It made me…read morerealized I missed a major trend in the produce world amidst a decade filled with Y2K, Monica and Bill, Nirvana, and beanie babies. The produce here isn't fantastic compared with Tim's (where the house sign is a woman holding produce to cover her chest...but no melons). As a plus, Broadway Produce sells loose beans and lentils, including black beans--a bizzarely difficult commodity to locate on West Broadway. Sometimes they are a little dusty. BP compensates for this with slightly cheaper prices.

Definitely a go to spot when you are visiting Vancouver!

Granville Island Public Market is one of those classic Vancouver experiences that pretty much…read moreeveryone tells you to do--and now I get why. The market sits on Granville Island, which used to be an industrial area before being transformed in the 1970s into a cultural and food hub. Getting there is part of the fun: you can take a quick water taxi across False Creek, drive, or grab a regular taxi. We went the easy route and arrived by car, but I'd love to try the water bus next time for the full experience. We got there later in the evening on a Sunday, so they closed early and time was limited. Before I even stepped inside, I spotted a vendor making maple candy--the kind that is poured onto ice and rolled up o to a stick. Highly recommend giving this very Canadian treat a try! Inside, it's exactly what you hope for: a lively space packed with vendors--produce, baked goods, prepared foods, local specialties. I had a short must-try list, starting with Lee's Donuts, Siegel's Bagels, and a hunt for Nanaimo bars, the iconic no-bake Canadian dessert named after the city of Nanaimo in British Columbia. Even with little time, it was fun weaving through the stalls and admiring all the products. Since we were visiting during the holidays, there were extra vendors selling arts, crafts, and locally made sweets, which made the whole place feel even more festive. We picked up bottles of maple syrup to bring home as gifts and also tried a few canelés. After we enjoyed our dinner, I stepped outside and took a moment to soak in the view--city lights reflecting on the water, the bridge glowing in the distance, everything calm and picturesque. It was a quiet contrast to the busy market inside and ended the visit on a really peaceful note. Definitely take in the view if you have a minute! Even though we didn't have as much time as I would have liked, it was still a great experience. Granville Island Public Market absolutely lives up to its "must-do" reputation.

I also got some additional cheeses and it was nice that they offered very little small pieces of cheese wrapped up so you could mix and match all sorts of them. I didn't really care for the charcuterie bites. They were rather dry and hard to chew, but maybe that's just me but overall, it was a great place to get some cured meat and cheeses and grab some bread from one of the other vendors to make a perfect picnic lunch.

A pound of flesh !…read more Well, my carnivores dream came true. Was enjoying a sunny Sunday strolling through the Granville market and I came across came across Lina's Deli & flesh market. Now before you go crazy it's not a ladies of the night flesh market but a man's meat heaven. I mean a line of charcuterie cups filled with amazing selections of cured meats to go. Hands down some of the best product placement advertising I've ever witnessed. Ok, for those who love things that previously had faces for your own consumption you'll love this place. Now I didn't grab some of the chorizo bites yet I sure will on my next visit through the Granville market. Everything looked so tasty and wanted it all to get in my belly. So many meat options my head swirled around like a case of vertigo. Now I would suggest an extra stop at another place name Zara's Italian Deli. Upon locating grab some Mediterranean Olives mix cause it's the essential pairing with the flesh grab... I only wish I had a bottle of wine but defiantly and bottle of water is needed.

My original plan for the day was to checkout the Shipyards in North Van., until I saw a post on instagram for the market. So glad I went. The setup was very similar to many of the markets in the Lower Mainland with many of the usual vendors like A Bread Affair, Gingeraki, and Mukasi Coffee; all very good vendors. I even bought a cold brew ($4) from Mukasi. The only vendor that was new to me were the people selling Tamales, wish I took a pic. They had a huge line and it looked as though people were really into the fresh juice they sell. Tough to really "grade" farmers markets since the vendors tend to change every week. I'm giving it 5 stars because I just love farmers markets and there were enough vendors to make the drive to UBC worth it. It's also a very good alternative to the Trout Lake market which is awesome as well, but finding parking there is a chore. Assuming it's nice next week, I'll probably be back.

Obviously the prices are a little bit less than the grocery stores, although that gap seems to be closing. Today I got Roma tomatoes for $.99 a pound which I haven't seen in a long time. The produce always looks good compared to other small groceries. I don't really expect a lot from staff in such places other than keeping it clean and doing a accurate bill at the end, so there's not much for me to say in that regard. I do hope these places keep going during this time of inflation because it is getting very difficult to stock up on anything fresh these days.

To a student convenience would bump it to 5 stars regardless of the option. The place is super small. Lots of organic healthy item charged at a premium.

Prices are highly premium. If you are living on campus and is willing to pay $2000 for a small dorm than I don't think price matter much. The target audience would applaud for this grocery store.

The big downside is that they're not a full grocery store, so you need to shop elsewhere as well, but there's a butcher a couple doors down and a little Japanese market half a block away, so you can do all your shopping in a single trip here. The sale prices here are quite good, and the quality of the good fruits and veggies here blows away what you'll find at the big grocery chains (but they do still have rotten stuff, so you'll need to pick through what they have to get the good stuff, just like anywhere else).
