The Kobuk was purchased
in 1993 by siblings Michael, Nina, and Deborah Bonito, making it a real family affair. We now specialize in coffee,
tea and china. The old fashioned charm of the original building still lingers, along with the scent of our spicy house
tea, dubbed 'Samovar' after the Russian brewing pot.
As a family owned and operated business, we take enormous pride in our products, and hope that you'll find something
here that you like. And remember - if you don't see what your looking for, send us an email and we'll do our best
to find it for you.
We look forward to doing business with you.

| The Kobuk as it is today. |
Although it was previously opened under the name Goldpan
Gifts, Kobuk Coffee Company was established in 1969 by Patsy James. Goldpan was renowned as an eclectic Anchorage trading
post, carrying everything from Eskimo artifacts to bone china cups and saucers. In the early 70's, well ahead of the gourmet
coffee craze, Patsy began to sell a variety of whole bean specialty coffees and added the name Kobuk Coffee Company to the
existing store.
