Really good baked goods and good coffee, pizza on Friday nights! They mill their own grain and bake their bread in a wood fired oven. Hidden away in an industrial area, but well worth the trip.

If you have the time, we recommend walking along the riverfront up to the CPR Bridge, which is ~4km from our house. The bridge itself is a wooden train bridge, with a pedestrian walkway alongside the train tracks. In the spring and summer you can see White pelicans at the Weir, and on the other side of the bridge is the University of Saskatchewan grounds, with more trails and a sculpture garden.
