Fantastic coffee shop. Owner is a huge community supporter for BC artists. The coffee is roasted on site in small batches so it's always fresh. The food offerings are very tasty and fresh too. You can't beat the atmosphere, so relaxing and chill. Highly recommend you check it out.

Very cute little cafe close by my workplace and I had no idea! I came in one early afternoon on a day off and it was just a nice cozy place to spend a cold winter day. I had a matcha latte with their 3-cheese grilled sandwich. The interior was decorated beautifully and had a chill vibe to it. You could also see the view of the vast mountains off in the distance. Highly recommend you check out this gem of a place!

We came to The Den on Canada Day. The line was long, but customers looked happy so we just waited our turn. We got a coffee, a matcha, a Canadian Caesar, and a Naked Fox IPA. We sat inside where was a bit warmer. The staff were so nice and the room was cozy. They have a little library and board game selection. You could spend hours in here. You’ll love it. I recommend it.

A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Snacks in Quesnel! If you're passing through Quesnel or live nearby, this spot should absolutely be on your radar. Hands down, it’s the best place in town for quality coffee and snacks. I stopped in for brunch and was blown away by the combination of great food, friendly service, and an inviting atmosphere. First, let's talk coffee. Their specialty coffees are some of the best I’ve had—smooth, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re a latte lover or prefer something bold like an Americano, there’s something for every coffee enthusiast. They even offer local twists and seasonal specials that are worth trying. The food menu is equally impressive. I had the grilled cheese, and it was phenomenal—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and served with a side of fresh local ingredients that made it feel like more than just your average sandwich. Their selection of local treats, from baked goods to grab-and-go snacks, is a nice touch, showcasing some of the region's best producers. The atmosphere is another highlight. It’s warm, cozy, and beautifully designed—whether you’re meeting a friend, getting some work done, or just enjoying a quiet moment, you’ll feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure you’re well taken care of. They clearly care about creating a welcoming environment, and it shows. Price-wise, it’s very reasonable. For CA$10–20 per person, you get excellent food and drink in a setting that feels far more upscale than the price tag suggests. The value is unbeatable for what you receive. If you’re in Quesnel, this is the spot to check out for quality coffee, amazing snacks, and top-notch service. Whether you’re dining in or just grabbing something quick, you won’t be disappointed! Highly recommended.
