Review from Katie O.

While browsing the market, my friend complained that she would die shortly if she was not caffeinated. We quickly found Petit Ami and ordered our drinks. While it was a bit hot at first, when it reached my tongue, it was quite pleasant.
I too survived that day with the help of Petit Ami. -

The latte was solid but not thick enough. There's a slight bitter taste to it which some people may like.
Thumbs up for being organic and estate grown. -

Everyone in Vancouver has a cup of coffee, especially in the cold weather.
This place is one of the better coffee venues within the Granville Market.
Very nice coffee drinks, especially for dipping your chocolate almond croissant. -

This little shop has always been my favourite coffee stop on Granville Island. The beans used are organic, fairly trade, estate-grown and roasted locally in small batches. The quality of the beans certainly shows in the taste of the coffee. Strong, rich and flavourful every time. In fact I think the coffee has improved over the years.
Situated inside the public market, one would often find a busker playing in front of Petit Ami in the midst of the busy thoroughfares of the market.
Service is friendly, and they offer good quality treats as well.
I've seen many other coffee shops appear, and sadly the busiest are the chains such as Starbucks and JJ Bean, yet Petit Ami is still the best of them all. -

Fair trade gets me everytime. So much in fact that I risked getting kicked out of a Fringe Festival performance by sneaking in my fair trade americano, in the sleeve of my shirt!
But back to the coffee and the space. It's hustle and bustle at this intersection of the market, with a busker's area on one side and an entrance way on the other. But it's worth being bumped into while waiting in the usually short line up for a killer cup of joe. My americano was a little bitter, but my tastebuds may have been a little frazzled on the skor cookie I had just demolished from Suart's.
The best part of the whole experience though is the fact that they don't have white sugar. They have plantation sugar in the big sugar holders usually filled with white sugar. I'm sold, just on that alone! -

A good coffee find in the Granville Island Public Market.... A medium roast was requested but the pot was empty when I went to pump it.... therefore, I settled for the Peru Dark Roast instead (there was also a light roast available). Surprisingly, it was very nice and aromatic, and I usually can't handle dark roasts The coffee was also very hot which is how I like my coffee!
They have a large selection of coffee beans and a good variety of coffees and lattes. -

No line on a busy sunny Sunday afternoon?
Nice.
Served up a decent latte pour moi. A bit bitter for my delicate taste buds, but I will let this one slide as I was ecstatic to not be waiting in the other insane coffee lineups.
Cool lil spot.
I will try it again next time.Listed in: Vancouver's best Lattes

On my last few trips Petit Ami's espresso hasn't been so good. Too long shots, and bitter... you might not notice if you're drinking a latté, or go for drip coffee, but I am an espresso-only girl.
I still love the service here, but if you're dedicated to espresso, might be better to wait in line at JJ Bean.Listed in: Granville Island Picks and…, Coffee Coffee Coffee
