10/10 experience! Charming atmosphere, amazing coffee, and lovely service. Grand Café is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a quality cup. Highly recommended!

Grand Cafe is a super cute little spot downtown right by the water. You can sit inside or out, or walk just a few steps away to the main street bridge or walk down to the water. Prices for food is commonly 3-4$ for muffins, cookies, etc. You can get a coffe, tea, or hot chocolate for a similar price.The staff is so lovely! Shocked l've never come here before, but will definitely be back. I go here for the service and spot, food sometimes isn’t the freshest or best I’ve ever had, but no complaints!

Great place for coffee in Galt. The baked goods are really good and made in store. This shop is often used in movies like The Handmaid's Tale. We really like this shop. In the summer we will often have mocha ice coffee.

Delicious coffee with great aroma! You can purchase their ground coffee. They have freshly baked goods and both indoor and outdoor space to sit down and enjoy your coffee and snack.

Grand Cafe is a nice locally owned coffee shop. They make good coffee drinks and serve a simple yet tasty bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. It's a nice and quiet spot to start your day.

The butter tarts at Grand Cafe are simply perfect! The crust is flaky and flavourful. The filling is the right level of sweet, buttery, and caramely! As you can see by the drops on my sleeve, they are the perfect amount of runny, with the added bonus of being chewy because they are overflowing! Go early though, because they never seem to have more than 2, and that's at 9:30 am!

An amazing little coffee shop in Galt - some really splendid coffee's, with some additional food menu items. There's seating both inside and outside, and you can take coffee to go. Freshly baked items, as well as some sit down menu items (like bagels).
