Jitters... Where Coffee Is An Art — Restaurant in Alaska

I’ve been a Jitters customer since the late 90’s and in my 20 years supporting this locally owned business I have never been disappointed. I’ve raised my children on their toasted marshmallow steamers and their lemon cookies and banana bread are guilty pleasures. What I love most is that this is truly a community gathering place. You are bound to run into someone you know or make a new friend if you so much as smile. They host art openings, concerts and have a conference room in the back for meetings, parties or events. The large fireplace is a cozy spot to plant yourself in front of in the winter, in the summer they have tables out front. And on days when you don’t have time to park and walk in, their drive-thru fits the bill. The have games, WiFi and plenty of tables making it a great location for work or study as well. With few hang out options for teens in Eagle River, it is wonderful to know that they are welcome here as well.

Update Summer 2020 - Iced everything is worth visiting their drive-thru even on the hottest of days. Thanks for the lemonade soda and iced green tea Maddie...delicious!

Update Fall 2020 - They have Egg Nog (because, don’t let anyone know I said this, Pumpkin Spice isn’t for everyone). They also have a special this week called the Funny Bunny. I gave it a try and it was very yummy! Maddie took care of me again...we talked about binge watching Criminal Minds and registering to vote (which everyone should do) in my 4 minutes there...she has customer engagement down!

Update Summer 2021: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread or Berry Scones??? Not a choice easy to make so early in the morning! Thursday’s are $3 12 ounce drinks...of course I can’t seem to function at that size but a great deal if you can. As always, amazing folks who make getting coffee even more pleasurable.

Update Spring 2022: I bought my husband and son a gluten free banana chocolate muffin and lemon raspberry scone. I hope the new baker is going to create a delicious option for plant based folks. Looking forward to seeing what new menu items get added!

Update Summer 2024: How, after all these years of great coffee at Jitters, Kinzie made me the best coffee I’ve ever had here I am not sure. Perfecting perfection is a great way to...

This is a review of Jitters and using DoorDash. DoorDash is not affiliated with Jitters and it’s just a delivery service. I order my usual items: a coffee, bagel, and some yogurt from Jitters and I’ve been consuming their products for years. I really enjoy their food, their drinks are sublime, and they’re really great people. Today, I order from DoorDash and the dasher decided to put that delicious food by my neighbor’s lawn sprinkler and steal my coffee. So not only am I upset that the dasher did this, but DoorDash blamed it on Jitters. I’m sorry that’s not their fault and I’ll testify to it. To anyone that orders here, you will enjoy the atmosphere and the food, but go in person. It’s not worth the headache, the politics, and lies with DoorDash.

Thank you to Jitters, the staff, and the management team for continuing to make a good product and have a wonderful place to hang-out...

KBC is good here so not worth the abuse from the male barista in the drive thru. First incident with the rude guy was when i paid for 4 shots and very clearly only seen hin put in one double and when he handed it to me i told him but then he lied and pointed at the 2 empty double shots and counted to 4, who wants to get ripped off come on now. Second time he decided to use my last $2 on jitters card and charged my debit $3 and when i said wasnt it against policy to charge less than $5, super rude he said i did you a favor your welcome. Last incident was when i went thru ,got only a double shot so i wouldnt get ripped off again, but didnt tip this time for obvious reason and as i was driving away he screamed out like he wanted to fight youre welcome. Done dealing with that, patron small mom&pop coffee shops. He usually works afternoons, not...
