I have gone there a 6 or 7 times and have found the food to be fantastic. Sadly they have a tip jar as well as tip option on the debit machine that the employees do not share in. In my opinion a very sleazy move and this has turned me off from going back.

There are lots of great dairy products.

Great spot for local dairy products. Ice cream and chocolate milk are amazing. Great organic options. They actually make stuff for other local companies like Western Family.

Little pricey. Nice to see glass bottles after decades of plastic/cardboard

Really inconsistent flavour. Ruins my coffee.I will also add that the rim of the bottle was broken. I could have swallowed glass,

I brought my family to the store on North Fraser Way. We all ordered the Hot Lunch special. What's misleading is the menu above the order counter, it appears to us that we have a choice of hot sandwiches, well no, only what Avalon has for that day. This is fine if they had posted it clearly at the order counter. We thought there would be a hot drink to go along with the special. Well no. Fine, I will buy a jug of milk from the fridge and enjoy it with our lunch special. Well, after paying and ready to get the paper cups, I found out I have to pay 40 cents for each paper cup. No thank you. As for the the lunch special, the roast beef sandwich is adequate but uninspiring. It is bland but comes with a dish of liquid flavour. Well, the "sauce" is quite bland and fortunately there is salt available. At $13.99 per plate I don't see value. The staff is not friendly, The pay terminal demands a tip so the staff is willing to deliver the order to my table. When I'm done and the tip has been prepaid, I was expected to bring the plates to a collection point, I was also expected to separate the cutlery and tissues and the plate. Self service from that point onward, I wish I had not left any tip. From my perspective, there are too many of these business that appeal to consumers because they are local, and I have to help them to fight against the industry behemoths. Talk is nice, but what's delivered is pretty underwhelming. Suffice to say I see no point of returning.

Rude owner! This man has been rude to my mom twice now. First time she came in to buy milk and return empty bottles (bottles of milk purchased at his store) he told her she was lying about the number of bottles she was returning, so she took him back so he can count with her and of course he realized he was wrong, but didn’t bother to apologize. Today was the second time, she went in with my 3 year old son and again he approached her very rudely telling her that this is not a bottle depot and how can she possibly be returning 10 bottles. Of course my mom feeling embarrassed told him kindly that these bottles are from his store where she purchased the milk. I decided to call him today just to check if they have a policy of how many bottles you can return at a time. I asked for the owner and once he got on the phone i kindly asked for his name and his answer was “well what is your name you called me”. After introducing myself he told me his name and I explained the situation to him and asked how many bottles we can return. i told him that he was rude to my mom and embarrassed her and instead of apologizing or explaining his reaction he asked me “well why does your mom buy so much milk?” I am in absolute shock and still can not process the rudeness. I wish people could just be kind to others especially if you’re the owner of a store and have a regular customer. Definitely not going back to this store.

This is the first time we visit this location. All the new glass bottles of milk bring us back to 90's. My wife ordered the milk delivery to our old home once a week in 90's.She tells me that the glass bottles seems up grade a lot. She remembers that she broke the glass bottles a few times years ago.It's no doubt that Avalon Dairy has the best quality of milk in the market.If you live closed to this area, it is the best place for shopping some dairy product.
Always a good spot to come in to grab lunch. They have daily changing specials which are great along with ready made sandwiches. You can grab all their dairy products out of the fridge before you head off. Good service is always quick, just make sure you don't get stuck during the lunch rush. I highly recommend this place!

Treatment from the rude manager is enough to sour my experience with all avalon products, especially when the male manager dislikes it so much that I dare bring avalon milk bottles to the avalon store for a refund. There are plenty other good milk out there that doesnt make you jump through hoops to return the bottles.
