Popped in here on a rainy day while we were on a cruise. The atmosphere was great and I loved the games! Coffee was perfect, too!

Great prices and delicious food!! Must try the famous smoked salmon bagel •Bathroom available •Lots of food options, you can either dine in or walk around with your smoothie and bagel •local handmade art .. very unique! I got an email asking to review my experience from last summer when I visited on a cruise ship and I just wanted to say Cheyenne has started a beautiful establishment at such a young age. Even though the cafe was busy, tables full… she remained calm and had a very lovely conversation with us… giving us advice on what to do in town, where to find wildlife, and her story as to how she got to Ketchikan. My wife and I were extremely impressed and we highly recommend supporting a small business like this.

Nice coffee. Always quite when I go in so no wait. Didn't really have a conversation with any of the staff, just ring the bell, order and wait. The salmon river walk is super close by. Nice location and my friends had the bagels and said they were delicious. They have WiFi too.

PERFECT PLACE TO TRY LOCAL SALMON PRODUCTS! I loved the variety. I came to this cafe looking to try local salmon and I was surprised they had a whole menu dedicated to salmon! I got an iced caramel latte, a cup of salmon chowder, and the smoked salmon bagel. My coffee and chowder were both served in less than 3 minutes and my bagel took about 10 minutes which I was very happy with. The girls working were very sweet and accommodating with my questions about getting around town. They also have fun music playing and adorable chainsaw carvings made by local lumberjacks. 10/10

The cutest cafe in the cutest little Alaskan town!! I love the food here- avo all day bagel and the poke bowls are my faves!! The atmosphere, service and vibes are top notch and the owner is so sweet and passionate about this new endeavor! She also hosts game nights and does loads of deals here and there! Also free coffee Fridays for the locals- heck yeah!! There is also really cool local art like chainsaw carvings, paintings and earrings!! The pricing of everything was great as well- small Alaskan towns can get crazy expensive but I felt like this cafe had really fair pricing. This cafe is only getting started and there’s so much more to come and I love it!

Best place in Ketchikan to try local alaskan food products! I highly recommend their smoked salmon chowder. It is alder smoked salmon and it was the best chowder I’ve ever had. We also got the smoked salmon bagel, blueberry lemonade, salmon poke bowl, PB banana smoothie, 2 coffees, and a hot chocolate. We paid about $100 for everything which was VERY affordable for Alaska! Everything was very clean and tidy. Staff was very kind and even though it was busy, I got my food very fast. The environment is fun and is welcoming, with music playing and fun fish decor. They have local art for sale that you can’t find anywhere in Ketchikan. We bought an original painting and a chainsaw carving from a local lumberjack. This is a new cafe and they are locally owned, so make sure to stop here and support a small business!

LOVING MY VISITS TO THIS CAFÉ! I've ordered multiple times and the food is fresh and the smoothies are made with real fruits (which is important for me personally). The Café is kept clean and there's a lovely ambience, small but spacious, so you can always find a seat. So far I've had the Ahi tuna poke bowl, pork pelmeni, smoked salmon bagel. Recently I went in over December and they had the tree up for the festivities. Thank you, keep up the excellent service!!

We stopped in on our way back to the ship from Creek Street. We had two lattes and shared a cinnamon roll. We should have each had our own cinnamon roll. It was that good. We had a pleasant conversation with the staff, they are very friendly and courteous. The latte and Chai latte were very good and made to order. Ketch Me If You Can is a good catch in Ketchikan. We highly recommend it!
