Visited on Pleasant Day and it was very busy but it probably isn't the case usually. I had their…read morebanana matcha and it was so good! Definitely gonna recommend it to people. My only qualm is that it was so filled with ice that there wasn't much liquid. Would ask for less ice next time. The drink got out quickly despite how busy it was. Such a cute market and so good for photos.

I had a frustrating experience trying to order a birthday cake for my son's celebration at the…read moreWhole Foods Bakery on West 8th Ave. I went in person on Saturday, May 17, to order an 8-inch Tiramisu cake, but was told they couldn't take any more orders because they were "full." That was very surprising and disappointing--especially for a major grocery store bakery. They suggested I call the next day to see if the cake might be available without a custom order. When I called, they said they did have an 8-inch Tiramisu cake available. I asked if they could hold it for me until 5 p.m., after my chiropractic appointment. However, I was told they could only hold it for one hour, and that if I didn't arrive by 1:30 p.m., they would release it. I even offered to provide a credit card number for a deposit to secure the cake, but they said they don't take credit cards for that purpose. I find it unreasonable that a customer can't place a simple cake order in advance due to being "full," and also that the store won't hold a cake for more than an hour--even when it's the same day and the store is still open. Life doesn't always allow for a rigid one-hour window, especially when you're trying to plan around other responsibilities. This experience was not what I expected from Whole Foods, and it added unnecessary stress to planning a special occasion. I hope their bakery department reconsiders their order and pickup policies to be more flexible and customer-friendly.

We stumble upon this store by accident. I am giving review of their fresh sugar cane juice. They…read moreactually have a sugar cane presser that produces fresh sugar cane juice! We were advised to do the add in of lemon, mint, ginger & black salt to the juice for 0.99 cents. We did... Boy! What a difference it made in the sugar cane juice. It was out of this world. Staff were very friendly & helpful. It is an organic grocery store, it looks like they have a large selection of items available.

A friend recommended this place for tofu pudding, so I visited yesterday and tried several things!…read moreI picked up their sprouted tofu pudding, stone-ground sesame paste, a salad, and their ginger salad dressing. The tofu pudding was silky and the ginger syrup had just the right sweetness. The owner suggested warming the sesame paste with a bit of water -- it was good, though I personally prefer a stronger sesame aroma. The salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious -- gingery, refreshing, and made with organic carrots. After chatting with the owner (who speaks Cantonese), he gave me a fruit enzyme drink to try for free -- it tasted almost like kombucha! They carry a lot of organic items and have been in business for almost a year. If you're into clean and healthy eating, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The organic tofu pudding is super smooth and fresh. $7.99 for a small and $12.99 for a large. I've…read morebought the tofu pudding multiple times now, everyone's a big fan- especially of the ginger brown sugar syrup. They offer lots of free samples of their other products like black sesame desert and their enzyme drink.

Covid procedures are being followed. The smoothie I ordered…read morewas very good. I do have an issue with one of the staff. There was one other person waiting for her order and one of the blenders wasn't working quite right so I had to wait awhile for that issue to resolve and was standing in front of the glass partition just watching my smoothie being made. I was completely taken off guard when I was rudely ordered to "please move! Stand over there!" I didn't see any signs saying where to stand. I can only assume that she didn't like being watched. I know these are challenging times but there is a polite way to handle these situations. I'm a senior citizen and that human interaction was the only one I had all day.

My favourite place to do bulk shopping! I love the variety they have of both pantry staples like…read moredifferent types of flour, dry fruits and nuts, spices, and novelty snacks like seasoned nuts, granola, candies, even energy balls. To list everything would take too long, but it's a better variety of bulk items than you will find in any mainstream grocery store. You can also get tap kombucha, soap, and oils and vinegars. Everything is clearly labelled with brand, ingredients, and nutritional information. You can bring your own containers and weight them, or use paper bags provided. The staff is always friendly and happy to help, and they'll usually let you sample before buying.

Loving the idea of zero waste shopping!…read more I came across The Source Bulk Foods store the other day and really enjoyed shopping here. They carry locally made goods like coffee, dry goods like cereal, rice, beans, dried fruits, grains, flours, nuts and chocolate covered almonds Most items are sold by weight so you can bring your own containers or use the provided paper bags/jars They have clear easy instructions on the wall or a friendly staff member can help answer questions. I like that the containers are marked with clear pricing, nutritional info, and the brand of each product I picked up some local coffee beans roasted by Agro Roasters and some dried fruit They also have shampoo in bulk, laundry sheets, bars of soap, a nut butter machine to make on the spot. I also love the self serve kombucha bar! Can't wait to be back to pick up more goodies They are getting ready open up a store in North Vancouver soon

I love this shop. They have an awesome selection of Vegan food supplies. The one thing I don't love…read moreis the prices. Why is Vegan food so expensive? Seriously...we're facing a Climate Emergency. People say that the best way to fight Climate Change would be for everyone to go Vegan. Well if being Vegan is what it would take to save our planet, then please...make it more affordable for people to be vegan! I bought about $50 worth of goods from here during Boxing Week. Many of the items I bought were instant Ramen noodles. Later that same day, I found some of the very same noodles I had just bought for a cheaper price at Superstore! Yup...a "Roblaws" store was selling plant based ramen noodles for cheaper than the Boxing Week special at Vegan Supply Shop. Slightly annoyed. Emphasis on the word "slightly". I do believe in supporting small businesses and aside from the one brand of Ramen noodle that I found cheaper at Superstore, I am pretty sure everything else I bought from Vegan Supply Shop, I would not have been able to find at Superstore.

I have been shopping at this location since we moved into the neighborhood some 25 years ago. It…read morewas a pleasant departure from the big stores and although sometimes the prices were higher...it was convenient. I recently was very disappointed to see that the usual staff were not there...at the cashiers and was told that they are no longer working there! What a shock and after years and years of getting to know these people...suddenly they are gone. Also very irritating was the loud music. I was always confused by the previous music which had no rhyme or reason...nothing that you could even recognize but I managed to tune it out. Now it is even worse with...having to listen to "Like a Virgin" by Madona with the volume higher than before. Another small thing is that the mechanical horse and the railroad no longer operates or isn't there at all. Such a shame...the neighbourhood kids used to love it. This all may sound petty but in this day and age there are so many places to shop and I can say for myself...these two new events at Choices...staffers gone...and music issue are enough for me to stay away. Another sad loss...it is also evident at Save On foods in Kerrisdale as I am told it is owned by J. Pattison as well. So much for independent grocers.

I am over 80 years old and walking is difficult for me. I always use a cart and I usually fill it and I spent a few months training this store to keep their carts near the entrance however they have decided that about 45 minutes before the store closes they will take all the carts and put them a long ways away, so I have to walk to get them. I have mentioned this on many occasions they keep the gas the baskets for small clients right by the door until they're closed, but the people that buy larger baskets float, and that need the carts to be close at hand, have a difficulty, please solve.
