Birch & Alder 27635 Seward Highway, Anchorage, AK 99540

"This is currently drive-thru only, but there are murmurs they might open for inside seating! The coffee is delicious and so is the food. Pretty much everything is made in-house from the coffee syrups to the pastries to the bagels! The food is a little pricey, but it is worth it. The Bagel Experience is amazing. There are also vegan options (cream cheese) which is much appreciated. This place is a little bit "out of the way" but it is worth the drive/detour!"

"Great food (try the bagel with lox, scones, breakfast focaccia), great service and delicious mocha with the house nut milk. Consistently fresh and satisfying. I will continue to stop here every time I drive south (in fact, even when it's not on the way!)."

"Stop in if traveling along the Seward Highway! We stopped for a coffee and breakfast and oh wow was it all delicious! The vegetarian bagel was so fresh tasting, the peach scone was moist (how I like my scones, personally!) and the breakfast focaccia was to die for! So many good flavors, the staff were so friendly, and such a great view even on a dreary day!"

"Oh My Alaska! Absolutely the best Bagel I've had outside NYC and better than some within. The employee at the window was so kind, patient, and helpful. The view is astounding. I highly recommend an iced chai, and the Bagel Experience (as is or vegan) or even just an everything bagel with cream cheese. Can I put y'all in my carry-on!?!"
