Big surprise! I had no idea Nikiski had such a great lunch counter. It’s inside a hardware store and both the store and the restaurant are incredibly upscale for the North Road. Had the bacon, parm and chicken panini. Delicious! The tomato basil soup was a little bland and could have used a little more salt and a pinch of sugar to bring out the flavors. A pat of butter would be great too. We got our food to go and they filled the soup cups too full (slightly overflowing and a scalding mess) and the crispiness of the panini was destroyed because they trapped the steam in aluminum foil. It was delicious but very soggy even tho we parked and ate 5 minutes away. Overall a great place and I will make it a point to drive up there again to eat more of their food. A solid five stars, despite my quibbles with the to-go packaging. It’s popular and tiny, maybe 3? tables.

By far the best coffee shop in nikiski, drinks are always great and there breakfast food is perfect. Atmosphere is 10/10 with friendly staff and comfortable seating. Major bonus being along side one of the best hardware stores on the k pen(nikiski hardware), it's a blue collar workers dream come true. Get your breakfast and work supplies all in one place :)

Literally the best drinks. Better than all the other coffee shops I've been to! I love their unique monthly drink menus, and their food is delicious too! Gotta try their different lotus drinks!

Nice variety of delicious breakfast sandwiches and well crafted coffee drinks. You can sit inside the hardware store at the cute little cafe setup or use their convenient drive thru windows if you are short on time. Either way you will not be disappointed in starting your day with Olde Goat Cafe.

First time visiting the Olde Goat Cafe. What a gem! A great find with many great things. Their nook in the corner of Nikiski Hardware is very aesthetically pleasing! Between the reclaimed wood walls and industrial farmhouse theme it is so cute. We had bacon breakfast sandwiches on sourdough and they were delicious. Also got two lattes that were aerated perfectly and the shots rich. The Barista was super friendly and had excellent customer service. Very cheerful and pleasant. We will definitely be making this stop a regular occurrence!

A small coffee and sandwich stand inside the hardware store. One of the best cups of coffee we've ever had, and their biscuits and gravy and paninis were pretty stellar as well. They sell some branded merchandise and it's cute and well priced.
