Artsy coffee shop. Not a lot of seats. Coffee is good. Nice place to enjoy a coffee on a rainy day.

Finally, a proper coffee shop in Fairbanks. I was beginning to become concerned. Hats off to the owner and his great set up. Check out the art on First Fridays.

Fantastic coffee and a great environment. Always a new interesting artist to find on the walls of the cafe

The atmosphere is as good as the coffee. I have had coffee at several coffee shops in Alaska and this is one is the best. Period. Look no further if you want the best coffee and a fun place to hangout.

Very chill coffee shop. Great place to relax and get some work done.

Sent them an email like they requested, they never replied.Edit: they replied to my review within minutes

Really neat place to get a cup of coffee in the AM. Very clean and they a lot of cute items for sale. We also had the Sweet Waffle with strawberries and a chocolate croissant and they were both VERY good. The coffee is strong and will keep you up! 🤪

Wonderful place with great ambience, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The building has a lot of cool local history. Coffee was excellent and they have food and alcohol as well. There is also a little boutique inside that has cool local gifts and art. Nice sitting area in the front to people watch and a large room in the back with comply seating.

I waited 40 minutes for a pour over coffee.The barista forgot my order and then proceeded to talk on her phone in the backroom instead of promptly making a cup of coffee.

Hip coffee shop with great drinks, music, nice people. Id recommend sticking with the pastries and waffles for food, they were the best. Espresso was really good.

Very cute coffee shop and art gallery! They have coffee, beer, wine and snacks. Can’t wait to go back!

Cozy place. Nice coffee

Great coffee, friendly staff and nice ambiance. Also really cheap.note that there is currently no hot food.

Had coffee and a good early afternoon chat with my Uncle Verice. People were great and courteous. Will sure visit again.

Fantastic location with great coffee, a light breakfast menu with healthy & decadent options. Free WiFi and an art gallery next door.

Excellent coffee in a warm, fuzzy and relaxed setting. The menu has a number of options for snacks and dessert to go with coffee. The host, Jamie is sweet and very polite. Also a good place to sit and work without getting distracted.

I have always loved venue and now that they offer cocktails I love it even more! They have such a calming environment. We got two cocktails and a flatbread during our visit and it was so perfect. I recommend everyone check out their later hours, beer, cocktails, and mimosas. They also have a nice lounge area in the back.

Cute place. good location, The ice museum is just next door.

Coffee and food was astounding! The coffee itself is the best weve had in the state. Customer service was either amazing or average depending on you had. The facility itself was quaint and inviting.

Really great coffee, cool atmosphere, nice people.

Breakfast was great! My wife had the breakfast nest and I had the burrito. Both tasted great. They also had a good selection of teas. I recommend the imperial green tea.In addition to the cafe, they have some great art on the wall and a nice shop all on the same floor.

Cool art, good coffee and pastries. The atmosphere is really chill. Good vibes fs

Quality coffee and delicious treats 😊❤️

Coffee was alright, little burnt taste on the shots but nothing unbearable to drink. But the atmosphere inside was unique and comfortable. I could chill inside for hours if I had time. Plus the barista was quite friendly and nice.

This is my favorite coffee place in Fairbanks. The cappuccino and flat white are amazing. I go every weekend!

Great ambiance, great food and coffee. Love the staff. Also the gallery has excellent representation of local artists.

Great venue, great bites and coffee selections.

This is an amazing gathering place with a modern style in the heart of downtown Fairbanks. The cafe has great options for breakfast and coffee, or midafternoon snacks with drinks. The cocktail selection is creative, and the local / Alaskan beer choices are a nice touch. Service has always been friendly and upbeat. The owner is also incredibly friendly and outgoing, and clearly has his heart invested in his business and in Fairbanks.The cafe is wonderfully spacious, and decorated with features art from Alaskan artists. Same of the tables have gorgeous glass chess or checkers sets if you fancy a game over lunch. Immediately adjacent is an art gallery / gift shop with beautiful selections from local artists. I have to be careful stepping in here as I always want to bring home way more than I can afford!The entire place just feels upscale, well cared-for, and inviting. Even the restrooms are clean and feel welcoming. Id wholeheartedly recommend anyone to check it out. Even if you only grab a coffee and look around at the art, you wont be disappointed.

Love the coffee and tea options, always knowledgeable coffee buffs behind the counter. The environment is this hipstery modern type style with beautiful artwork up. Always nice to pop in when Im downtown. AND they are revamping their food menu as well as serving alcoholic drinks now!

Wonderful design: an art space first, coffee second. We were ecstatic to hear not only were they low key the best coffee shop in Fairbanks, but they had started to sell cocktails and apps for evenings. The culture is amazing, and the cast are all fun to talk to and willing to answer any questions. A local, downtown staple

A comfortable, welcoming space - great coffee, staff and atmosphere. Always enjoy the new art and shopping for gifts here!

Nice coffee shop with friendly staff. Food is high quality and flavorful. Good coffee. The atmosphere is very nice and a lot of effort has been made to make it engaging.

Love going to Venue! Being an Oregonian, this coffee shop was a little slice of home! Very friendly and encouraging staff and baristas. The coffee is always wonderful! It’s always a great to go and be in community with friends in this uplifting atmosphere!! Will definitely be back!

The carrot cake cupcake was delicious!

Good coffee and atmosphere, not impressed with pastry. Got a drip coffee and chai tea later, and those were awesome and shockingly well priced for the interior. Also got a strawberry scone that was essentially undercooked pizza dough, virtually no trace of strawberry flavor. Maybe I just got unlucky but theres a little room for improvement in the baked goods. Otherwise great spot for coffee and getting work done! Would go again

Great atmosphere!! Good service and coffee. If youre trying to chill and a have a good coffee go to Venue!

Gluten free baked goods and well marked menu. Staff is helpful and friendly. Good food. Will come back!

What a nice coffee shop in the middle of Fairbanks. We went in for coffee, ended up wondering through the space looking at art. Bumped into the owner and learned a great deal about the space. If you are looking for a cool event space this place is pretty cool. If you are looking for a good cup of coffee and a pleasant place to sit and have it, this place is it!!

A very nice space. The coffee was good and the staff was friendly. If you are into a relaxing enjoyable cup of coffee surrounded by local art, then I strongly suggest this space. Parking was easy as well.

This coffee shop is great! They even turned my boyfriend and I on to a new type of milk alternative, oat milk! I had an oat milk latte and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be coming back here when I visit again.

Enjoyed the coffee - more to an Australian taste. Lovely fresh wraps full of flavour (it was great to have something other than deep fried food). The ambiance was pleasant, staff were very friendly and courteous. Will come back if we have a chance!

Second time in and loved it even more. Being an avid coffee enthusiast, Ill never pass up and opportunity to experience new cafes and their all they offer. Venue is up and coming and everything they stand for is about to be lit!Obviously the experience and coffee quality is outstanding. Give em a shot.

Really enjoy this place. The wraps and baked goods are sooo delicious, AND healthy. But the super-friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere is what puts it into the 5-star rating. Local Art gallery across the hall.

This place is way under rated. GOOD BEERS ON TAP! Super clean and really nice inside. Beautiful art and gifts (though on the higher end of the price spectrum). Staff was amazing and helpful. I stopped by here prior to heading out of town and am glad I did. Food was delicious. I will definitely stop here next time Im in Fairbanks.

Consistently excellent espresso.

Great food - breakfast available all day. Coffee was great. The people working here were super helpful. Lots of artwork and gifts available from local artists. Clean environment.

Hands down the best gluten free waffles I have ever had! And their baked goods (all gf) are amazing. I havent had a pumpkin roll in a decade and it was better than I remember! The coffee is great and the staff is awesome. Will definitely return.

Awesome. My go-to place

Fantastic spot with great ambiance. The art gallery/coffee house is a must for the best coffee in town with great morning eats. The cornbread waffle with chili changed my life! The owner is an awesome person and top notch host just looking to make people comfortable in his town. Love it here.

One of the absolute best spots in Fairbanks! Great coffee, food, service and especially atmosphere. Worth a visit!

Finally someone in the US understands good coffee. The Venue gets it. Good menu. Excellent coffee and friendly people. They also have a gallery with local art on display and for sale.

Great atmosphere and consistently excellent coconut milk lattes and tasty food. Most relaxing coffee house in Fairbanks.

Great atmosphere.

A little bit of a wait for the coffee and at 240 pounds, I feel like Im going to break a chair. But the baristas are SO NICE and SO positive. I figure that there are enough grumpy folks that come in for coffee, so my hats off to them for keeping a smile.

Overall nice. Lovely atmosphere, great coffee, and good food. However, when it said with bacon it was one paper thin piece which made me feel cheated because there was no way to get any bacon bites with most of the potatoe nest.

Cute little place to get great espresso drinks! I had a Macchiato and some quiche bites and it was only $6.50! Great price for the quality of food. Good atmosphere and pretty quiet. Sit, relax, and enjoy the many electric outlets 😉🍪☕🍽

Great place, very friendly staff. Wish there was more room but loved it nonetheless. Very clean place!

It was an interesting place to check out, the artist showcased actually had talent and put effort into her work. I look forward to going back.

Great atmosphere... great coffee... ideal location

Such a classy place! Relaxing music, beautiful artwork, lots of seating, games to play, treats to be had, and coffee to drink! The barista was very kind and helped me choose what to drink. I decided on a Macha Latte with some Lavender syrup to sweeten it up a bit. Absolutely perfect and delicious!I checked out the art while she made my latte. Found that they have several rooms you can sit in for more privacy or a quieter atmosphere. Overall, absolutely loved it here. Will definitely be back.

A great stop for a cup of coffee to, or to see the artwork on display. Make sure you check out their first fridays.

I decided to try this place while visiting Fairbanks. Friendly staff, full of smiles! I only tried the dark mocha, but its delicious. Nice, chill spot to sit and relax with a book, tablet or just your thoughts.

A place to go if you look for a good black coffee. They do alternatives, too (tasty chemex from either beans they sell or specials they just happen to offer). This place is pretty popular - and no wonder. They do know coffee!

Had the cornbread Waffle, it was doughy and bland, the chili that came with it was bland as well. Nalley brand chili had more flavor. The Matcha lattes we ordered were so strong they made our mouths dry and they were almost chalky. The only saving grace it the atmosphere and art.

An intimate coffee house and art venue. Great coffee and interesting art shows. Always changing... Intriguing!

Venue is a cozy cafe to spend a chilly afternoon and relax. Great selection of small plates and coffee/tea, beautiful atmosphere. Local art surrounds you as you sit at the gorgeous community table, or any of the small tables and comfy couches in the cafe space.Adjacent to the cafe is the gallery, constantly changing and filled with a variety of local Alaskan artists that you wont find in any other locations in the interior.If your lucky enough to catch the space while it is hosting a small show, gallery opening, or amazing talk be sure to hop in and settle down for a treat.

Not just have food allergy friendly foods but art as well..great addition to our downtown area and nice ppl as well as interesting events and nice place for ppl to visit

Nice little coffee shop. Breakfast wrap was good (for Alaska). Coffee was good.

Treated myself to their Gourmet Sandwich The Cali this afternoon. A panini grilled with pesto, mozzarella, tomatoes, onions and spinach. This was the most delicious $9 Ive spent in a very long time! Staff are fast and friendly! Thrilled to have the likes of them in Fairbanks :) !

Wasnt expecting a place like this in Fairbanks. Great coffee, good service. Fun, modern vibe with the attached gallery.

Neat hideway good coffe n tea menu art and gifts avail

Nice cafe, pub and gallery. Trendy.

Im a big fan of this place. Open and clean, service was kind and prices are reasonable. My wife can get a fancy chai and I can get a drip coffee (with one free refill!) and we are both happy reading for a while. There is a sign on the bathroom (or was during our last visit) saying to make sure the door is secured. Its not joking around -- I thought I double-checked and some poor customer looking to relieve himself had the misfortune of catching me with my pants down.

Cool coffee shop. Good vibes a d great Matcha tea👌

Expensive and exclusive.Venue hosts First Friday art shows and they feature Alaskan artists in their shop. They sell Alaskan (Fairbanksan in particular), products and have great, expensive coffee. Clean bathrooms, courteous staff, and a relaxing place to sit and rest.

Great coffee! Nice little spot, good food

Nice coffee spot in downtown Fairbanks. Great coffee.

Easy and comfortable space with local artist creations.

Cute little place. They have games available such as chess to play. I really liked their coffee too.

Best Coffee in Fairbanks. Their pour overs are perfect. If youre there during the holidays grab a pumpkin roll!

Awesome place if youre looking for a nice place to just hang out, but it could also be a great place for a date. Theres free WiFi here, and it has an overall good vibe. The drinks are very artfully crafted and delicious. I would recommend the espresso with ice cream or chai latte.

I bought an Alaska Land 4 Life patch at this place. Total next level, way to support what never should have changed! Oh yeah, killer coffee, great atmosphere, I try to stop in when downtown.

Best coffee in Fairbanks! My sister had her wedding here and the staff was extremely helpful setting things up and keeping the events running smoothly. Would recommend the Venue as a venue.

Best coffee in Fairbanks! Their baristas are really good at what they do and friendly. Theyll let you taste their unique syrup flavors before ordering. They have cool artwork and both high tables and regular small tables for 2, and 2 small couches. They have chess laid out too. Wifi doesnt work but you can use the other ones available.

Great atmosphere and coffee. Nice location downtown. Its the only place Ive found like it in Fairbanks.

Good selection of drinks and food items. Nice service. Not the most comfortable seating.

Very good coffee, gift shop and wifi!

Beautiful art show this month. Friendly employees and owners!

Very nice to go to somewhere so modern on first date.

Caramel Cappuccinos are good. Workers were super friendly.

The best very friendly staff and great food

Decent coffee, acceptable but limited menu combine with a lovely atmosphere and interesting events to produce a pretty forgettable dining location downtown. Only truly worth it during a good event.

A rare, high-quality coffee shop find on downtown Fairbanks. Not that the local cozy shops arent also nice, but if youre looking for more of a Seattle vibe in Fairbanks, come to Venue.

Great lavender latte!

Service was friendly. Coffee tasted great. I had a wonderful experience.

Our coffees were yummy and the staff was friendly. We loved looking at the art for sale that was created by local artists too.

Beautiful art space with delicious food and fresh coffee and espresso. Fast wifi, modern environment...a great place to do work or catch up with friends.

Atmosphere is nice, food is great, coffee depends on the barista.

Good coffee and great breakfast burritos.

Good coffee, amazing place to chill or meet friends.
