Chicken noodle soup with a divine piece of bread all from The Stock Market—what a perfect name for a soup spot! An absolute gem in Granville Island’s public market, and just the thing to warm you up on a chilly day. Can sit down and enjoy your soul warming soup while taking in the view. Perfect!
Good soup.
Disappointed. Got the creamy salmon chowder, and I’ll just let the picture speak for itself. Mostly potatoes and vegetables.
Delicious hearty soups, and kindness towards island volunteers – – almost too much meat in each bowl! And the vegetarian soups are spectacular and flavorful: you gotta try it!
Clam chowder was not good and no refunds available
We got a coffee from there and it was tasty
Had the salmon soup. Not bad but not great

Got the salmon chowder and bread here. The flavoring was simple and not overpowering. The bread was fresh and great for dipping in the chowder.

I’ve been eating soup from the Stock Market for many years, and to be honest it’s been an experience marked by inconsistency in service, quality, and sustainability. I couldn’t write a review because one day I was disappointed, and the next I couldn’t have been a happier customer. I feel that now I can finally write a review, because over the last year I’ve had nothing but consistently friendly service, excellent soup, and lately they’ve introduced reusable bowls and spoons, eliminating the single-use containers and plastic spoons that so often meant I’d look for another lunch option.
The effort and expense involved in choosing a sustainable business model can’t be overstated – there’s a lot more labour involved in washing and storing reusable bowls and spoons, and most shops couldn't be bothered. But in choosing to be more sustainable, they’ve become a lunch spot I’ll be choosing much more often.
I’ve noticed a couple unfair comments from other reviewers about the soup being bland – that’s a little petty and unfair. Some may prefer soup that’s exploding with spice of flavour, but consider that not everyone does. Common sense dictates that they provide a modestly spiced soup that more people can enjoy. I certainly enjoy it, and if I want more flavour I’ll go make my own. In fact, both my girlfriend and I find that most soup spots way over-salt their soup, and the fact that Stock Market doesn’t is something we’re both thankful for.
The quality, serving size, fresh ingredients, and delicious focaccia bread for dipping make for a perfect midday meal to fuel your Granville Island wandering. We also bring home their bagged soup as well, and it's just as good as fresh while also being a great item to stock the freezer with for those times you really want an easy and healthy meal. We’ll continue making the Stock Market a regular stop on our weekly GI visits.

They ran over my foot with a heavy cart just as I was about to buy some soups. I cried out in pain, telling them how much it hurt, but the employee barely glanced at me, and the owner just gave a dismissive shrug, as if my injury didn’t matter at all.

Making your lunch choice at Granville Island can be overwhelming, but you can’t go wrong with a bowl of soup from Stock Market!! Warms the soul!! Love it!
Chowder was basically a bland white soup with some veg and seafood bits. Really felt like it needed some clam or other seafood stock to amp it up. I had a chowder at the Tap and Barrel that was much nicer.

For a place that specializes in "stock", soup. It was underwhelming... The soups lacked seasoning! Salt would have made it a little better.
I ordered the salmon chowder. It was not only under seasoned. I had a couple bites of clumped roux ??. The base just tasted like cream. I should have went across to "a la mode".
I tried wife's chicken noodle soup. Guess what?! No seasoning! I didn't know they served hospital, bland diet, < 2g sodium food.
The only thing good about their food is that the prices are ok. I'd rather pay more and have it taste better.
Service is great and friendly otherwise. I REALLY wanted to like their soups.
