Anchorage bakeries run from artisan bread programs to cafe-counter pastry, spread across the city and out into the Mat-Su valley. Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop is the standard bearer, baking from its original downtown shop on K Street and a second Airport Heights location in midtown. Sweet Caribou and Great Harvest Bread Co fill out the midtown scene, while Vagabond Blues Bakery carries the tradition north to Palmer.
