Phantom House | Cafés of the World

The Chatanika Lodge has a very different interior to most cafes we’ve seen, and an exterior to match. You can order coffee, so it is technically a café, but most of the customers were drinking more fiery beverages!

As you can see, it's a bit more frontier-era in appearance from the outside than most other cafes, and has a definitely different interior design!

It was freezing cold when we visited - well, it is Alaska - so cold outside that the photographer froze his lip to the camera tripod, and had to part company with a fair bit of skin to detach himself… he's had a crooked smile ever since.

"COFFEE SHARPENS THE MIND"

The café shown here is in Alaska, in a place called Chatanika, near Fairbanks
