The Griffin Takeaway - Saskatoon

Griffin has offered a great selection of delicious vegans, but their ginger cookies and their brownies are especially amazing. the salted erdnus brew is perfection; it is rich and fudgy like a brownie should (not loose and cake-y) and the salt marries perfect with the sweet of brownie. I cannot recommend this very much.

I love their baking! Hubby ordered me a birthday cake for my 50th it was so yummy, he also brought home ginger snaps and brownies... Great way to start a new decade! I had tomato soup and a vegan BLT and it was amazing and huge!

This place is not vegetarian, last time I was there they had a pulled pork sandwich and a chicken salad sandwich. The options they do have are all good, but I know that the food sometimes comes into contact with animal products and have been given a meat sandwich by accident once, and have found pork on my bread with other sandwiches in the past. I have tried updating the information on Happy Cow, however, for some reason, the place remains listed as being vegetarian. It is not. Updated from previous review on 2013-10-23

I'll try most any place that advertises vegan offerings, especially in a small city like Saskatoon where there are few options. I love baked goods, and this place is the real deal. I have oodles of disappointing cakes, squares, etc., all over the world, but the salt water caramel brownie I had at the Griffin is easily the best vegan baked good I've had in my extensive travels in Europe, Canada, and the US. I tried the strawberry crisp, which also was nice. My one regret is that I didn't try more things out--that'll have to wait until the next time I'm in Saskatoon. They had some great looking puddings and cookies in their display case as well, and all the vegan offerings were well marked. These guys are the real deal, and they were super friendly when I went in there as well, which is a nice bonus. The location is rather nondescript, but don't be put off by that. My one complaint is that the name is not descriptive enough: you really can't tell what it is by its name. That might keep people away. (ps, this isn't my first review on Happycow, but I somehow forgot my login...

How have I been gluten-free for 2 years and not know about this jewel? truly to die for cupcakes! the best gluten-free, vegan and nut-free cupcakes I ever had! I think they're much better than normal cupcakes. griffin takes custom commands, and nutritional requirements seriously, and I was so excited about their ability to do this. Many thanks that they are a wonderful part of the YXE community!
