Grandma Lee's Bakery & Cafe, tucked into the heart of Saskatoon's North End, is a spot that local office workers and neighborhood regulars turn to when they want a straightforward, satisfying lunch or a comforting breakfast. This cafe leans heavily on homemade quality, with a menu focused on fresh sandwiches and hot soups that feel like they’ve been prepared with care rather than rushed out the door.

Visitors can expect a clean, no-frills atmosphere where the emphasis is on the food rather than ambiance frills. It’s the kind of place that fills up during weekday lunch hours with people looking for a reliable spot to refuel—whether that’s grabbing a breakfast sandwich to start the day or enjoying a hot bowl of soup when the Saskatoon chill sets in. The sandwiches come on freshly baked bread, and the soups arrive piping hot, making it clear that freshness is a priority here.

While the prices might be a little above what you'd typically pay for a quick lunch elsewhere, the food quality justifies it. Homemade touches are evident across the menu, from the hearty hot meals to the daily-baked desserts sitting behind the counter—perfect for treating yourself after a midday meal. Service is friendly and efficient, supporting a steady but relaxed pace that's welcomed by patrons on both quick breaks and casual lunches.

This is a place for anyone who appreciates simple, nourishing meals made from scratch, whether you’re a local worker nearby or someone passing through the neighborhood looking for a genuine, homey cafe experience. Mornings and lunch hours during weekdays are when it’s busiest—and best to visit if you want to catch that well-loved sandwich and fresh soup combo before word spreads too far.

I eat here at least a couple times a month for lunch. It's the best Grandma Lee's in the North End for sure, maybe in the whole city. Excellent service, always clean, sandwiches and soup are delicious, and the hot meals are too. Everything tastes homemade. Yummy desserts, everything made fresh each day.

The price is a little higher than what you would normally pay anywhere else for a quick lunch but the quality of the food far exceeds most places out there as it's all homemade and fresh.

Always an excellent meal waiting at Grandma Lee’s on Venture Cres Saskatoon. We had a baby shower there in November 2023 and Tina made us a delicious supper meal! A wonderful place for a private gathering. Great food at a great price.
