The woman-owned shop moved into the former Cafe Clash space after a full gut renovation and comes from the team behind the former 907 Bagel food truck, which closed in 2024.\n\nThe shop sold out of bagels by noon on its opening day, a sign of pent-up demand after fans spent two years asking when the bagels would return.\n\nLittle Rituals is sourcing locally, serving bagels from Wooden Spoons and coffee from Chugach Coffee Roasters. For now it operates during the day, but the owners plan to add evening hours with beer and wine, live music, paint nights and karaoke, along with a patio out front once weather allows.\n\nThe opening adds another storefront to a stretch of downtown Anchorage that has seen turnover in recent years.",
