Kindred Cafe - Anchorage

I didn't ask for whip cream, left the flavors up to them and this is what I got freshly arrived from the door

Been getting my morning 20oz Vanilla Latte' here at least 2-3x a week for two months now and the baristas are skilled enough that my coffee is consistent regardless of which worker makes it. That's rare for coffee shops. So, if you add their friendly and awesome customer service to that, you got one great place to get your morning pick me up from!

Lotus drinks are awesome, had them from other coffee shops but thought I'd try this one. Going to get a 32 oz for my friend and I to share. Order a 32 oz dragonfruit lotus with light ice. Pay and wait. I received a 24 oz dragonfruit with ice packed to the lid and like 8 oz of the drink in there. So dissatisfied after it took 3 times correcting the barista before she even started making it. Do better, Kindred Spirits.

Here in Anchorage from Florida, so I today understand if my review is off, since I'm a tourist and all. This coffee shop sells some good coffee. Randomly stopped at this small coffee shop, because how much money am I really going to be giving Starbucks in 2019?. I was not disappointed. I would have ordered the Kindred latte (shout out to my Tampa Kindred fam), but I decided to keep it simple. I ordered a mocha breve coffee and it was just right: the balance of espresso to cream to mocha made sure neither was overpowering. Plus they put a cute fall pumpkin sticker over the cup's drink spout, an unexpected touch. I gotta come back for that Kindred latte for sure . Coffee shops are a dime a dozen, but this little drive through spot stands out in a good way.

This is for the one on 5th ave, they don't have a yelp yet. I got my normal 12oz mocha with whip. It was 3.75$, a little on the steep side. I noticed my other drink choices were on the expensive side too. My drink was too hot I couldn't drink it for 30 minutes after. Sucks when you're on a time crunch. The barista was nice she gave me 2 punches when I started a card. Don't know if it's double punch Monday's or not.
