Alright.... so I have had doughnuts across Canada and always try to stop at a local doughnut shop…read morein every city I go to and this far, to date (Sept 2019), Darkside Doughnuts is probably one of my favorites. Some friends and I were in Saskatoon for a powerlifting competition and I mean if you know anything about strength sports, you know that we love sweets and cheat meals so a perfect reason to stop. We got half a dozen of assorted doughnuts - mine was the dark fudge - and they were delicious. They weren't huge like some fancy doughnuts and they weren't super dense and dry like others. I loved that the doughnut was chewy but not cakey (I thought of the texture like a chewy tasty dinner roll) and that the icing/glaze wasn't too sweet but still wonderfully sticky and thick. My friends got the carrot cake fritter and the strawberry cream. Both said great things about their choices. My only regret is that I didn't buy more and I don't know when I'll be able to go back and have more. If you're in Saskatoon, go check it out. If you're there and driving back to Edmonton, pick up half a dozen and bring them back to me.

A delicious but pricey doughnut shop…read more Atmosphere: 4/5 - Modern & sleek but not a lot of seating available. Price: $$$/5 - Average for premium doughnuts but still expensive (ie// higher than you'll pay at Tims). Customer Service: 4/5 - Server was polite. Service was very quick. Location: 3/5 - Close to Victoria Park, the river & transit. Kind of out of the way for most people though. Taste: 5/5 - Amazing, best doughnuts in Saskatoon. Great texture. Large size. Menu: 4/5 - Menu is a little smaller than I would prefer but they have excellent & unique flavours that are constantly changing each month. Vegan friendly. Sustainability: 2/5 - Darkside appears to care about the community but doesn't have any sustainable initiatives other than using local flour. Strengths - Delicious Weaknesses - Lacking in sustainable initiatives, expensive. Good items to buy: Coffee + Doughnut (I got saskatoon berry available in August 2019). Summary: 3.7/5 - Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by Darkside Donuts if you are looking for a treat. They have some of the best doughnuts in Saskatoon. Their menu is small but changes each month encouraging you to return again and again. One thing I wish is that Darkside would make some sustainable initiatives as well as tout the fact that they are using local flour more as that is something I know many people care about. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope it helps you!!

This place may be called the Hometown Diner but the food is unlike any other diner you have been…read moreto! It is unique, flavourful and worth coming back for (we went twice in the three days we were in the city!) The service was amazing! They are hopping busy but so friendly and willing to explain the menu item. The owners are all about locally sourcing the food so the perogies and sausages are handmade in the province! And they are passionate about making good food - there is nothing bad on the menu. The vibe is an upscale diner. Easy going and somewhere you will want to come back to. Perhaps in the afternoon to have a coffee and a homemade daily special donut??? Didn't get one of those this time.... Guess I know where I'll be stopping on my next trip to the city!

California always gushes about the avocado toast and I was finally able to try it here at Hometown Diner! It was delicious. This version had a bit too much lime or lemon juice on it for my tastebuds but it was still appetizing. It is called the Avotoast. My boyfriend ordered the Traditional Breakfast meal and found it very on point to his standards.

My boyfriend ended up getting some coffee drink which was good but what I really loved was the timbits we got along with it! Now the timbits come in all these different flavors but the chocolate ones are by far the best (and I'm not even that big on chocolate). Give this a go if in the area!

Has anyone heard of a little coffee shop called Tim Horton's?…read more It is great place for a coffee and pastry. Also, they have some sandwiches.

We went on a Wednesday for their wings special and there were still 15 mins before happy hour…read moreended so we were able to also get $5 snacks and happy hour drink. For wings, we ordered our usual fav - Maple Bacon Rub and I wanted something different so we also ordered Salted Caramel. I personally loved the salted caramel but Mr C prefers the maple bacon rub. Both flavours = highly recommend tho it gets messy since it's sticky but honestly - worth. the. mess. They also provide wipes for you to clean your hands so get as messy as you want! For our snack, we ordered the Hogtown Baked Riblets and it was a no for us. WAYYYYYYYYYYY too salty even with the sauce. I had one piece and couldn't have any more but Mr C managed to eat a couple more pieces so it wouldn't be wasted. Definitely won't be ordering this again unfortunately ‍ They were quite busy but the service was still excellent we sat outside as it was just perfect patio season We love Hudson's so we'll definitely be back to try out more flavours (and their pretzel bites ).
