The syrup was good and they should stick to making other coffee drinks with it. Service was ok as well.

Each time I visit Vancouver, I stop by a Pallet Coffee Roasters location because they just know how…read moreto do a balanced roast, and I've never been disappointed with the coffee here. This time was no different. Their roast works so well with milk-based drinks, having a strong enough body without being too bitter or acidic. This was my first time trying their breakfast menu, and I enjoyed the custom breakfast sandwich. Food came out fairly quickly, making it a good spot for those on-the-go.

I've been getting my coffee from the world's biggest coffee chain for decades…read more Lately, the oomph, the zap and the sazz has just not been there, and with their bakery, pastries and sandwich options being severely inadequate..... Something pulled me toward JJ Bean....and with it being a local business it made it even a sweeter deal. I like my coffee strong, black, piping hot and served in a quality cup. So, I just keep it simple. Large Dark Roast with an Everything Bagel, which really hit the spot. The bagel was fresh, tasty and definitely a favourite. Their Rhubarb Danish took me back to my childhood in Switzerland, as it was a homemade family regular. The carefully blended sweet and sour rhubarb weaved into the perfectly baked pastry finished with toasted almonds. All of that...followed by a sip of what I can only rightly name as a cup of exquisite ground beans with character....... Yeah....I want my coffee to have character. Yup JJ. You most certainly have my attention.

We opted to both have an iced latte with oat milk and the drinks were excellent. The expert roasting of the coffee beans was evident in every sip as the coffee notes just danced throughout the latte. The team behind the counter was efficient and friendly and definitely the combination of the scene, the people and the coffee would have me stopping in here regularly if I lived in Vancouver.

For those reading my other reviews, the basics are my baselining tool when trying a new place. The latte was as good as I've had them. The roast used was slightly acidic, fruity (to me) and had a little pleasant lingering palate. It like to sit with my drinks and take them slowly and this one was enjoyable to the last sip. The scone was excellent. The cheesy crisp was perfect. and texture was light but firm. The ambiance was extremely comfortable. The table layout alone is worth the stop. I would love to bring five friends for stop here. I LOVE the seating configurations. So many ways to use a fixed seating layout. It was quiet when I stopped by, and I hope these guys are far more busy the rest of the time. Gems like these deserve to be packed.

This is also walking distance to other stores and fast food in the area. There are street parking in the area which is very convenient. But I always take the bus when I'm downtown.

The lady behind the counter was super nice. Friendly. Conversational. Really easy to talk too. Gave me great suggestions, has a great knowledge of coffee, and asked me questions to really get me the best coffee for my liking. I ended up with the americano, which was really good. Not bitter at all. Had a great taste to it. They carry several cheesecakes, evidently tiramasu is their best selling, but I went with a raspberry white chocalate one, and it was one of the best cheesecakes I'd ever had. It was light and creamy, but still dense. Wasent overly sweet or tart. Large chunks of white chocalate. It was really good!! Paired with the coffee and it was just heavenly. Multiple tables too, to enjoy a nice cup of coffee while reading or working or just watching people walk by on Davies. I will definitely be back again, and would recommend this coffee joint to everyone!!

I know that latte art doesn't really affect the taste of the coffee, but a beautiful latte art can really lighten up my day! I tried their mushroom toast with poached egg the other day and it was delicious. The mushrooms were sautéed nicely and the toast / bread itself was good too. The staff here are nice.

Happy to discover that this place was nice and quiet inside so would definitely consider coming back here again. Food was awesome. I absolutely loved my Shakshuka. Might be the best Shakshuka I've ever had. Not that I'm any authority figure on what a Shakshuka should taste like. But I really enjoyed this one. The combination of flavors, the runny egg yolks, the gooeyness of the cheese...it was just such a wonderfully comforting and belly warming meal. I saw a Cinnamon Honey Latte on the board and decided to order that for my drink. These days, I can never tell when the word "Latte" is being used to describe a coffee beverage or whether it's being used to describe a beverage that has milk in it. A Matcha latte for example, tends to just be a sweetedned Matcha beverage with milk in it. No coffee thrown in. I was kinda hoping this Cinnamon Honey Latte would be milk with cinnamon and honey thrown in. It turned out to be a coffee beverage. No complaints about it. It's on me for assuming that it was milk with cinnamon and honey thrown in. I should have probably asked our server about the beverage before simply ordering it. Will make sure to do that if/when we end up here again. Kinda had my eye on the Turkish Apple Tea though so might just order that next time and the whole "Latte" dilemma wouldn't be an issue with that. My daughter's Avocado Toast looked super yummy as well. Might try ordering that next time, although Michelangelo's Mediterranean Spread was also kinda calling out to me!
