....some of their Xmas creations....
Cho L.

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?).

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+

I've had some great food visiting Vancouver but after eating this I've officially declared it a food city! Had the delicious chicken pot pie- it was perfect. Crust was flaky and soft but never soggy. The soup was the perfect soup temperature that you could mathematically assign; like a perfect bath but in your mouth. The chicken pieces were full and tender. If I could have canceled my dinner reservation in 90 minutes- I would have gotten a second one. I don't regret the first.

Solid clam chowder. Soup was balanced, not too rich. Potatoes and clams were properly cooked inside. Pastry top was crispy, flaky, and soft. No issues with service. Decent amount of seating with a nice view of the harbor.

Clam chowder pot pies

Stopped by Granville Island for the first time and this was the first spot I checked out. Really cute location with seating with a gorgeous view of the water and the aqua buses. Even at 4pm on a Saturday, the Public Market was pretty packed. No line at this place though. The clam chowder was different than what I'm used to but not bad by any means. Lots of clam meat, subtle smokiness to the chowder, flaky puff pastry pie shell. I prefer my chowder thicker and brinier. It came out lukewarm and thin. Butter tart was just served as-is off the shelf. It might get another star from me if both were piping hot. 3/5 average spot. Probably better food options around the market.

Salmon chowder
Kevin E.

One of the more interesting stands inside the Granville Island Public Market because they sell chowder pot pies with puff pastry on top! We got the salmon chowder and I found it a bit too salty since they use smoked salmon. If I'm ever back I'll probably get the clam chowder instead. Loved breaking the puff pastry into the chowder and forming that delicious combination of flavors! It's a heavy dish so highly recommend sharing with others. Price is ok given the taste, big portions, and ingenuity.

Chowdah
Moses M.

Clam chowder is thinner than normal, but filled with flavor. The breading on top is flakes and firm enough that ot doesn't get soggy when dipping. Be carefull, they serve the chowder inappropriately too hot. My wife literally had burn marks on her lips when trying the first bite. It takes minutes to cool down because the cups are kept in some oven for long periods of time. Located in the marketplace so find seating anywhere you can.

Chicken pot pie
Sunny M.

Chicken pot pie is one of my fav food. The pastry on top elevated the dish quite nicely! Loved the soupy chicken pot pie. Perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Side note: friend ordered the clam chowder pastry one and we both agreed that chicken pot pie was the winner.

Salmon chowder Chicken pot pie?
Jesse R.

We are pretty mind blowned with how good this was! As tourist we were told to try this place when visiting Vancouver. It is located right in the market. I love the different choices of pies they have. It being baked in a mug was so eye pleasing. The salmon chowder was sooooo fricking bomb. I'm not even being dramatic, it was probably my favorite chowder I've ever eaten (and we're from WA)... from the puff pastry on the top to the thickness and creaminess of the chowder. I love that there was good size chunks of salmon in there. My bf got the chicken pot pie but I think she accidentally gave us the clam chowder. We didn't notice it until the last two bites, when we saw the clams in it. We were still really satisfied with it. The only complaints we have is that it looks like there's going to be a lot of chowder, but you break past the pastry and it has the smallest amount... for the price you pay I think they should fill the chowder much more. Also the mix up of chowders.

Chicken pot pie was delicious and piping hot! The crust was crumbly on top and fought inside. Need a bit more veggies and there was a lot of slurry but overall quite good. Would order again next time I'm here.

A large selection of sweet and savoury pies, with helpful, friendly service. I had a beef stew pot pie and enjoyed the flavour and warmth, but thought the texture was a little thin and there was not a lot of beef. The top was flaky and delicious. Not a huge portion. I would try here again but likely make a different selection.

Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. 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!

A good assortment of pastries and surprisingly some savoury items for reasonable prices. There's a…read morelot of fruit forward flavour combinations like mango, strawberry and raspberry. Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.

A very nostalgic old Hong Kong decor dessert spot offering many authentic Hong Kong style desserts…read more Their expansive menu includes traditional hot dessert such as red bean soup, black sesame and almond paste. And also the more modern cold desserts such as mango, ube sago and even grass jellies. We opt to order their ube trio and it was heavenly. It had an authentic and strong ube taste. The sagos were cooked just right with the perfect texture and most importantly, it wasn't too sweet. We also ordered their instagram worthy mahjong tiles which is essentially red bean and coconut pudding. It's very cute and definitely instagram worthy. It's not too sweet and I liked that it came with a side of red bean sauce which made it less dry. The money is also made of edible paper but we didn't touch it cuz it felt weird eating it. However, it wasn't anything special and we wouldn't order it again. It was quite busy when we arrived on a Friday night but it's much easier to go in a smaller party. We were a party of 2 and walked right in even though others were waiting because they needed a bigger table. The place is clean and service was fast. They don't have a time limit even though they are busy so it's a great hang out spot. We would definitely be back to try out other items they have to offer.

It's a nice place for Asian dessert. They also have some Hong Kong style snacks and Asian dim sum I…read morehave yet to try. I like getting their tofu dessert though. And right now (not sure until when) they have a giant sandpit installed in the middle of their store. If you spend $25, you get to play with their toy excavator. And if you collect over 30g of gems, you can spin the wheel and win prizes. (Big prize = $20 coupon) Great for keeping kids and adults that are still kids at heart (myself included), happily occupied.

Waaah I loved this place! Vancouver, how lucky you are to have Konbiniya!…read more Walking into this place felt a little bit like being transported into Japan. I'm from the Bay Area and we have our fair share of Japanese grocery stores (shout out to Niiya in Japantown in San Francisco) but I was very excited to see the selection here. Definitely came across items I've never seen before like a Takoyaki flavored Ramune. It was extremely discounted just fyi probably for good reason. They even had Japanese canned drinks stored hot like in Japan! The take away Japanese desserts also looked good. This place is right on Robson street so a great place to grab a snack, drink, pick me up while shopping. Prices seemed reasonable. One caveat is that it can get busy in here and the aisles are small so it felt a little crowded but that's sort of like Japan as well lol so not a big deal for me. Added to the ambience. Checkout was quick and easy!

Extensive selection of all manner of…read morecandies, onigiri (rice and seasonings wrapped in crisp seaweed), matcha-flavoured snacks, soy sauces, numerous styles of miso paste...you get the idea. It sounds crowded - and it is - but once you push your way to the back of the store, you'll find a tiny Japan tour travel agency and a shelf of clearance items at rock-bottom prices. Service is cheerful, personable and brisk. The store also houses a takeaway crepe and ice cream shop - the crepes are actually better than the ones I've had in Tokyo.
