Extremely tiny, not all coffee types were available. However the guy was nice and took time to answer questions

(Translated) The only in-house roasted coffee shop in Yellowknife. Founded in Old Town in 2017, moved to Downtown at the end of 2019. Basically, organic beans are purchased by fair trade and roasted little by little. It is currently open only from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, but it is well worth a visit if you are a coffee lover and are in Yellowknife on the weekend. At a small cafe with only a counter, you can enjoy fragrant coffee with drip. Coffee beans, coffee-related equipment, T-shirts and hats are also on sale. Coffee beans are also available at the gift shop at the airport, so you can buy them as souvenirs. (Original) イエローナイフで唯一の自家焙煎珈琲店。2017年オールドタウンで創業、2019年末ダウンタウンに移転。基本的にフェアトレードでオーガニックの豆を仕入れて少量ずつ焙煎。現在は土・日曜の午前9時半〜午後2時半だけの限定営業ですが、コーヒー好きで週末にイエローナイフにいるなら訪ねる価値は十分あります。カウンターだけの小さなカフェでは、香り高いコーヒーをドリップで楽しませてくれます。コーヒー豆やコーヒー関連の器具、Tシャツや帽子なども販売されています。コーヒー豆は、空港内のギフトショップにもあるので、お土産にお買い求めください。

The best pour-over in town, lovingly brewed.

Best coffee in Yellowknife

Jelmer Schuurman

Staff is super friendly and passionate about their coffee. This is our weekly morning coffee treat. Always went for their americano but today I tried the cappuccino. Oh my.. so good! Baked goods really yummy too. But be quick, they sell out quickly ????

Marianne Binion

Ordered our coffee online. Quick delivery to Whistler BC! Enjoyed all 4 of our selections. Will keep on ordering. Thanks Barren Ground Coffee!

Douglas Bourhill

Great coffee and even better people. Highly recommend.

Christopher Buchanan

We have a coffee subscription from Barren Ground at our office. The coffee smells and tastes amazing. It's fresh and not burnt at all. Their delivery of the beans to our office was super quick too. I highly recommend getting their beans!

Fantastic Coffee. My partner and I were visiting for the Valentine Weekend and departed Sunday. It's funny, because we were trying to find a good coffee shop while we were here and had no success. The day we left to head back to Alberta we noticed this place from across the road from where we were staying (don't know how we never saw this) so popped in before heading to the airport. Will definitely be back when we come back to YN. Friendly service and great vibe.

Keating Smith

Yellowknife small business ingenuity of the finest calibre! Their coffee and pastries are really good too!

Best little cafe in Yellowknife. A must for every morning.

I fell in love with their Guatemala Huehuetenango Medium Roast in the summer! I live too far away to get to the shop, but can support by ordering from afar.

Sandra Bowden

I so appreciate the quality of service and delivery from Barren Ground Coffee, but most of all I appreciate drinking their delicious coffee! Thank you!

Trent Hamm

Amazing service, incredible tasting coffee, reasonably priced for the taste, and the detailed stories about each product showed a depth of knowledge I haven’t seen at other shops. These guys know their coffee! Just ask them! Definitely a 5 star coffee experience!

Cody Drygeese

Incredibly helpful staff with Incredible coffee

Derrick Noort

Great coffee, we will definitely be going back :)

Jane Saunders

I haven’t been able to drink any of my old favourite brands since I first tried Barren Ground Coffee. It is just SO satisfying.

Matt Hoover

Excellent coffee from hard working locals, what's not to like about that??

Elyse Vanderpost

This is my favourite coffee. It was sold last summer out of our greenhouse so I was so excited to grab myself some more in the dead of winter! Walked in and they weren’t actually open, the guy was just roasting batches. He kindly let me choose some coffees to buy and take home anyways! Thank you so much!!!

Ben Linaker

Great coffee and fantastic, friendly staff. I took a coffee drinking course and learned a tonne about coffee, roasting and growing. Some much fun!

Jackie Siegel

Delicious and friendly staff!

Jennifer Badger Bennink

Amazing coffee!

Llyanina Lora

My favorite spot in town, baristas are always in good mood, quick service and delicious coffee and goodies.

Dave Secord

Love these guys. Visited their roastery in YK last year, and have been getting 5lb bags of Ethiopia Guji delicious light roast monthly since the pandemic started in March. It is sent seamlessly to our door on Salt Spring Island, BC.

Pierre Pomerleau

Very good coffee

P Smith

Great coffee and friendly staff. Always fun to see what baked treats they have available.

(Translated) I'm roasting coffee myself so it smells so good inside I'll give you a cup of hand drip coffee in a small cup, but it smells good and delicious. The price is about 4 dollars? If you want to enjoy a latte, you can pour milk in a small fridge under your feet. (Remember that the amount of money was different.) This cafe also sells t-shirts, hats, and cups. Tighten Only for coffee takeout. It's going to be cold in winter, but in summer, it's a sunny day when you go up the pilot monument just above the coffee shop. There are a few benches and it's great to sit there and drink! (Original) 직접 커피를 볶고 있어서 안에 들어가면 냄새가 너무 좋아요! 작은 컵에 핸드드립으로 내린 커피를 주시는데 향이 좋고 맛있어요. 가격은 4불정도? 라떼로 즐기시고 싶은 분들은 발밑에 작은 냉장고안에 우유를 부어 드시면됩니다 (라뗴는 금액이 달랐던 걸로 기억해요) 이 카페만의 티셔츠, 모자, 컵 등도 판매하고 있어요 내부는 굉장히 작아서 성인 3,4명 서있으면 꽉 찹니다. 커피 테이크 아웃 전용이에요. 겨울은 추울것같은데 여름시즌엔 날씨 화창한 날 커피 사서 바로 위에 파일럿 모뉴먼트 올라가는 길로 올라가면 정말 작은 공원? 벤치 몇개 있는데 거기 앉아서 마시면 너무 좋습니다!

Great coffee and treats

Wendy Tingley

The best coffee ever..Fresh ground made in coffee press every morning. No shipping fee if you order over $65

Nathalie STpier

I attended a workshop about coffee brewing and it was fun and informative. I had a great time...and the coffee was delicious! Thanks to the guys of Barren Ground Coffee

Tyler Kydd

Great coffee!!!

J G

You can't beat locally roasted, fresh coffee. Love Barren Ground's dark roasts, and decaf. Eric and Corey are friendly and knowledgeable. A great addition to Old Town!

Amanda Johnson

Excellent product, and always very quick delivery. Can’t wait to go back to the shop in person.

Julia

Coffee was amazing. Expensive but you get what you pay for. There wasn't much selection for beans on Sunday afternoon, so best to go on Saturday when everything is in stock.

K Pollock

Awesome coffee , fun merchandise, great people. You can't go wrong!

Tamika Best

Quaint little coffee shop that comes with some good witty banter. Coffee is always made perfectly, and the baked goods are always mouth watering!

Navjot S

Best coffee I've ever had!

Todd Holland

AWESOME COFFEE!!! AWESOME SERVICE!!!

Kajsa Heyes

We had our beans shipped to us and they were prefect. It's so hard to find freshly roasted coffee that's also roasted properly in the North. I'm so excited that this place exists now!

p allen

Excellent coffee, especially pour over, and amazing knowledge of brewing techniques

Jacqueline DB

We first tried BGC at Blachford Lake Lodge and raved about it. When we got back to Yellowknife, we ordered ground coffee online from Barren Ground and the next day, we had freshly roasted, rich, delicious coffee on the front step. It has made getting up every morning a much happier experience. Thanks, BGC! You are awesome!

Jaime Goddard

My favourite coffee, and getting fresh roasted beans delivered to our door is pretty awesome.

Norm Binion

The Barren Ground Ethiopian coffee is absolutely delicious! Aromatic and tasty!We're enjoying it on wintery days in Whistler.

Cole Birkett

Hot coffee, hot staff.
