Was in a rush, so couldn't really appreciate the atmosphere, but it certainly felt nice and cozy in there, with people relaxing. A nice friendly English lady greeted me (felt like home), and I got a short latte. Yes, short! Sometimes 12oz is too much, is nice to have the choice, guys.
Nice creamy latte, quite strong too. And fast, despite being in such a packed, crowded area on a late Saturday afternoon. -

I visited here looking for a coffee shop with wifi. Ordered a drip coffee and a muffin. The coffee that I got was weak and not tasty and the muffin that I ordered to go with it was days (not just day-old) old.
The staff was friendly and courteous and the shop is nicely situated beside the duckpond and playground.
While the free wifi offered is good, I am afraid that my experience says that is one of the best things that they have to offer. -

Pedros is the gateway to decent coffee and a childrens playground. On any given summer Saturday morning grab a coffee, and a friend for a chat, or even a great book and lounge on the back patio. You'll watch children feeding geese, imagining themselves sailing on the high sea and getting brain freezes from their gelato scooped next door.
The atmosphere inside is like any old coffee shop (perhaps akin to bojangles in yaletown), with appetizing looking pastries and friendly baristas, but it's the outside energy that makes this place a star on its own. -

I would give it four stars, but for the prices. Call it the "Granville Island tourist premium." A couple of ice teas and pastries set us back $13 and change. But it earned us the right to enjoy Pedro's big back patio looking out over the pond where ducks, Canada geese and seagulls all frolic peacefully together in the sunshine, tralala. It's also a great spot for people watching. Heck be darned, it's so calming here I don't even mind the sound of other people's children.
Note to the stroller set: Pedro's does pride itself on being kid-friendly, going so far as to reserve the little back room with toys and games for the use of parents with children.
I probably wouldn't come here in winter, though, as the interior of the cafe is quite narrow and cramped. But in sunny weather, it's almost perfect for a chill time with caffeine. -

This is certainly a lovely location to sit and relax out of the mayhem of the market. The cafe is very cute and there's no shortage of activity to entertain.
The owner is all about business, so not so much about chit chat.
The coffee itself is billed as organic and fair trade, however the fair trade part is in QUOTES! That gets my eyebrow up.
Over all good cup, not a bad break :-) -

I really love this place. Not only is it organic and "green", but it has the perfect location and an even more perfect patio out back. On a sunny day, the patio is spilling onto the waters surrounding Granville Island. It's a great place to spend a lazy afternoon with either your own reading, or something from their shelves. The aroma of the coffee is enticing and invites you in to have more.
I really like the smoothies, especially the raspberry one! It's the perfect remedy when you're overheating from those rare super sunny days in Vancouver!Listed in: Brunch Munch!

I should know better by now, but I am always a little nervous to order coffee from a place I haven't been to before. I have had my share of bad coffee by taking a chance on a new place, but what kind of sissy would I be if I couldn't take one for the team once in awhile, right? Luckily for me, Pedro knows good coffee, not burnt coffee! They use organic beans here and it clearly makes all the difference. The process is beyond me but I trust them to know it well and they definitely do!
I most often get my drink to go but should you be in need of a foot rest and a dry space, Pedro's offers a lovely setting for doing just that. Local acrylic artworks hang from the walls and the ambiance is warm and cozy with soft lounge chairs in the corner and smaller tables nearby. Should you be in need of sustenance or a treat, Pedro's also serves up great baked muffins and scones, as well as fresh wraps and sandwiches. -

I've not partaken in all of the joys Pedro's has to offer: it's usually a matter of ordering a coffee to go then heading off to the Public Market or for a waterside walk. Service hasn't been overly friendly, but it is polite and prompt. The coffee tastes well-balanced and medium strength. It's always hot.
Whether for a sweet snack or cuppa coffee, Pedro's is a great pit stop. Although I'd personally save my cravings for sweets to indulge at the nearby Public Market. -

I used to come here all the time to do work. I'd bring my laptop and sit outside on one of their tables in the sun. They never minded me sitting here for hours on end, but I always made sure to buy a couple of drinks and some food.
The location of Pedro's is great, right at the entrance to Granville Island and just beside a cute little duck pond. There are often young kids feeding the ducks and looking for turtles but I never found the noise to be a problem.
The food was fresh and included sandwiches, baked goods, as well as my favourite; their wraps. These came with crispy chips and a salad on the side. This café also makes some delicious organic coffee.
The staff here are polite and the atmosphere inside Pedro's is that of a cosey little cottage. It is small, but friendly and very inviting. All in all Pedro's is a very pleasant experience. -

This is a good place to grab a quick coffee or a chai, or have a meeting and chill out in the chairs. Right at the entrance of Granville Island and the kids park. They also have treats for a suger low, but i rather grab something fresh from something on the island.

Pedro's is the perfect place to stop to fuel up on caffeine before hitting up the rest of Granville Island. They make a great soy latte! There's plenty of indoor seating if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy your beverage, but if it's a nice day you'll probably want to head out through the back to watch the ducks on the water.

Located right at the entrance to Granville Island, this is the perfect first stop on your Sunday morning stroll. The coffee here is delicious and, as the name denotes, organic. They have their own means of "flavourlocking" their coffee to ensure a high degree of freshness. If it matters to you, there's a ring of complicated philosophy surrounding their brewing techniques, preparation methods and the principles they uphold that's available for in-store reading or through their website. For me, however, my primary concern is whether they produce good, strong coffee, which they do.
