    They sell my favorite salted plums in Vancouver :). The shop is clean and there's a lot of variety.

    We came to Granville Island this afternoon to do our big shop and support local businesses when we…read morecame and re-discovered The Grainry. We'd last visited about a year before in search of authentic Portuguese piri-piri (which they have, FYI) and decided it was time to restock the spice collection at home with all of this home cooking. While the shop is closed to customers as a precaution against COVID-19, the staff were extremely attentive, friendly and helpful in helping find products or giving recommendations as I wasn't sure what we needed to restock. I'm pretty sure it was the owner helping me out (as he seemed to do the buying for the shop) - it was awesome as he's clearly a foodie and passionate about using the best quality ingredients. He gave me about 5 different suggestions for different spices to use on steaks, beef and chicken all based on some of his favourite combinations. We tend to go for more Latin and Iberian cuisines, so it was cool getting new ideas on how to incorporate Middle Eastern and North African flavours! We only ended up buying a couple of staples this time (onion powder, garlic powder, green oregano, chiles de árbol and liquid smoke), but we're planning on looking in our cupboards and going back to restock in a couple of days with a comprehensive list. We're happy to support small local businesses, and we're happy to add The Grainry to our repertoire. Super friendly, knowledgable staff, great selection of products with new stuff coming in all the time, and the prices are totally reasonable. Definitely check it out! My only constructive feedback would be that, since customers can't go into the shop at the moment, to have a full list of products both on their website and available to look at onsite. Most folks may already know what they want when they come, though I think there are a few of us who get inspired by what we find! :)

    Great Selection of Grains and Spices clearly marked and priced. Prices are Market Driven so if you…read morewant it they got it and if you need it you will pay for it. Now on to why I am a Fan. The Owner has a Dark and Biting Sense of humor. The Owner has earned the right to broadcast his opinions from behind his cash register. Yes you can buy the same stuff in little packages form Whole Foods but you never get the Owners take on why David Petraeus's must resign from his CIA posting regarding his extramarital affair Then on to what Bill Clinton was precisely guilty of. You would never get this prospective for Whole Food market staff. Check this place out!

    I am a big fan of South China Seas at Granville Island and I actually went all the way to this…read morelocation from the west side to see what they had to offer. I found this shop in an unlikely place in the middle of a housing neighbourhood near Commercial Drive. The shop is quite small to my surprise but that's probably because I didn't see the kitchen. It's well stocked with uncommon spices and herbs such as fresh galangal and fresh green peppercorns and other rare ingredients. They also sell paella kits, mortar and pestle, cookbooks and more. However, I find the selections very similar to the Granville location and there's really no incentive for me to travel all the way to Victoria Drive. But if you live in the east side, this is great place for people to get a hold of ingredients they've never tried before without having to squeeze their car into the already crowded Granville Island. Pop some galangal into soups or use coconut water in your stew. Life is indeed too short for boring food.

    Cute, clean shop with awesome service and a great selection of exotic ingredients from all over the…read moreworld. Came here in hopes of finding a few hard-to-source chiles for an enchilada sauce; left with two bags full of amazing imports. Mexican cheeses, fresh and dried chiles, corn tortillas, hot sauce, tomatillos -- this place is paradise. Even better, the woman behind the till (owner perhaps?) was super knowledgeable and loaded us up with some extra freebies of produce she couldn't sell. We will be back!
