Feel like this place is overhyped and doesn’t reach the expectations a lot of people set it for. Their famous cinnamon rolls are mediocre at best and their breakfast is alright.
SNOOZE has a doppelganger called Snow City Cafe! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ Voted "Best Breakfast" by locals since 2003. Serving gourmet breakfast and lunch in a bright cheery space in downtown Anchorage where the art changes monthly! I see why this is a fan favorite. What's not to love!?
Today I walked in and found out I had one minute until the kitchen closed. I figured I was out of luck because it would take me forever to find something safe for me to eat with my allergies so I turned to leave. Monica beckoned me back and suggested something matching my specific needs. Then she came over and we chatted while my food was prepared. Made my day!! It’s really really hard to find food I can eat and I’m hungry most of the time. The food was tasty and fresh and gone in seconds! I’m SO GLAD I’ve returned to Anchorage where I encounter lovely wonderful helpful people every day.
Had the breakfast burrito with a side of hash browns and iced tea as pictured. Excellent. Superb service. Enjoyed the location and the walk over to Resolution Park.
They have a half and half for folks like me who want both One crab egg Benedict and one salmon. Couldn't eat all of it, so left the bread and ate the topping. He had the stuffed French toast which also was so delicious
The food highlight of our Alaskan adventure! We stopped by on a weekday for lunch and were happy to be seated quickly. Debated whether we'd jump straight to desserts while warming up with a delicious coffee 😂 I devoured the Crunchy Thai Peanut salad with a HUGE piece of red salmon and some OMG! candied bacon stolen from my girlfriend's plate while she wasn't looking.! Also had a bowl of Mulligatawny soup because the server said it was good (and I agree - so very good). Took a piece of carrot cake home because we were so full. I thought this would be a regular coffee/pastries shop and was so pleasantly surprised by the experience. Great service, too 🤘
Cute breakfast and lunch spot. Ordered the snow city latte and tomato soup with turkey sandwich. Tastes like home-made, only better. The soup was actually the best tasting part. Took a carrot cake to go because I was too full for dessert but they looked too good to pass up. Will be back again soon!
This is a brunch centered cafe so the menu consists of mostly egg variations and sandwiches. I got the eggs Benedict and the ship creek Benedict. The eggs Benedict was solid, the salmon patty in the ship creek had a bitter taste to it. Everyone I interacted with was warm and welcoming. It has a very casual atmosphere. Considering the location and hours it can be a hassle to get into in the busy summer months. Overall I'd recommend this place for a casual brunch with espresso.
I ordered the St. Patrick's special corned-beef sandwich; meat was full of fat, dressing was too sweet, there was barely any "house-made" sauerkraut on the sandwich, and the bread was drenched w/fat or water from the barely-present sauerkraut. Waiter asked how food was & I said the sandwich wasn't what I expected. I asked him to let me work on the salad and said we could work it out later. I didn't see him again until check-time. No refills on water or coffee, no check-backs. I stopped by to try to connect w/ the manager and to ask for some sort of concession on the way out; a discount for the value of the sandwich I didn't eat or something. Manager made Absolutely No Concessions Whatsoever, not even asking what could have been better. I'm astounded; I didn't raise my voice, I didn't insult anyone, I complimented then on the blue cheese dressing and the salad greens- I was really looking for middle ground and to make a connection (they're hiring). I was ready to offer constructive feedback...And I Was Asked Not To Return. This is not my first bad experience with a Locally Grown Property Restaurant- Not always, but more often than not, staff have had snotty attitudes, food is good but overpriced, and management (if you can find them) can't be bothered. Quintessential Alaskan: they want your money and, other than that, they don't give a F* In contrast, since so many people are so up about South Restaurant and Snow City, consider this: Once upon a time, a server rounded up my check to the tune of about $1.70 at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I called the manager to let them know that it didn't seem particularly ethical- I expected Nothing in return, Not A Thing-- I was surprised to hear from the manager-- and because I had good things to say about the restaurant, because I didn't ask for a dime, and because I took the time to offer constructive feedback, he sent me a gift certificate enough for dinner for two. Snow City Management thinks they are so bad*ss having worked
Ordered a 20oz iced latte with light ice. Got the first one with almost 3/4 of cup of ice. Exchanged another one with good amount of ice but tasted disgusting - extremely bitter, sour, no body of coffee at all. Food is good though.
This place was on my radar for a while; they have a cool breakfast menu with a lot of things I'd want to try. I had a quality cappucinno -- no complaints. For food, I went with the Oscar style benedict. The hollandaise was excellent, but it was really the only thing on the plate with flavor, and any bite without the sauce was kind of boring. The hash browns were super soft, good overall, but needed seasoning. The crab by itself was bland and unseasoned. I generally like dark toast, but my English muffin was burnt. I'd give that plate a 6/10, so a little disappointed based on my expectations. Service was pretty good and my food came out lightning fast.
Breakfast wasn’t a WOW! for us unfortunately. After lot of reviews, and recommendations we decided to go. Nothing surprises
Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - Wild Mushroom Omelette was mediocre. It was decent in taste and flavor but not outstanding. Deadliest Catch Benedict was one of housemade smoked salmon and one of king crab. Both items were quite dry and not enough hollandaise sauce to help it along. The hashed browns were really great and seasoned well Blackened Salmon was really dry but the sides were good Ambience: N/A - ordered food to go since it was a 55 minute wait at 8:15 AM on a Thursday. We were called to be seated at around 8:25 AM but they were unable to change our order to eat in. We were able to eat in front of the restaurant at the little tables that were set out Service: 5/5 - had a new cashier that was learning but everyone was very friendly Value for price: 2/5 - very pricey for the food quality and flavor. Was a bit disappointed since this restaurant came so highly recommended by several people
A nice local spot that travelers like as well. Nice atmosphere with a little bit of a wait. Big portions fir the price. Pancakes are huge. Lots of French Toast with the Polar Express. The jam on the table hit the spot, very nice surprise. Their brew tea wasn't great was the only complaint.
The perfect home style diner greasy food to heal your soul. The latte was also DELISH and stayed at a perfect temperature. You dont need a reservation but be prepared to wait if you dont have one. I was by myself so I was able to get a seat at the bar with no wait on a summer Friday morning.
This place is a must stop in Anchorage! Fun vibe, great diner fare. Accommodates lots of dietary restrictions with alternative milks for coffees and vegan / gluten free options for more sensitive systems. Great hot sauce tray and friendly staff. Recommend arriving early on the weekend, because this revolving door could easily get a line around the block. Dress warm, as the seats by the window are a bit chilly - but the coffee is hot! Perfect brunch spot M-Su
This is one of my absolute go to places in Anchorage for breakfast. There is a large variety of food options and they are all delicious! I also love the local art they have displayed for purchase. Super chill and fun vibe.
Everything on the menu is Quality! The Benedicts are awesome! Today I had the Grilled Cheese with Mega-Bacon, Tomato 🍅 Soup Combo. My Favorite LUNCH! Love this place!
I heard great things about this restaurant, but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. The biggest issue I encountered was that the hostess was being very rude to people - I watched a small group come in and just go to a table, and the hostess went on a power trip about that they could not seat themselves, to go back upfront, and then brought them back to the same table - so all she accomplished was embarrassing them and disrupting the calmness of the diners nearby. I also felt that as a solo diner that they did not value me - I was placed at a small table (too small for me to put my map down and plan my sightseeing like I planned) and was not permitted to move, even though multiple normal size tables were open. The cinnamon roll is huge, and pretty good. I also ordered the ‘Cluck Norris’ which was okay. I wouldn’t recommend visiting unless they change their hostess staff, because you will not be made to feel welcome.
The food was very good, but it did feel a little pricey to eat here. They also charged a dollar more for real maple syrup. I do wish they just made that the main option with your food and included it in pricing. Not to mention they had a fruit plate for $14 dollars. The food was really good, just seemed a little steep for what it is. However! The coffee here is amazing. They currently have an eggnog espresso and that was heaven in a cup.
