Grassroots is a chef-driven café at Port Alberni's Harbour Quay, owned by George and Celise, who built the business around close relationships with local farms and producers. Everything is made in-house, from freshly baked pastries to rotating seasonal focaccia sandwiches, poke bowls, and specialty coffee sourced from premium roasters. Reviewers consistently praise it as a must-stop destination, making it a natural reward for cyclists arriving at the waterfront.
