Saying you have the best baking within a 100-mile radius doesn’t always mean much in Alaska where 100 miles is often the distance to the nearest gas station, but, take it on trust, the homemade cookies at Java are to visiting homo sapiens what salmon is to Kodiak’s oversized bears. It also serves mean soups, sandwiches and salads.
Java is located at Bell's Flats, 10 miles south of Kodiak town, but it's well worth the journey – even if you’re cycling.
