Stopped in quick to pick up a couple coffees to go...enjoyable americano. ???? It was incredibly hot water used which in this instance was great because I was heading to the other side of the city. Parking was tight but available...treats looked amazing, almost tempted into grabbing one of the Mexican hot chocolate cookies but resisted.
Great little cafe. Not the "common" fare at ordinary restaurants
Great spot they do a really good job of lattes
I would say it's a tad pricey but the gluten free options are excellent.
Best breakfast sandwich in the city! Carrot cake & vegan brownie are my favourite. Go here and support a great small business that is really trying to make a difference in Saskatoon.
One of my absolute favorite coffee shops in the city! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and one of the only places in the city that uses carrageenan free, no sugar added almond milk (this is not easy to find now days it seems). And the absolute best gluten free scones!! Gluten free wraps are also to die for. This local gem offers more than just good coffee! We are lucky to have Citizen Cafe in Saskatoon.
Great local place. Fresh items made daily. Great variety
You know what... my experience was less than okay. I felt emotional insulted by the staff. My friend Jim also got food poisoning from the muffins. He is in the hospital very touch and go at the moment. He will be fine. Very disappointed. My coffee was tasty tho
A lot of people ask me if I'd ever be married to a restaurant. No, because it's too hard to spell. Thank god for autocorrect on that one. A cafe, however.... The prices were not crazy, and holy snaggle, best sandwich Ive ever tried. I got the Sammy with the chicken and bacon and, ya. I'm now pro polygamy. Citizen, will you marry me?
Always great food and coffee, a welcoming cafe for individuals and families.
Wonderful spot, very hip. Delicious food.
Coffee is great service is awesome
Love this local coffee shop! Great coffee, delicious food and you have to try the "pop tarts".
Yummy gingerbread latte. Nice atmosphere.
Tasty coffee and baked goods. Outstanding staff and laid back atmosphere. Absolutely love it here
I love the Citizen! Their vegan and vegetarian options are fantastic! Not only do they have killer sandwiches, they have great bevvies, and fantastic baked goods! The pop tarts are a must-try! Plus kombucha on tap! Yummers!
Bought an iced goji berry tea and it is soooo delicious The baked goods are made in a bakery with nuts, though, (the last time I asked, anyway) and some in the case contained them, I think. :(
Best Macha in town.
Service
The food is great, the drinks are great and the owners are lovely. That being said, unfortunately the staff are consistently unfriendly and sometimes even rude. There is never a smile, never any sort of effort to engage and no signs that they actually give a care about being there and providing the service. I work close by and have been there multiple times but today was my last visit. I hate to post a negative review but I waited for a nice experience that never came.
Can't say enough good things. Charming Cafe in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. Well worth the trip!
Five Star Cafe. Breakfast and Lunch.
Sandwiches are very delicious but my experience wasn’t top notch.. there seems to be some sort of lack of organization between the staff and operation. As my friend and I were waiting for our food to be made, someone came in with a pickup order, which she had to wait another five minutes and had to remind the staff what she order and then had to remind them about the baked goods she wanted as well. Between that and the person sitting at the table nearest to us having her salad served without the dressing it just seemed off. Wouldn’t be my first choice to return again.
Staff is awesome! I was down cause my dog just passed away after getting hit by a drunk driver but once I walked into citizen I was greeted with a smile and hearty hello. I told them my story and they shared in kind. With my spirits lifted I went to the shelter and adopted a new dog, named him Citizen Cain. I had the organic fair trade coffee and the hunter sandwich. It was so delicious. I come every Tuesday now in remembrance of Tugger.
Andra is fantastic. An incredibly thoughtful and attentive server and I understand that she does the incredible baking, too!
Coffee and baked goods were awesome. I waited extra long time for my latte.
Good environment, friendly staff and great service. But in my opinion a little bit overpriced.
Meal type
My favourite coffee shop
Great local spot. Yummy baking. Try a morning roll. Great espresso too. Vegan friendly
Plain little shop. Perfect if you have dietary restrictions. Baked goods are okay for gluten free or vegan and coffee is strong. The service leaves something to be desired. Has free parking which is a bonus.
Great gluten-free options
Awesome, unique gluten free food.
The pastry is the best I have ever eaten
Excellent coffee and good breakfast.
An amazing place for vegan lunches, desserts, and coffee! I’ve been coming here to have the Frida Kahlo latte for years and it is by far the best coffee I’ve ever had. They have really fast local delivery during COVID as well, so it’s easy to support a lovely local business.
Great food Good service Tasty wheat free and dairy free options
Heavy priced but the lattes are like velvet crack. Would become broke if I worked downtown.
Really nice cafe and delicious bakery items.
They make such delicious food here and the staff is great. It loses 1 star as it is quite expensive and slow. I would recommend to anyone.
Delicious baking items & coffee, although there is a bit of a wait usually
Great cafe, will come again!
Great America no.
Great food good service....darker lighting gives the place a chilling vibe.
Wonderful cafe! I'm vegetarian and my partner is vegan and we adored this place. We were there until close last weekend and they offered us some baking that didn't sell that day and we were so happy they did that. Great place, vegetarian or not, check this place out!
Great coffee and friendly service!
Great coffee and baking!
great food great people great price
Great coffee.
1st time being at this cafe i had the most amazing hot chocolate and the biggest ginger cookie it was sooo good that I went back again the price is higher then I would normally pay but it was okay on a treat day everyone needs one of those days once in awhile
Dissapointed.. just under $6 for a cup of soup, which tastes like water. I asked for crackers and they don't have them for their soup...? I was looking forward to my 1st experience here! As I always pick up soup/ sandwich for lunch from different places in the city.. Unfortunately this cafe is the last on my list now..
The food is bland and very much so tastes freezer burned and not homemade. Coffee is straight up bad, and lukewarm, and wait times, even when the cafe is empty, are way too long. I blame management/owners for having poor supplies. Staff are polite and friendly!
Nice place
Excellent sandwiches and very friendly conscientious staff! BRAVO!
Great food and dessert!
A bit surprised that there isnt something on the menu titled "kane" . missed opportunity for sure
Dine in
Great coffee and baked goods. Friendly and fast service with a warm and welcoming ambiance.

Great food and service. Recommended.
To hipster for my blood, but passable food.
What a cool, hidden place! I like the names of menu items. The food was good. Creative use of space.
Food is delicious but every time I come in the staff never say hello or even really acknowledge my existance... maybe their thing is cold and standoffish service? At least they're honest. Great sandwiches though.
I don't go to Citizen Cafe often but when I do... Nice atmosphere, fine coffee and delicious baking. A step above the rest. If this isn't your local coffee shop make the effort to make it your destination.
Pleasant assortment of food that includes gluten free and vegan. Wide range of tea selection as well which is hard to come by. The coffee is as you would expect with nice latte art. The soft music and darker lighting gives the place a chill vibe. Only downsides are that it's a tad far from city center and the parking lot is really small and hard to get in and out of. I've also had my order get forgotten once, however, I'm not exactly sure how often it happens. Overall a nice quiet place to sit down with a hot drink.
Citizen is a wonderful LOCAL café. It has been one of my favorites for many years (since they opened in fact!), I love that they offer Vegan goodies and food (get the poptart! YOU WONT REGRET IT). The Diego Rivera Latte made dairy free is a fave, and they have a brew coffee that will make your tastebuds dance with how much flavor it has. Everyone is friendly and the owner is a gem as well! Support LOCAL businesses like these, not only do you help your community, but you find GEMS like this café!
Reviews regarding friendly staff are absolutely correct. We ordered two of the vegetarian sandwiches which were of good quality however our vegan soup and salad which we did specifically order "make it vegan" came with feta cheese. We drove-in from out of town, went straight for pickup and then drove away. I called back once we noticed, staff did apologize however did not offer a replacement or refund. We were tired from traveling and not worth driving back to return the meal.
I am from out of town and travel all over for work. I have been to this awesome place twice in a week. The vibe is great and there is lots of space to work, chat and chill. The staff have always been very pleasant and the food/drinks are good quality and well priced. I took away two stars for an issue that is unfortunately still prevalent in certain cities. The POS is not TAP which is a Public Health issue. Virtually every person consumes something they purchased. Any place that serves food should have tap so everyone does not share their germs (think gas pump) handling a machine when tap is old technology. I brought this up and the employee said I could wash my hands before I eat my sandwich. This is true, but imagine everyone did this? The washrooms would be slammed and everyone would be forced to go into a washroom prior to eating. Also, this would consume tons of water! This place is great and I will keep going, but please for Hygienic purposes, get tap (especially with all fear of a Pandemic) and I will remove this and leave 5 stars. And all of my follow people, let's push for tap at all food service establishments to help stop the spread of...
Very trendy and relaxed place to hang out with kids and friends. The baking is superb!
Staff were efficient and very friendly. I asked for recommendations and I don’t remember what they gave me was called but the cashier said it was her favourite and it was delightful. Turtle brownie is TO DIE FOR.
Awesome coffee, music, food and staff!!!
Great, cozy cafe for a delicious drink and bite to eat! Fun, yet relaxed vibe with friendly staff - would highly recommend!
I love the breakfast bacon panini.
Quiet with dynamite baked goods and competent coffee/tea. Excellent morning sun (especially in the winter) Rare, free downtown parking.
I go for the little leafy things written in my latte foam, but stay for atmosphere and staff. Sandwiches, soups, and sweet treats are good, too. :)
Great food. Excellent dining
Mexican hot chocolate cookies are to die for!
Delicious and amazing coffee
So good. This place has amazing desserts and lunch and many items are gluten and dairy free :)
Really quiet place with a great selection of lattes and sandwiches.
Good service, good coffee, free refill on brewed coffee! Chairs are cold metal though. And my table wobbled significantly.
Great coffee and treats. But when we arrived we took last parking spot and only 2 customers in store when we arrived. I suspect the dance studio next door is stealing the spots?
The company, service and coffee were all fabulously fantastic!
Pretty good sandwich (Douglas), though it took about 20 min for our order to be made. Not sure if they can speed up somehow.. Peanut butter Blondie was delicious!
It's okay I was expecting more like a bakery, but it's a cafe.
the staff was friendly and helpful. I had the Douglas sandwich with dill pickle soup and both were excellent. I was a little hesitant to try still pickle soup but glad I did!
Lunch
Pecan pie pop tart was ah-mazing!!!
Staff is awesome, and baking is second to none! Morning buns are the best! Highly recommend ????
Went to the cafe about a month ago and haven't gone back. Busy Sunday afternoon and witnessed an employee [ginger hair] berate another staff [black long hair/glasses]. Couldn't believe how inappropriate it was to treat someone like that in front of customers. I understand that busy rush hours can be stressful but did not see why being rude was an answer. The black haired young lady was very nice and apologetic when she brought my order, as it was a long waiting time. It being loud from the rush and wearing masks, I can understand that it was hard to hear. Have not seen her since. Food was okay. Can not believe this local business treats their own employees like that. I would pay not to go there.
Went there the other day and great service indeed the sandwiches were great the sun dried tomato was very good but just needs to taste a bit more like tomato. Others wise I’ll be back again
Delicious soups, salads, treats, coffees. Such a cozy spot. You gotta try it!
The barista was very helpful and kind. There wasn't a plethora of items to choose from which made the process easier. The caramel sauce is made in house and it is divine
Very good food and coffee. The tomato soup was exquisite.
Good food Vegan options Pricey for lunch but tasty and very filling Yummy looking giant baked goods Quiet Very chill
So good!
My favourite cafe on the planet,l. If you’re looking to impress visiting family/friends bring them here. Thoughtfully crafted coffee food and treats.
Excellent vegan options for sandwiches, soup and baked goods. I had the Hall sandwich which was delicious and vegan. Lil spensy for soup and sandwich but it was worth the price. Check it out for a tasty light meal
Great drinks
Good coffee and great sandwiches!
The staff was very friendly and the food okay, but the coffee was NOT the best. Like another review, it tastes like water.
Tasty coffee, great options for lactose free and vegan cookies. Get a cookie.
Had daily breakfast there for a week during a work visit to Saskatoon. Their specialty lattes are very nice. Different muffins almost daily, all delicious - banana was my favorite.
Delicious breakfast wrap, coffee and scone.
Just a fantastic little gem all around. They nail the fundamentals (brews and Americans) and have really nice specialty drinks (try the Frida Kahlo). Their hot food options and baked goods are made with care and taste like it. Really friendly service is the icing of the cake.
Must try the soup, treats and coffee. The couches are very comfortable. I really like how the furniture in the cafe feels very industrialist-like.
Always delightful!
Other
Super awesome locally owned place! Creative sandwiches, super delicious baking, great coffee and a cute welcoming interior. Mega bonus - they've extended their hours so those of us that work more 8-4/9-5 type jobs, not downtown, can pop in for a treat and a hot beverage. Will be trying a tea latte next time I'm in for sure...
Lovely little cafe in Saskatoon! Excellent gluten free treats and breakfast/lunch options! Great coffee, food and service.
Great food and drinks. Gluten free baking is some of the best in the city.
Great place for a chill family morning.
Was very pleased with the coffee here!
Great service and a good chi tea latte
Love the coffee and atmosphere.
That peanut butter blonde was amazing. ???? 5/5 on my books!
The customer service was great, the gentleman was able to mend my order due to dietary concerns and he was super friendly and the items I ordered were amazing!
Found this little jewel in town. Loved the brunch! Also it has nice and calm atmosphere. Good place to read and small chit-chat with friends.
Cozy atmosphere and very good americanos and treats. A nice place to get together with a few friends.
Great desserts and soup but the staff can be impolite and impatient at times.
I love this place but also do not go if u are in a rush. Why a sandwich takes that long is beyond me.
I always have a great meal at Citizen. Yummy food and baking. Very child friendly.
Favourite cafe by far!
The best treats I've ever had. Can't tell they're gluten free
What a lovely little spot. They make such an incredible carrot cake!!
Service
#yum! This is a great little gem in Saskatoon. Everything they make is so delicious and they are very good with alternative baking and dietary sensitivities!
Coffee
Coffee was good but the food was terrible! It was all gluten free and tasted like sadness. Every bite brought up terrible memories and all I could hear was the sound of silence by Simon & Garfunkel with every bite. Seriously the food was bad I would not recommend it unless they start serving foods with gluten in it.
Amazing treats! Coffee is decent but the treats are what you should go for.
Vegan blt is excellent!
Great treats and the latte was excellent! Off the beaten path so a nice hidden gem.
Love the atmosphere, drink selection is good, and there's plenty of parking.
I went to Citizen Cafe for the first time and I can't believe I haven't gone sooner! I ordered the Cubano latte and it's hands down the BEST latte I've ever had! I also took home some of their baked goods which were delicious and fresh! They have a good amount of seating and a very chill atmosphere-- definitely my new favourite study spot!!!
Great sandwiches. Parking is usually pretty available when I've gone, which has been on weekends.
Cute cafe!
Didn't eat but the food sounds amazing! Tons of veggie options and cookies the size of your face. And my favourite -- a prominently displayed blue recycling bin. Love it.
It was excellent
Great baking and good coffee. Coffee is 3.00 but you get a free refill. Probably the coffee shop with the best quality and selection of gluten free baking
Great coffee and cute space.
Excellent Salted caramel cappuccino (it’s called a Jacobson, here). Their pop tarts are good, especially the crust. A lot of great baked sweets! Great place.
Great coffee with interesting flavour combinations. The baked good are great. Friendly staff. Good spacing of tables, nice place for a visit for an infrequent coffee out of the house. Thanks!
The coffee is the best
My wife and I love this place. Coffee is always fresh and the baked goods are superb. You have to try everything. We love citizen so much that we have started ordering baked goods from them to give to our clients instead of donuts from you know where. Can’t wait for my next visit!!!!
Excellent service top notch carrot cake and Nanaimo bars!!
Very good coffee!! Happy to have find that little treasure !! ????
Friendly people who are cool
Friendly staff. Delicious scones, cookies, coffee, and muffins.
I eat gluten free and I really love the food and coffee at Citizen even though it's a bit pricey. But the service is so bad that I've decided I won't be going any more. The girls never smile or make you feel welcome, they greet you with a rude blank stare. You feel like you're inconveniencing them by ordering their food. The staff needs a lesson is customer service. Too bad, it'd be a great place otherwise.
Great food, good coffee and awful service. It's like the staff is mad at you for being there. I have never felt welcomed.
Best cappuccino in town!
Delicious vegan baking and lunch options. 10/10
Sat in for some food and noticed that my metal straw for my iced latte had debris inside. I got food to go and watched staff make the food without gloves on. It was appalling. Food safety handling should be strongly considered, especially during these covid times. I ended up not eating it. I would be wary of the food you order from here - you don't know how they handle it properly behind the counter.
Clean environment
Citizen is an incredibly cute and inviting coffee shop to visit. The service is impeccable as the staff is extremely friendly. The lattes are unique and tasty and I really love the food and baking!! I can't say enough great things. You must visit this coffee shop if you haven't already. It's a true gem.
Great sandwiches and coffee, good environment
Citizen has the greatest treats! My grandma is gluten free so we buy her desserts from Citizen (and eat some ourselves too). Their seasonal boxes are awesome!!
Pricey, not very good quality, even coffee wasn't that great. Ambiance was good.
Love this place if I'm feeling a cold, poorly tasting latte.
The best baking and sandwiches! A saskatoon gem!!
Good food and drinks
Awesome Kombucha and baked goodies
Absolutely fantastic place, coffee is great, food is great But to top it off the staff is outstanding. One employee there this morning really amazed me with how well they did. Making food, coffee and taking multiple peoples orders. I waited no more that 10 minutes for my coffee and sandwich during a busy time with 1 worker. One of my favorite places to go
I got a caramel pecan bar and it was sooo delicious! My friend got a shoes cookie and a chocolate peanut butter cookie and was beyond satisfied. Staff was friendly and great service. Would come again.
Had a coffee and 'The Parks' BLT, And it was fabulous. The place has a nice vibe. Would recommend :)
Great Latte
amazing baked goods
Nice coffee spot! Great desserts and nice service. I'll be back.
First visit in quite a while today, but just as amazing as any food i have previously tried. Had a sweet potato and apple soup, alongside whichever sandwich is similar to a beef dip (the name is escaping me at the moment). The soup was delicious, but the sandwich knocked it out of the park for me!! Brioche buns are always a win! Soft, fresh... awesome! Our food was served very quickly as well.
I used to really love this place but my last experience was very disappointing. So I visited a few days ago when the weather was in the single digits, perfect time for a latte right? Not so much. I opened the door with my girlfriend to go inside and we were immediately told to leave and use the walk-thru. I went to the window and they only had a very small menu to order from which and a majority of the lattes displayed had cayenne pepper in them. Sorry but that does not sound appealing at all to me. I know there is more to their menu but there was no way to look at it. The reason why i was so disappointed is because it's cold out and I would like to sit down in a warm building and drink my latte, not somewhere else or in my vehicle. That kind of really ruins the experience I thought this establishment would be trying to offer. The last disappointing thing was this was my girlfriends first experience here and needless to say she was beyond disappointed and was wondering why I talked so highly of the place. So when winter comes to do expect people to sit outside and order their coffee as well?
Love the new patio. I can’t wait to have my next latte there!
I really love their coffee and desserts here so i keep coming back, but mgmt seriously needs to do something about the surly staff. Not a fan of being treated like a burden when i patronize a business.
Good lunch spot downtown with really delicious vegan options.
Wow baking.
Great food, great staff, fantastic atmosphere!
Excellent coffee and delicious bakery items
This place has delicious food and coffee, atmosphere is great.
A great local spot featuring tasty food, great coffee, and friendly service. The tables are large and the area is great for a lunch date, grabbing a coffee with friends, or just to finish up some work!
OMG you guys have the best desserts! yum!
Amazing coffee and service and carrot cake!If you are in Saskatoon and like coffee,run,don't walk!
A great place to visit for a great tasting cup of coffee! A cut above the classic chain stores! Friendly staff that serve promptly!
Baking is delicious
My favorite place for coffee and baking in Saskatoon! A must visit.
Great service and great food. Some seriously delicious bakery items at all times. And their Douglas sandwich is literally the best sandwich I've ever had. (I get it without tomato because I'm picky)
I love that they have an online ordering system and you can go pick up without having to go inside. And they text you when it's good for pickup. I think during these times, those options really do matter. A bit of higher price, they do offer GF and vegetarian items, which is nice considering there's only a handful of cafe that are GF-friendly. Awesome to see, for the times I have ordered, that the employees were wearing masks. Unsure if it is their policy, but glad to see the times I went, that they were. Take Care
Great food and drinks. Very progressive and modern Cafe with options for vegans, vegetarians, gluten free and keto. Parking available, Great atmosphere inside, friendly staff and located right in Downtown Saskatoon. Great stop for breakfast, brunch or to meet up with friends and enjoy a coffee and drink. Enjoyed visiting several times.
Great coffee and food! Try the carrot cake and breakfast panini.
The baking is amazing! So many treats and all are delicious. Drinks are great as well! Great location, with walk up window if you so choose. Still open with separated seating inside, masks required. Support local!!
The magic moon iced tea was delicious. Not to sweet. The chocolate peanut butter cookie was one of the cookies I have ever tasted. Definitely going back!
The staff were helpful and their homemade pop tarts were delicious.
This place rules. Great food and great coffee. Highly recommend their vegan pumpkin bars and veg breakfast panini.
I love this place. They let me sit here and that's rare these days. I feel protected with their cleaning policies. They always make me feel welcome.
Came in for lunch. Had soup and sandwich, and a cappuccino. All was good. Love the pureed soup. A true weakness of mine. Definitely worth stopping in and coming back for sure.
A great little cafe with his coffee, fantastic saskatoon berry cheesecake.
It's a quiet place.
Delicious café and bakery! There are so many vegan options for desserts and they all taste fantastic--especially the poptart! They also serve savoury foods and meals. The coffee is phenominal and you can even get kombucha!
Citizen Cafe & Bakery has a very plain decor and challenging parking. However, it more than makes up for it with its interesting and delicious food, plus its amazing coffees. They offer several gluten free options and happily substitute ingredients in their coffees. One caveat, don’t let the simple decor fool you. It’s not cheap to eat there.
Picked up a box of gingerbread men and sugar cookies. They were like homemade.
One of my family's go to breakfast place. We love the vegetarian breakfast panini! Chill vibe, good coffee. Also very kids friendly so it's a great place to meet friends with babies.
