Main complaint - THE MUSIC!!!! What is 'loving every minute of it' and such other obnoxious rock pop tunes doing in a cafe?!? Have they been to other cafes? Jazz, classical, or easy listening music of some kind is the standard....for a reason! People want instrumental music that is conducive to conversation and reading....not rock n roll anthems from a bygone era! I recall being in there before and hearing similar music...
THAT SAID......I love the place otherwise. ...Apart from high prices for sandwiches and bagels (although I do see the need to make profit for a small business) but the fact it is all fresh is a big plus! The coffee is excellent, muffins and loafs delicious, but again overpriced.....I saw a woman order a $40 carrot cake....and her jaw dropped at the price....even $25-30 is much more reasonable...difficult to compete with high prices....lower prices would increase business and thus ought to work out to actually more profit....
I hope someone from the Grand Cafe reads this review....
Its VERY CLOSE to being the one of the best cafes in Galt downtown! It is a very friendly place with friendly staff and welcoming seating and a nice place centrally located....and supporting independent businesses are something I feel many locals...

And there's nothing more to appreciate than some honest effort. Prices are reasonable. The business isn't tryna steal your money with the 2.80 coffee; sometimes it's gotta be like that for prosperity. I go here to support IDEA that this business represents. Oh you want more local food options that make things in house with friendly staff that live in the area and have a reasonable...
Read moreI went here for the first time and I had a good experience with the service I got from the baristas, but I was unsatisfied with my order. I order a bagel with cream cheese and I ended up having to wait 20 minutes for it. I also ordered an iced coffee with almond milk and as soon as I stirred my iced coffee, the almond milk it in turned chunky so I ended up throwing my coffee out. I paid $9 for both of these things and I wasn’t satisfied with either of them. The bags was good, but it wasn’t worth the 20 minutes I waited for it. I will not be going to this place again because I was disappointed, as I heard very good things about this place and it was sub par for me. The servers were very...
