Serves meat, vegan options available. Has 3 vegan sandwiches and many of the other dishes can be made vegan. Also has vegan and gluten free baked goods.
Several Vegan sandwiches, I had the Vegan BLT and it was delicious! Somehow they made delicious “bacon” from eggplant. I could have eaten a platter of it on its own! Amazing sauce on the sandwich. Too yummy to stop and take a picture! Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Inclusive environment. Check it out!
Good coffee, lots of tasty vegan food and bakery options with everything clearly marked. No extra charge for plant based milk. I've had the vegan breakfast sandwiches and the amped Reuben sandwich and loved both!
Baking and breakfast panini are amazing to pick up on the way to the cottage! Also a quiet cafe to study in. Their vegan pop tart is super cute and tasty! Note that the vegan panini is not on their menu but can be made vegan for you!
Edit: the vegan Rueben is even more delish!
First time trying this cafe. I got the vanilla blondie and it was super good. I also tried their banana chocolate muffin and it tasted like it was baked 10 minutes ago, super fresh.
The service at this place is atrocious. I went twice and the first time I almost left without ordering and the second time I did. Staff literally staring right at you, talking amongst themselves with zero acknowledgment that you even exist.
The pastries aren't that great for vegan and gluten free although the pumpkin shortbread cookie was amazing everything else was mediocre.
I won't be back for a third try. I cannot tolerate a business with such poor service.
I was in Saskatoon for a conference. My hotel was around that corner. Not many vegan options, but the (chickpea) sandwich I ordered was extremely good and brought me back multiple times for breakfast.
Lovely light filled cafe with a relaxed vibe and plenty of outlets for laptop.
Lots of labeled options, as I write that statement it reminds me that I like to know what I'm eating is vegan and not have to ask! This little spot is full of sunshine, lovely energy, and great food!
They have so many delicious vegan baked goods- we enjoyed a POP TART (!!!), caramel pecan bar, and huge peanut butter blondie. We were only in Saskatoon for the weekend but are planning to stop again on our way out of town!
The women behind the counter were sweet to make me a veganized sandwich, even at 9am in the morning. It was tasty! Plus two decadent vegan cookies and a very good muffin. Great place for Saskatoon to have.
I find that Citizen has low-quality food, so that even when there are vegan options, they aren't very good. I once ordered a sandwich and I think it was made with Wonderbread or some other cheap, nasty stuff. It does have quite a lot of dairy-free baking, but last time I was there and asked why many of the same items had recently changed from vegan to dairy-free, the employee didn't know (and didn't offer to check).
A great cafe serving one vegan sandwich (Currently the "Hall"), with the option of changing one other vegetarian sandwich into a vegan one (Order "Beets by Dre" and sub hummus instead of cheese). Daily soup is vegan, and salad is vegan without cheese. They also have several vegan baked goods including cookies and brownies and have several alternative milk options for beverages.
Loved going to a place with a variety of vegan options. My boyfriend is not vegan, and he also had options! Loved the decor of the restaurant and the service was quick and friendly.
