Cafe Ristretto - Anchorage

Kid-friendliness: I've seen kids doing their homework inside the cafe. Parking: There’s a large parking garage available. Wheelchair accessibility: There's an elevator to the 5th floor for the cafe, and they also have a handicap-accessible bathroom.

This is a clean and cozy spot with the best view in town. The coffee was enjoyable, though it may vary based on personal taste. They serve sandwiches, fruit cups, and a variety of other snacks.

Honestly, I can't understand why this place is still in business. I'm really hoping for something better to take its place. It's never crowded—neither in the mornings when people typically grab coffee (and it's a coffee shop, yet no one seems to want the coffee!) nor during lunch. There are so many employees in this building every day, and if the offerings here were decent, it would be packed daily. By the way, the coffee machines on the floors serve much better coffee than what you get here. I wish we had vending machines with more appealing lunch items instead; they would definitely be a better option than this shop.

A fast and friendly café for the staff at Denali Towers.
