"Nostalgic small café in the forest. I like the idea behind this place. Natural, organic, “REAL FOOD” from scratch. It is a GREAT target, but food must also taste well. I'm always a matcha girl, but I didn't like the matcha here. It tasted more water instead of creamy. And it had a spicy touch of taste, like a spicy chai, but with much more kick. I personally don't think the flavors go well together, but then again I like my matcha on the sweet side, sometimes with a splash of coconut. I enjoy the Mexican chocolate chai, it tasted, not far from how I had imagined it, and I enjoyed the kick that it had nice together since the note pairs but wished it had a little more cream. The quiche was pretty good, my children enjoyed it, but I wasn't a fan of crust that was the part I was most happy since it was gluten-free. It was extremely dry and even hard to cut. I think it was made with corn flour. Personally, I would go with a fluffy acid cream gf “pee” crust. There are many ways to make it, but I do mine with an all purpose gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, butter, acid cream, etc. It would pair with this quiche tastefully. The eggs were the perfect texture. It said it came with meat, but the generous ‘snell’ I only got a few very small pieces. But as I know, not every disc will be the same, so maybe I just ended up with a missing disc. I would have enjoyed more meat than on the pictures. It also came with gluten-free bread. They were also very generous with the bread slices, which were mostly end pieces, but nevertheless good. However, since the Gf-Brot is a denser, dry bread, instead of a soft moist bread, I would have preferred to heat up a little more because they were REALLY hard, like cardboard, but after they took home, they heated up and add some butter, they were pleasant. I also ordered a sandwich that doesn't look like that on Facebook. I don't know if I'd get it again. As a bread I had to take it apart and heat the bread together with meat, so it was not so dry. I was especially pleased with the balsamic sauce, but it was not quite enough for dry gluten-free bread and as you can see on the photos, it was only on one side of the sandwich that left the other side bland. So I had to take it home and add some taste and more sauce I had finished to whistle. Originally my favorite thing was the carrot ginger soup. It was supposed to be the special, but at $10.50, not including taxes and tip, it wasn't even worth a quarter of it. I took it home and added some taste. I started with a pink Himalayan salt, a little cinnamon, cardamom might have been good, but I decided against it. I also wanted to make it a little sweet and creamy, so I had some homemade sweet cream that I had, and it completely changed the whole taste of the soup. My children even fought about it! I took a photo of it, after some stirring in the cream and it even looks tastier. It was 10 out of 10 after some tweaking. I can say with confidence that the ingredients they used were in any case real/natural and at the end made it for a delicious soup. You have a really wide choice of options, not only drinks, but also food. Even beer and wine. Your pizzas I've seen online look really good. I don't drink coffee, but my friend said she was good. They also had a decent selection of candy. I'm not a big fan of sugary foods, but thought as I was on my way, it would be nice to get a few gf treats. It's delicious. My favorite was their fudge/chocolate bars, definitely a guilty pleasure and probably the cream of the harvest for chocolate fanatics. I suggest trying a dessert and maybe some for the road. I want to be clear, I recommend trying this cafe, but I believe constructive criticism from customers who keep going places like these can only help grow and make greater. I would like to try again, down the street and even my rating from 4 stars to 5."

Fantastic homemade bakery. The best Jarlsberg and Ham Croissant I've ever had. Great atmosphere. We just had to take some bakery goodies back to anchor for the trip. All right!

Cannot say enough good things about this place! Service was excellent as always, the food was fresh interesting, and the drip coffee was seriously stellar.. everything was so yummy we had to get more to go! Even if they didn't have the best staff/menu/coffee, I'd still go just to hang out for the ambience.. we love just chilling and admiring the local art, so this is a must everytime we visit Talkeetna!

Nice cafe in Talkeetna with plenty of healthier options. Came here for breakfast this past weekend. We ordered ahead online which you can do through their website--I recommend this especially during the busy summer! Everything was hot and ready for us when we arrived. I got the not-a-breakfast burrito which I didn't ask but based on the ingredients I'm pretty sure it's vegan. It was delicious and filling. My husband got the smoked salmon bagel and really enjoyed it. Good coffee too, and my husband got their house made rhubarb soda which was great. I've been here once before just to get bakery goods and those were all great too--especially their Kimmie cookies! Someday I'll come back and try...
