A small but lovely coffee shop. The staff member who helped me was super nice and helpful. I had their summer coconut matcha iced latte with soy milk. Yum.

I was pleasantly surprised they had some space outside where I could sit with my dog.

A 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 Yellowknife!

Try Canada style coffee.

The espresso style is very watery.
Double shot is provided for all cups regardless of cup size.
Choose the strength of your drink by cup size without adjusting the shot!

If you love coffee like me, but it's your first time in Canada,
I recommend a warm batch brew rather than a hot brew.

Decaf coffee is available.
If you think about Korean coffee and bakeries, you might be disappointed.
Selling the most authentic coffee in Yellowknife.
Almond croissant pretty good.

In general, Yellowknife's Google Map ratings are all good. please refer to this!

They were very rude to us for no reason. The food is bad.

Edit: the owner reached out and we had a conversation about the experience. He was very helpful and thoughtful. I appreciated the follow up.

Great little coffee shop, well worth the walk! Delicious almond croissant and rejuvenating americano. Take a moment to enjoy the little jars by the entrance to smell the different coffee beans!

I preferred a double shot americano but the barista accidentally made a single shot. After she found, she just added ready made pour over coffee to my americano.

On a cold Winter morning grabbing a dirty Chai for the road was awesome. Washed down a green tea brownie with it. Well done on the roast. Bold flavor for sure. The local soaps were a nice touch to walk away with also.
