This place has very delicious food. The best part is all the options, including vegan and gluten free choices! The vegan burrito I got had good flavor and the salsa was a good add to it. My dad got the omelette and said it was really good as well. Definitely the place to go for breakfast! Can’t wait to try lunch here sometime!

I loved this place. I was a little skeptical when I visited this place but, the food was amazing, my husband and I visited this place for breakfast on our wedding anniversary. We started our day with yummy breakfast. There are a lot of vegetarian options too. We came for vacation to Alaska and had a very good start. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast.

Came by this place for Breaskfast. I am new to Alaska and we came here because of the good reviews. First impressions were great, had no problem ordering our food. Menu is easy to read as they have it on the wall. One suggestion would be a hair nets for the guys handling the food in the back. Either than that, the stuff was great and the food was good. Recommend.Ordered: Farmers StarterWaiting time: 15

A bit unorthodox but thats why its a great place to eat/visit. What looks like a small stop in a strip mall is a restaraunt you can walk in the front and out the back to the patio for some sun. Order at the horseshoe style cash registers and sample a bit of everything or just order one of their baked goods, a coffee, and enjoy the artwork sprawled along the walls, all of which are for sale.

Customer service was great and super nice to my two kids and spoke directly to them like the little humans they are. Food was delicious and fresh!!

Their food is so great, but the wait time is inversely proportional. You have to make sure you’ve got a block of time saved off if you plan to dine-in here, especially with the covid reduced seating. Vegan-friendly, GF-friendly; lots of options here. Nothing on the menu will disappoint you.

They have to be one of the best gluten free, paleo and vegan restaurants I’ve been to...anywhere. They started small and worked their way into their current space over many years. Took their time to perfect their brand and it really worked out for those of us who appreciate a varied menu. In non-Covid times the place is a constant bustle of folks dining in and those just stopping by for their take out sandwiches, salads, coffee and baked goods. I’ve never had bad service there, everyone is always extremely friendly. Their portions are hearty and everything is delicious. They can be busy, even during these pick-up-only times...like other popular restaurants in Anchorage, best to either call well ahead or opt for the pre-packaged options if you are in a hurry.

Great for vegans and vegetarians, theres options for everyone. I recommend the vegan burrito if youre in rush and still want a nutritious meal, its a big portion (I couldnt finish it yet). Their drinks and pancakes are great too!

Ordered the avocado toast. I dont know how they get away with charging $12 for a single slice of bread with avocado, bean spouts, and thin slice of orange. Not impressed.

The food was expensive and I wasnt super impressed. Bought an iced latte with honey and didnt get what I paid for because they were out of honey. Cookies werent great and I wasnt super impressed with the reindeer Sausage here.

Got the Mexican Benedict and it was by far the best meal Ive had while in Alaska. The Follow Your Heart smoothie paired well and was very tasty. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff.

Reindeer omelette was my fav! 🤤🦌Delicioso el omelette de reno!

Middle Way has always been a good experience. The menu is creative, healthy, and fresh. The staff is great. Last visit I ordered the multi grain blueberry banana pancakes and huevos rancheros.

Best potatoes in Anchorage. Loved the food and didnt need to pay Alaska prices. A must visit if you like going out to breakfast. Only downside was the lack of staff so waits were long.

Sunday morning called ahead to order breakfast for pickup. We ordered the Classic Benedict and Kids Bumbleberry French Toast. We love Middleway, the spices on the breakfast potatoes are perfect and the berry syrup is to die for! The Chocolate Beet cake is my favorite cake, also the Snickerdoodle Sandwich cookies are sooo decadent! Nice portions, high quality ingredients, excellent customer service, wonderful menu with loads of options, and we love that it is a local spot!

Came here for lunch and wanted a burger. Liked the toppings for the coyote burger but didnt want a lentil patty. Asked the cashier to sub it with a beef patty. I would pay extra. She said it is beef. I thought to myself thats odd, but assumed she knew. When my burger came out, sure enough it was a lentil patty. I hate to be that kind of person, but I had explicitly asked for beef. I think maybe the cashier must not know the menu. I told the women who brought my order, the runner, that I had asked for a beef patty. She walked away without saying anything. I sat for awhile wondering if she was going to correct it, or not. Just as I began to get up to go ask the cashier for a refund, after 20 minutes of waiting and not knowing--the women brought out my order with the beef patty. That burger was terrible too, sad to say it but its true. It was rubbery and tasted freezer burnt. Will never be back. Bummer, cause this place used to be on my list of favs.

For the cost you get so much delicious food. There is great customer service and the espresso is amazing. I love this place now and I thinks its the best place for breakfast they serve it all day too!

So good! I love your smoothies! And of course everything else. The French toast and the best avocado melt sandwich are my favorites. Keep up the great work guys.

! Fantastic customer service and the food. They had plenty of vegans and meat-eater choices. The ladies who were helping us with our orders today have been so kind and supportive. Although we are here in Alaska we certainly want to come here. Thank you!

The breakfast fare here was excellent. Got a fantastic omelet filled with a variety of tasty and fresh ingredients. Definitely recommend.

It doesnt look like much from the street, but its really big and has a cute outdoor area for enjoying the beautiful weather we had while in Anchorage. Portions were MASSIVE. You can absolutely share anything on the menu.

Great breakfast and lunch options. Quite a few vegan dishes, too.

Great variety of food and drinks for people with food allergies, vegans, and other healthy conscious people. Also, a good place for for people who like meats and hardy meals.

Great food thats worth the wait. Getting a table during busy times can be tough but the food makes it worthwhile

This place is pretty good. Would say you have to go later in the day for it to be a bit peaceful. And get your order quicker. They have a nice huge breakfast and lunch menu. The coffee is always good and the juices and smoothies are always a plus. I got the Mexican Benedict and it was pretty huge. Theres just enough spice and flavor.

I love this place. There are so many great options to choose from. They have breakfast, lunch, smoothies, coffee, desserts, and vegan/gluten-free options. Everyone is always friendly and service is generally prompt. Getting a table can sometimes be a bit difficult during peak hours, so plan accordingly. I always enjoy their lattes and smoothies, especially if Im in a hurry and just need a quick bite. Of course get here before 1pm to enjoy their delicious breakfast menu.

Updating from 5 stars to 2. In the past year the service has gone from pretty good to Olympic-level awful. Staff is inconsiderate and wait times for food are never even remotely accurate (if youre told 30 minutes, that means at least an hour). The only redeeming quality is the food is consistently good.

Great gluten free food and they wrapped my sandwich in foil for my hike like I asked so that was appreciated.

Stood waiting for our to go order for 25 minutes. Only ordered 2 burgers. Weren’t mad the way we wanted them and had to ask for our food that had been sitting on the warmer for over 15 minutes. Not coming her ever again for overpriced lack of service.

Lovely ambiance, clearly a popular place, super busy. In town to visit family and stopped by to grab a bite. Ordered to-go and waited in the public space for fifty minutes or so. Asked about the art (turns out it goes down at the end of the month and they dont ship it, so no joy there), stood around for another ten or so (bought a can of diet coke). Eventually I walked up to the counter, and lo and behold, its in the cooler. I was most surprised by the fact that although i gave them the cell number they required to text me was never used, in addition to the fact my name was never spoken aloud. Anyway, I ate my lukewarm parfait and mildly warm juice. I also stole a spoon.

This is one of the only places in town where you can get a healthy lunch so I keep coming back but I usually have a pretty bad experience with service so today will probably be my last. They have a ton of employees but their systems need work because everyone just seems to wander in circles around one another and food takes forever to come out. There are better places to eat where the employees seem to enjoy their job and enjoy customer service.

They have the best ever avocado melt please do yourself a huge favor and order one with a summer breeze smoothie sit outside with the sunshine and enjoy

We ordered two breakfast burritos and an omelette with sourdough toast. After a 50 minute wait we got the omelette with wheat toast (not sourdough) and only one burrito. We waited for another 15 minutes before going to the counter to ask what happened and the lady said they must have lost the ticket but will put the order right in. We then waited another 40 minutes and still no other burrito. Went back to the counter and the lady was very rude and brushed us off even after we said we’ve been waiting for and hour and 45 minutes. We ended up just walking out with one of us still on an empty stomach because they lost the burrito order. Twice. Food was good, but the 50+ minute wait time combined with the staff just loosing orders and being very rude is really just not okay.

Ordered vegan and gluten free food to-go after waiting 20mins in line and they mentioned they were out of avalanche burgers, so we went with the lentil burgers and some other stuff. People who ordered after us got their orders and for us after 1hr they called to let us know that they are now out of lentil burgers and can now substitute it with avalanche burger option, which is as confusing and time-consuming as it gets, so over all we spent 2hrs at this place (12.16pm ordered food and came out with the to-go at 2.08pm). People who ordered before us were told they lost the order ticket in the kitchen, so they left after waiting hr plus. They need more staff and more coordination to sustain the demand and craze for this place. The burger tasted good but the price, time and confusion wasnt justified.

We Sat outside. It was nice. Chilled at one point due to a strong breeze but the food was good

Warm and welcoming family-friendly atmosphere. Fantastic options based on awareness of specific dietary needs and preferences. Highly recommend for those with food allergies in particular. Clean space with cautious staff.

Good food, friendly staff. You may have to wait a minute for your food because they’re busy, But it’s delicious and well worth it

Delicious food. Great vegan options. Tons of drinks, tea, smoothies and juice. Staff are extremely nice and environmentally conscious

The unicorn bowl was very delicious, it was very nice that they had a rice-free bowl option. The gluten free / vegan Snickerdoodle cupcake is still dry and crumbly but the other two gluten free / vegan cupcakes were very good!

Food was okay, not served as warm as we would like. Witnessed them going to tables asking for customers to pay for small extras that the cashier missed inputting, including our gluten-free toast.Im not a restaurant professional, but it is very tacky to request people to do that... train your cashier better... asking for $.75 for an extra salsa cup... borderline rude.

Loved the food. It was about a 30 minute wait (Sunday lunch time) but it was worth it he food was good and we loved having the gluten free and vegan options for those that needed it.

One of my favorite spots for vegan food in Anchorage. I have been a customer for years despite the exorbitant prices, but recently have found the cashiers to be overtly rude, bordering on hostile. I placed an entire order yesterday, only to have a surly employee glare at me and say, “I didn’t hear a WORD you said.” When I asked for a bag for my leftovers, I thought she was going to slap me. She handed over a small pastry bag for half a burrito. Sadly the food is not really worth the potential for hassle and humiliation of ordering it.

I ordered a tuna melt (for a hefty $17.50) and they said it would take 15-20 minutes, which seems unusually long for a sandwich. The sandwich took 45 minutes to make and then I asked for a full refund which they kindly gave me. The sandwich was awesome but it was a totally chaotic experience - dont think I will come back here after that experience.

Good:- wide, wide variety of food including lunch and all-day breakfast; savory, sweet, and so many options to please all diets- chic interior with good vibes- friendly service- easy in and out locationBad:- nothing bad to report on my visitThis was the only restaurant I visited a second time on my first trip to the state. Really great cafe!

The atmosphere is relaxing. The food is amazing! Each bite has a unique flavor. The salsa is unnecessary with the the delicious blue corn chips. Oh, and you must try the coffee!

Worst customer service! Everything about this place is disorganized. They obviously have untrained children working who do not care about their jobs. Every time I call I am left on hold but they don’t actually put me on hold so I can hear all the goings on in the restaurant. They never say how long the food will take or give you any information whatsoever. I’m am greatly disappointed.

Not worth the price you pay. Long wait. Staff isn’t trained and they are stressed out. I’ve given this place five tries already, and everytime I either receive a cold coffee or soggy bread sandwiches. If you are coming here because you are a vegetarian I highly recommend trying Namaste Shangrila, Royal Thai, or Turkish Delight. Also try Fireisland rustic bake shop if your looking for really good bakery items. Sushi Sushi also has really good vegetarian rolls and service is amazing. Your welcome.

I am all for small business as I own one, but was refused service yesterday because I did not want to be entered into your computer system. I came in wearing a mask, was going to buy take out and have been double vaccinated. I looked around and everyone in the restaurant was not wearing a mask. Seriously? You have lost my business for good and I will make sure to spread the word. The only reason you got a one star is because they did not offer a zero star.

Awesome organic eats. Vegetarian sandwich and tofu melt was great

Went here for vegan food, wish I didnt. Im not a picky eater, but these were some of the saddest dishes Ive ever tried. Please dont invite your non-vegan friends here to try vegan food, theyll get a wrong impression. We ordered two things: Unicorn Bowl - can barely taste anything but onions and cilantro; beans and cauliflower rice are otherwise tasteless. Vegan BBQ Burger - the patty is a mix of dry and compressed veggies with some spices; this is as far as you can get from a proper juicy burger one expects.

I have two favorite salads in Anchorage, one of them is here at Middle Way Cafe- the planeta azul salad w balsamic. 4 stars out of 5 only because sometimes the salad comes out in two minutes, and a couple other times I’ve been the only person in the cafe and it took more than 20. Not the end of the world, but they can improve on their kitchen order and systems, to be MORE consistent. Either way, the salad is delicious and worth the potential wait. Always very friendly as well.

Great coffee. Healthy breakfast options. Kids like it too.

Love all the GF, V & healthy options! However the bowl I really wanted was out & the food took about an hour to get to our table. Plan for slow service on weekends.

Place was packed on a Monday afternoon. Local Alaskan hamburger was good!

Middle Way Cafe is one of the best breakfast and brunch hotspots of Anchorage. They have a large selection of breakfast, brunch and lunch items including omelettes, sandwiches, soup, salads, pancakes, and more. They also have a full service espresso bar where you can get hot and cold espresso drinks; they also have drip coffee. If youre hungry but in a hurry, they have items togo plus a large selection of pastries and baked goods. And if youre wanting to eat outside to enjoy the summer sun, they also have an outdoor patio. Whether youre just visiting Alaska or a local, you should definitely try stopping by here at least once for either breakfast, brunch or lunch (or to just gean some coffee).

Super yummy food! Great dining experience. Tons of dairy free, gluten free, and vegan options!

I’ve heard such good things so I had to try this place. I had a craving for a big fresh salad and this place did not disappoint! One word of caution: the full salad is huge! I added chicken to it and could not finish it. I can’t wait to try their other menu items, and the pizza place next door!

Got a delicious omelet with coffee before hitting the airport. Great options for food, smoothies, bakery items, vegan, vegetarian, and drinks.

Of you want quality food in Alaska that isnt going to clog your veins, I highly recommend this place.

Great food but slow service. Worth the wait if you have the time!

Great food and wondering staff.

Had a lamb burger was pretty good taste like a gyro. Seem to take awhile to get our food but maybe it was me starving. salsa is one of the best iv tried in this town. Coffee was okay.

When I saw the Blueberry Hill French Toast on their menu I had to try it. Was not disappointed. Got a side of scrambled eggs and reindeer sausage. Yummmn

Great place to eat. When I visit I always enjoy Middle Way

Absolutely delicious. I had the Baja bowl minus jalapeños and it was one of the best gluten free, soy free, vegan meals Ive ever had.

I like the food and theyre friendly, but not very good at requests.Every time I order a sandwich, salad, etc. I ask for no sliced red onions. But 9 times out of 10 I get my order and theres onions. And because their onions are so strong everything still smells and tastes like onions after I remove them. Thanksfully Im not allergic, but its still very frustrating.

Awesome food. All the food I had here was vegan and extremely delicious. Far beyond my expectations of Anchorage. The employees were also very nice and welcoming.

Tasty vegan cafe with an extensive menu of choices. The plates are filling, but not cheap.

Pretty good food! But we waited an hour for our food… and it was to go…

This place is mainly organic vegen and multigrain products. Not a typical regular breakfast sit down. Good for those into that line of food

So yummy! The vegan breakfast burrito was everything!

Bowls are so awesome. Very tasty, feels healthy.

I love it here. A blessing in Anchorage

The B.A.L.T was great. Ordering the food was fine: got it to go. They asked for my phone number so I assumed I would get a message when the order was ready. I waited around the pickup counter, keeping an ear out for my name, nothing. 30 mins waiting for a sandwich, I finally approached the counter and the three people there seemed to mysteriously loose their vision and hearing. I stood there staring at them, « hello? », one of them turned around and answered the phone. Another was prepping the tortilla chips bags while staring at me trying to get someone’s attention and still do nothing other than fill the bags up ONE chip at a time. The other had no choice but to confront me just to act like I’m interrupting their workflow. Ultimately, I’m willing to pay a little more because it’s simple, healthy food. I don’t mind waiting a bit and I understand that it can get busy. I do mind having to go through this each time I go in there. The only time I can get in and out of there with no problem is when I buy a smoothie. 2 stars cause the food is decent.

Yummy sandwiches with vegan and vegetarian options. We will go again. Preorder and pickup and they text when done.

Wonderfully local restaurant, with vegan food that actually tastes good. They have a variety of breakfast and lunch option, along with a good coffee bar. Decor is art conscience and stylish, it made me feel comfortable and warm. The only bad thinga I can say about it is the parking lot is terrible, and it gets very crowded, so come early.

If I could give this place zero as an option I would. Horrible phone etiquette. My order sat for an hour and I had to call them when I was told that they would contact me. And the girl wasnt professional about addressing my concerns and basically said to me do you still want the food or not... every time Ive come here Ive had the worst interactions and experiences.

CLOSED MONDAY TUESDAY!?! What’s wrong with you hippies

I always like the idea of coming to this place, then remember why I rarely do. The food is pretty good, but also a little over priced. The wait for food is always horrendous, and it’s always difficult to get a seat. I do like their coffee, and they are one of the more dairy-free/vegan-friendly places in town. But, tbh, I’d rather go next door to their sister restaurant Hearth, which is much better.

An organic place for those who are gluten intolerant as there choices are plentiful

Food was excellent. A bit disorganized behind the counter.

For the breakfast options in Fairbanks, Middle Way does a good job, though not great. I got an avocado toast and the bread wasn’t toasted. :/Other than that they have a bunch of cute and tasty pastries and fresh juice which isn’t common in the city.

I LOVE midway cafe, the food is always so good and fresh and healthy!!! the atmosphere is airy and has a cozy welcoming vibe!!! 10/10 would recommend!!!!!

I visited this restaurant today with my husband and toddler, and had a really nice experience. They were a bit busy, and we had to wait maybe 10 minutes before we could order, and the employee told me it would probably be about 25 minutes for food to come out and asked if I still wanted to order. We were ok with that. Both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the menu options and the quality of the food we received. The manager (or maybe owner?) came out to check on us while we waited for our meal, and brought my daughter a fruit cup to snack on while she waited. That was very kind. The portions were hearty and typical diner items come with a special touch that made this place memorable. For example: the thick cut bacon, the berry butter that comes with French toast, and the sauce on the breakfast burrito were all unique touches. My husband also really loved the tortilla on his breakfast burrito.

If you looking for something healthy, then thats the place for you. Wanted to try something new, it didnt disappoint.

This place is awesome! Visited here our last day in Anchorage. Local fresh and healthy breakfasts. I had the huevos rancheros half (whole would have been too big). Affordable meals and tasty coffee. The ambiance is just my style- bright colors, sustainability minded, and local feel. Busy but tables frequently open up. Highly recommend!

Beware of the $4.50 upcharge to sub bacon for ham on a benedict. They failed to text that our order was ready. Waited outside for 45 minutes. Food wasnt hot. Home fries were undercooked. Had to ask for plastic ware for a togo order. Staff left a pastry off, had to go back in. Manager doesnt seem to be able to handle the volume. Expensive, slow, disappointing.

Was some great food and lots of options to choose from! The customer service could be improved as well as the wait times but overall a good choice

Great food, but not enough tables and inefficient way of seating people

Great breakfast and great people!

They call the meat for the breakfast sandwiches protien. Now i get that its cause they offer substitutes, but its like calling a store the place where you get bread. Theres a lot of places that have bread.

Great variety for vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters. I had the lamb burger with bbq and a cup of turkey tortilla soup. The burger was a little over done but still had great flavor. The turkey soup was to die for. Huge chunks of avocado, topped with a generous sprinkling of cilantro and just the right amount of turkey. Coffee was fresh and the bakery items were as well. Hip without being pretentious, decorated with local art, and a friendly staff. Wish I was staying in Alaska just a little while longer to check out their breakfast!

50 minute wait for a sandwich. I don’t care how great the food is who has all this time to wait for lunch?

The food was very good. The service made me take a star away... Sorry to do it, but you have to be honest or these reviews are pointless.

From all the positive reviews we saw of this place, we were excited to go, but it turns out the atmosphere and food presentation was the best thing about this place. their food is over priced and mediocre at best, and thats be generous.I ordered a 16oz cappuccino and after sifting through an enormous amount of flavorless milk froth I get to find barely any coffee at the bottom. I took my drink to the barista and asked why there wasnt more coffee in the drink even though I had ordered a larger sized drink. From whom Im assuming was the manager said they only put 2 shots of espresso in, regardless of the size, so realistically im paying for flavorless creamy coffee. When i asked to just switch it out for an Americano she told me i would have to pay for it, even though i barely touched my original drink. i didnt even entertain it, i settled for water because at least the water tasted better.At least I could depend on the Mexican eggs benedict that everyone was also raving about??? WRONG, it tasted like they dumped all the generic taco seasoning that you buy for family taco Tuesday onto a plate. I didnt even get halfway through the meal, no reason to force myself to eat something I dont like at all. Even my English muffin was burnt.We have to pay for our food first, and they dont even try to make sure their guests are satisfied. At the very least their Tropical smoothie was great, but Id really question life if they couldnt even blend some fruit.

Waited 45 minutes and then staff says they dont know how more time it would take. The lady with short hair at the counter was rude. Wont recommend if you are hungry and dont have more than an 1-1.5 hour to get your order.

Good bread quality, long wait time

We tried so many things Im surprised they didnt need to roll us out the door: espresso, florentine eggs benedict, fresh fruit tart, multi grain pancake with fresh fruit.The eggs benedict came with yellow potato hash. Seasonings are spot on. I requested ketchup but didnt use it when I normally would because the flavors are amazing.The people are friendly, kind.There was a wait for a table and food was about a 30 min wait. It was completely worth it. Thank-you for a lovely a lovely meal!

I love their Buddha Bowl. I wish it was open later than 3pm. Great selection of different foods and desserts. My go-to when I have nothing to eat at home.

Generally it was ok. Its a nice atmosphere and the staff is friendly, prices are average for serving size. I had the greek salad with the tomato balsamic vinaigrette... It was a nice sized salad, but I found the vinaigrette to thick and strong; it needed to be cut with water or a little oil. I only put about a third of the container on as it was pretty thick and gloopy. By the end of my salad my mouth was not happy from the extremely sting vinegar.My wife had an omelet that had squash, carrots, and maybe sweet potato. She said is was good but needed salt. She did say the side of potatoes we very good.Id try it again but would skip the greek salad, it just not for me.
