I absolutely love Little owl cafe! They have such a huge selection of sweets, and I really appreciate all the vegan and gluten-free options! there’s truly something for everyone. And the coffee? Hands down the best every. single. time! I’ve never had a bad cup there, which honestly says a lot. It’s consistently so good. On top of that, everyone is so welcoming and friendly. I always feel genuinely comfortable and happy walking in. It’s one of those places that just feels good to be in. So grateful we have spots like this here!

Food was made fast, nice place with lots of options and decent prices. However the food definitely tastes vegan and gluten free if you know what I mean. I still ate it but probably won’t come back unless it’s for pastry’s or a drink. Everyone has different taste buds though and it’s all very healthy.

Tired of the same old breakfast of bacon and eggs, I set out on foot to find something more creative. A 20-minute walk across the bridge led me to the charming Little Owl Cafe, and it was definitely the right choice. The cafe itself is incredibly inviting, with a cozy atmosphere perfect for hunkering down with a good book or getting some work done. I'm currently enjoying a perfectly made Golden milk tea from their impressive drink menu, which has a little something for everyone. For my meal, I went all in and tried a few things: the chicken fajita soup (the soup of the day), a satisfying GF waffle, and a decadent slice of matcha cake. What's really great about the Little Owl Cafe is its commitment to catering to different diets. They offer a creative twist on breakfast, brunch, and lunch

★★★★★ 5.0 Richard Camp · Dec 2025

I was visiting Fairbanks and wanted to check out the local cafes. After hearing good things I decided to check out the Little Owl Cafe and I'm glad I did. The cafe itself is nice and quaint with kind of a modern chic decorum and has some cool art to look at. The staff was very friendly and had a great recommendation for a coffee that was fantastic. I happened to go on a Saturday which they were running a special for vegan biscuits and gravy. I was skeptical but gave it a shot and I was very impressed with them. Very flavorful and hearty which is exactly what you want from a southern classic. I unfortunately didn't try any of their pastries but I hear they're quite good as well and hope to try them the next time I come to town. Side note, there's a great anime/manga/comic shop on the same

I love both Little Owl locations! I will say if you are craving gluten or meat the original location has more options for food. If coffee and a baked good are what you are looking for either location has great options! However they bake the goods at the Little Owl by the comic shop and I sometimes will find more baked goods there! Can’t go wrong at either location. I really love all their homemade coffee syrups as well, my favorite right now is the cardamon flavor.
