"This is a quirky gift shop with a coffee/doughnut shop almost hidden in the back! They also have a backyard seating area for enjoying the coffee and apparently beer! Being a guy that loves doughnuts, I was hoping for a great one, but I have to be honest and say I was not impressed by their doughnuts. VictorB"

"We stopped in here twice on our visit to Anchorage. Once with a food tour, then again on our own to get another donut and the samovar tea. They have fresh old-fashioned donuts in vanilla, birch, fireweed, cinnamon. We had them all and they were all delicious. It is a great little shop with all kinds of gift and souvenir items."

"Wowza- this place is a gem!! The donuts are THE BEST old-fashioned ones I have EVER had. All the flavors were amazing- especially the fireweed and blueberry!! Super fresh! Love the gift shop too- try the house made tea- it is phenomenal- they give you a warm, free sample as you browse the gift shop. They even have a back patio with fire pits- love this place!!!!"

"This was our first time visiting this store and I’m impressed! They have a ton of gifts from candy, to magnets, funny sayings/quotes, soaps, candles and more! We didnt get to try the bakery/coffee shop out though. Nina was super nice and gave the kids free candy samples as my wife shopped around. Great environment and friendly people, highly recommend!"

"So I heard so much about this place (reviews, YouTube, tour manager, fellow travelers). Thus, I can't leave Anchorage without visiting it. I was set to taste the famous Samovar glazed and Fireweed glazed donut. I was expecting something that tastes extraordinary, but it's just okay for me. Could it be that it was not freshly made? Like not fresh from the oven, I was expecting that it would be hot and tasty as what the other described. But nope, I was disappointed and couldn't really differentiate it from other best tasting donuts I had. There were 4 customers, including us, when we came. The cappuccino we ordered took a while to get served. I didn't order the famous Samovar tea. I was able to taste it, though (there's a free tea tasting within the store area). And I can say that Samovar tea is just as what they hype it for...perfectly blended if I may say. I love it and it is worth buying for your stash of tea or as gift."
