Expensive for the quality. Holiday convenience stores apple and blueberry fritters come in at a higher level and at 1/4 the price.

We were so looking forward to the cinnamon rolls ($5) for dessert after supper that night (about 3 hours after purchase and in the container they sold it to us in). it's basically just bread with little bit of cinnamon very little icing and dry needing lots of melted butter.

I'm trying not to be harsh but it was really $20 that we didn't have and we are trying to treat ourselves for the weekend. I wish we would have stopped at the grocery store on the way home.

An Alaskan native told me about this bakery at the Alyeska entrance, clustered in with other shops & a Tesoro gas station. They serve coffee and lots of sweets including donuts & giant, palm spread size cookies. I bought a peanut butter chocolate chip & plain chocolate chip cookies. Friendly staff.

Oh my god this little spot is a must stop! I had a delicious maple bar doughnut and chai, and wish I had enough to get the cinnamon roll too! They’re massive! Great service and delicious food and yummy drinks!

Really good baked goods and apple fritters. It’s right on the corner of the Alyeska Highway and the Seward Highway and is on the Glacier Valley Transit bus route that runs through Girdwood. The staff was very friendly! They are open all day every day, whereas many other places in the area are closed on Monday and Tuesday.

We were in town and craving something sweet…googled “dessert” and this place came up and was open at 7pm. Bonus points for being open everyday and later in the evening. The case wasn’t full since the items are baked fresh but we all found something to suit our cravings. Our group ordered a cinnamon roll, blueberry muffin, brownie, apple strudel and baklava. All of the items are oversized and delicious. We now want to swing by again before we leave in order to try something fresh in the morning and with a specialty coffee since they had a large menu for that as well. The woman running the front was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you are staying in Alyeska or even passing through and needing a treat.

This place is highway robbery. $9.50 for a spinach feta pastry that didn't even taste good. Even Starbucks pastries are a bargain compared to these prices. Do not give them your money. The people were nice, but that's only because I just paid $16 for a coffee and pastry!

The baked goods are atrocious, honestly. I have tried many items while passing through to Seward and every bakery item I have tried is awful. The scones, brownies, cinnamon rolls, and donuts are basically inedible, I don’t know why I’ve given them so many chances, I guess I just keep hoping they can do at least ONE thing right. Well, I was mistaken, they cannot do even one thing right, sorry. And on top of that everything costs an arm and a leg. Even the coffee is astronomical, my 20 ounce DRIP COFFEE with a shot of espresso was just under $7.00. Oh, and the bugs in the pastry case today was the last straw, I finally learned my lesson and got just the coffee, although if I’d known how expensive it was (the price wasn’t listed accurately so don’t trust the menu) I’d have just waited for Anchorage. There were flies and even some mosquitos landing on the baked goods, it was truly grotesque. Absolutely unsanitary, you’re better off bypassing altogether and waiting till you get to another town entirely, truly. Even though Anchorage is still a 45 minute drive from this place, I PROMISE you will be better off holding out until then. That was the last time I’ll ever give this place my business.

Overpriced. Not very good. I’d be happy to pay 9.50 for a feta spinach croissant in a tourist town if it was actually good. It was basically raw inside and not filled with much- many bites of gooey dough with no filling. Definitely not ever going again or recommending. I gave it two stars because the coffee was fine and doughnut was edible.

OVERPRICED DOUGH/ tourist trap. This place used to be good but the donut was awful with barely any glaze probably the worst I ever had and the cookies were terrible as well. Barely any chocolate and the snickerdoodle was basic with very little cinnamon or sugar tasted like a bland dough cookie with a little bit of sugar. Also for $40+ for a few donuts and cookies what?? Used to go here 4 years ago and it was completely different. Also the lady rudely rushed us to order, definitely won’t be going back and I don’t recommend this place to anyone. Fix your food especially if you are going to price gouge NOT COOL! Sad to see a great place turn to waste, either a new owner or bad management.
