2 Best Restaurants in Fairbanks, the Yukon, and the Interior, Alaska

Alaska Coffee Roasting Company

$

With its tasty treats and eclectic artwork from around the world, this hangout is so popular that a line often curls out the door. It's a worthy stop either for a to-go lunch to bring on a hike or a well-made cup of joe and a cookie, a scone, or a muffin to savor inside. The kitchen also serves up breakfast burritos, quiche, and sandwiches, along with pizzas cooked in a wood-burning oven. Desserts include tiramisu and cheesecake. The "roasting" in the shop name isn't just for looks—all the beans brewed here are also roasted here.

Pita Place

$

Fairbanksans have been going mad for Nadav Weiss's falafel and hand-baked pitas ever since he started serving them at the Tanana Valley Farmers Market, and now they're available year round at this stand. In summer, enjoy the comfy outdoor seating, or pair lunch at the stand with a visit to the farmers market just a few blocks away at 2600 College Road.
