Lucy's Bakery

I set out in search of Lucy’s Bakery after hearing repeated whispers that it was the spot for baked goods in Skagway. My first stop was their second location tucked inside a charming little courtyard within the bazaar. The courtyard itself had more atmosphere than the interior, which felt a bit spartan and could have used a cleanup, so I opted for courtyard seating. I ordered a drip coffee, the much-talked-about cinnamon roll, and a chocolate chip cookie. The lone staff member handled the order, though her attention was clearly divided by a friend who had dropped by to chat and test out a bike.

On a cruise coming into Skagway on a Sunday? This place is the only coffeeshop in town open in the afternoon, aka after you get back from a morning excursion.

He was also quite excited to give out recommendations when we told him it was our first time here. For my caffeinated drink I got there summer latte which had a bit of lavender. It was

I only ordered the cinnamon roll. They bill it as the best cinnamon roll of your life. It was definitely in the top few. You need them to warm it for you. And then it's soft, and moist, and the icing is gooey. Texture and taste are spot-on.

This has to be the best cinnamon role I’ve ever had. What started off as a sweet treat for my son turned into the entire family taking turns for a bite. The customer service was excellent and our snack stop at Lucy’s really enhanced the overall enjoyment of our Skagway trip!
