Reviews For Alaska Coffee Roasting Company

Super cool coffee shop with tons of food options as well. I got one of the small pizzas with the reindeer sausage on it I believe. It was also cool how they had chess and checkers here to pass the time and fellowship. I crushed my opponent by the way. If I lived in this area, Alaska Coffee Roasting Company would be a personal regular stop.

Amaaaazing coffee, atmosphere, and treats. Love coming here on a cold, rainy days. Must try their eclairs and affogato (ice cream w/ espresso shot). Also, it’s close to the campus and brings a fun crowd. Classical music helps with studying too. I like that they are open late and you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The only things is that I hope they get their wi-fi fixed soon and install some power outlets for the studious types

Great service and atmosphere. The staff were kind and patient. Reasonable price, got coffee and scone (yeah, it was definitely good size lol) for 10. It can get a bit loud with large party groups. Other than that, great classical music in the background and natural lighting when it was empty. Wish my coffee was hotter, maybe the milk wasn’t steamed enough? I’d definitely come back and try their pizza. I had their peach strawberry scone, not too sweet, it was perfectly done. Also, I think they normally provide free WiFi, but their service is down at the moment as they are trying to change providers. Just fyi :)

Super busy with tables crammed together, but the bakery items were so good I don’t mind how busy it was! I got a slice of peanut butter pie to go...and I regret not getting two slices!!! I’ll be stopping by to get some savory and sweet treats to eat on the trip home.

Alaska Coffee Roasting Company has been a Fairbanks staple since I can remember. Their on-site wood-fired pizzas, baked goods, premade items, and hot case foods are delicious and, with such a large variety, they accommodate many different tastes and dietary needs. The coffee is some of the best in the state and the beans they source are extraordinary. The coffee here is an incredible quality and the effort put into sourcing ethically harvested and thoughtfully curated beans sets them apart. Coffee is roasted on-site. They sell bags of whole and ground beans, grind beans upon request, and rotate through their variety so locals or repeat customers can try different roasts and regional flavors over time. They are fairly consistent with coffee quality and shot pulls, but syrup portioning, cappuccino dryness, and teas can be more inconsistent. The prices have always felt a little outrageous for a cafe, but for fresh, house made dishes, unique rotating flavor combinations in baked goods, and a variety of homemade coffee syrups, amongst other qualities that only they seem to nail, it is justifiable. Drinks overall have comparable prices to other places in town.

Came in on a rainy day, they were busy but the wait was reasonable plus they have plenty of seats! Got a reindeer pocket, spinach tomato and cheese frittata (forgot to take a pic), and a lavender blackberry scone. Also got an oat milk latte and husband got a seasonal drink. We are visiting Fairbanks for the first time, would recommend for anyone unsure of where to go for a coffee/breakfast spot. This place also has plenty of amazing looking desserts that we didn’t get to try. This place also makes personal pizzas that we saw someone other customers get so nice options all around

Loved the coffee, ambience, and the service! Kudos to the team! This place is a must visit if you are in Fairbanks. Coffee: large variety of selection. We laughed about not being able to understand the different types of coffee mentioned on the list but the taste made up for it! Ambience: it is quiet, peaceful. There are some board games if you want to spend some quality time. They provide WiFi (although it didn’t work when I tried) Service: excellent. They answered our questions, were patient, and overall good experience.
