Espresso Expressions
212 W 38th St, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“This Anchorage institution has built genuine loyalty around generously stuffed breakfast burritos that customers rave about with real passion, especially their surprisingly adventurous reindeer sausage version that's available all day. Beyond the stellar handheld food, they've earned trust through consistency—keeping prices stable for years while the owners maintain a warm, courteous presence that makes families and commuters feel genuinely welcomed. Their espresso drinks hold their own too, with creative offerings like the Mexi mocha that suggest there's more to explore beyond the iconic breakfast menu.”

They have a whole loaded menu so I'll hold off on my 5th star until I have some more of their menu. But their breakfast burrito was really good and the reviews are true. I had the steak breakfast burrito, my partner had the reindeer sausage breakfast burrito. My burrito wasn't hot, but warm enough. I assumed that the sour cream and salsa they used just cooled everything off. But the flavor was really good, and definitely will linger in your mind well after eating it. The reindeer sausage was freshly cooked and hot. It also had a spicer salsa than the steak. I preferred they one much over my steak, but I still can't get them out my head, and definitely will stop by again. Service was quick and easily accessible with a drive thru. They had coffees, and I had an expressions Jr. I like most coffees, so I won't give my opinion on that other than it was drinkable, not hot but warm, but well made. Definitely recommend! Stop by and get you one!
Best breakfast burrito's in town. Takes a little bit for food to be ready but is 100% worth it as it is made fresh to order.
Great place to get a quick bite to go. Their breakfast burrito are awesome 👌 This place still has the same price as it did 5 years ago. The owners are really kind and very courteous.
Wildly and surprisingly delicious - the reindeer burrito was no joke eggceptional (and is served all day long). The Mexi mocha was delightful - better than I anticipated and in between my mom and my levels of sweetness! This is a mainly drive-through establishment, but there is an outdoor seating area by the large open field in between the roadways. I walked over from the offices nearby and there was no side eye for the pedestrian approach. Shan was at the window taking orders and pressing espressos, and a delightful conversationalist while waiting the short time for food. I plan to go again!
Not much of a coffee guy, but just wanted to say this place has one of the BEST breakfast burritos in Anchrorage. And I don't even like breakfast burritos! Get the Reindeer Sausage breakfast burrito and you won't regret it. So good!!! Going to be my go to spot for breakfast now.
