Chugach Mountain Roasters

Chugach Mountain Roasters is on Spenard Road in Anchorage, across from Lake Hood, so you can watch float planes from the patio. It's small and minimal inside. Their coffee is also at partner shops in Girdwood and Seward.

Try the Colombia Gesha pour-over, nutty oat latte or iced cinnamon maple macchiato. Beans include Kenya Murarandia and the Brown and Tan blend. They sell drip bags and single-origin instant.
