"I ordered an almond roca iced latte - this was an amazing break from the Starbucks coffee on our cruise ship. My husband ordered the cookie butter hot latte. The employee was super friendly. The coffee shop was small, but had such a cute vibe."

"After watching The Great Lumberjack Show we decided to sit, sip and enjoy the weather local grounds was a great place to do this. Ordered the Iced mocha and blended lemonade. Shared the mocha with my partner, I thought it was just me but we both agreed that it was way too sweet! Sister-in-law shared the lemonade with her hubby – they both seemed to enjoy it. The weather was absolutely beautiful, warmer than usual… So when I walked upstairs to use the restroom I was surprised they had more seating upstairs! Unfortunately, heat rises and it was quite warm upstairs, probably why no one was up there, the view was great tho!"

"What probably started out as a coffee shop has turned into our favorite lunch spot. Not only is the food delicious and fresh, they get bonus points for being one of the only food restaurants this far out north."

"I LOVE this place. Both their drive thru stand and the store front Cafe. They make great drinks and great food either to go or stay and eat. Great atmosphere. Always smiles on people's faces and upbeat. They do get busy, but still don't have overly long wait times. Great choices for downtown to grab a bite and coffee. Cold brew is my favorite!"

"We had the best most delicious wraps. Unfortunately the young people behind the counter were more interested in goofing around with each other than dealing with is at the counter. Then when the wraps came out they were thrown on the counter as the young man walked away. Hopefully they keep up with the great food and put some training into the front of house staff."

"Update: I grabbed a pumpkin butter cold brew this morning and it was delightful! Thank you. I love grabbing my daily coffee from these mama-preneurs. I love the monthly house whipped cream flavors! Thank you for bringing something different to the local coffee scene!"

"A great place to start your morning! They have a variety of coffees and food items… literally something for everyone. There is a laid back atmosphere which makes it a good place to relax and enjoy your morning brew or take it to go and meander the town. The inside of the shop is spacious enough so you are not elbow to elbow with other customers. An added bonus: clean bathrooms upstairs. (Apparently bathrooms are not located everywhere in Ketchikan ) "

"AMAZING COFFEE HUCKLEBERRY LATTE WAS DIVINE! With that said BEWARE THIS IS A DRIVE THRU LOCATION. Staff was kind and allowed me to walk on up to the window to order though. The scones were not really scones in my opinion, they tasted like soft muffin tops. Worth the visit to get your caffeine boost"
