Soldotna's Morning Rail-Stop

It all began with a train car. Not just any ordinary train car, but a retired Alaska Railroad bi-level passenger train car from the 1950's.

And when momma bought it, she said: "This train is bound for glory, this train!"

She didn't necessarily know what it was bound for, but she knew it deserved to be appreciated once again.

One thing she did know was that she had an insatiable thirst for a good cup of joe.

Trains... Coffee... Now that sounded like a business plan!

Well, you simply cannot have good coffee without a good roaster, and keeping it local has always been a priority. With several local roasters to choose from, the task for finding the right one was a latte work (pun intended). It was the description on the back of a coffee bag that ended up being the real clincher.

SteamDot, a craft coffee roaster, began their tale out of the historic railroad yards in Anchorage, Alaska. Steam locomotive meet steam from an espresso machine… it was the perfect match.

You might now be asking: “where do the waffles fit in?” A good cup of coffee pairs well with a snack, but as the train was a little pressed for space, so thinking had to be done outside the box.

Our Belgian waffles aren’t your average waffles. With a variety of sweet and savory options, all the stuffings or toppings are either cooked on top or inside the batter so they can be eaten with your hands, kind of like a donut. Made from scratch and fresh to order, they are the perfect addition to a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

Our hope is to create an experience that is memorable and tasty. From our curated playlists, to the friendly service, we strive to create a space that both welcomes and invites guests to enjoy their coffee and waffles.

Like the epic story of the Alaska Railroad itself, brew@602 blends nostalgia and history in order to take you on a journey you’re not likely to forget…
