I love this place! I love their coffee but have a few great options for coffee. It’s there Buddha bowls! They are amazing and it brings me back over and over. They are a delicious healthy option when I need a fast dairy free option for lunch or dinner.

Such awesome coffee and food but 3 stars for consistently too much ice and never enough cream or syrup. They are a bit stingy with the add ins so you have to ask for extra all the time and even when you do- it’s not much. Lite ice is also just a regular amount of ice. Hoping they fix this because I like my drink to be more than three sips. Other than that it’s a great spot.

Great coffee and food. The Buddha bowl is my favorite… well maybe the Affagato is… can’t decide. Find unique options with quality ingredients and Kaladi Brothers coffee here.

Okay my drink was BEAUTIFUL and delicious! I got the Reuben and it was flavorful and HIT THE SPOT. Got grilled cheese, and egg and cheese sandwich for the kids, love the serving size, love the packaging, kids loved the food! I’ve had the Buddha bowls in the past and they are super filling and great for something healthy and quick.

Amazing experience! I got the Buddha Bowl and I think I found my new favorite food, it was so good! Drinks, food and service were absolutely amazing! And it’s a local family owned business!

I absolutely love coffee & Lotus’ & Elwoods exceeds all expectations of both. Then you add in a Buddha Bowl & you have the perfect combination. Excellent staff & excellent food & drinks. So excited they came to Palmer!!

This place was beyond a disappointment! Coffee quality is poor. Never have been able to get my coffee order right and now officially fed up. I’ve had Enough! On top of that the baristas are rude and entitled. I don’t pay for a random coffee, I pay for MY ORDER! I Strongly DO NOT recommend. Spend your money at other coffee places in Alaska. There are so many, we DO NOT need this one.

This place makes the best Red Bull smoothies! Love this place! However, if you can’t have gluten I don’t recommend getting food here, like the Buddha Bowl. I’ve been accidentally glutened twice now. Still five stars though!!! Just stick to drinks. 🙂

Completely overpriced and rude. The pretentious baristas take no responsibility for their mistakes but instead take their complete inadequacies out on the customer.
