AGRO Cafe Granville Island
Reviews
I initially rated 1. First, my child lined up to ask about sandwiches they offer, and a girl at the counter just pointed at the blackboard and didn't help her at all. Dejected, she came out of the line. She ended up lining up again just to get a cookie because the girl was really not helpful. I wasn't too impressed with the way the girl treated my child. Then I brought up my latte to get it reheated as it got ice cold and was not very tasty. The same girl said that was against the health code, and other than adding hot water to dilute it, there was nothing they could do. Sitting there with a dejected child and an ice cold and gross latte, I rated the place 1. I was so steamed about it that I went up to complain to a different person. This time, I talked to Tristan, who was actually making the lattes. Initially he said maybe he could add hot milk into it, but then he decided to remake my latte nice and steaming hot. I was shocked by his generosity, especially since the girl was so not helpful. So just for his amazing service, I had to give a few more stars. The cafe is unusually cold inside, and with a wide open mouth cup, the drink cools off quickly. I recommend you either order your drink in a takeout cup, or drink it fast. Or it would be nice if there was a microwave we can just pop our drinks in.
Stopped here for breakfast and coffee on a rainy Saturday morning. It was quite busy, but it took no time to order. It's self serve, something I'm not a fan of, but I understand why they have it. Customer service wasn't very enthusiastic. We sat outside under the covered patio and even though it was raining it was quite pleasant. The planter fence and patio furniture appear new. The Tiger lilies were in full bloom, and the sparrows were flitting around. Much nicer than the annoying sea gulls that usually invade your space looking to steal your food. The food was good, though not perfect. My ham was dried out and my girlfriend's sausage was also dry. The menu looked tasty, will be trying other items for sure. The coffee was good and the owner kindly offered us free refills. The cafe is much better than it was, and hopefully continues to improve. Update: last couple times I've been there I've sent food back and the service hasn't improved.
Like hair in your food? Like staff that laugh about it? Then the Agro Cafe at Granville Island is for you! P.s. check your water before drinking; grey floaties aren't supposed to be in clean water.
Very good coffee
Great location, delicious coffee. The breakfast was simple but just right.
