MUST try their GF DF carrot cake cupcakes. Amazing.
Wait time
On food and coffee will
Be unreasonably long usually. Sometimes the food is super amazing and sometimes you’ll have to ask them to remake it. We’ve been coming here for 18 years and still love it even when it can be bad sometimes. In anchorage this is my favorite cafe as they have amazing options and the best hot beverages. However: the gluten free cookies and cupcakes and other treats they have are absolutely the best in town. They have different GF treats whenever we go. I love their selection. If only other places had such amazing gf treats. Not sure about their food options. Their matcha latte and coffee are just bomb.
Service is either amazing and lovely or some atitude depending on who you get. We usually the the lovely people!
We were in Anchorage for the long weekend, and Snow City Cafe was recommended to us by our Uber driver on day 1. We loved it so much that we ate breakfast here 3 days in a row! The Eggs Benedict were so good - I recommend the half & half option so you can try more than 1, (specifically the Kodiak/Ships Creek combo).
There is also a great selection of gluten free options for intolerant and celiac folks.
The staff was also incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about local attrations, and offered great suggestions for GF alternatives, (having corn tortillas with an egg scramble instead of toast).
Things a very popular spot though, so I highly recommend joining the virtual que on the Yelp app prior to arriving - otherwise you may face over an hour long wait at peak times.
if there are a lot of people you definitley be waiting a minute but its worth it, brisket is soo flavorful and cooked well. They have gluten free options that wont leave you dissapointed. consistent and kind!
Bustling for a reason. Good sandwiches salads and breakfast burritos, and amazing desserts with a huge gluten free selection. I love the setting and there's more seating in the back.
This is a lovely, boutique restaurant and coffee shop with a truly gluten-free kitchen. We tried their pizza, golden milk, and matcha latte today and were delighted with everything.
I keep wanting to give this place a chance but I think we’re done. We went a few weeks ago and the wait was long but nothing out of the ordinary. Once seated we placed our order. I ordered the sourdough gin and tonic. I asked to substitute club soda for the tonic. The soda was flat and where I assumed the rhubarb would be somewhat muddled, it was just a few frozen hunks tossed into the glass; not what I would expect for a $14.5 cocktail. Our meals consisted of the butter burger and huevos divorciados, both delicious, but we didn’t receive them until 35 minutes after ordering which was frustrating. At least I had time to try to muddle my frozen rhubarb. Before we got the bill my partner asked if he could try one of the biscuits. He was given a cold biscuit in a box. No butter, no jelly. It was dry. We tried again this weekend per my request since their gluten free menu is probably the best for brunch in town. It was another long wait so we went to the coffee shop next door. I ordered a cappuccino and it took them 35 minutes to make. I am not exaggerating. I then realized they have one machine for the coffee shop as well as the entire establishment so there were waitresses coming in for the brunch orders which put those of us in the coffee shop behind. We were seated after an hour. When given the specials I asked the waitress if the potato leek soup was gluten free and her response was “probably not, it tastes too good to be gluten free” we ordered the omelette and the shakahuska, and I specified gluten free once more. When the meals came, there were baguettes on my plate and my meal was cold. I asked if I could please have gluten free for a third time and she acted surprised. I placed the baguettes on the table and was brought two small pieces of gf toast to mop up my cold breakfast. Staff are very friendly and the options look delicious, but I think we just get really unlucky every time we come.
Okay, I love this place. I create my own sandwich when I go, and they have other awesome options too on menu. I know they've added gluten-free options as well! You can dine in or take out! Love, love, love this place. A must try in Eagle River!
Did a search for Gluten Free Food near me, and this came up. Skeptical, we walked in and sure enough, they have gluten free buns, and even gluten free, dairy free oreo milkshakes. My wife and kids were thrilled. It was a new place for us to try and we'll be back. The only disappointment was the fact that this location has only on bathroom, and they were out of paper towels when we washed up. I let the employees know, and they promptly fixed the issue.
Thankful that we found this place downtown. Simple, little cafe with a great menu for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch. Gluten free and vegan options. Service was relatively quick, albeit not very friendly (similar to many other places we've gone to in Anchorage).
Lots of non-coffee drinks to choose from and lots of seating. Good place to meet up with a party of four or less. Nice selection of baked goods with gluten free options. Very clean and safe during COVID-19..
Our waiter was 4.5 stars. So very much appreciate he checked ingredients before order as I have Celiac. Felt safe eating at this restaurant and will definitely return soon. My chamomile tea was excellent too. There food is art on a plate!
OMG..
My wife and I flew several thousand miles from Honolulu to Anchorage and stumbled across this small little restaurant with BIG aloha as “Paul” provided the sense of ‘ohana.
The Gluten-free option was an ultimate plus and the out-of-this-world salad bar was crazy delicious.
My wife had the BLT in “gf” bread and I had the run of the mill spaghetti with marinara sauce.
NOTHING… I mean nothing was “run of the mill”… the food was super over-the-top ‘ono (delicious), the service was warm and expedient, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in a cozy restaurant in Hawaii with local “Jawaiian” music playing in the background.
When they served in-house meals in take-out containers… I was a bit surprised, However, once you “attempt” to eat their generous portions…. you have an epicurial epiphany… the portions are so large, your gustatory gallop through the meal leaves a large portion of leftovers… so for your dining convenience, you merely close your take-out and carefully take it home and plan when next you will get to enjoy the rest of your tasty delight at home in your own gastric anticipation.
Mahalo, Paul, for the awesome dining experience !!

We went for brunch. It's a very small place. Interesting menu with some tasty sounding options but almost nothing for gluten-free patrons. So I went for the miso-corn soup. It sounded odd but was surprisingly delightful. The service was very good.
Don't waste your money.. Go somewhere else. We stopped in for drinks after driving up from Anchorage for the spa while visiting AK and decided to grab a bite to eat. We used to live up here and had been to Alyeska plenty of times and to the other restaurants for food with amazing experiences. Not really sure how this one was so far off the mark??
Three of our four meals were so bad I wouldn't have expected to have paid more than $5-10 a piece for them. Dry as a BONE. We decided to ask for some marinara for the chicken since it was breaded and came with absolutely nothing else to it, and they charged us for the sides of marinara lol what a joke. Felt like being nickel and dimed over a crappy meal - not what I would have expected from the high-end vibe and $30+ meals??
Decided to try a gluten free pizza with butternut squash puree and goat cheese on it. Sounded really good and unique in theory but turned out to be a flat piece of crust with the tiniest amount of puree on it. As a whole, it was super bland and unflavorful, and again - *extremely* dry and chewy. A $5 budget pizza would have been better than this.
I'm not just a hardass with high expectations. I've worked in the hospitality industry plenty and this was just so bad that I genuinely feel robbed.
Our server was nice and she was great, but even good service on her end couldn't save this.
At no point did we ever see a manager or did anyone check in to ask how our food was. I kept waiting - I didn't want to put the burden on our server so we didn't end up saying anything. Was going to say something to the hostess on our way out so as not to burden our server with it (it was just so bad that someone's got to say something! Otherwise how does anyone improve) - and of course there was no one to be found there either on the way out.
The only good food item that came out was the meat ball appetizer that one of us ordered for his meal. What a complete joke. If you're going to charge upwards of $30 for basic dishes, at least get them decent enough that people don't have a terrible meal.
This was a $45 tab at MOST value wise.. yet we closed out at $120. Such a let down. That's a lot of money for us for splurging and now it's just wasted.
If you're a vegan or vegetarian, you'll love Preference! My dad who is NOT vegetarian had a vegan burger here and really enjoyed it. Lots of flavor and decent portions. They were able to accommodate to me being gluten free and provided me with a gluten free bun. The fries were really good too!
I like eating here, even though the Gluten Free options are limited. The wait staff is super nice and friendly, both at the bar and at tables. They have a good gf bun for burgers that you can use for sandwiches, and they also have GF pizza.
So good every time! Great customer service too! I swing by anytime I have time in Anchorage. I have been here a few times and they never disappoint. The consistency is spot on. Oh and they have gluten free options and a smoothie bar !!!!
We showed up as a party of six. One of whom has a gluten dairy allergy. The waitress was amazing. The manager, Chad? Changed the channel so that we could watch the Pacers game. Class Act in Anchorage.
This is an amazing restaurant! We love coming here as a family and sharing the vegetarian platter. We will be back over and over! I wish they used the traditional injera which is gluten free, but I understand it can be hard to get. I would happily pay more for ensuring it's gluten free! We can't wait to come back.
Always love a place that serves breakfast all day haha! The variety of syrups are delicious, gluten free pancakes available here for the sensitive stomachs. Omelettes are great, the Colorado is my favorite but they're all good. I've always had great servers at either locations in Anchorage. Thank you for always being consistent with service, food and attention to your community!
The vegetarian Falafel Pita with a gluten free pita wrap was delicious. I would recommend this location because the staff was very polite, helpful, and patient. This is the best tasting gluten free pita wrap. The place was super clean and the atmosphere was quiet
I would choose this place again and again, low fat and low calorie food options.
Love everything about this place! The staff is so friendly, the food is amazing and HUGE! My husband and I shared a meal and still had leftovers. They even had gluten free toast!
Excellent sub! Had the make your own turkey with provolone. Never been here before. The customer service was awesome and explained everything to us. Even had a rice Krispy treat too! My co worker got gluten free and was also thrilled! Thank you 😊
Bad location with rude workers/no manners. They apparently don’t care about keeping their gluten free bread safe by cross contaminating their GF containers with regular wheat bread. Gluten can cause cancer in celiacs, the least you can do is not contaminate what little space you hold for gluten free bread. Rude workers. Refused to help me find the other location that has GF bread when they were out of stock. This store is a shining example of why there should not be a $15 minimum wage. Thanks for wasting 20 min of my time while I waited in line just to be told you all were out AGAIN.
Lettuce wrap available for gluten free/low carb customers!
Probably the larger burger you can find here at a fast food restaurant. I enjoy getting the lettuce wrapped. I have gluten issues and it's nice to get a full sized burger and not have to throw away buns and be left unable to eat the meal. Nice job providing this option 👍🏻 tasty fries here.
Finally got to go to Mo's. Everyone i know days is a great deli, and more i know why. They have Gluten Free GF wheat bread, which was yummy toasted for pastrami. A little pricy for a combo sandwich, but seems like everything in Anchorage is high, and their employees seem very happy, so, glad i could pay someone else to make me a marvelous deli sammy.
There's so much to love about this place! The quiet, relaxed atmosphere is wonderful for a quiet place to work, study, or read.. or enjoy with a friend. The pastries are very tasty, and there's always gluten-free options! The drinks are good, matcha oatmilk latte is my favorite. I appreciate that mushroom powders can be added to drinks for health benefits (Chaga, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi). There is a lot of art for sale up on the walls, as well as prints available.
Huge portions, real food and awesome service. We had enough for two meals! The waitress was also very kind and offered up gluten free options and ensured that everything was perfect. Everyone who comes to Anchorage needs to stop here!
Asking if something was celiac safe because my fiancé has celiac disease is always hard, but getting made fun of and having them put things in our food was not ok.
The drip coffee was good, the employees were rude, almost entertaining.
Everything we ordered was purposely made wrong.
My order was ok because I poured my own coffee except for my cinnamon roll.
I dont know if the cinnamon roll was supposed to have globs of butter instead of frosting, but that seemed odd.
I asked if there was anything gluten free. They told me they could make me garlic shrimp in a separate pan. I was thrilled! Didn't expect it. So delicious 😋
Great tacos! As someone who has to eat gluten and dairy free it was easy to eat great food here - I just ordered the tacos dairy free. They also have gluten free cider available. Very convenient location close to the St Elias hospital.
