Welcome to Aaka's Place
What is an "Aaka"?
It is your Mema, Grandma, or G-Ma. whatever you call her, she is special. Going to Aaka's Place was such a wonderful experience for me as a child. My Aaka & Mom are my inspiration for development of an Indigenous eatery filled with Indigenous coffees, teas, & a bit of my culture's comfort foods. I hope you enjoy my qaqqiamiks (Iñupiat doughnuts) as much as I do.
A Decade of Crafting Inupiat Comfort, One Doughnut at a Time
Inspired by the rich traditions of her Aaka and mother, Myra's journey began a decade ago with a vision for Aaka's Place. Aaka's Place, fondly known as "NiÄ¡isa" or "Let's Eat" in Iñupiaq, welcomes you to savor authentic Indigenous comfort foods, creating a warm and inviting space where cultural heritage and culinary delight intertwine.
