    Unfortunately they ran out of Salmon Chowder but I ended up getting Clam chowder pot pie and it was delicious. If you are planning to eat this, make sure this is the first thing you eat in the market because it is so heavy and filling that you wont be able to finish it if you already ate something else before this. It is a must try. The flaky pastry, the creamy chowder and a nice view of the water in a bustling market is quintessential for any Vancouver tourist. There was a long line on a Sunday but it moved quickly since the service was fast.

    This was such a great spot. Right off the waterway and excellent food!! We had the chicken pot pie and shepherds pie. Both were excellent!!!

    Salmon Chowder Puff Pot Pie
    Nida H.

    Delicious and a must try. We got the salmon chowder and it was so flavorful and creamy with plenty of meat. The puff pastry was perfectly flaky. Pro tip--grab a bagel from Siegels and use it to dip in the chowder once you're done with the puff pastry part. 10/10 would recommend.

    We came back for the clam chowders and it hit like three years ago. The clam chowder was creamy and salty, with small chunks of potatoes and clams. The puff pastry on top was nice and flaky but at the bottom was more buttery and was delicious when you soak it in the soup. Fast service! I am drooling thinking about it.

    Mac & Cheese Pie

    Located near the Market Grill, this spot had a pretty long line when we visited. We ordered the clam chowder and the mac & cheese pie. The clam chowder came out quickly, while the mac & cheese pie took a bit longer. The clam chowder was definitely the highlight. It was creamy, loaded with clams, but the real standout was the buttery, flaky crust. It was so good. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese pie was disappointing. It was dry, bland, and lacked the creamy, cheesy flavor I was hoping for. Overall, I'd come back for the clam chowder, but I'd skip the mac & cheese pie.

    We only had the clam chowder because they ran out of many things when we got there. It tasted fresh, even the crust was delicious. Good for sharing if you're in the food market trying different things.

    The clam chowder puff pot pie was so good! Never had anything like it before. I wish there was more clam in it, but loved the flaky pastry crust. Stabbing it with a spoon and seeing the hot, steamy calm chowder come up with the spoon was glorious. Love how the pastry crust just melted in the soup and added that buttery taste to it. My friend and I inhaled this in minutes.

    This place is amazing!!! Nestled in the far back corner of the market, you have to either be ready to wander to the depths or be ready to efficiently elbow your way straight there but it's so worth it. All their "pies" look delish & we tried the clam chowder pie and it was sooooo good!!! The puff pastry had an amazing flavor and the chowder was fantastic. Seating is first come inside (or there's outside too). So so yummy!!

    ....some of their Xmas creations....

    Service was quick and attentive from the counter. Pie crust was flaky and crispy, stew was nicely cooked through,rich and smelled beefy. Mocha was alright. On par with a Starbucks mocha. Total was 26.00 for both items A bit on the pricier side but you are paying for the Granville island vibe and scenery....

    Definitely my favorite bite of the day at Granville Public Market! It's located closest to the entrance by the Aquabus so you can have a great view of the water with your choice of a sweet or savory pie (why not both?) I ordered the clam chowder pot pie ($17.64 CAD) which were selling like hot cakes. In fact the person in front of me ordered the last one on display, so I had to wait for another fresh batch out the oven, which only took about 5-10 minutes. The clam chowder was wonderful, creamy with a distinct oceanic savoriness and chock full of baby clams and potatoes. I have to admit, this was one of the best clam chowders I've ever had, and I've had many from Neptune Oyster to Pike Place Chowder. The golden-brown layer of puff pastry on top was flaky perfection and the cherry on top. I'd really like to return to try their other pot pies, and perhaps a sweet one as well (why not?).

    Fly and dirt in lettuce
    Chow H.

    We ordered the turkey and cheese croissant, disappointed when we noticed the lettuce was unwashed and still had dirt on it. We then noticed a hair in the lettuce! When they remade the croissant for us there was still more dirt and a fly on the lettuce. We also ordered the shepherds pie, but for the price and size it wasn't worth it. 20 dollars for a small pie and a lackluster soggy salad made it a pretty terrible experience.

    You must order the clam chowder pot pie! Tasty creamy chowder with clams in every bite under a flaky and crispy pastry crust. A winner!

    Cool

    This place is smoking!! It's so smoking that the compost spoon melted/bent a bit when put in the steaming salmon chowder. It's all good. That's why they provide metal spoons! How many metal spoons they got!! Well it's def environmentally friendly. Why this place only got 3.5 stars? Are people complaining about the bread bowl? Are their other warez not up to stuff? For a 'cafe', it's not bad. In fact it's quite good. Tho this review is mostly for the pies. So without further ado... We also got the traditional clam chowder. Everything was quite yummy! Tho it's not served in a bread bowl yet the fluffy pastry on top is legit! Or lit. Or groovy. Whatever generational term you wanna use, it don't matter. It hands down beat the traditional sourdough bread bowl. Also this place might be better than that other place at Pikes Place over in the states. Yah I said it. Come at me bro!! I think the price is worth it. The ambiance/vibe is packing! The salmon chowder sells out quick so make sure you get yours! Maybe even pay ahead of time so that you would get yours when it comes out. I would definitely go back. And it's got more seating than the one in the states. Also they got lemon meringue pies! And other stuff too. It ain't just a one trick pony! Solid A+

It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

Crunchy and the inside is flavourful. - cheese tart - I think this is my favourite. Really smooth and wonderful cheese, the crust is solid and crunchy but not too much. Just really wonderful.

I believe they were one of the first places in Vancouver to really bring these fruit-shaped desserts to the forefront, and then slowly everyone else started following the trend. The mango is definitely my favourite. It's light, fruity and refreshing and the white chocolate shell gives you that little crack when you bite into it. I tried the clementine/orange one as well and I would probably skip that one next time. It's mostly cream with not a ton of cake. The good news is that the mousse is pretty light, so even though there's a lot of it, it doesn't feel like an incredibly heavy dessert. The pastries and desserts are definitely more about the experience and presentation, although there are some really good options beyond the fruit ones too.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
