Grocery store
AFRA on Main is a family-owned specialty grocery located in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood, offering a diverse range of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern products. The shelves are stocked with freshly baked flatbreads like sangak, artisanal spices, preserved lemons, tahini, a broad selection of olives, and pantry staples. Their fridge section also holds house-made dips—including hummus and baba ganoush—fresh cheeses like labneh, and frozen Persian pastries and ice cream.
The store is beloved for its vibrant, community-focused atmosphere with knowledgeable staff ready to guide customers through unique culinary finds. Reviews frequently highlight the reasonable prices and quality offerings, praising the freshly made dips, clean layout, and warm service. One Yelp reviewer noted the “outstanding freshness of each prepared product” and the value of tasting imported goods not commonly found in chain supermarkets.
Open daily with consistent hours, AFRA on Main offers both pantry staples and gourmet specials and caters to food enthusiasts and home cooks alike. Their carefully curated inventory encourages culinary exploration—from Persian sangak to homemade falafel—making it a go-to destination. Whether customers are building a Middle Eastern feast or discovering new flavors, AFRA delivers authenticity, affordability, and a taste of cultural culinary traditions.
