"Stop in where the locals get their Ravens coffee. This place is jaw dropping, lip smacking, caffinated nirvana! Yes, the coffee is THAT good. Owned and operated locally and incredibly delightful shop keeper. If you don't know what you're seeking, she will definitely help you out. So many choices, both on and off the printed menu."

"We went as a stop along our Alaska cruise, walking around Ketchikan was a very mind opening experience. Stumbled on this cute place, 3 young ladies working there and they were all equally kind, helpful, and very nice to talk to. Wife ordered the teriyaki pineapple bowl (tofu) and I got the mango sticky rice , for veg/vegan friendly food was super tasteful, flavourful and all around a delightful atmosphere. Refreshing food for y'all cruise ship folk. Highly recommend "Just Dandy" ~Thanks for a great meal and memory in Ketchikan!"

"So nice to find vegan and healthy options! Pretty short walk if you're visiting from a cruise ship- delicious coffee and food, though a little pricey. Highly recommend the ube coconut cold brew and giant fresh spring rolls"

"Needed this healthy option during our cruise! The flavors were delicious, service fantastic, and I want to take them along with us throughout Alaska. Snapped a pic but my husband and I devoured half the bowl pretty fast. Portions great for sharing if you want to taste your way through Ketchikan. Also great to support local year round businesses."

"Attention all cruise ship visitors! Tired of all the crazy food you’ve just been subjected to? Then “Just Dandy” is what you’re looking for. You’ll enter a very bright and cozy cafe. The service is quick and friendly and the coffee sure beats what you’ve been standing in long lines back for back on the ship. We listened to the owner and got the Thai Bowls and they are delicious! There is a lot to do and see while visiting Ketchikan, but plan to include this as a “must stop” on your walking around."

"This cafe is amazing. It has very healthy food that is freshly made and very cute decorations. There are some books you can read and just an overall chill atmosphere. I got the Salmon Lox Toast for breakfast and it was surprisingly good. I had never really liked this kind of food before."

"This wonderful little cafe/restaurant was recommended to us by a local resident of Ketchikan, I’m so pleased that she pointed us to it. Fresh, flavoursome food. Asian fusion in style. I had the Pineapple Teriyaki bowl with grilled chicken, it was delicious. Great coffee too. I also recommend the Vanilla Maple Jade Matcha. Just Dandy is a delight; in a town full of tourist restaurants, it stands out as a place that cares about food and cares about all its customers, not just the cruise shop tourists. If you’re in Ketchikan, pay a visit, you wont regret it."

"⸻ 5 Stars - A Hidden Gem for Plant-Based Foodies! Just Dandy Apothecary & Cafe is hands down the best plant-based restaurant in town! The food is incredibly creative, delicious, and healthy — every dish feels like it was made with intention and love. As a vegan, I’m so thankful to have a spot like this that truly understands how to make plant-based meals exciting and satisfying. The restaurant itself is cozy with great vibes, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Ketchikan, this place is a must-visit. 100% recommend! Thank you for feeding the vegans and doing it so well!"
