Blue Parrot Organic Coffee

The toffee nut latte and the egg salad sandwich are the standouts, with fresh-baked strudels and cinnamon buns arriving fresh each day. The matcha affogato and toasted marshmallow latte are fun picks if you want something different.

There is a loft seating area above the main floor that works well for people-watching and lingering over a coffee. The cafe has private seating inside the busy public market, though weekends get lively.

It is a full cafe, not just an espresso bar, with sandwiches on homemade bread and grilled focaccia sandwiches served until late. Fresh baked goods come out of the ovens daily.

Yes, the shop sells its signature blends as whole beans, including house, medium, and decaf roasts in two-pound bags. The Granville Island cafe currently has a limited Jamaican Blue Mountain release worth asking about.
