Tractor Foods is a quick service healthy food spot in Vancouver. There are a few outlets in the Metro Vancouver area including a few downtown, North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Tractor Foods offers a variety of healthy, fresh and unique unique salads, soups, sandwiches and stews. They offer a variety of cafe beverages and pastries as well.
Tractor foods in North Vancouver at Park Royal has a large dining area. There were booth seats and cafe tables as well. I liked the overall feel of the cafe and how relaxed it felt. There weren’t any customers dining in on our visit but we’re sure that they are bound to get busy on weekdays.
When you enter the cafe you are greeted with all their food options for the day. I love how colourful everything looked but we were here for pastries this particular day. Beside the food service counter is the pastry case. They offer a variety of cookies, scones and muffins to choose from.
Apricot power cookie
The apricot power cookie is their version of a chewy fruit cookie. The cookie filled with healthy seeds and dried apricot. It was soft and chewy in texture, the perfect combination. We both liked the texture of the cookie but thought there could have been more apricots in it to add in fruity flavour. There was a strange taste about the cookie in the after-taste almost as though it was from the oil that was used to make it. It was alright but we wouldn’t get it again.
Chocolate pistachio cookie
We didn’t enjoy the chocolate pistachio cookie as much as the apricot power cookie. This cookie is made with almond flour so the texture was firmer. The chocolate pistachio cookie is perfect for those who LOVE a decadent chocolate cookie but want a healthier option. The cookie was overwhelmingly chocolatey almost to the point where it was bitter. With that being said, there were somethings that I did enjoy. I liked that the cookie had lots of crunchy bits from the pistachios. The chocolate flavours muted the pistachios which was a little disappointing because I was looking forward to that element of nuttiness.
