Black Bear Coffee House

The Black Bear is a local, independent small business. Our season runs mid-May through mid-September, when everyone takes dream vacations to The Wilderness. We operate a casual counter service restaurant, serving brunch through to dinner as well as local coffee, beer and wine. Sourcing proteins and produce locally, supporting local farmers and brin... ging the highest quality products to the table is very important to us. We have an in house bakery, featuring rustic pastries, both conventional and vegan/gluten-free. We also bake all of our menu breads in house. Most of our menu is available gluten-free. And we have excellent options for vegans and those eating clean. We are the go-to spot for people wanting real food from scratch. As for coffee, we are THE coffee house in Denali. In fact, we were chosen as 'BEST COFFEE SHOP IN ALASKA' by Food Network online. We source locally roasted coffees from Steam Dot Coffee Co. in Anchorage, voted 'BEST COFFEE IN ALASKA' by Food and Wine Magazine. And we are proud to offer many directly traded coffees with real stories from farmers and co-ops all over the world. We also serve smoothies, shakes, tea, Denali brewed kombucha, Alaskan beers, and wine. To say we are busy, is an understatement. Once the season gets rolling, we often have a line out the door most days. That means that we need people who know how to work, and love the thrill of being slammed and riding the wave of the energy that it brings. We are known for our customer service. Check out our reviews on Trip Advisor and Yelp: awesome, happy staff... delicious food and pastries... great service. For over 20 years, Black Bear has been the living room of Denali. It's the place to linger, indulge, people watch, meet friends and make new ones. Our dynamic staff cultivates the magnetic vibe that breeds our beloved community.Read More
