Check out this gem of a place while filling up your vehicle. Rob (the owner) is a great human being :)The hot chocolate can be made vegan here. Menus got game of throne drink specials. The khaleesi's dream vanilla milk shake was great.

Stopped through from Wrangell-St. Elias. Ordered 4 crepes, 1 pancake bites, 2 iced 24 oz Chai teas. I was asked to tip before ordering... choices were 18%, 25%, and something higher. I gave 18%. We waited 30+ minutes to order, and 15+ for the food.When the drinks came out, they were 3/4 ice. When the food came out, I asked about the ice, and was told that it was standard to give a full cup of ice. So $5.95 for about 8 swallows. Then my sausage and pepper crepe was made without peppers (an extra charge). When I went back to ask for a fix, they were defensive ("it's been really busy"), which is fine, but the order receipt clearly had pepper on it.It wasn't so much the wait, but the way we felt when it was handled. I ordered a crepe with peppers, and was questioned when I asked for a fix.The food was solid, no complaints. The sausage was yummy. The drinks were good, but with that much ice, they were very overpriced. No lactose free option (but we dealt with that). However, asking for a tip beforehand and then feeling shortchanged on the drinks and the incorrect order left a sour taste in my mouth.

Great people cooked food fresh for us it was something I have never tried but awesome was like two pancakes with bacon egg and cheese. My mocha was so good it was amazing pulled up their in our big rig right to the window . I ordered my mocha we were starving because not many places to eat on the way to Anchorage and she asked if we were hungry and we ordered the sandwiches they were great and different bacon crumbles . I will be stopping their again and to cook those it didn't take but 8 minutes . Amazing place.

Small burrito not worth it go to Ernstos.Long wait for 2 burritos. They charge extra for sour cream and salsa.Not impressed at all, would skip in the future.Bigger burritos and more stuffing and condiments like sour cream and salsa would make it better.Thanks for responding.

Staff was super patient and service was great. They were super busy but still quick and kind (especially answering all of our questions)!There was a mix up with our coffees and we weren’t able to go back, so we called and they were super sweet and offered a refund. The reindeer currywurst was DELICIOUSDietary restrictions: They have a large menuParking: It’s in a parking lot with plenty of space. It is next to a gas station so it was pretty busyWheelchair accessibility: They offer a drive up option where you can also walk up to and seating that is ground level

Coffee was good. Staff was friendly but totally unprepared for 4th of July weekend business. We waited in line 30 minutes for the two vehicles in front of us. Weather was beautiful so waiting was not a problem.. but the entire glennallen "hub of Alaska" complex was a madhouse with at least 70 RVs, trucks with boats, and others navigating the parking lot of an Alaskan summer during the pandemic.

If you’re in a hurry, it would not be advisable to stop here. Their coffee is usually pretty OK, and it’s not like you have a lot of choices in glorious Glennallen AK so yes, I’ll be back.

3 stars for the Coffee and lotus. They were good and the coffee was very yummy but I would steer clear of the food if your looking to get food on your stop. The bagel sandwich is a microwaved frozen jimmy dean that you couldn’t even bite into. The other bagel we ordered was burnt with a smear of topping. Like the other reviews say the wait time is pretty long even with 1-2 cars in front of you. I understand this is a small town.. but with it being in one of the busiest places in Alaska in the summer it could use some improvements!

Long long wait, possibly due to short staffing and a large/wide-ranging menu of drinks that needed to be individually prepared.Earns a third star for the quality of the drinks, well-prepared.

This is a busy place, a brumuda triangle of traveler's, if you will. Patience is required for a good cup of coffee.

Great coffee and service. Brianna was amazing! She made sure each day that I had perfect cup of "sludge" - coffee with espresso. If you are passing thru or in the area for work like me, this is the place to stop for coffee in Alaska.

It's a long drive to Anchorage and Valdez... you should get a cup of coffee or maybe a Sludge Cup to keep you warm and awake. The Trailside Espresso is easy to find and they make it even easier to order with their drive-thru. Enjoy your coffee and watch for moose!If this review was helpful please click the Like button.

Very nice people and was pretty cheap! Good place to go overall. Loved the stickers they put on to keep your drink warm in the frigid temperatures.

Friendly people, and the coffee was decent. Unfortunately the food was just microwaved breakfast sandwiches and frozen muffins...expensive for what you get and not good.

Stopped twice, super slow both times (at different times of day). Unfortunately, the coffee was also the weakest that I've ever had...not good when you're on long road trips and need to wake up!!

The coffee is good and the staff is friendly, but they are slow paced with making their coffee. I waited for 20 minutes just for a iced mocha.

Location, location, location. I'm glad they are here, and they served us well. The coffee was on the lighter side, so be sure to ask for an extra shot!
