Only been able to make it in a few times, but such a quaint, inviting and accepting environment. I try to make an effort to go every chance I get when I’m in the area. Gives off an Alaska version of a Friends like cafe.

The most welcoming place where I could get a delicious matcha! Good matchas are pretty hard to come by in the valley but not here! The moment I stepped in the owner and customers were the friendliest group of people! Will definitely be returning!

Finally!!! A café in Wasilla that feels like a real community coffee house! The vibes are warm/colorful/artistic, food is fresh and locally-sourced, and owner is a delight and clearly has a heart for creating an inclusive, community-focused space- there’s even a food pantry area and lending library in the back. Ive been waiting for a spot like this to open on this side of the Valley and we finally have it. If you want to drink coffee with a “Stepford Wives dystopian cafeteria vibe,”there are other places to go in Wasilla, but I plan on sticking to this awesome local gem!

Favorite place to come in from the cold and warm up. During the summer it’s a great place to take the kids in for a treat after playing in the park across the street. Super family friendly. Pink matcha lemonade with a splash of coconut milk is amazing.

The bagels are exceptionally delicious, not to mention the impressive drink menu and in-house syrups; my personal favorite ,is the sweet potato, is truly exceptional. The ambiance is remarkably relaxing,

I’m excited to try the winter seasonal flavors! Limeade will forever be my favorite tho! I normal add pomegranate and kiwi! She gets the better products for us with better ingredients! The coconut cold brew is another all time favorite. The kids love the Italian sodas. I do my weekly drive out from Anchorage it’s so good. The owner genuinely cares about her customers and her community. She recently expanded the space! There is more seating available and now food too. Bagels made in Alaska and fresh cream cheese mixes for them! Both sweet and savory options. Get them fast! Flavors sell out for good reasons. 🤤❤️

Definitely check this place out! The vibes are immaculate, the bagels are incredible, and the coffee is amazing!! We ordered the jalapeño popper bagel and miso ginger scallion bagel. The flavors combos are so good, great ingredients, fluffy warm bagels. We also got a hot chocolate and dirty chai latte. Both were super good. Will definitely come back here again. Perfect pick me up after thrifting or going to the park!
