Flavours of Hope at Granville Island Public Market

Flavours of Hope Pop-up Cafe

We are bringing something new to Granville Island Public Market: a two-week pop-up cafe featuring six incredible POC-owned food businesses:

Discover a shared menu with comforting soups, savoury wraps, empanadas, patties, baked goods, refreshing horchata, and more. Choose from fresh meals, frozen favourites, or pantry products to take home.

This isn’t just a cafe, it’s a place where cultures meet, stories are shared, and community is celebrated through food!

📍 Granville Island Public Market – 1689 Johnston Street (across from JJ Bean main entrance)
🗓 September 15 to 30, 2025
🕘 Daily, 9am to 5pm
