The Kobuk - Cafe in Anchorage - 504 W 5th Ave, USA

This is a cool little shop downtown that has all sorts of things. My favorite is the fireweed doughnuts!! They are a must if your in Anchorage!! Plus they have more cool stuff as well. The only bummer is that you have to look for parking, and pay to park as well before you can go in.

What a great store! We stumbled on it while walking in Anchorage after flying in from the lower 48. The coffee, tea, and pastries fill the shop with wonderful smells. They were offering taster cups of a signature tea blend that has cinnamon, clove, orange, and other spices, which was simply heavenly. Another highlight of the store is the polish pottery. The brilliant colors and striking patterns are very attractive. There is also the typical Alaskan souvenirs, my favorite being a bumper sticker that says "Don't be an Oosik" on it. There is outdoor seating to enjoy your coffee and pastry in the back. I recommend stopping in for a visit if you are in the area.

One of my favorite spots I've visited in Anchorage. Such a little treasure, full of unique gifts, treats, teas, and a great cafe with lots of fresh bakery goods. The donuts were very good! Highly recommend stopping in to browse and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.

So I heard so much about this place (reviews, YouTube, tour manager, fellow travelers). Thus, I can't leave Anchorage without visiting it. I was set to taste the famous Samovar glazed and Fireweed glazed donut. I was expecting something that tastes extraordinary, but it's just okay for me. Could it be that it was not freshly made? Like not fresh from the oven, I was expecting that it would be hot and tasty as what the other described. But nope, I was disappointed and couldn't really differentiate it from other best tasting donuts I had. There were 4 customers, including us, when we came. The cappuccino we ordered took a while to get served. I didn't order the famous Samovar tea. I was able to taste it, though (there's a free tea tasting within the store area). And I can say that Samovar tea is just as what they hype it for...perfectly blended if I may say. I love it and it is worth buying for your stash of tea or as gift.

Selection of fun gifts, some clothing items, and sweet treets. They have quite the selection of quality in-store made teas. At the back of the store is a bakery with freshly made pastries and donuts as well as soups and sandwiches. A few seats are available for dine in, and takeout is also available. The service has always been friendly, and they are eager to help you fulfill your shopping endeavor. Kobuk is always a must stop for me when I'm in Anchorage.

I literally come here at least once per week. The coffee shop in the back is the absolute best. They make the best donuts I have ever had and if Ryan made cinnamon rolls make sure to get one. Their house blended Samovar tea gets shipped around the world because it is so good. And the store itself has all sorts of really cool things.

Nice tourist shop. I bought a beautiful handmade cup. They had some old classic candies. They have a little bakery that has great donuts. Over all I liked the girls they were great. Had them laughing pretty good. Will I go back? Of course I will.

Best gift shop in Anchorage! They have the best donuts in downtown as well as the best tea. The owners and staff are phenomenal, extremely friendly and kind. Not to mention it's the oldest commercial building in Anchorage.
