The Bean Barn Espresso — Restaurant in Alaska

The best coffee shop on Earth.

They don't just have your run of the mill coffee shop food like ham and cheese croissants and muffins. Well, they do have those too but everything is better there. They make their own muffins for example and have unique delicious flavors. They also have rotating lunch specials like the roast beef sandwich, soups, and more. Their food is soooo good. Really great breakfast or lunch option in the vine/pittman/meadow lakes area. Their chicken salad sandwich on croissant bread is fantastic too. Also, you can add their homemade aioli on any of their breakfast sandwiches.

I haven't even covered their coffee yet. They just do everything so good. Their bean barn cold brew is delicious. They have weekly coffee specials and always have unique flavors not offered at your standard coffee shop.

For energy drink lovers, they have delicious redbull italian sodas (also have unique flavors, they use better quality syrup) and their new plant based monin energy concentrate is really good too.

Oh yeah and their baked goods are homemade and delicious.

This place is amazing, super friendly...

Delicious drinks: redbull italian sodas, super high quality delicious coffees, and monin energy drinks

Delicious food: variety of breakfast sandwiches (GET THE AIOLI), good bread options like everything bagel and croissant bread. They have lunch sandwiches too! The chicken salad sandwich is almost always on the menu and is so good. Then they have rotating lunch specials, the roast beef sandwich is my favorite. They have soup sometimes too.

Sweet treats: amazing baked goods, especially the muffins.

Service: super friendly and quick service.

So happy I live near Bean Barn :) Even if I didn't I would go out of my way to get them. A caliber above your average local coffee shop--their drinks taste better and their food is miles and miles ahead of any other coffee shop I've had.

Tourists: stop here for breakfast or lunch on your way driving up to Fairbanks, Talkeetna, or Denali! Alaska coffee shops are everywhere...but this one is the best...

I stopped by The Bean Barn for the first time this morning and was blown away! The lady at the window was super friendly and helped me choose from their menu. I tried the biscuits and gravy, which were delicious, and a dirty chai latte that was still hot when I got to work. I loved that their food options on the menu are homemade. I'll definitely be back to try more of their unique items. If you're in the area, stop by - you won't be...
