    Sleepy Dog Coffee is the best tasting coffee in Eagle River.  They roast their own beans still - Every Sunday. I can still remember locals who would go there in the morning with their pups for their newspaper and to talk about the happenings of the town.  I used to study there when I was in high school as the alternative to the hipster other place in town. I find the coffee at Sleepy Dog to always taste much better, the espresso is not burnt, and it just has the right amount of flavor to remind me that I am in small town Alaska.

    Sleepy Dog Coffee is forever a staple in Eagle River Alaska that will never forget its humble roots.  I was happy the day I stopped in, ran into an old friend, held my warm cup, and admired the walls, even though they have changed slightly, of my Sleepy Dog Coffee house.

    This place is 5/5 stars and should be your place to stop for your morning cup of coffee if your just stopping through.  Sit on the bench that is a treasure or just sit and listen to some locals talk about what's going on in the heart of Eagle River, Alaska.

    Sleepy Dog is an institution in Eagle River. Stellar service, Alaskan coffee, pet friendly, drive thru, large multi room seating, and free WiFi make this Landmark stellar in every way.

    Great building and friendly service!

    Folks in ER seem to really dig this place.

    I cam in a few days before Christmas and the person in front of me BOUGHT MY AMERICANO, a Christmas miracle!

    Unfortunately, the coffee tasted pretty burnt to me.  Maybe it was over-roasted?  Not sure.  Will probably give them another shot to make sure it's not just me.

    This is my favorite coffee place in Eagle River. The baristas are amazing and the drinks and food are delicious. My favorite thing to get is their black bean breakfast burrito. They have a back area away from the hustle of the front that is great for studying. I meet there with my coworkers once a week for a meeting, and it's just the perfect place. I love that the quality of the coffee, food, and service hasn't changed since I started going here ten years ago. I feel like I can't trust many coffee huts because the quality depends on the barista, and usually they are brand new and very young. But Sleepy Dog has never disappointed me. They also just did major renovations and updates after some damage from the Earthquake and it looks fantastic!

    I've only been through the drive thru (yay drive thru!) but the service was efficient and the coffee yummy. Recommendation - I wish there was a menu in the window so I could see the specialized lattes, but the barista gave her suggestion
