Elwood's Drive Thru

Elwood's Coffee Shop is the go-to spot for the best fast food in town, hands down. Their Buddha bowl is a standout, crafted with an abundance of healthy ingredients that you won't want to miss. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a quick, nutritious meal option.

Wonderful place!! Love to go here with my spouse and someday, hope to bring my kid here too. Splendid food, friendly people. The only "downside" is how busy it gets sometimes! If you want amazing food, delicious slurpables and excellent customer service, just be prepared for a little wait :)

Just moved to Palmer and stumbled upon this gem! Their menu has a little bit of everything! The girl working was super sweet; really great customer service. Excited to have this wonderful place nearby.

I have to update my review because this place really is the BEST. My kids and I come often now, and it’s always perfect. I went last week and the pineapple ice cream wasn’t working right. So instead, the girls offered and quickly made us chocolate sundaes! They really go above and beyond. Every single person working there is so incredibly kind and you can’t find that anywhere. They have the best customer service by far.

This has become our weekly Saturday stop. The lotus drinks are delicious and we always get one of the gluten free sandwiches or Buddha bowls. We've tried several of the sandwiches and they have all been amazing. Awesome work, thank you!

Awesome coffee drive through! I loved that it’s right off the Palmer-Wasilla highway right on Palmer. My Americans was great and my grandson loved his blueberry muffin. Super friendly staff!

Always great coffee! The food is delicious, breakfast or lunch. Try the Italian Grilled Cheese. YUM! Best baristas in town! FAST SERVICE and KIND SMILES!

Great coffee and food. The Buddha bowl is my favorite... well maybe the Affagato is... can’t decide. Find unique options with quality ingredients and Kaladi Brothers coffee here.

Stopped by for the first time yesterday on our way home after we spent the day at Jim’s creek. All I have to say is OMG… I’m obsessed with this place. I wanted everything on the menu it was hard to choose. My husband and I got pineapple and watermelon dole whips (tasted just like Disneyland) and my son got a rainbow snow cone. I also got the Buddha bowl to try and now I’ll never be able to eat anything again because everything will compare to how amazing it was😂 I need the recipe because I need to make this multiple times a week since I don’t live close enough. PLEASE consider opening a location in eagle river, I would literally come every day! We need better food options in ER, this place would thrive.

We love the Buddha bowls here and their wide selection of drinks and other options on the menu. Always friendly service here. Definitely recommend.

I absolutely love coffee & Lotus’ & Elwoods exceeds all expectations of both. Then you add in a Buddha Bowl & you have the perfect combination. Excellent staff & excellent food & drinks. So excited they came to Palmer!!

Okay my drink was BEAUTIFUL and delicious! I got the Reuben and it was flavorful and HIT THE SPOT. Got grilled cheese, and egg and cheese sandwich for the kids, love the serving size, love the packaging, kids loved the food! I’ve had the Buddha bowls in the past and they are super filling and great for something healthy and quick.

Amazing experience! I got the Buddha Bowl and I think I found my new favorite food, it was so good! Drinks, food and service were absolutely amazing! And it’s a local family owned business!

This past weekend we went to Elwoods for the first time. My wife and I and our kids got shaved ice. It was a record hot day and the shaved ice was very good! The girls working there are friendly and have great customer service. We will definitely be back to try some other stuff off their menu. Thank you!!

The food looked good. The service was awesome. The atmosphere was calm and soothing. Would totally recommend.

Love this place. My family loves their coffee, and the Buddha bowls are addicting!😊

I love this place! I love their coffee but have a few great options for coffee. It’s there Buddha bowls! They are amazing and it brings me back over and over. They are a delicious healthy option when I need a fast dairy free option for lunch or dinner.

The staff here is great. Buddha Bowls are amazing.

Elwoods is one of my favorite drive-thru lunch spots! I drive from Meadow Lakes weekly to get one of their buddha bowls. They have the sweetest baristas and best customer service. They are always quick and their prices are reasonable. They have an array of drink options, and they are one of the only places that I know of to serve Dole Whip soft serve. It's amazing! I highly recommend this place.

Incredible food and coffee, with obvious pride of ownership! Love to support these local ladies!

The Buddha Bowl does not disappoint! So flavorful and packed to the brim. I love the chorks! They also made a kickin' iced latte :)
