Super friendly with great food and coffee. Happy that we saw this bakery and had the time to stop by and get some yummies. Walk here when you get off the boat, it’s worth the trip.

It is a cool place for the whole family, there are some cut out things where you stick your head through and take pictures. Friendly people, service with a smile and a "How are you doing today?" And they actually care that you are enjoying yourself and the food they prepare, which is delicious!!! Every bag has a hand drawn character of some kind that was drawn that day, just to make you smile. It's a fabulous place to sit at one of the tables out front and just people watch or chat with others.

Local favorite! I love the chocolate covered coffee bean I get when I order a chi latte. Great place to get your cinnamon roll fix and their herb bread is heavenly. Hang around long enough and your heart and spirit will be blessed too!

We went here several times while in NakNek area. I had a few lattes there which were consistently good. One day we stopped in for lunch and had a 3 meat sandwich which was really good and at a fair price for the area. When one morning I had one of their cinnamon rolls I was truly impressed. First I looked at it and was overwhelmed by the size, but since I was splitting it with my brother it turn out perfect. Next the thing was covered with an icing and I am not a fan of really sweet, but fortunately the icing turned out to be not overly sweet. Then when I tasted it I was sold OMG - it was delightful. I have never had one like this before and only wish they sold them somewhere I am more likely to go back to. Also of note is the staff here is very friendly and accommodating. I was pleased with the service prices and quality here and would love to go back some time. Only down side of the place is there is really only outside seating and given the wonderful Alaska weather it is hit and miss when you can sit out and eat.

Best snickerdoodles in the country! This is by far one of the top coffee shops in the world. Family that owns it is spectacular! I highly recommend visiting this coffee shop if you go to Naknek, AK Bristol Bay

A family owned and operated coffee shop is the epitome of Naknek spirit. From the moment that you step up to their window, you feel the honest to goodness love that exudes from Jesse and the whole clan. Esset will usually be found making the homemade rolls that serve as the base for their homemade sandwiches or ginarmous cinnamon rolls. Anything you get here is guaranteed to be delicious.
