Fodor's Expert Review Organic Oasis

Just across the street from Chilkoot Charlie's, this popular café is part eatery and part community center–event space. The menu offers plenty of healthy (or, at least, healthy-sounding) fare, including fresh-squeezed juices, smoothies, organic sandwiches, espresso drinks, pizza, fresh vegan soups, and tempeh burgers. Organic's bakes its own bread and buns. While vegans and vegetarian visitors to Anchorage should put a giant star on Organic's location on the city map, omnivores are not left in the cold: the menu includes burgers, chicken, salmon, and grilled Buffalo rib eyes. There's even organic beer and wine. There's live music many nights each week and free Wi-Fi. Service can be slow. If this place could somehow manage to acquire a more hippie vibe, it'd float to Berkeley unassisted.
