We had the regular breakfast sandwich (added cheese) and the sausage breakfast sandwich. The milk bun with the regular sandwich was really soft and tasty. Both sandwiches were nice and freshly made. A bit pricey but a nice treat. The vegan cookie was also very yummy - oatmeal, chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds and cranberries. We also had gotten two muffins for a daytime snack that were soft, fluffy and fresh.

There were a lot of people and many stayed for a long time, so it was hard to get a seat. I recommend getting your order to go. The bagels and sandwiches were delicious.

Ordered an Americano and a latte. The coffee was rich and smooth, but the latte art could use some improvement. Overall taste was good, the restaurant environment was comfortable, a nice place to relax, though the prices are a bit on the expensive side.

Easily the most lovely coffee shop we tried in Yellowknife. A very cosy dining environment with local art on the walls + tasty food and drink. The service was excellent (the barista with red hair was super friendly and welcoming to tourists!).

Salmon bagel is nice, music is good. Price is quite affordable. Even opens in Sunday. The only problem is parking. To be honest, this place is almost superior than any restaurant nearby.

Review of Birchwood Cafe in Yellowknife, Canada (4 Stars) Birchwood Cafe is a charming spot and probably the best place in Yellowknife to grab a quality coffee. My wife and I stopped by for breakfast, and overall, it was a lovely experience with just a few minor points keeping it from being a full five stars. I ordered a hot vanilla latte, which was excellent—smooth, perfectly balanced, and just the right amount of sweetness. My wife opted for the iced vanilla latte, and she agreed it was just as fantastic. It’s clear they take their coffee seriously, and it shows in the taste and presentation. We both tried the sausage breakfast sandwich on our first visit and it was fresh-tasting with quality ingredients. The bun was soft, the egg cooked perfectly, and the overall combination was satisfying. My only critique is that the sausage itself, while locally made (a nice touch!), had a bit of a bland flavor that didn’t quite stand out. Still, I appreciated the effort to use locally sourced ingredients, which adds to the cafe’s charm and ethos. The breakfast sandwich with bacon proves to be our favorite offering, just add cheese. One downside to the experience was the lack of WiFi, which might be a drawback for those looking to work or linger while enjoying their coffee. However, the cozy ambiance and friendly staff made up for it, and it’s a great spot to relax and recharge. In summary, Birchwood Cafe is a delightful place to enjoy a well-crafted coffee and a fresh, locally inspired meal. While the sausage wasn’t quite to my taste, everything else was excellent, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Yellowknife. It’s a standout among local cafes and worth a visit.

It’s alright, nice cozy little stop to rest and chill for a bit in the afternoon if you’re tired. Convenient area to recharge a bit.
