Crema's Take

“Sleepy Dog is Eagle River's beloved institution and the town's original coffee shop, where nearly three decades of community gatherings have created an genuinely warm, homey atmosphere perfect for lingering with a book or catching up with friends. The espresso-forward coffee is genuinely strong—some say the best in town—and while their baked goods like muffins and bagels are reliably good, you'll want to skip the microwave-heated pastries and stick to their excellent steamers and hot chocolate instead. What really sets them apart is the cozy, quirky decor and a staff like Sheryl (here since day one) who make you feel like a regular the moment you walk in, whether you're taking the drive-thru or settling into one of their intimate alcoves to work or dream away an afternoon.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Drive-thru.

Such a cute little small town vibe! I absolutely love supporting local! I got the reindeer egg muffin sandwiche, with a sugar free Caramel spiced Chai latte, and part of a cinnamon roll. It all was so incredibly delicious! Highly recommend!

I would refrain from ordering the ham and cheese croissant- unless you like croissants cooked in the microwave. 😧🤨 The coffee is okay and the back room offers a quiet place to study or work.

Friendly helpful staff. We tried several pastries and a sandwich all were great. Lots of tables with cozy little alcove. The coffee is one of the best in town and the decor is really fun. Not too busy the service was fast and we found open tables.

Open for 29 years this coffee spot won’t disappoint. There is always laughter, regardless of if you choose the drive-thru or stop in to relax. Sheryl, who’s been working here since they opened and Bella both welcomed me (and everyone else who walked in) with conversion and big…
