Reviews of Benji's Bakery & Cafe
Nurullah Gokdogan
We found this gem in Alaska. Amazing pastries. The dough was perfect. We are from Hawaii but I think we can not find this good croissant in there. ☀️⛱
The price is reasonable. Not so crowded. Plenty of parking spaces. 🚗
The only thing I didn’t like is the athmosphere is not matching with the quality of the products.
The bread beaked fresh at 11am and 4pm. 🥖
They have tables for dine-in. The staff is very friendly. 🙌
Diamond Nelson
I simply love going here for a quick snack. My go to is the brown sugar boba and Alaskan chowder which is basically clam chowder with smoked salmon. It also comes with a fresh baked baguette. I definitely recommend you stopoing in for the other sweet treats they offer daily baked right in house.
Hannah Walstad
Yummy pastries, Sammy’s, and chowder!! We love it here. You have to arrive at a good peak baked goods time to get the best selection. Small space so ordering out or on the go while running errands is great.
Kristofer Comrad
Banmis were delicious and very crispy bread! Perfect amount of spice. Baked goods were fantastic. But the most surprising thing was the bobas were the most flavorful I’ve ever had; did not taste like watered down tea that I’ve always had! Wallop of flavor, just like all there dishes. Will eat here again.
Adam Reida
Got the Grilled Pork Banh Mi.. it is everything I want in a banh mi. Crusty and flaky packed with amazing flavor. The meat marinade is so flavorful as is the pickled veggies. Just enough fresh veggies to add a nice crunch and it has the prefect amount of heat. Will be back to try the other banh mi sandwiches!
Chiara Gio
Best pastries in Anchorage!! Everything was delicious, perfectly layered croissants, crunchy puffs, super moist sticky buns. I am a pastry chef and I loved everything I’ve tasted 🙌🏼 Highly recommended! …
Jacques Manuel (JM)
Looks like a cool place to hang out with homies
My friend ordered for me, a tea kind drink lychee blah blah blah, very refreshing and tasty.
They also have a bakery here but we were all too stuffed to take a bite
bonnie gruber
Outstanding strawberry croissants!! Definitely stop in here when in Anchorage, they have a nice variety of pastries. A good croissant is hard to come by, crispy on the outside and light as air, and the addition of strawberry knocked this outta the park!
Aviana LeDance
This was a complete shock to find European quality flaky pastry at Benji's in Anchorage Alaska (they didn't even over sweeten!) Decadent crispy flake, flavors added to highlight but not overtake, slight sweetness that still allows the pastry to shine, this is what I consider great pastry.
--> Bear Claw with Frangipane and almonds (have never had one so light and flaky!)
--> Raspberry Cheese Danish (taste the cheese and fresh fruit! No syrupy glaze.)
--> Cinnamon Sugar Cruffin (croissant pastry formed into a swirl and baked in a muffin tin)
--> Classic Croissant (saving this for breakfast) 😁
They also have an extensive drinks menu including coffees, teas, boba and juice. I had a Thai Iced-Tea with coconut milk and that too was one of the best I've ever had.
Add it to your travel list!
Timothy Stewart
Each Banh Mi we tried was very delicious. You also can’t go wrong with the Coconut Boba Slush with Coconut milk and boba.
R.J. Knight
They have amazingly delicious deserts and other foods that are also very tasty. If you’re in Anchorage this is a must!
Kelvin Sonnekson
I’m so happy to find this place before leaving Anchorage! To be able to support local stores like this is a must for everyone! And please come in early! I’m glad I did because by the time I left, line started to spiral out. I had their Nutella Monkey bread! OMG! Delish! The matcha boba was good, it was not too sweet just how I like my boba tea. I will definitely comeback here when I’m in Anchorage again! And try their coffee and guava cheese roll next time!
Eileell Alin Nguyen
#DATCRUNCH We're visiting from Houston, TX and y'all I live in Chinatown, this bread is amazing - all their breads have a consistently light, crispy crunch. We tried everything on the menu and everything slaps. From the banh mi's to the chowder to the pastries to the boba drinks, you can't go wrong.
Sarah Greenwood
Pastries were wonderful, unfortunately they hardly had any ready upon opening, and the employee behind the counter wasn't really helpful explaining what they had to offer, especially since I told him it was my first time in and I wasn't sure what the options were (lots of specialty items). Instead of telling me what was ready he just showed me the list of options and let me order and then tell me it wasn't available, this happened 3 times in a row. Luckily what I finally got was really good. The guy that rang me up was sweet too.
Kris Knox
I recently visited Benji's Bakery & Cafe and was blown away by their delicious pastries and sandwiches. The cruffins were some of the fluffiest and softest I've ever had and if you didn't know, that's a croissant baked in a muffin pan, they come with a squeezable flavor injector and you didn't know you needed this in your life until you bite into one. The candy striped pastries were texturally interesting and delicious. Their bahn mi sandwiches also stood out with their crisp, fresh veggies. And I can't get enough of their milktea drinks. I highly recommend stopping by Benji's for a tasty treat!
Michael Langevin
We had higher hopes. A bakery with out bread and pastries? I can understand not wanting to waist materials, but not having any dough won't get you any dough. They had as many employees as customers, but most of what we heard was "out of those and sold out of that." Oh...and the statement that "we sell out of those by 300 or 330pm daily" was made... Well if your open past 330, then shouldn't you make more?
The Roaming Rosiers
Clean. Nice staff.
Had Strawberry Lychee Boba Tea- I would ask for half syrup next time but I'm don't like things super sweet.
The pork sandwich was not impressive but not bad. Tip- Make sure and ask to have your sandwich cut in half to make it easier to eat.
The star of the show was the Matcha cream puff 😍
Pictures of this yummy fluff included... it is messy and about the same size as my face and super good.
I would go back to try other bakery items as that seems to be where their real strength is- yum 😋
Alina Goncharova
SOOO good. Wow. The ube cream puff was amazing. We will 100% absolutely be frequenting this place.
Melody Keena
I wish I would have taken a picture of the dessert I had here. It was AMAZING! Just go there. You won't regret it.
Kristina H
Everything is delicious! Love their croissants, sandwiches, and boba drinks. If coming here for the first time I recommend trying their pastries such as the cruffins which is a cross between a muffin and a croissant, so good!
M Tauf
Really nice service and the pastries are amazing. Had the strawberry, pistachio and Nutella... All were really good. Also had their pork and cha Lua which was really good too. The milk tea with boba was really sweet. There was already a line before opening but worth the wait.
gillian erratt
I love this Bakery! Ube anything is delicious from here, my favorite is the Ube Swiss Roll yum. But the main reason I come here is for the iced tea's. I'm not a fan of Boba but theirs is homemade and from what I've heard, absolutely delicious. But I recommend the Pomegranate Iced Tea with extra popping pearls!!!!
Bob Chan
So I came a few days after they had their grand opening. It was lunch time on a tuesday and there was a ton of people here. The store is a little cramped during busy times like that day. It reminds me of a low-tier Californian boba shop, however it's definitely the best if not one of the best boba shops in Alaska. Theres a ton of parking in the lot
Wendy C. Ramirez
We were visiting Anchorage, Alaska for the first time and we were so lucky to stop at Benji's Bakery and Cafe. Our 6 year old had seen several pictures of their delicious looking bakery goods online and we were able to make her wish come true and took her there on our last day in Alaska. We tried the tea and baked items and we love them. It was something, we had not tried before. I just wish we could have a Benji's Bakery & Cafe in our home town. Exceptional customer service.
Liezl Joie
Mmm… so yummy and pretty presentation thank you!
Ka Vang
Get everything! It's so gooooddd! We highly recommend 1 pastry, 1 bahn mi and 1 drink before you leave. You can hang out and eat or take it to go.
Darci Mcfaul (LoudCitrus)
Baked good are always on point. Bah mi sandwiches are fire. Boba drinks are delish. Highly recommend you try this place out when you get the chance.
Mikaela
I don’t live in Anchorage anymore, but I still dream about this place. Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!!
brittany pernell
I've had every Bahn mi here. They're all exceptional. As well as the pastries. Everything is fresh baked!
Donny Banerjee
I had the Taro Cruffin and a Pumpkin Spice Croissant both were absolutely delicious. The Cruffin didn't last long enough to be pictured but I assure you it was yummy and not overly sweet. Also the Pomegranate boba is tasty.
Matthew Muir
One of the best of Anchorage.
Meat pies not on menu, but were available today and were amazing. Curry and cheese steak pastries were 😍😛😛🥰 so good. …
Natalie Carachuri
I recently discovered this place, it is so good. It has a very modern Cali Asian vibe . Everyone that works there looks like a super model. My favorite things are the ham sandwich, matcha blast, coconut taro, and these little swirl cakes purple and strawberry flavor. The pastries are so good flaky fresh not too sweet. Come here you wont regret it.
Moge Zhang
Good place to have boba if they ever have some. Been there 3 times for the past weeks, all 3 times no boba!!!!! Make more boba please!!!
Jane Lee
So far I only tried the boba slush which tasted pretty good, just was a bit too sweet for me and it was pretty watery. They ran out of chowder by the time I got there so I’m planning on going back to try other items on the menu, the service was really nice!
Andrew P.
The drinks here are great, probably my favorite for boba or milk tea in town. The service is fast and friendly and their bakery offers a selection of Filipino and other sweets. The sandwiches are hit or miss, but for their price ($9 each) they're good.
Alex Statz
This place is amazing! I stopped in on a whim, and let me tell you I am so glad I did.. The staff are amazing! The baked goods are top notch! And, the chowder is out of this world! If you love a good cafe. Then you owe it to yourself to go to this amazing local gem!
Wendy Tesulov
Some of the best pastries ever! Our favorites- it’s got to be the green tea & taro cream puffs!!!!!! We went there at the beginning of our Alaska vacation, and the last day to take some home for the kids! OK we bought a few more for ourselves as well!🤪☺️😉 just wish they shipped to Oregon! …
Angel jeonghan
It's a great place to get boba(taro is my favorite here) and pastries that aren't too sweet. But it's only good if you do take-out, the place itself isn't suitable to stay in and enjoy the products, it's busy with very little sitting space.
Anthony Winger
Visiting Alaska and we went to Benji's Bakery 4 times we loved it so much!!! Everything we had was A+ and so good
Kaylyn Mitchell
We always love stopping by benjis for drinks when we are in Anchorage. They’re sooooo good.
Shelly Campbell
Carrot cake cruffin, bahn mi sandwich and specialty tea were all wonderful!
Nick Sommars
Wow, walking into this place Is a whole vibe, the atmosphere is very relaxed, good thing too, the pastries and menu options are so loud. Way to take pastries, coffee, and overall service to the next level guys. 👏🏽 …
Caitlin McKinstry
Amazing bakery! The crossaint muffins are incredible. Ban mi's great too
Carl Reimann
Benjis is hands down the best spot in town for baked goods. If you haven’t had a cruffin you definitely need to hit this spot up.
Gabriel L
Food and service were excellent. Banh mi was flavorful and the baguette was crisp and fresh.
Caitlin McElhinny
Favorite weekend shopping stop. Banh Mi is incredible, pastries are diverse and delicious plus yummy boba! Something for everyone!
Michelle Mitton
Great bakery in South Anchorage-it's nicer that they're open later than most bakeries. Good hot chocolate and croissants of all kinds. Friendly staff
Allison McLellan
Amazing. Banh mi was superb, boba was perfect. Will definitely be back to work my way through their menu!
Amanda H
A great spot for boba and they have amazing pastries!
Bernie Person
Yummy, friendly and COVID cautious! Not terrible prices and creative baked goods
Crystal Leturno
I live Benji’s! It’s one of my favorite lunch spots in Anchorage. Service can be a bit slow when they are busy but it’s worth it. The pastries are unique/beautiful/high quality/delicious. The bahnmi is flavorful and on fresh bread. The bubble teas are great.
Go and support this small business! There is nothing else like it in Anchorage.
Dr Gats
Amazing bakery, good drinks, but I keep coming back for the Bahn Mi, best I've had in AK
Meredith C
We stumbled upon this place and are so happy we did! The pastries look and taste amazing. I'd love to come back later and try the banh mi. You can smell things baking the moment you walk in, even through a mask. :)
Cindy Sandhu
The best bakery ever! My go to place I have to go to when in Anchorage.
Penne Noodles
I just love, love, LOVE, Benjis! I've been going for almost a year now. I had always seen the store and it took a friend's recommendation for me to go. Took a few visits to find out what drink and pastry I love the most, but eventually I found them! There are always familiar faces and kind smiles when you enter. Sometimes they'll be a little busy but they still obviously are trying their best to make sure you're taken care of. The atmosphere is chill and makes you feel comfortable. Since I'm pretty much a regular, and sometimes call in my orders, I started to get recognized. Made it all the sweeter knowing they start to remember their customers. This is one of the best places I have ever gotten serviced from, and I really recommend it.
Isabelle Pope
My family adores this place. It is the best bakery in town. Everything on their menu is amazing.
My mom and I went to try their CroDoughs (I think that is what they are called- a croissant combined with a donut) and I have a video of me with tears rolled down my face- it was THAT good. I know that sounds overdramatic, but I promise that it happened. I tried adding the video to this review but I couldn't unfortunately.
Point is: they are fantastic and they have my business for life!
Anna Gaeva
If you want to try something new outside of cupcakes zone, this is a nice pastry store. From my perspective, they are focused on puff pastry with various flavors, but also have some nice sandwiches and flavored drinks. Great place, give it a shot.
Violet Yockel
Delicious pastries and drinks. Favorite is the iced caramel macchiato with bobas! Staff is super friendly and helpful too.
My one complaint is that there isn't a separate drink/food versus pastry line. Nothing worse than wanting to order quick but getting stuck behind a group of people asking about every single pastry and waiting for them to pick one.
Robin Warren
Incredibly delicious and unique pastries, along with soups and sandwiches that are just as yummy ❤❤❤❤❤
Mario Blandino
It's a toss up... As far as the bakery goes it's one of the better ones in town, with some unique & delicious creations. But the boba teas are some of the worst I've ever had (watery, over soft boba, undissolved flavor powders). Also they open way too late in the day for a bakery (read: not for breakfast). But they're a great dessert option after having dinner at pho-natic a couple doors down.
Jessica Jess
Can’t even begin to tell y’all how much I love this place! The drinks are delicious the sandwiches and chowders are amazing! My favorite place! I highly recommend anything and everything on the menu!
Mel Johnson
Crowded over the weekend when we visited. Not sure if that was because of the lil car show out front or a typical Saturday morning. But the pastries we tried were MMM mmm MMM... With a tropical twist to the pastries, they gave it that little bit of flare and separated them from the rest. I missed having boba after living in upstate NY, so i had to get my favorite flavor--taro. The boba/pearls, were perfect and chewy. The taro flavor was sooo good. Mine was soy based, so not sure what the other milk bases would taste like... So many things we need to come back and try.
Amanda Bowen
Awesome pastries, filled buns on the weekends, and delicious bahn mi - I've never had anything from Benji's that I didn't want more of. I only wish I knew more about what all the pastries were, but they're yummy even when I don't know exactly what I'm eating.
A
There milk bobas are really tasty. Roasted chicken sandwich, pork/chicken buns are good. I have yet to try any of there pastries. Gentlemen working cashier should smile more, he didn’t seem to happy to be there
Soren
This place is unreal. I went in for lunch and could not resist all the impressive looking colorful pastries, I ended up leaving with 3. The pork Banh Mi looked and tasted amazing, it was the perfect blend of fresh flavors. The signature pomegranate boba tea was freshly made in-house and was like no boba tea I have ever had before, light, refreshing and not too sweet. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful answering all my questions. The decor was upscale and modern with plenty of seating for dine in. 10/10 worth checking out!
R T
Favorite place for pastries, ban mhi and taro boba milk tea.
LeeAnna Bohnert
Absolutely LOVE Benji's! I try to stop in whenever I can. They're always so nice and friendly, helpful with decisions on which yummy treat to get. Also love the Boba options and Thai Tea!! 😋😋 …
Daniela B.
The boba is so good! They have some nice pastries too
Laskii
BEST banmi sandwiches and clam chowder in town! I go here multiple times a week and they have creative desserts, pasteries, and boba tea as well! Fast, accurate and delicious!
AshLoafsCoffee
The food is amazing, the bread is perfectly made, the bakery looks unique, and the atmosphere is very memorable.
Kylie Wallette
After living here for 18 years, this is one of my favorite spots! Just went for the first time a couple weeks ago and loved every second of it. Lots of fun tasty pastries, delicious Banh Mi and INCREDIBLE iced teas. I feel like a changed person after experiencing Benji’s. DEFINITY recommend.
Doug Brown
I worked at an upscale bakery in the Seattle area and this place Has amazing cruffin style pastries that rivals any place in Seattle. They’ve got the best pastries in Anchorage. (I’m a big fan of the cruffin) I’ve definitely found my sweet tooth spot. Can’t wait to try everything!
Anthony Liu
A couple times I ordered the tropic like it’s hot, they used stale mangos for it, and one time they forgot to add sugar. When it’s made right it’s perfect, but it lacks a little consistency in the quality, and it’s making me going there less and less.
Thydaphone Keobouala
I came here with my sister just to try for drinks till I saw the pastries. I bought an almond sort of bread and Tropic it like it's hot (green tea with pineapple, hibiscus flower, mango, and orange). I thought the almond bread pastry was going to be super sweet but it exceeded my expectations and it was at a perfect sweetness! The flavor combined was outstanding! Bread is cooked well too. As for my drink, I was hit with the aroma. It was super refreshing and satisfying and it's been the perfect drink I've been looking for for the past hot summer days we've been having. I tried my sister's boba milk tea and I gotta say, it does taste the same as boba tree BUT, the drink is cold because of the amount of ice they put compared to boba tree and the after taste really put me in a great mood. I almost forgot to mention but I did also order a sandwich they called, Banh Mi. This is really popular with vietnamese, thai, and Lao people. (Probably more Asian countries but I've never been to them) the bread. Exceeded my expectations once again, its crispy on the outside when you bite into it you reach the fluffiness of the bread. The flavor I tasted from the veggies in that sandwich was fresh. The sauces combined with it was spectacular, and complimented each other. It is a small shop, but I do highly recommend this place. I'm coming back with my boyfriend next time!
Carol Johnson
I was driving down Dimond around 6pm last evening en route to another bakery/deli (which turned out to be closed) when I saw a sign for a new "bakery and cafe" next to Phonatic Vietnamese restaurant, (also owned by Benji, the owner of the Bakery) so I pulled in and parked. There was a line that went outside the door, which to me was a very good sign, and as it turned out, it was! The bakery had re-opened after it's short 2 hour (3-5pm) closing to replenish its supply, and the items were already selling fast. It seemed most of the customers were already regulars, and they gave me information about the various menu items, which were all tantalizing beautiful and clearly very fresh. I have never seen such large, full, and gorgeous croissants, in several flavors (incl peach, orange cream, plain, chocolate); as well as pistachio and cream and chocolate chip and cream pastries, sticky buns, almond sticky buns, boba, bah mi, and more. The sandwiches are delicious: the bread is light as air inside, crispy on the outside, and so fresh. Bagels were on the menu just below the ceiling, but were not being offered last evening. For drinks I bought a pomengranate, and a peach ice tea, which were delightful. There are many different drinks which I plan to try next trip.
The baked items here are in my opinion the freshest, lightest, most unique, and delicious in Anchorage. And I understand the choices will continue to expand.
The staff is very friendly and personable. They smile and engage with the customers. The owner, Benji, apparently saw me struggling with a big box of food items and a carrier with the iced tea, and came out to my car to help me. We then discussed at length how he developed the bakery and cafe and his desire for high quality products. It is a happy place. There are tables and chairs for in-store eating, as well as take out.
Amber Barrack
This place is AMAZING! Everything I've tried on the menu is BOMB! Can't go wrong with any of their chowders. The 'Pork bit & cha lua' Bahn mi was delicious(only one I've had so far) and don't even get me started on the pastries 🤤❤️🤤❤️ …
Travis Neff
Benji's is offensively good. Cruffins are absurdly delicious and inventive. All of their pastries are bonkers sized and the kind of thing you crave towards the end of a big hike. Lived in Anchorage for years before I found out about this place. Legit banh mi sandwiches and some good boba style teas.
Witchychic 809
Best place in town! Benji's is going to be a huge spot in Anchorage! Great drinks! Great sandwiches! And wow his pastries are off the chain! The place is very put together, Benji knows how to make you feel welcome.
Hannah Scoggins
Saw the place advertising macchiato boba drinks on instagram and we decided to give it a try. We got the macchiato boba drink, milk tea, 3 different cruffins and a strawberry shortcake croissant thing. We were blown away by everything! Will definently be back/regulars now. The milk tea is probably the best I have had up here, could really taste the tea. I wanna try the fruity pebble cruffin, I know it will be amazing!
Beth Campbell
This place is a gem in the heart of anchorage. The fresh made bread for the banh mi is comparable to the gods' manna. I wasn't sure if waiting in the long line in the crowded restaurant would be worth it, BUT IT SO WAS. The pastries? Delicious. The teas? Delicious. The banh mi? Delicious. The customer service? Friendly. The owner came out to talk to us as we were eating and gave us a little run down of the place, told us some secrets for the bread, shared his inspiration for opening the restaurant.. it made for a really cool experience. I would have been ecstatic if that was all my visit consisted of, but I decided I wanted to get a box of pastries to-go after I inhaled my banh mi. The owner noted that I was back for more and hooked it up. He pulled out the fresh out of the oven taro buns so I could try one and I am now swimming in bliss as I devour chocolate croissant, chocolate almond coconut danish, taro buns, and lychee filled croissant. If you're not sure, just go. It's worth the hype.
AK Sassy Cassie
Great atmosphere, reasonable prices for phenomenal food, and friendly, quick service. The Pork Bit & Cha Luna sub tastes like a spring roll, but with BBQ-like pork chunks and deli meat. The Alaskan clam chowder is bomb, the purple yam Swiss rolls is a heavenly cake and whipped cream desert. We also got the strawberry cheesecake GIANT, croissant.. soooo delish. And the Mango, coconut milk Boba Slush smoothie was the most refreshing smoothie at 24 oz. Great modern pop jams playing on the speakers and charging ports at every chair. You can't go wrong with any order here.
Layla Ishler-Lawrenson
Amazing cookies!!! Good coffee and good people!
Anxious Fur
This is definitely my kind of bakery! They have all the flavors I love (which are kind of unusual) like lychee, taro, rose, & lavender IN their pastries & drinks! I think I've found my new go-to place!
Nico T
It’s a bustling fresh urban spot for a quick treat and fresh drink! Great bakery, great cruffins (crossiant&muffin), great variety and drinks. The atmosphere is very chill, laid back. I love this place and the food is always fresh.
Charles Meza
Everything about this place slaps. this is some of the best quality desserts in town with an incredibly reasonable price. The vibe is just right. Don't contemplate it just go. A sweet tooth haven and a diverse menu.
Pam Robertiello
First time at Benji's and they did not disappoint. Green Tea hibiscus with pinapple was delicious. Pastry was delicious too. Good price as well.
Daniel Derrico
Great food, deserts and drinks at fair prices. Excellent location, but ufortunately the store is small for its locale. With two major traffic arties, a majorhiggway close by with an exit to a major shopping area, a bigger store would be inorder. I will recommend Benji's to anyone who wants great food in a friendly atmosphere.
joanne enriquez
Quick service and delicious treats 😍 …
Tony Walsh
This place is very hip and trendy. Quite a refreshing change of pace in terms of hot spots in Anchorage. Looks like they primarily serve bagels, Banh Mi sandwiches, Boba, and teas. Great customizable selection. If your looking for a new place to blow your socks off. Then go here👍 …
Aubrey V
So good. Had some of their bakery items and obsessed with their chowder. One of the better chowders in the state. Even my picky 3yr old would devour a bowl of it
Gregory Adrien
Absolutely amazing!!! If you haven't had a pomegranate tea, you're missing out!
diamondsandblueberries
The best place in town for boba and their pastries are AMAZING.
Master Decker (Exposed Alaska)
Their croissants are wonderful.
You've got to get there early if you want them though, they have been selling out lately.
Zach
Benji's Bakery has the best Boba in Anchorage. Anytime family visits this is one of our first stops! The food is great as well.
Catherine Heroy
My only regret about Benji's is that I didn't try it sooner. I love the Bahn mi sandwiches, the boba drinks, and the amazing selection of pastries
bona kim
Everything here is fresh. The employees also make you feel so comfortable! Amazing place. I honestly wish Benji's opened earlier but the wait is totally worth it.
Gabe Canfield
I came in and the breads and treats looked super appetizing. I got a peach tea boba and it was also delicious.
William Paton
I love this place, and if there wasn’t a pandemic, I’d give them 5 stars, but recently they’ve started to be more relaxed about employees wearing masks. This place is great but I don’t think I’ll be coming back until Alaska’s numbers go down
olga morozewych
ordered 1 plain croissant to go, very disappointed.
Not large enough for a good size sandwich, very flaky and full of air.
Too expensive of $3.25 !
Emily Greer
Good food (great menu, more than just bakery items), good atmosphere (music, decor), and friendly employees.
gili lemberger
The pastry dough was really good but they are all filled with whipped cream which ruined them for me at least.
ione weston
Their baked goods are like eating delicious clouds..! I appreciated their COVID precautions. If only they offered delivery!!!
David Blanchett
Everyone should expirience Benji's Bakery. It's worth it.
Gabriel Broida
Boba Smoothies #Love
Yordany Rosario
Great customer service and delicious pastries. The Ham and cheese croissant is good af, and the raspberry croissant cake was hella 🔥. …
Mary Epchook
Ordered my food for pickup, they gave me an option to bring my order to my car. It was convenient for my ride into town. Perfect treat.
Sarah Park
Love this place. I’ve tried their pastries, sandwiches, chowders, and boba tea! Never been disappointed, worth the wait :)
Emy & Keith Casey
Finally something like this in Anchorage. Amazing pastries and you must try the Thai Tea Boba Slush. Thank you to the owner and staff for something so great!
Olivia DeLoach
The guy that took my order was fast and friendly and my order, the Horchata Matcha, was really good!
Anne B
A little bit of SoCal in Alaska. It's nice and trendy, definitely tastes of summer.
devo33
Food was excellent and staff was friendly. Better hours than other cafes, which is what drew me to them.
Kate Weisler
Have only visited a couple times but great pastries and drinks each time. Swing by for some yummy pastries!
Samantha Jefferson
If you’re looking for fresh homemade boba, a great pastry or an authentic Bahn Mi, look no further than Benji’s!
Karla C.
