Best coffee shops in Fairbanks

Our guide to specialty coffee in Fairbanks: 5 verified shops, including Alaska Coffee Roasting Co., College Coffeehouse and GOOD Cafe. Fairbanks keeps a small but real specialty scene anchored by a long-running in-house roaster and a handful of independent cafes. A few spots roast their own beans, and a newer arrival pours beans from a name-brand roaster on proper espresso gear.
