Alaska Coffee Roasting Company

This is where I first discovered the taste and smell of freshly roasted coffee. This is where I discovered the beverage made with espresso and steamed half & half seductively referred to as the breve. This is where I bought Ethiopian Harrar. This is where I drank mocha after mocha and wondered about my English professor’s taste in men. This is where I discovered Zap Mama. This is where I first fell in love with coffee. (Though I still have a fondness for the Folgers singles my mom used to send in my care packages.)

they have great flat bread here. we sometimes go on sunday mornings for coffee, breakfast, and just hanging out together.

I’ve been all over the US and nowhere have I found coffee as good as that at the Alaska Coffee Roasting Company in Fairbanks. People in Seattle think they have good coffee—they might as well be drinking Folgers (or Staryucks)!
