Absolutely love this cafe ❤️ this is the only place I eat out from since I found out I have celiacs. I have never been cross contaminated here! And the selection is vast and all tasty 😍 the treats case is well stocked and sooo pretty 🧁. Jackson and Em are always super nice when taking and making my order! (And the rest of the staff, I wish I could name them!) I wish I could give this cafe 10 stars because they deserve it! And the I think my favorite part is that my takeout order waste is compostable ☺️ the gluten free waffles never disappoint. The meze platter is filling, fresh and colorful! And the breakfast sandwhiches have the option to be made into a frittata; have you ever seen that? I haven't! I can't gush enough about this place 😍😍 I'm in love!! 💕💕

My son and I were rudely denied service at the front counter 4/19/22 because I would not put on a mask. I said nobody else is wearing one. Patrons were sitting 4 feet from me, obviously maskless, eating. He said (in short) that's company policy.
Too bad, I would have spent alot of money there. It's a cute looking place and I hope in the future these ridiculous policys will be recended. Untill then, not one dime of my money will support this or any other business that implements tyrannical human spirit stifling mask mandate.

The lower rating is for the quality of food and value. We got sandwhiches and a coffee. The White Mocha was very watered down and didn't even taste like a mocha. They kindly made a new one when I brought it to the counter. It was delivered to our table by a manager I believe. It was improved, but still one of the worse specialty drinks I have had. I got a veggie sandwich. It was small, bland and lacking filling. It also got quite soggy quuckly. I may be rating harsher because I ordered the same items a couple months prior and they were much better quality and value for what was paid. The first visit it also came with a side. This time it did not. The menu still appeared to be advertising a side with a sandwich. I could be completely mistaken and not have realized I was charged extra. They really need include a side if the sandwiches are that small. I really enjoy the location and the staff are polite. I just may stick to baked goods and try a different drink.

I tried their mango and habenero smoothie - wow, what a great spicy kick! Very comfy place with good food, excellent coffee and great service.
During winter there is only cozy indoor seating but they do ask patrons to mask up! ❤️

Place is super adorable and and has a very chic look and feel. Good food and strong coffee! I think the overall look is awesome and staff is friendly. Prices are good. Made for just a small bite, not large portions. Only thing I recommend for improvement is maybe a coffee refill while sitting down and the Wi-Fi is a tad slow. Overall, will be back!

We are vacationing in Fairbanks and just happened to find this joint through Yelp. Great find! We were jonesing for some fresh foods; salads, sandwiches and homemade soup kind of food. This hit the spot!
The Belgium waffle, Tuscan turkey, bean soup, veggie wrap and salads were delish! Definitely a local spot kind of feel.
If you are looking for a meal, I recommend ordering two things like a salad and a sandwich, or a sandwich/wrap and soup. Totally worth it!

Good healthy food, tasty sweets and friendly staff. What I did not like is the amount of plastic waste generated when dining in. It's ridiculous!
Cindy Weis
Delicious sandwiches soups and desserts and all gluten free! Very friendly staff too. What a wonderful option for the Fairbanks community. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the portions were a bit small for the price, relative to other places in town.

I've only been there once to ask about soup! The lady working at the front didn't seem bothered at all by my weird soup questions, and even let me taste the soup they had made that day before I purchased. It was delicious and I did buy a couple cups to go. She was super nice and helpful, and the soup was delicious! Cafe area was clean and friendly.
