The Fudge Pot

I have celiac disease (100% wheat intolerant), so finding a (good!) gluten free sandwich in Fairbanks has been been tricky over the years. I stopped in The Fudge Pot today to inquire about gluten free options, and learned they make gluten free sandwiches! Gluten free breads and baked goods are usually hit-or-miss, but I am so happy to report the GF sandwich I ordered today is THE best I’ve had in Fairbanks! Plus, the staff were incredibly kind. I’m excited to have a place to eat downtown (same building I work in) that is safe for me to consume.

I ordered a PB&J, hot coco, chips, and fudge. The fudge and chips were good, hot coco was bitter, PB&J was NOT made on sourdough as requested, way too little jelly, and was stale/hard to eat. my boyfriend got also a hot coco and grilled cheese on sourdough. hot coco once again bitter, and the grilled cheese was literally bread and cheese. no butter, no seasoning, wasn't good and hardly tastes like sourdough.

What a hidden gem! Located in Fairbanks The Fudge Pot is a nice elegant spot to have a quiet bite to eat. I had the salmon chowder which while it wasn't thick is was filling. It came with toasted bread that was the perfect compliment to the meal. Its sad to see the location so empty but at the same time it allowed my partner and I gentle place to relax.

The atmosphere and workers were great. Got a tuna salad sandwich for $16 and I couldn't taste the tuna because there was hardly any on it. I understand things are more expensive here, but it just seemed like a lot for bread, a slice of tomato,leaf of lettuce and smear of tuna salad.

I made a quick stop here before leaving town and it was worth it! The fudge was very tasty and they had several unique flavors. I did wish they had more to choose from, maybe some classics with nuts, but I did go about an hour before they closed so maybe they just ran out. The service was nice and polite, they were patient while I looked over the flavors.
