Delivery across Alaska

Who We Are
Northbound Cafe began as a small roadside farm stand at the Knik River Bridge in Palmer in 2021. What started with a simple goal — bringing fresh, local food to the community — has since grown into a traveling mobile café serving communities across Alaska.
Northbound Cafe believes good food should feel local, honest, and accessible. Whether parked in a small rural community, at a local market, or along the roadside, the goal remains the same: to bring fresh food, warm coffee, and a little piece of Alaska to the people they serve.
Northbound Cafe isn’t just a café on wheels — it’s a reflection of Alaska’s independent spirit, hard work, and connection to the land.

Meet the founders

Founded by Chris and Emily Roady in 2021
Northbound Cafe is built around more than coffee.
Living off grid in Houston, Alaska, they understand firsthand the challenges many Alaskans face when it comes to access, affordability, and fresh food.
Chris and Emily are passionate foragers and lifelong lovers of Alaska’s wild harvests.
Every August through October, they personally hand-pick wild Alaska blueberries daily — a tradition that has become one of the heartbeats of the business.
Alongside fresh-picked blueberries, Northbound Cafe offers coffee, fresh produce, foraged foods, baked goods, honey, and locally sourced products from farmers, bakers, restaurants, beekeepers, and other Alaskan vendors.
