"I’ve been coming to Talkeetna since 2008, and I’ve been to The Flying Squirrel about 4-5 times and each time I go, it takes me years to go back, kind of like I hear about women getting pregnant after the memory of child birth wears off!??The bakery goods are always yummy and the items you order are usually pretty good if they get the order right.However, I saw a few comments in other reviews of good service which blows my mind…this, along with the high prices is why don’t come often. We have a cabin in Talkeetna and I come 5-6 times a summer and yet I’ve been 4-5 times since 2008!This time it was about 10:30am and I we were starting a hike late so I thought it wouldn’t be busy so we would be in and out quick! Not so fast my friend! We had one couple in line in front of us who finished ordering about 30 seconds after we got there. While the person who took their order started working the coffee machine, it took her or anyone else in the kitchen 8 minutes to even acknowledge we were at the counter, which was why I hesitated to go back! In all, over 30 minutes to get a few bakery items and a breakfast sandwich. Meanwhile 3-4 other ladies milling around in the kitchen doing something, some of the time couldn’t be bothered with customer service while the soul person working the counter is up to all kinds of gyrations on the coffee machine and customers just stand in line like Russians in the ‘80’s waiting for bread, and stand, and stand, and stand…it might be 5 years before I go back again, and I’ll regret it again. At least the service is consistent since I first visited in about 2008 or 2010? I liked the comment: capitalists pricing and a Marxist experience! Nailed it with far fewer words.My hope is that management will be responsive to my review and create a much more efficient customer service experience. I’ll be back late August to try the Flying Squirrel again and if they respond I would love to update my review!!"
