Great little hot/cold snacks & take-out.... Prices are reasonable. The Kits location is my favorite Whole Foods in Vancouver. You can either sit inside & watch people walk past the large windows.... or sit outside.

Having dropped in for a quick bite and small shopping a bunch of times, I can say I've formed an opinion by this time and it's not really a wonderful one.Tight isles, low lighting, and ridiculously over-the-top prices for a start. The food counter service assistants are not well educated in food allergies. On several occasions I've asked about the specific ingredients in the prepared take out... more

I really love Whole Foods in Park Royal so I was looking forward to when the Kits Capers changed over. The change hasn't been complete though and unfortunately they still sell a lot of the "Capers Favourites" which aren't nearly as good as what is sold in West Van.  The store is getting better and better but I hope to see it become as good as the other store.  Two for one deli made pizzas on... more

Great when they were Canadian-owned, now even better since they're part of Whole Foods.

I just love Capers- I was a fan before it became swallowed by Whole Foods, and if possible I'm even more of a fan now...  I love how everything is preservative/additive free, and the fresh desserts are super. Add to that genuine, great service and you get 5 stars:)

I was thinking what to try on my 101's list of best eats... and I had passed by Capers, craving a snack...and then I thought - VANCOUVER CROISSANTS! They are on the list.I walked into the bakery and the lady was such a doll - sweet and helpful.. she pointed out the two options - chocolate or whole wheat. I have never heard of a whole wheat croissant being sold ANYWHERE. Maybe I just don't get... more

Expensive but a good spot for groceries. I shop here frequently. I like when they have sales on dairy products and kettle chips. I also like when they're sampling stuff that I would otherwise overlook, even though it makes me buy things I never planned on buying. Good stuff for the most part! I like this place, but I prefer the Whole Foods at Cambie and Broadway because it's bigger. Size matters.

Creepy.  This place is just creepy.The staff are very nice, but the people that shop here just creep me right out.  I've never seen so many lulu lemon-wearing yoga moms shoving their way through a coffee line before.  Sure, they all have nice bums, but they're all such incredible busy bodies, with a goal-oriented tunnel vision as if the checkout counter was the finish line of their latest... more

This place is great and has lots of wonderful lunch items!

Not just a grocery store...a great place to meet for coffee in Kits!

Lemon tarts, chocolate mouse cake, dark chocolate raspberry are the only things I go for. I don't know why Whole Foods doesn't carry them, if they are the same company?

I could happily eat their Roast Beef sandwiches every day.  Every day.  Sometimes I fantasise about them.  Perfection.  I love you.

Yup, I was a bit sad when the Canadian version of Whole Foods actually got taken over by Whole Foods...But happy to report that their yummy bakery items are still as good as ever... I especially love the espresso chocolate chip muffin, raspberry oatmeal muffin, and apricot scone...Much better than Terra!

I kinda dig Capers.  It's got loads of fresh produce, a great salad bar for take-out or eat-in and a terrific bulk grains section (I couldn't find quinoa anywhere else).  Best deal was the fair-trade and organic coffee.  Prices were about $11/pound.  They had better deals on pounds of 49th Parallel coffee than 49th Parallel does.  Some of the produce was missing prices and some of the prices... more

I know that Capers is part of Wholefoods and I know that it's no longer a community market. I have yet to go visit Choices and other markets, but capers is right near my house... :) I usualy buy things that are on special and make sure they are organic and fair trade ( like coffee). I find that they have good prices for milk, cheese and tofu. If you go on a regular basis you can get some sweet... more

You have to view Capers for what it is: a subsidiary of Wholefoods. It's not a 'community market' - not anymore, so when you're shopping at Capers, you're shopping at Wholefoods. The produce and fish here are all top-quality, but you definitely pay a premium, and you can't expect the same attention to detail and commitment to organics/ healthy living as you would a smaller chain.   You can find... more

I pass this place all the time on the bus and every day I'm staring at their gorgeous flowers for sale. How do they always have them so perfect? Not even a single flaw? I would love to get flowers from here. The bakery is really nice. I love their carrot cake so much that it inspired me to figure out how to make it on my own. I love it because it's not so sweet like Safeway's. And their brownie... more

The phrase that comes to mind for Capers is "The Emperor's New Clothes".  Do we think that if we will all become fashionable and organic if we follow the Kits masses into Capers?  I admit I've been sheep-like on numerous occasions and done my (overpriced) shopping there.This supermarket calls itself a Community Market and its fans claim it's THE place for organic and whole foods.  What is a... more

This my first 'review' ever, but after my recent move here and realization that Caper's is the most overpriced sham of an organic community market, I had to for other unknowing newbies to the area. I just moved to the area and was thrilled to see an 'organic community market'. I have shopped at many great ones around the US and other countries. However, after having shopped at Choices (thinking... more

In no grocery store to people bump into and act like you don't exist as they do in Capers. Shoppers definitely don't create anything resembling a "community" atmosphere here--despite helpful, cheerful staff.The staff on cash, in the deli, coffee, and supplement sections are excellent and knowledgeable. When we were inquiring about oregano oil, the gal spent a good 15 minutes chatting with us... more

I love Capers, even if it does seem a bit pricey for some things. You can find everything organic and gourmet here, and it's definitely a good place for vegetarians and vegans. My vegan friend makes a point to stop here whenever she can.In addition to their wide selection in organic grocery, they have a deli, bakery, salad bar, and eating area off to the side. I came here with my friend and we... more

Whole Foods smaller sibling, Capers, offers up a similar grocery shopping experience, but with generally much less space. So be it, Capers still carries a lovely selection of unique, gourmet and usually pricey items. I may not shop here everyday, but when I want something that will uplift a new dish to the next level, I come to Capers to have a look-see. For vegans, Capers has great selection... more

Can you believe Capers first opened its doors way back in 1985? I believe that was even before most people truly understood what "organic" meant!Over two decades later, Capers Community Market is still going strong, with that first flagship store in West Vancouver expanding to include three other locations throughout the Lower Mainland.Visit Capers to find organic fruits and veggies (pricier... more

Capers is a gourmet grocery store with gourmet grocery store prices. Is it worth it? I guess that depends. If you are looking for truffle oil or a wide range of organic, fair trade coffee, then Capers is your store. Capers is on the small side, which means that it can get pretty crowded and they don't have room to have everything you might be looking for. If you bring your own bags, they'll... more

I love Capers. It is far and away, my favourite grocery store. It turns the whole grocery shopping ordeal into a wonderful experience. Shelves dedicated to olive oil alone. Their cheese selection: Gouda, Brie, Havarti, Emmenthal, Gruyere... The delicatessen, the bakery, the grocery aisles... Every surface of this place gleams with promise of a well-sated appetite and a rounder belly. The... more

As my friends and not-so friends were walking down 4th street to the banque, we noticed Capers and commented on how "It looks like a Whole Foods!" Well, that's because it is. This one is smaller than any other one I've been to, in fact, it was more like a Wild Oats, (which is now owned by Whole Foods,) sad in a way..but they had cinnamon spice granola in 16oz containers for just $1.75 CD!!... more

my first time in vancouver would prove to be one of my greatest vacations ever! i flew up to vancouver to spend a week with a girl i met and she brought me here for lunch. the place looked so fancy and they had the greatest gourmet items anyone could imagine. this place is a foodies dream!we looked around for a while and ended up getting some sandwiches and salads to share. as we were checking... more
