Middle Way Cafe - Anchorage

Wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re a vegetarian. They may have a lot of vegan/vegetarian items, but they are not careful with making sure your order is correct. We were given a beef patty in a vegetarian burger. When we went to get it checked, they “assured” us that it was vegetarian and that too in a very condescending tone as if we were making some random claims. We went back the second time and asked to get it checked and that’s when they actually accepted that it was beef. Being a vegetarian it was a very disturbing experience for my friend. Other items we ordered were the chicken sandwich(they made it with the wrong bread) and a breakfast burrito. Both were mediocre at best. They did refund the burger, but overall definitely not worth the $100 we spent there. It cost us our peace of mind and put everyone in a bad mood.

I wish I could give zero stars.I ordered a veggie burger because I’m a vegetarian but when the food came, it was a beef burger. When asked if they can confirm, one of the servers replied very rudely, and I quote- “I can assure you that it is vegetarian”. Would never suggest this place to anyone. I’m extremely saddened by this service, as it is strictly against my morals and culture to consume meat.The food that the rest of my party got was not great either. The burrito was oily and not wrapped well, it fell apart as soon as it was picked up. One sandwich came with the wrong kind of bread.The coffee and cupcakes were decent.Overall, would NOT recommend.

Great smoothies, carrot cake, and vegan options! There is rotating art featured which is worthwhile to check out.

Middle away Cafe is fantastic. In terms of quality and quantity, you get what you pay for and more! In my experience, the food has always been better in-house than to-go order. I can’t say enough about the quality of the food ingredients and the pleasant feeling it leaves on the stomach post gorge. Enjoy!

Friendly, self-serve water, and pastry options. BLT was solid, but the soup of the day can be a hit or miss. After eating, I could feel my stomach become healthy and happy. Pastries were also quite nice. Vegetarian options available. Would recommend!
