Granville Island Picks and Pans

1. Petit Ami
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 682-4044
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
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…More »

Petit Ami is my favourite of all the Granville Island public market coffee places. It's always my… Read more »
2. Oyama Sausage Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 327-7407
Categories:
Meat Shops,
Cheese Shops
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
If you like meat, oh boy, do I have the place for you!
Don't let the name fool you, sausage is only a tiny portion of the cured meats, charcuterie and salumi available here. The meat selection is incredible and puts your average deli to shame (try…More »
3. Stock Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 687-2433
Category:
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The soup is really, really good. You can eat in or take away refrigerated soups in surprisingly durable plastic bags.
This is a great place to pick up stock if you don't have the time or the inclination to whip it up yourself. I'm not sure what's in…More »
4. Granville Island Tea Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 683-7491
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
In all the hustle and bustle of the Granville Island public market, don't forget to settle down and have a nice cup of tea, or take some leaves with you to go.
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and there's a great selection of tea here, at good…More »
5. South China Seas Trading Company
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 681-5402
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
This place is the reason I come to Granville Island so often, and I just call it "the spice store". I'm always looking for fresh spices and ingredients, and South China Seas has the best and widest selection of any store in Vancouver. Very well…More »
6. Aquabus
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 689-5858
Categories:
Boating,
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
The rainbow Aquabus boats are so cute and colourful that I've always enjoyed seeing them puttering to and fro from Granville Island. But I thought it was "touristy" for years, and so I didn't even take one until I was showing some visiting kids…More »
7. Edie Hats
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
(604) 683-4270
Category:
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
It's pretty simple: I love hats, and this is the best store to buy them in Vancouver, whether you're looking for something trendy, classic, or even suitable for church or a wedding. It is always a little crowded (both with people, and hundreds and…More »
8. Paper-Ya
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S2
(604) 684-2531
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
In every corner you will find another treasure, whether it's cards, little bags, beautiful journals (not just Moleskines), pens, stamps, inks, etc. And of course, the sheets of gorgeous paper that the shop is named after. As a typography fan, I love…More »
9. Hillary Morris - Beaver Pond
Vancouver, BC V6H 4G9
(604) 682-1993
Category:
Art Galleries
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Hillary Morris paints pictures of Vancouver. At her store you can buy prints and calendars and cards and shopping bags (and many other things) with her lovely images of scenes around the city. Many of her items would make great gifts or souvenirs,…More »
10. Zara's Deli
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 683-2935
Categories:
Specialty Food,
Delis
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Zara's is my pick of Granville Island's two Italian delis. I rely on their tasty yam gnocchi for bite-size pasta goodness, and their fresh pestos are delicious. Along with their fresh pasta, pestos, bocconcini, sausages and they have a great…More »
11. Stuart's Bakery
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-8816
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Stuart's Bakery is actually a branch of Max's Delicatessen & Bakery, the venerable Oak St bakery/deli. Nearly all the same stuff - especially the delicious breads, which are all worth recommending. However, my review of a bakery lives or dies by…More »
12. La Baguette et L'echalote
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S2
(604) 684-1351
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
As a former Montrealer I have high expectations for a French bakery, and La Baguette et L'echatote falls far, far short. If you've ever lived in a primarily francophone city with a lot of French or Belgian immigrants (or spent a lot of time in…More »
13. Lee's Donuts of Granville Island
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 685-4021
Category:
Doughnuts
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Sugar rush! I have never had a better doughnut. Ever. Krispy Kreme? You must be kidding. Tim Horton's? Don't even start... The cakey atrocity they sell at Starbucks? Oh hell no...
Lee's Donuts is the real deal. These are fresh made, fresh…More »
