I think this might have been one of the first places I went to when I moved to Saskatoon 15 years ago. I probably go about once a year when someone comes to visit. I miss their milkshake, I think it was chai? It was to die for. I’ve been there for the brunch buffet and it was the best one, in my opinion, in Saskatoon. I’ve enjoyed the warm lentil salad a few times, and I just really like that it’s a prairie based business and that there’s a bookstore to browse before/after you eat. It’s a really great place to go when you are meeting out-of-towners.
very good food but slow service and long wait for your food very expensive. But a nice place very busy and to loud Thu say live music plays but i think the space it to small for that
Going book shopping and getting cake is one of my absolute favourite things to do in Saskatoon and has been for years. The cakes are always amazing (And I really mean always because I have gotten cake here every other week for at least the past 10 years). The food is usually good, but not amazing. I honestly just come for the cake!
The vegan chocolate cake is amazing! Really good soups as well. Service was friendly and prompt and she was very attentive to my dietary restrictions.
Food was a bit dry but the jam for the toast was a tasty blend. Very nice ambiance though. Would come back to this place to try again as I saw some interesting lattes
Pros: Went for lunch. Had the most amazing carrot ginger coconut soup. Will definitely be back. The waitress was very nice. Unfortunately, the she politely refused to give us the recipe for the soup (lol).
Cons: Not the most comfortable tables and chairs to eat at, but I do enjoy that the kitchen is open to the restaurant. My only suggestion to management is to clean the fixtures hanging from the ceiling. I realize they are high up, but could use regular maintenance.
The desserts looked phenomenal. Will be back soon.
I've only been here for coffees and dessert. I have always really enjoyed it. Would like to come back for lunch or supper. Service is always really good.
I had the northern pike cakes, which were excellent, full of flavour. My partner had the chicken club, which he seemed pleased with. The Caesar side salads were good and plentiful. I did not have room for dessert but would consider coming back for that, but overall the atmosphere is not my fave (loud, crowded, too open) dropping the rating down to a 3.5.
Service is pretty slow but it's understandable because their kitchen is so tiny! Delicious food though and friendly staff. The wait times can be long but that's ok because perusing McNally Robinson can occupy your time before your table is ready!
Yummm great desert awesome soup sandwiches are fresh this place is great love grabbing lunch here. I like afternoons here little quieter sane fantastic quality. Great i return as often as i can
Very nice cafeteria located inside the bookstore. They have a nice selection of decent size entrees and desserts. Last time I discovered their milkshakes and would 100% recommend ordering one as they are delicious and not expensive. So far our servers have always been very polite and patient while taking our order.
My all time escape place! A great restaurant with cozy environment and very friendly service providers! The foods are delicious and it’s actually e very nice place to hangout or spend some quality me-time! I had the coffee, breakfast items and soups. All of them are mouthwatering and the serving is quite good. I do recommend everyone to visit this place.
Amazing service and the food here is always top notch! Their teriyaki rice bowl is my all time favorite. Their carrot cake is heavenly, you will not be disappointed!
The best steak and shrimp for $25 you can buy. It was under seasoned but cooked perfectly and for the price you cannot beat it. I would have given it a 5 star but the chef left the rubber band on my broccoli (got a $5 discount) and the service was SUPER slow. Out of 7 employees there appeared to be only one server for the full restaurant. Aug 27 @1700
Enjoyed the early morning atmosphere and two fresh baked cookies as a pre-shopping snack. The host and waitress were very kind and attentive as well as the bakery staff. Restaurant area was clean and well arranged. We've also come in numerous times before for lunches and dinners and the food is always fresh and delicious.
This restaurant is top notch. I love the intimate atmosphere and the quality menu. I haven't had a thing on this menu that wasn't presented well or tastes great. The staff are friendly and the desserts are fabulous. I'm always tempted to get a latte and a lemonade as they are both great and Always leave room for dessert, even if it's just to take home. You won't regret it.
The Arugula Salad is incredible. The wait staff are very friendly. The menu has something for everyone. And what could be better than a restaurant right inside a bookstore??
Awesome atmosphere and delicious deserts.
We had Schmoo Torte and Flourless Chocolate Torte. I think the best desert I had in weeks or months!
