Love this coffee shop in the back of the bookstore. Fresh and homemade treats, sandwiches grenade and ready to grab and go. Too bad I missed the last cookie the 2nd time I was there. But there was pie, delicious chai, and gorgeous benches. And a famous author....lol!!

Stopped in the evening while in Sitka on NCL’s Jewel. What a great little spot. The staff is lovely. My snickerdoodle was yummy. I had a white chocolate peppermint mocha and my bf had a cup of coffee and a brownie. We were both very pleased. Loved this little town!

O M G! Best cookies in the universe. They also have coffee, tea, breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls, and sandwiches. There are a few tables if you want to eat there. They sell out, so don’t waste time! There is a great bookstore attached.
