snacks like parfaits, cookies, slices of cake, and the like. The coffee they sell here is to die for. Overall very clean, great atmosphere and exceptional customer service.

My wife and I have made three three visits and have had great food every time. There is an amazing selection of gluten free options and they actually don't taste like cardboard. It tastes amazing! I had the breakfast wrap and my wife will miss their GF waffles. We came back for coffee and snacks and were not disappointed. Coffee and almond cake make a great combo.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, my wife says the coffee looks “pretty.”
However.. we were pretty disappointed at the quality and quantity of their breakfast options.
You can order a waffle, but if you want syrup and butter, it’s an extra charge.. just seems a little cheap to me. My breakfast sandwich was obviously microwaved, and the eggs were very dry.
