Best coffee in Saskatoon

The best coffee in Saskatoon isn't a chain. It's the independent café where the barista dials in espresso every morning, the roastery that names the farm on the bag, the brew bar that takes filter as seriously as espresso. Roasters maps 7 of them.

A quick test for any café in Saskatoon: ask what is on filter today. A specialty bar will name the origin, the process and often the producer, and brew it to order.
