Koala Bean
188 W Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“Koala Bean is an Anchorage institution that goes far beyond coffee, serving as a genuine community gathering space where the staff truly cares about their neighbors. Beyond their traditional espresso drinks, they're known for preparing satisfying, made-to-order breakfasts and even offering free meals to folks experiencing homelessness, creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone belongs. This is the kind of place where locals linger over their cup, knowing their presence supports something bigger than themselves.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu.
