Review from Aaron E.

So I went to a family reunion up in Sitka and was extremely distraught to find out there were no Starbucks. Le Sigh.
Thankfully, there were a few more than decent alternatives to chose from. There was a division among my family as to whether this establishment or Highliner was the best. I personally would say this one was. It's located in a book store in "downtown" Sitka. It can get packed due to all the tourists from cruise ships but the wait isn't that long. Their pastries were yummy... I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.
Their coffee was rich, flavorful and really fresh tasting. Their baristas know what they're doing. I deduct a star because they don't have "iced" cups... they just put iced drinks in a normal cup.... irritating... -

Ok, so I know two people in the cruise industry who love this place. My Fella and I came in because it seemed like a nice, warm and inviting place to get coffee and a bite to eat...not so much. I quickly mentioned knowing people who love this place and was met with a chilly response, so I mentioned that my family is from Sitka knowing that many residents have a bit of disdain for tourists...chilly again. So I gave up.
On the upside, the coffee was great, just don't expect warmth when your ordering. -

We absolutely love this place. It's a great, funky, characterful little, rather paradigmatic "coffee house" with great decor and feel, and friendly staff. It also has great coffee and great savory and sweet foods at incredibly low prices. The same meal at a similar place in our area would have costs us close to twice as much, and the quality was simply superb, executed very well. It's also attached to Harbor Books, a great local bookstore.
