Auke Bay Cafe

Unassuming cozy spot with killer views across the street. The 2 girls who assisted us yesterday morning were pleasant and helpful. Dare I say this is the best omelet I've had yet? I ordered the veggie omelet and I'd recommend go on a long hike first or bring 2 other friends to share it with. Perfectly flavored with a slight kick of spice. I ordered a side of breakfast sausage (sorry, I'm not vegan) and milkshake. Both were awesome compliments. The mini donut on the milkshake was a cute touch. If you ever visit Juneau, drive out a bit further from downtown and visit this local spot in Auke Bay. I'll definitely come back.

We stopped in for a quick bite to eat. I can’t comment on the wrong food orders or not prompt service - our food came out fast and was correct. I would add that
it appears to be very young employees and not an excuse by any means. It would take in account the lack of experience. I would say the only negative thing on our visit was that no one greeted us as we came in. It wasn’t the best impression.

Gorgeous view of Auk Bay and declious food with tasty enjoyable coffee. What more could you want from a cafe?
I had the bacon egg crepes and they were an enjoyable mix of savory and sweet. Definitely will be coming back again in the future.

Great food and service. Generous portions. Nice clean restaurant with a great view.

The Denver omelette was delicious. I ordered an iced chai latte and think I got a regular latte instead. The view, although overcast on the day I was there, was still really delightful! Loved watching the show fall while having breakfast.

This was a great place. Plain and simple. They put a doughnut on the milkshake as a garnish so they get an A+ immediately. The shake was amazing too. They offered other menu items, had quick service and was clean. It was a good experience.

Our family of four ate here this morning and it was delicious! Kiddos had the strawberry waffle with Nutella. Hubby and I had chicken & waffle with gravy. Food was delish, coffee was hit & smooth, restroom was clean. Highly recommend this spot for breakfast!

Didn't get what I ordered. I wanted chicken and apple. First they made the apple but no chicken. Then I asked for the real thing, they gave me spicy chicken with no apple. That was after it had gotten cold on the order counter. Just stick to one topping. Any more than that they get very confused.

First off, I’d like to say that I don’t like ragging on local businesses so I’ll start with the positives. Staff was very polite and helpful. The food is decent and not outrageously expensive as is common in Juneau. The view out across Auke Bay harbor is world class, of course.

However, every time I’ve come into this place to pick up my food I’ve noticed the state of the floors. Today I finally dined in and, while waiting for my food I was left with nothing to do but study the accumulated grime in the cafe.

Please, sweep your floors more often. Food from previous diners was everywhere on the floor. It doesn’t look like there’s been a proper mop job in months. Grime has accumulated around table legs and at the foot of booths. Black spots that are easily removed by scuffing them with a shoe are all too common. The floor has a noticeable texture when you walk across it.

Smudges of meals gone by can be seen on walls and other surfaces as well.

The sit down and pick up experience could be improved remarkably by some quick cleaning.

Had the worst meal possible this evening and so disappointed. Take out order - no one in the cafe, was told it'd take 30 minutes. After a short wait, burgers were up. 10 minute drive home. Not only was the order wrong, the burgers were stone cold. And not traveled-in-the-car cool, but stone-leftover-from-lunch cold. So disappointing and waste of $$. If it wasn't such an inconvenience, would have turned around and returned them for replacements. Not a great representation of what we have generally found to be good eats.

Great new addition to the area. While it's not out of this world, burgers were great. Tall and filled with goodies. Love the ability to customize toppings (caramelized onions? Whaaat?!?). Owner (I'm assuming) was visible and attentive. Chicken sandwich was great; tacos were sloppy and tasty. Haven't tried waffles yet, but they're on the list as are the milkshakes! Expect continued improvement as they work through the new biz bugs...but will definitely make this a regular haunt. Thanks!
