A little curious as to what this restaurant is trying to be, but the saving grace is that the cheesecakes and service are pretty decent. What I mean by that is - well, you know how red flags are raised when a restaurant has way too many things on their menu? The reasoning there is that there's no way someone can be good at making THAT many dishes. Well, when I walked into Calories, I just wasn't really sure what it was trying to be. The storefront looks like a cute cafe, the cash and display case make it look like a bakery, the bar behind makes it look like a homey pub, and the tables in the back make it look like a nice fancy restaurant. So I was pretty confused about what kind of place this was. Nevertheless, we sat down and ordered a slice of the toffee cheesecake and a slice of the Saskatoon berry lemon yogurt cheesecake. I had been hearing rave reviews about the toffee all weekend, and although the texture is perfectly creamy and crust is beautifully crumby, was it worth the $10 for a single slice? Not sure. The berry cheesecake had a wonderful lemon flavor, but it tasted a little stale, like it had been in the case for a day or two. Our server was personable, friendly, and very professional. A nice place to come once when visiting town, but I'm not sure how often I would come if I was a local. read more

I am a Calories fan!!! For special occasions. It enables me to create my own ambiance at home, without needing to bake, n I'm very particular. Why? Because I'm a professional 20+ yr retired baker myself!! So, I want the best quality for my money. If I'm going to spend, give me the best, n it's found here. The desserts are made from scratch, and are fresh every time. Beware, lol, you'll be tempted to buy 1/2 or the entire dessert!! However, because it's made right, it will last in your fridge until it's gone. They use top ingredients, that's why. Taste the difference, here. The owners are great, and dedicated. Club Sandwich is great!!! I also love their holiday meal specials. In fact, last year, I gave gifts away, from this place. What a great way, to celebrate the holidays!! When people already have everything, buy them this. Because it helps make memories for them at home. read more

Came here to see their dessert selection and they have a beautiful, well-lit, well-labeled pastry case! I always find this can either make or break a sale. It was clean, organized and the cakes looked delectable! We ordered the Oreo cheesecake, hazelnut torte, shmoo torte and strawberry cheesecake. All were fantastic, although slightly overpriced $7/hazelnut, $11/cheesecake. We came back the next day and ordered the strawberry cheesecake again, however it must have been a day old as it was not nearly as delicious as the first day. Would like to return to try their lunch/brunch menu. read more

What a lovely spot. It looks like an ordinary coffee cafe spot but is actually a great place to come before a show atvthe Broadway Theatre. Ordered a bowl of Beef and Brown Onion Soup with an Ahi Tuna Burger. Both were very good. The service was excellent and the whole preshow evening was perfect. read more

Went for a romantic Friday night dinner. Empty upstairs except for 2 tables having dessets and tea... I reserved a cozy table. As soon as we got there they wanted to status at a 2 top right next to 2 girls .. why when there were bigger tables available. We are dining, Not having coffee. Server was pleasant just not super informative with her beer or wine. The food was fine. Best part was the small appetizer of scallop and pork belly. I will skip some other parts that weren't exceptional because I know times are tough to fund proper staff etc. The part that bugged us the most was the sound, how you could hear everyone's conversations, just wasn't quite what we had hoped for. They should have the dining area for dining only ! And out of New York style vanilla cheesecake . :( Just our opinion . We will skip dinner again but will go back for coffee and desserts read more

I first heard about Calories from my mom, who used to eat here while attending university. I was a bit worried about going here at 12:30 for lunch, but it didn't start filling up until closer to one. The staff and super attentive and they have a nice lunch menu. Just make sure to note the address, as the exterior is currently being refurbished to when it was first built. I went with the chickpea and rapini bowl, which tasted great! The chickpeas were nice and spicy. The meal also came with a choice of side. I went with the zucchini and corn soup. I found it sweet, but still tasty. The portion was large and for $15, it was a steal. My grandpa had their quiche of the day. He said it was super warm, so make sure to wait for it to cool down first. He also ordered a side of the vegetable and pork soup for $3. We were sitting right next to the dessert case, which looked absolutely delicious. A few people came and picked up cake slices to-go. I will definitely be back to try one, but I was super full after the meal. read more

I think about calories often. I loved their food. We had a wedding to attend in saskatoon and it somehow fell on my bday! We are from charleston and didn't know where to go and found calories. The food was so fresh and delicious! You cross the border and the ingredients are sooo much better! I really wish I could make their harissa dish (it's a bunch of veggies chickpeas in seasonings and butter) While I may never go back to saskatoon, I do hope I get the recipe for that dish! Pleaaase Their desserts were also phenomenal. We went there about 4-5 times during our stay! I hope it did well during the pandemic. read more

The food was solid. We went for dinner and enjoyed it. It wasn't a WOW meal, but I'm going back. I have faith in them. The staff are great!

The burgers (beef and lentil) are quite tasty and so are the variety of desserts available. Food is above average and menu could be expanded a bit more. Finding parking can be time consuming and limited at times. Prices are reasonable, average. read more

A funky space on Broadway. Everyone was super friendly. The wine and beer list were extensive. We had the $20 three course meal, and while the portions were on the small side, the flavors and presentation made up for it. Had some hanger steak on a mushroom herb polenta. The polenta was amazing. Dessert with a blueberry cake thingy with whipped cream, yum. Went back again last night and had a flourless chocolate almond cherry cake, again great. Highly recommend!! read more

On a recent trip to Saskatoon my in-laws treated me to a dinner at this straight forwardly named bistro. First impressions are that the young waiter who served will need some practice at making recommendations and getting his ordering down BUT the food and drink that came was creative and delicious. Calories specializes in locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. It being winter the dinner menu was short but intriguing. I went for a duck special which included Indian spiced eggplant and chickpeas. Tasty! Other items at the table included roasted root veggies with a lentil ragout and melted Raclette, steak and frites with red wine gravy, and roasted pepper stuffed chicken breast. All delicious. I've been ordering my new favorite cocktail, a French 75 and the one I had here has been the best yet. It is usually comprised of lemon, gin or vodka and bubbly. Calories adds house-made bitters and this elevates their '75 to a whole new level. read more

This is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Perfect for date night, dessert with friends or family brunch. I have never had an issue getting a table for two without a reservation however for special occasions it is best to do so (which you can complete online!). The menu is local with a French cuisine twist. I specifically enjoy that there are wine pairings suggested for every appetizer and entrée and highly recommend you try them. The service is professional and well-educated on the menu, wines and more, and they are always willing to accommodate to your needs. Lastly when you fall in love with their desserts, you can order 1/2 or a full cake by just calling in and placing an order for pick up, which is the perfect gift for all special occasions! Living near Broadway you must try this place, it's Saskatoon's little gem. read more

One of my favourite places for dessert and a good quality dinner as well. The place is somewhere between home-y and fine dining, but it works. I love the art on the walls, and my girlfriend and I frequently go there when we are looking to have dessert and coffee. Love this place and hope it never changes. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Saskatoon. Farm to table, local ingredients, amazing menu... and the changing weekend features always tantalize the tongue. The staff are friendly and warm and quick to offer recommendations. Even showing up just before closing they are kind and don't make you feel rushed. The chocolate patè, cremè brulee, and the cheese plate are amongst my favorites. Highly recommended and get a reservation.... it's just an experience and a meal all at once. read more

Yummy! I have tried quite a few things and it never seems to disappoint. The brunch is really good! I feel they're lacking a bit in the social media/advertising side of things. I rarely see them post so I don't go there as much as I might if I was enticed by some photos/advertising. read more

Food decent, service poor. Waited over an hour for a burger of all things, limited menu, our waitress came to us after we'd sat for 15 minutes, then almost an hour wait, had to ask for drink refills when the food came. Too many good restaurants in the neighbourhood for me to even consider patronizing Calories again. read more

Friendly staff and the mains are well balanced. I had the frites which was delicious, and my mom had the sweet pancakes which were fantastic. Good level of service. Only downside is we went in at 11AM and they sat us at the very back so it was a little dark and loud near the kitchen. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Its a formal restaurant that doesn't confine itself in its formality. Its small comfortable atmosphere is very appealing. And its food its absolutely amazing. That being said the best thing on the menu is the desert... IF YOU GO HERE YOU HAVE TO GET THE CHEESECAKE. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Saskatoon. read more

This is my go-to place for dessert every time I visit Saskatoon. Their cheesecakes are incredibly delicious, as are their power cookies (kind of like a trail mix cookie) and gluten-free cookies (so my husband says). I've tried their tea lattes and they are also equally delicious and go well with their desserts. They also serve dinner here, but I've never tried it - their desserts always get me and I know I can rely on them to nip my sugar fix. It's a great place to dine in - great ambiance, cozy without being too intimate, good for meeting up with friends or on a date! read more

This place has really gone downhill. Service was challenged by the numerous tables cashing out that we waited 15 minutes to order. They brought the wrong bread, the entree was subpar. The bill was discounted to make up for it, but the one star still stands. read more

Went here with my mom. Had a wonderful meal. This was a while ago but the mushroom risotto was amazing. Also brought desserts from here to a friend's dinner party. I, of course, credited Calories and they were very popular. read more

Schmoo cake! Irish Cream cheesecake! Chocolate Celebration Cake! Wow they were all fabulous. Great staff. Got to sit by the kitchen and see all the fabulous food coming out. Took willpower to not order more food it smelled so good. Been here for breakfast, now have to come for supper! read more

Had a great meal at Calories. It was very busy so we were glad we made a reservation. Dinner was great. Dessert was better.

I came here on a date and it was an excellent choice! By far my favourite meal so far in Saskatoon. We shared the mussels to start (divine!) and I enjoyed the chanterelle mushroom ravioli. Worth every dime! Atmosphere was also delightful, service was also very excellent. read more

I have been offered "Foir Gras" for Christmas. Looks good in a standard little pot. UNFORTUNATELY it was filled with 40% of duck FAT... Yes, that yellow solid fat that costs nothing... Just a little on the top is acceptable, but 40% or more is just disappointing. read more

I think I judged Calories too quickly based on a single experience. I've been back since on a friend's suggestion, and have had some delicious vegetarian dishes and desserts. I especially like their macarons. Plus, the owner reached out to me and offered a gift card to make things right - not necessary, but classy anyhow. I retract my previous review wholeheartedly! read more

I came here for cheese cake with some friends at Christmas. The interior is decorated beautifully. The servers were friendly. The best part was the desert. They have a variety of options for to choose from and they were all delicious. read more

I will never buy dessert from this place again. The picture I attached is of the $10 piece of cheesecake that my wife brought home. She asked for a piece of cheesecake to go, they took payment, and handed her a take out box. When she got home we were shocked at how little you get for such a high price. And it wasn't very good... tasted like old coffee grounds and cream cheese. I called to speak with the manager and she simply told me they cut slices based on what the owner tells them to do and seemed annoyed at my call and was trying to cut the call off. Do NOT go here for dessert... read more

I get the Oreo cheesecake every time. YUM!! Much better than the Cheesecake Factory! Right on Broadway which is such a cute street. Outdoor seating is great in the summer. Atmosphere is cute and a great place a couple or friends. Service is professional. Meals look delicious too but I've only gone for coffee and cheesecake and it's the best spot to go out for a special dessert :) read more

Very accommodating with our large group of ten. The steaks were not fantastic and I wouldn't recommend ordering them. The special, a pork chop, was amazing. The apps were all wonderful and well worth the price. The pasta dish was a flavourless and the kids meal was lacking ... a cold cut dish with chopped up veggies. The desserts were amazing, we had a torte, cheesecake and two different chocolate dishes. It was definitely worth a visit for the dessert, at the very least. read more

The portion sizes were tiny for the appetizers. I ordered scallops and only got 2 with a bunch of unnecessary toppings. The pancetta salad was absolutely drenched in balsamic vinegar and served with a side of olives that were not conducive to the dish. The entree, a pasta special with a walnut basil pesto and a fillet of beef, had a lot of potential but sadly was dry and overcooked. We waited too long and paid too much for a subpar meal. read more

Nice atmosphere, desserts in display when you walk in, made in house. Went with a party of 5. I ordered the special which was organic beef (6oz steak) with potato pieces and asparagus. Dinner was good, however not great. The steak was cooked to order (medium) however it was not as tender as I was expecting. There were 3 tiny spears of asparagus and some potato wedges covered in a good bacon type sauce. I felt it was a little overpriced for what you got. Some of my friends ordered dessert, which looked good. I would check it out if in Saskatoon but i found it nothing to rave about. read more

Love it! One of divine restaurants in town. It is pricy but with supreme local fresh ingredients. Good service and mouth watering dessert. It is really a hidden gem in Saskatoon. If your local friends treat you there, it means that you are a really special guest. read more

Worst breakfast I have ever had. Do NOT order the French toast. It tasted like it was soaked in egg and put on a plate. Not cooked at all. We told the server it was undercooked and she proceeded to tell us that is how it is suppose to be. I didn't eat but 2 bites of it and my husband suffered through one slice and they still ended up charging us 25$ read more

Impressive menu. So many great choices! Food very good. One minor issue is service got a bit slow after meal was served. Would go back in a heartbeat read more

I have been a great fan of this restaurant for many years. I praise them for their success in this small prairie community. Their selection of wine is well thought out and enjoyed an exceptional wine from their collection. The vegetable soup left me thinking that Campbell's soup would have been more satisfying. The heirloom tomato salad was rich and wonderful. My main course "Lamb" - "Chef's preparation" avoid at all cost. For the price of the main course you'd be best advised to choose something else on the menu...or order it for your dog and take it home for them. Dessert...well...the magic has never left...I think they should stick to dessert. Hands down any selection you make you will not be disappointed. Wait staff - extremely polite and attentive. I found the timing to be a little off but not extraordinarily unbearable. My individual waitress was polite and admitted she was new to the place. She was pleasant and apologetic but I suggest a little more training in informing the guest about the menu. I must admit as a guest I did make the mistake assuming what my main course was going to be...I should have pursued the waitress on a better explanation of "Chef's preparation". All and all I will come back to enjoy their many desserts. As for dinner I will take my $75 dollars and prepare my meal at home. read more
