The market is open 7 days a week from 9AM &#8211; 7PM. Their public market is similar to Seattle&#8217;s, but on a smaller scale. They even have <a href=\"https:\/\/granvilleisland.com\/directory\/vancouver-foodie-tours-granville-island-market-tour\">Foodie Tours<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>We stopped and got the best jelly-filled doughnuts I&#8217;ve ever had at <a href=\"https:\/\/granvilleisland.com\/directory\/lees-donuts\"><strong>Lee&#8217;s Donuts<\/strong><\/a>.

When we all gathered, we decided to get in line for this Honey Doughnuts place, not even bothering to research any further into what they serve other than doughnuts or why we should pick this place over the others along the main road. I studied what others seemed to be ordering, and decided to get 2 honey doughnuts.<\/p>\n<p>I am so glad that I did. <strong>I still can taste these doughnuts<\/strong>. They melt in your mouth, have the perfect balance of sweetness and goodness without being overpowering. We grabbed them to go and found a seat along the water to watch the boats and kayakers in Deep Cove.<\/p>\n<h3>Deep Cove<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Panorama Dr, North Vancouver, BC V7G 1L2, Canada<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"vancouver, british columbia, granville island, granville island public market, prospect point, stanley park, deep cove\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/2018-12-29_0025.jpg\" alt=\"vancouver, british columbia, granville island, granville island public market, prospect point, stanley park, deep cove\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Deep Cove was Brighton&#8217;s recommendation based on his year in school up in Vancouver. Since we had to drive back, we didn&#8217;t have enough time to do a hike, but next time, we&#8217;ll have to do the <strong>Quarry Rock<\/strong> hike nearby Deep Cove. We saw many cars parked at the trailhead. The hike is about 2.4 miles roundtrip with 330 feet of elevation gain.
