Polar Espresso
411 W 1st Ave, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“This cozy Anchorage spot has mastered the art of the perfect pre-journey coffee stop, with a genuinely welcoming staff who seem to remember that travelers need both excellent espresso and a reason to smile before a long ride. Their cappuccinos are the real deal, and the breakfast burritos and pastry case give you plenty of reasons to linger a few extra minutes over your drink. It's the kind of local place that feels like a well-kept secret—efficient and unpretentious, but clearly cared for by people who take both their coffee and their customers seriously.”

Staff were amazing, so happy to get a good coffee before a long train ride.
A super convenient little local place to stop for coffee and a bite to eat in the morning, particularly if you have a train to catch! They have a good selection of muffins and pastries and a variety of other breakfast items, along with all the classic coffee drinks. The coffee is top notch, and service is quick and friendly.
Excellent cappuccino and ham and cheese croissant. Pleasant staff and great service. Would definitely recommend!
Great coffee spot before you hop on a train! Really yummy breakfast burritos and lattes.
