I really enjoyed this place! The store is spacious and comfortable, and the the drinks are very good. The staff is friendly and very kind to children. I enjoyed the pastry and snack selection as well. This is a very cozy spot during the winter months.

Coffe was very smooth and tasty. I had an Americano with heavy cream and raw sugar. Lots of people hanging out, talking, working with lap tops open and some chilling at the bar or by the fireplace. Artwork on the wall is by a local artist. I’ll be back!

Great little spot in the midtown mall. Coffee is delicious - ordered a flat white with oat milk 5. Fast friendly service. Clean coffee shop with plenty of seating and easy parking (also quick walk from Embassy Suites).

Four days in Anchorage looking for great coffee. We finally arrived at SteamDot ! It’s really difficult to find good cappuccino when traveling. Here, they prepare a traditional cappuccino in a short cup full of flavor and the perfect amount of a little foam on top, reminiscent of real cappuccino in Italy.

This place has the most delicious and potent coffee this side of town. The entire staff is very professional and always welcoming. If you make a run to REI make sure you stop by here for a quick power up.

Very comfortable coffee spot. Opens at 8:00am and if you get there early, you’ll get a cozy spot near the fireplace. The place starts to get crowded soon after. The lattes are excellent and the service perfect.

Cute place. They have a bar you could sit at or small tables around the room. In the back of the room, it's a more intimate/private area. You'll see a comfy pleather/ leather like chairs. I had a white mocha coffee, it was decent. I had a tulip art design on my coffee. They have baked goods for sale. They call you when your order is done.
