Spenard Grinds
3208 Spenard Rd, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“Spenard Grinds is a genuine neighborhood gem where the baristas consistently nail both classic espresso drinks and creative matcha lattes, while their breakfast burritos and sandwiches have earned serious loyalty from families grabbing quick bites before tournaments or just stopping by on the regular. The friendly staff and welcoming vibe make it the kind of place where regulars feel at home, and where you can trust that whoever's behind the counter will make your coffee exactly right—even if you're particular about it like one reviewer's husband.”

This is my favorite spot to stop on this side of town. The drinks are always good and those breakfast burritos are amazing!!! I've seen a couple different baristas working there and it's always a pleasant experience with each of them.
It was great. Brought the coffee home and my husband loved it and he is picky about his coffee. My matcha latte was also great! Got a cookie for my daughter and her eyes got large and excited when she saw the size. Definitely coming back!
My family and I were headed to a tournament and needed to grab a quick breakfast... I searched breakfast sandwiches near me and found Spenard Grinds. I instantly appreciated the option to order online - I scanned the menu, and my family decided on a breakfast burrito and some croissant ham & cheese sandwiches. Order was placed....smooth and easy to use ordering system. Feedback on the food - breakfast burrito was OK. Size wise - excellent. However, the tots were a bit dried and crumbly, eggs were eh, and I didn't see much bacon, but the awesome sauce was....AWESOME. The wrapper stuck to the tortilla and made it difficult to peel off....the burrito didn't get finished. The croissant sandwiches were warmed up... a bit too long. They were HOT. After cooling they were on point. I'm thinking they are the Costco croissants, which are YUM! Coffee beverage was perfect. Driving up to the location- no line. Mind you, it was an early Sunday morning. The woman working was kind, friendly and provided great service. Thank you for being available and convenient today =)
On multiple occasions I’ve been the only car there and the barista completely ignores me. No acknowledgment that I’m there, nothing, for a couple minutes. Today I drove up, was ignored for a good minute, and then when another vehicle pulled up to the other window, she ignored both of us for a bit, and then gets them first, even though I was obviously the car there. All of the other people that work there are amazing, which is the only reason I kept coming back but this one’s poor customer service is it. I’m not going back. It’s a bummer because the location was perfect and the coffee is good. Learn some basic customer service etiquette.
Love this new coffee shop gem right in the heart of Spenard! The girls are really friendly and make consistently good drinks. They have a lot of great food options as well. Highly recommend!
