Birchwood: Reviews & Ratings
Birchwood is a quaint cafe where friends, colleagues, tourists, students...gather for great house made coffee and homemade food/bites. The Americano coffee delightful. The salmon baguel delish! A must visit for anyone in town
Cozy little cafe with great breakfast and beverages. I ordered the waffle egger and large chai, definitely too much but worth it.
This is a very lovely and cozy cafe that I can’t recommend enough if you’re in Yellowknife. They have a big drink and food menu and lots of alternative milk options. I had the bannock BLT and latte with oat milk, both of which were great. They don’t open on the weekend though so keep that in mind.
10/10 would recommend! Delicious food and drinks and the vibe is excellent — love the artwork everywhere too !
We are in town for Aurora viewing and found this local gem. Great coffee, great breakfast sandwiches! We had ours on sourdough. And their oatmeal chocolate chip cookie filled with chocolate chips, cranberry and pumpkin seeds are to die for. Especially if you get them fresh out of the oven!
We came to Yellowknife for a weekend and found this great cafe across from our hotel. The staff were super friendly, the pecan sticky bun was delish, and our barely was amazing and well priced! Highly recommend this local cafe!
Excellent, locally roasted coffee. I recommend the cortado, salmon bagel, and giant chocolate chip cookies! I try and stop in every week!
Cute cafe in the heart of town with friendly staff, delicious coffee, and tasty food options.
