Garbage on a plate - Edit
We like supporting vegan businesses whenever we can (vegan 20 plus years) but I am COMPLETELY DONE with this restaurant after being sold complete garbage (see picture)!
Read moreMy wife came home with this "Basic B... Bowl" which is supposed to have "charred broccoli"; as you can see there are NO broccoli crowns, just these rock hard stems that are literally as hard as wood. I could not even cut that big piece you see in the picture with a knife. Wow! I would be utterly ashamed of placing this on my worst enemy's plate. The "spud + bean quesa" was bitter and greasy. The salsa has the texture and taste of pureed tinned tomatoes with spices added.
I have tried 3 times over the last year to give this restaurant a chance to present me with something edible. Each time, the ingredients were obviously poor quality and I wound up with a sore gut afterwards. There is no convenience when you are running short on time if you have to bin the food you just purchased and make your own meal anyways. This was the last time!

Pretty decent - Edit
We got the mini Mac which the server confirmed is chao milk. And the boujie bread which I didn't realize was an open faced sandwich/toastie. I don't usually like truffle oil but it was good!
Read moreUpdate June 2026 - got the Mac and cheese with side Caesar salad. It was ok. Some of the kale had started to go bad in the salad. My partner got cheese sandwich was also ok.

Will go again. - Edit
Simple but so full of flavour. Loved the Caesar salad. Their pear "donut" (more like a muffin with a hole, lol) was deceiving; it looked so bad, but was one of the best flavour combinations I've ever had. Their s'mores cookie also hit the nostalgic spot.

Return trip as awesome as the first! - Edit
My husband and I stopped for lunch on our way north to Whistler BC. G&G is just off the highway, just north of the border. Perfect! The friendly staff welcomed us and were so kind. Hubby had the “rice rice baby” bowl, and I had the “Basic B**** GF” bowl. Both so tasty, like opening little gifts of flavor and texture as you dig down. Check out the menu. It all looks so good and won’t disappoint!

Ten Stars!!!! - Edit
This place is so incredible! Every single item we tried was fantastic! The Cortado excellent, the ice queen specialty coffee was creamy and delicious. Green goddess (with extra kale) and purple reign smoothies were fresh and refreshing. Just eggsquisite was simply that, exquisite. Tom Avo toastini “bites” had so much flavor, we were longing for more. We took the Rice Rice Baby and Influencer bowls to go and when we had them several hours later, we were shocked by the freshness of the flavors. Best bowls we’ve had. We also took several treat for the next day. Perfect pear donut and pistachio donut were both very sticky and moist. The s’more cookie was so tasty, it was like freshly from the oven. The oh fudge brownie was the most fudge-y brownie ever. If ever up that way again, we’ll be stopping and quite possibly trying everything else. Very clean place. Friendly staff. Fantastic food!!!

Wow! - Edit
I had the brekkie wrap and it had some much flavour including the salad that came on the side. I'm not the biggest fan of salads but this was something else. I finished the salad first because of how good it tasted! Highly recommend grounds & greens! Also had the Havana banana smoothie which was also delicious, it was kinda like a chocolate and banana mix 😋

Pros: Brekkie Wrap, Smoothie, Staff

Wish we had one in Vancouver! - Edit
Grounds and Greens exceeded my expectations. Headed to the States for a doctor appointment and used a Plant Curious deal here as I drove through. So happy i did! Nowhere does it say it’s Ⓥ but it is! GF options in the dessert case. Lattes, teas, frothy oat milk, Pom juice, booch. What I love most is G&G is headed towards zero waste - currently no to-go containers so bring your own if you want to take it with you. I saw a man in a nice suit come in and collect two stainless steel containers - presumably with his to-go order inside - and jet. Everything is fine cafe dining if that makes sense. Perfect for the city and I wish we had one in Vancouver.

Visited this cafe/restaurant a few months ago and I was blown away by their mac & cheese truffle pasta! It was delicious. I live a bit for from South Surrey but am willing to take a trip to visit this place again so I can try other things on their menu.

Amazing food and service - Edit
Café with lovely atmosphere and amazing food. Came with family, first experience eating out as a vegan in Canada and was blown away. Everyone loved their food (even a fussy eater and someone who had never been to a vegan cafe before) and the staff were lovely. I had the greens toast and it was delicious, with a generous caesar side salad which was equally delicious. The beet smoothie had a great kick of ginger.
