Snow City Café - Anchorage

The breakfast is always amazing. The staff are welcoming and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant to my family and friends, and I already recommend it to few strangers while I was in Austin, TX.

There was about an hour and a half wait so I joined the wait list, which is nice to have that feature. The place was packed and there were lots of people waiting both inside and outside. They have lots of tables which leads one to think about how good the food can actually be or what quality will it be when they are moving that much food through so many tables. It was definitely not worth the wait. The eggs benedict were pretty standard, nothing special. Exactly how eggs benedict are supposed to be with poached eggs, Canadian bacon, on an English muffin, with hollandaise sauce. The sauce was ok, a little broken. The hash browns were extremely salty, almost inedible. Also had a biscuit, which did seem homemade. It was nicely soft and buttery on the inside and brown and crispy on the outside. However, the jam and jelly options were just packets.

Long wait with no reservations. Food is good and staff is also good. Would like to be able to reserve a table!

My wife and I were in town for a vacation. We went here for breakfast, and we lucked out because they sat a table for two quicker than bigger parties. I had their crabcake benedict (I can 't remember the name of the dish), my wife had their loaded hashbrowns. During this visit was my first time having a sludge cup (drip coffee with a double shot of espresso), I 've always heard it described as a black eye. I really like potatoes, especially hashbrowns (even the frozen ones) and I got to say that their fresh hashbrowns were thick and crispy, probably some of the best hash browns I 've ever had. Their food came out really quick, and their coffee was good. They also have a bunch of hot sauce options. It was a really heavy breakfast, also because I helped my wife finish her dish, but it was a good way to start the day.

This is a very popular brunch spot in downtown Anchorage. We initially put our name down via the Yelp waitlist but managed to grab bar seating (first-come-first-served) before our estimated wait time. We got the polar bear bfast with blueberry pancakes and tundra scramble. We also got the cinnamon roll but that never came out. It wasn't an issue for us because we were too full by the end of the meal. Overall, the food and service were good, but it felt like any other brunch experience you could get elsewhere.
