It’s no surprise that Soldotna, and every town in Alaska, is famous for their brew. It’s a must to keep warm and caffeinated, whether you’re heading on a chartered boat trip or to a business meeting. In Soldotna, check out Kaladi Brothers Coffee, a local chain known for air-roasting their beans, unique fare and an eclectic atmosphere.

You’ll also want to swing by Odie’s Deli, which offers live music on the weekends. Try their breakfast sandwiches, French toast sticks and monster cookies. While Odie’s can really whip up some delicious snacks and entrees, coffee is where the crew really shines. You won’t find it stronger or richer anywhere else.

Caffeine Up

Arctic Fox is between Soldotna and Kenai, a little gem of a pit stop where you can get your fix, whether that’s a white mocha latte, espresso, or one of their homemade muffins. Arctic Fox is considered by locals to be a real lifesaver, situated on the outskirts of town.

The Coffee Roasters of the Kenai Peninsula is a favorite, known for its laidback vibe and incredible tea selection. There’s also Allen Sisters Coffee, Java Junction Too and Amoré Mocha to explore. However, if you need a bagel to go with your café, Everything Bagels has you covered.
