The other day I went for lunch at Grassroots Cafe, in the Alloy Collision Centre (haha what?) at the Wyant Group auto mall (haha WHAT?). Grassroots Cafe is part of Grassroots Restaurant Group, i.e. Saskatoon's claim to food fame, Chef Dale McKay. It was excellent!
I would never have even heard of this tiny cafe if my sisters didn't go to the Sage Beauty Bar in the same building for eyelash extensions. Listen, I'm as confused as you are as to why people are getting eyelash extensions at the auto mall, but I also went there and got a delicious sandwich next to what appeared to be a small car museum, so maybe we just need to accept that none of this makes sense. It almost has zero online presence and is not included on the Grassroots OR Alloy websites. It's like a speakeasy for artisanal sandwiches - it looks like you're walking into a building to ask about fixing your car but really you're just there to get lunch.
The menu is limited to a few sandwiches, a couple salads, and one daily soup. However, all three of us were really impressed by our meals, and the prices were reasonable, especially considering the food quality. Everything was extremely flavourful and fresh. I mostly work from home in Stonebridge and also have a few friends with offices in the neighbourhood, so this will probably become our new go-to lunch spot!
Sorry, new to blogging in the Instagram era, did not take pictures.
Ooooh, I love a good soup and sandwich! Putting this on the go-to list!
