You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Tried This Unique Bakery In The Heart Of Alaska
There are not many Chinese bakeries in Alaska, nor spots for dim sum, but Charlie’s in Anchorage has both. Head to this unique spot for elegant cakes and baked goods, some Chinese sweets, and a full menu of dim sum and Chinese cuisine. It was voted best in BOTH the Bakery and Chinese food categories in the 2016 Best of Alaska Awards by Alaska Dispatch News (at the time, now the Anchorage Daily News). This place is delicious and worth seeking out for pastries and authentic Chinese dishes. Charlie’s Bakery & Chinese is located at 2729 C St., Anchorage, Alaska.
Charlie's has a small dining room and bakery counter. The menu reportedly has the most authentic Chinese techniques in the Anchorage area.
The bakery counter is regularly filled with breads, tarts, pies, pastries, and specialty cakes. The techniques are classically French, with a few Chinese sweets on occasion.
The detailed decorating is what makes this a local favorite for special occasion treats. You can have a personalized inscription iced on the cake as well.
The dim sum style is seldom found in Alaska, but an excellent choice for casual group dining or brunch. Order several dim sum dishes, which are bite-size portions steamed and served in the basket, or something chilled on small plates. With tea, dimsum is a delightful meal either as brunch or any time of afternoon or evening.
Charlie's is a neighborhood favorite, and a frequent winner of local awards for both the bakery and the Chinese food. Head there to order some baked goods for your next celebration and stay for a sumptuous meal of homemade Chinese cuisine or tasty dim sum.
