Lovely cafe! It was nice and cool inside, it's in the shade so a great spot for summer. The staff were polite and gelato is wonderful!
Interesting cafe near Granville Island with rooftop seating! I loved the rooftop! They have lots of housemade baked goods, gelato, coffee and tea, and some sandwiches and salads. A little sparse on the sandwich selection when I arrived around 3 on Saturday.
I ordered a caprese sandwich, a pistachio cheesecake, and an iced hojicha latte. The sandwich was pretty good. The baguette seemed very fresh and tasted great. Just the right amount of pesto. The cheesecake was kind of a showstopper - it was super creamy with a lovely pistachio flavour. The crust itself was made from candied pistachios which I thought might be overkill but it actually was a great enhancement to the cheesecake. The hojicha latte wasn't bad but I wasn't impressed; I wanted the hojicha to be stronger.
The barista that took my order was a little soft-spoken but not unfriendly. They were super quick with toasting my sandwich and making my drink.
The coffee is good and the cafe is cute with a nice patio outside. But don’t go if you’re hungry because the food is below average. The sandwiches are sparse and bland and expensive. Not sure why this place is rated higher than prado down the street with better food options (and more affordable for what you get). One of the servers seemed like she wished she was anywhere else.
Server spent 5 minutes to take my order even though she was doing nothing. She then threw my roast beef sandwich down on front of me and walked away
Closed when it should be open for an hour already
Dirty. All the tables and chairs were littered with crumbs. Washrooms out of toilet paper, paper towel, and soap. Staff just on their phones doing nothing. Visited May 17 around noon.
I work across the street and everyday for lunch I come here. So far EVERY SINGLE ITEM I ORDERED was very delicious! Californian breakfast sandwich/salmon breakpppppfast sandwich were both very yummy, as well as curry soup and blueberry/mango/mixed fruit scone!

Beautiful interior design and comfortable seating, I would totally come here with friends or just to study/work by myself! The patio upstairs is also a great place to enjoy some sunshine and breeze, very calming.
The gelato was delicious, very rich flavours where you can taste the fresh ingredients, nothing artificial. And there’s such an amazing selection of desserts to choose from!

One of the most amazing Gelato experiences I've ever had! Such fresh taste and pleasing texture. I went twice in one day it was so good! Affogato in the morning (and man, that espresso was divine) and took my son to share mango and watermelon flavors. The servers were so friendly and raved about their Gelato supplier (he must be amazing as he has several restaurants). If you love Gelato and coffee, this is your place. And slightly removed from the crazy tourist traffic at Granville but still within walking distance.

Tru Cafe is a delightful stop for coffee lovers! Their rich, perfectly brewed coffee stands out, and the pastries and cookies are to die for—fresh, flaky, and satisfyingly sweet. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make it an ideal spot for a quick treat or relaxed break.

Great cafe located near Granville Island. It has a wide selection of pastries and breakfast items as well as some high quality gelato. They also have a hidden patio on the second floor with some great view so I would definitely recommend visiting on a sunny day!
