I had not seen that the stuff were made gluten-free. I had ordered a mint cupcake and an orange cake and I was a little disappointed because they looked amazing, but I think bc they were GF, I didnt like them. I thought they were a bit pricy too. But the coffee I had it was amazing :)

The raspberry latte was truly amazing! And the place is really nice. I usually get disappointed by waffles in most places but this place makes them perfect for my taste.

This cafe is very cute and cozy, that we loved it so much that we ended up coming here twice! ❄️ the staff were very friendly, the pastries we had were delicious and our drinks hit the spot. We had chai latte, pour over coffee, hazelnut cookie, and granola tart which were all extremely yummy! For the second time we came, we gave the cinnamon roll a shot and even though I was hesitant because I thought it looked dry, it wasn’t at all!

The coffee was good but the bakery was not , the items barely had any taste to it ( banana bread , apple sauce cookie and vanilla cappuccino cup cake) the only thing that was pretty tasty was the fruit tart !

Great coffee shop with an impressive array of baked good and a range of house roasted coffee. Service was friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a good craft coffee option in Fairbanks, put the Little Owl Café on your list.

Will not go back after yesterday. We were faithful patrons until having a run-in with the owner yesterday. Her presence changed the whole atmosphere of the cafe and the staff. But we Love the staff! When we arrived, four people were in upfront, and we weren't greeted. There was a woman with her back to us, bending over and doing something in the fridge. I was later told that she was the owner. When she finally noticed us, her demeanor was off. As we were thinking about our order, a young man walked in and asked for the rest of his order, and he was completely ignored. He was an African American man. When placing our order, the owner and I sparred about what to call a drink. I told her we come there often, and all of the staff know exactly how to make the drink; she replied dryly, "It must be from someone else's menu". My husband later told me that his previous encounters with the owner were similar and he thought she was just having bad days. As people of color, I can only assume that she doesn't want our business. NOPE. As consumers, we have a lot of power when deciding where to spend our money. Little Owl is off the menu for us.

Came here with my friend about a month and a half ago and was super excited about all the gf and vegan options, everything was delicious! The only problem was my salad I ordered was two pieces of kale and some sweet potatoes and a pinch of toasted garbanzo beans, very delicious but bit worth the money. My friend had a salad wrap that she thought was delicious and adequately packed :).

My wife and I both laughed out loud when her Kale salad arrived in a big plastic container with a clear plastic lid for dining in. The salad was the most pathetic salad I have ever seen. Not exagerating it was about 5 pieces of kale with less than 10 chickpeas and a few little rings of onion. There was more "salad" on my ham sandwhich (which was pretty good). I told the front counter and the girl said "Oh must have been a bad prep". Coffee was good.

Things are a little different here in a very good way. Good food, coffee, teas, & environment. They even offer gluten-free, nut free, etc.

My daughter and I love the owl cafe! The baked goods are so delicious! And gluten free! The coffee is great! And the staff is wonderful! Somedays they are super busy, but it’s definitely worth the wait! I enjoy seeing them busy because it means business is good and we can keep going there. Highly recommend to everyone!
