Saturday 2/22/25 was the first time I’ve been inside Benji’s. I’ve had their food before, but I’ve always had it brought to me. It was 2 PM on a Saturday so a lot of stuff was sold out and I completely understand. It was busy, however everyone was being served. When I got up to the counter, there was only 3 people in front of me and they were all together. I got the salmon chowder, The portion was immense. Very large portion with a big crusty bread roll. I also got two croissant waffles, the blood orange, and the brownie. I took all of the stuff home to eat. The chowder was very good, it had chunks of potato, & flaky salmon. The croissant waffle was a couple hours out of the case when I ate it. Delicious. Perfectly crusty and crunchy and different. I have had the croissant muffin cupcakes before, But not the croissant waffle. Perfect afternoon snack. So delicious and the cream on top is a perfect compliment to the richness of everything else.

My favorite place in Anchorage! It has all my favorite things! 10/10 recommend - Boba is great! Lots of different delicious flavors - Bahn mi is amazing! - chowder is also yummy! - they have the yummiest dessert options. My only complaint is they sell out because it is so good.

I really enjoyed this little spot! We ordered a bunch of pastries all of which were super good. I enjoyed the Nutella cruffin the most, definitely going to go back for that! The signature drinks are refreshing and tasty! Customer service was great even with them being busy

Everything about this bakery is exactly where you want to go first thing in the morning. The staff were helpful, inviting, and offered us (as newbies) a free waffle croissant treat, lightly coated in the perfect amount of honey syrup. Every bite was better than the last. Each pastry will send you on a journey. 10/10, must go.

We had our first experience at Benji’s today and it was amazing. We came in right before close and they gave us a ton of free goodies in addition to our purchase♥️ the staff is so kind and explained everything to us and the treats we got were so delicious. Definitely stop by to give them a try if you’re in Anchorage!

I know everyone goes for the baked goods but the CHOWDER! My husband and I are from New England and wow, this was the best chowder you can find in Alaska. I’m very picky about my pastries and these absolutely knocked it out of the park, SO DELICIOUS! Sad that I live almost 2 hours away but I will be back :)

Went in to Benji’s for a little pick me up, as my grandma just passed today.. the young lady working the counter threw in a few extra pastries “just because” and little does she know her small good deed was awfully big to me today. Thank you for your kindness.

We got the mango paradise boba and it was perfection, tasted of fresh mango and it was a heavy drink! Def worth $7. They packed that thing. We got the Islander Bahn Mi which is a warm spam and nori sandwich. The second sandwich was pork bit and cha lua. This one was cold and more deli style meat. Both were delicious! $12 per sando. I will come back for pastries because they run out quickly. They looked like good portions and very beautiful. Seating is limited and the place gets really busy Sunday afternoons :) Keep up the good work ❤️

This place is a hidden gem. I lived in Anchorage for 2-years and none compare. I will always go when I am in ANC. The people who work there are friendly and helpful, make you feel like a welcomed guest. The pastries and sweets are perfection; so good and look like works of art. They educated us about both kinds of ham that were in our pastries and then gave us a nice sample of the best waffle I’ve ever had. Go grab a snack and an Americano. If you do you’ll be back. Thanks Benji’s!

My first visit based on a FB review and was NOT disappointed! Every croissant definitely has my name written all over it! Excellent flavors and textures! I loved the sweet options but that sandwich was to die for 😋 I also loved the customer service. She provided great recommendations and was so friendly and courteous! I will definitely be back!
