I recently discovered a true gem in Yellowknife - Barren Ground Coffee. Tucked away in a cozy corner of the city, this local coffee cafe quickly became my go-to spot for my daily caffeine fix. Here's why I love it:
First and foremost, the coffee is outstanding. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I'm always on the hunt for a perfectly brewed cup of joe, and Barren Ground Coffee delivers every time. The beans are freshly roasted in-house, and the baristas clearly take pride in their craft. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water, and the rich, robust flavor is simply divine.
The atmosphere at Barren Ground Coffee is equally delightful. The cafe has a warm and welcoming ambiance with rustic decor and comfortable seating, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends, work on your laptop, or simply enjoy some alone time with your favorite book. The friendly and knowledgeable staff add to the charm of the place, making you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.
One thing that sets Barren Ground Coffee apart is their commitment to sustainability. They use eco-friendly cups, straws, and utensils, and their emphasis on reducing waste and supporting local suppliers is commendable. It's refreshing to see a local business taking steps to minimize their environmental impact.
Another highlight of Barren Ground Coffee is their delicious selection of treats. From freshly baked pastries to scrumptious sandwiches, their menu offers something for everyone. I particularly enjoy their homemade cookies, which are the perfect accompaniment to my coffee. The quality and taste of their food are consistently excellent, and it's evident that they use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Lastly, the location of Barren Ground Coffee is ideal. It's conveniently situated in the heart of Yellowknife, making it easily accessible for both locals and tourists alike. Parking is readily available nearby, and the cafe's central location makes it a convenient stop during a busy day of exploring the city.

   Read moreA small and cute hidden gem! This café is definitely on the cozy side with not much space, but it has a great vibe and feels popular with locals, it was pretty busy when I visited. The staff were nice and you choose what kind of roast/coffee bean type you'd like for your espresso (pretty cool, never experienced this). Tons of coffee options to pick from (see menu picture), and mine was tasty and well-made.
Food-wise, the menu is limited but has enough for a quick bite. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was simple and delicious. Coffee and sandwich came to just over $20, so prices are normal for a good local spot (not cheap, but not outrageous either).
Highly recommend if you're looking for quality coffee and friendly service. Support local. I'll definitely be back in my next visit to...

This is a must-visit coffee cafe(restaurant) if you visit Yellowknife. Not only the coffee but also the avo toast with or without egg was very delicious. Sandwich is also good.
This place is very famous for its coffee, and when I tried it, it was really good and you'll be satisfied no matter what type of coffee you order. For reference, it was so delicious that we ate a lot per person. Generally, if you order coffee and a sandwich per person, it costs between $10 and $20. Also, the staff are all very friendly and pleasant.
I don't normally write reviews, but I was so satisfied that I couldn't help...
