Cafe 817

Says bakery on the front, and while it does have food, there are no baked goods. I got the chai tea, and it was a terrible tasting syrup from a jug mixed with milk. The concept of this place is nice, it reminds me of a cafe in old San Francisco, but not executed very well. And I'm sure the location next to the downtown bus station makes for an uneasy atmosphere, and limits enough business that this cafe can't quite hit the mark.

If you're waiting for a bus it's not bad, but otherwise not worth seeking out.

Music selection was on point! Great food at a great price. Definitely try the smoked Turkey sandwich.

This place is awesome. Super genuine decor, fantastic service, and most importantly, delicious food. Good price. Best way to eat eggs and drink beer in downtown.

This is a great place in downtown Anchorage for a delicious, hearty breakfast. It is small and homey. The two people who were working there were very efficient and FUN. Good food is cooked to order. If you're the impatient type or snooty, I would recommend you go elsewhere. If you want a place where you will feel welcome and leave well fed, then it's a good fit. We would definitely go back.

Stopped by this morning for a late breakfast. The bacon egg and cheese bagel was GREAT. Large bagel, very generous with the scrambled eggs and cheese, very crisp thick cut bacon. Had to wait a minute for it all to cool down. Great coffee. Clean menus, too, (one of my pet peeves).
