Horizons Cafe

Best healthy meal / price ratio in downtown Anchorage. Food is almost always above 8 out of 10 and the prices cannot be beat within 5 miles. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the selection is varied. A favorite lunchtime joint of downtown workers. ***UPDATE 07/20/22: Prices have gone up $2-4 on everything, but so has the entire world. Still a great value for downtown. Only thing I would shy away from is breakfast. Powdered eggs leave you sad.***

This place is awesome! They have modest prices and generous portions. The cook, Malcolm, is the BEST! Fast & friendly! He is as important as the food. I drive across town - whenever I can - just to start my day off great! The breakfast burrito ($6) is my "go to" favorite but I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you order.

Breakfast is generally pretty good here. Fair portions for a good price. There is a small menu but they will customize to your requests. Oddly, even though the omelets come with hash browns you have to say you want the, otherwise you don't get them. For lunch there is a sandwich bar that you stand in line in kind of like subway. The hot line has the burgers and hot sandwiches along with the fried food. You can upgrade to sweet potato fries or onion rings which are both good. Don't bother with a burger here. The patties are premade and small. Further down the hot line there are daily specials which can be give and take. Every time I get chicken it's dry but other things have been great. The salad bar in the center is pretty good. The staff does a good job keeping up with refilling the toppings. So I gave this place three stars because it is average, not bad.
