Wow my first Coffee in Canada and I have to say I'm pretty excited about it! Not only was the quality of the coffee delicious the service was so sweet and charming I would love to make this my local spot! They have some seating outside on a little deck as well as inside in a upper loft area. But they are ensuring Covid protocols of space to check out an order at the counter with protection for everyone in the form of a Lucite division between the shop and the clients. Pastries were quite tasty and I have to say I loved my scone. Equally delicious as what we all came for, our coffee! I had a oat milk mocha. TL/dr: some of the best coffee you'll have anywhere!

We are so glad to have found this place through a Groupon, it's amazing! The French toast and pork belly sandwich were delicious as well as beautiful. The service was attentive throughout, and they offered a little scone on the house due to the wait. We adored the industrial cozy design and would not hesitate to return.

Pallet is one of my top coffee shops in the city! Not only is the environment inviting and friendly, but they're coffee and espresso are amazing! My favorite bean is the benchmark! It's dark chocolate notes make it sweet and subtle. Defiantly recommend either an iced or hot mocha. This local business treats their staff and customers so well and I always enjoy stopping by!

Bringing coffee love to your community, Pallet Coffee is the place to head to for a solid cup of specialty coffee! Being one of the most comforting lattes I've ever had, Pallet recently introduced the Jaffra Latte to their signature drink menu. A heartwarming cup of specialty coffee that isn't too sweet or too bitter with the perfect hint of chocolate and orange. The two marshmallows were also a nice addition as it made me feel like I was cozied up by a warm campfire/fireplace. For the coffee connoisseurs out there, Pallet uses their Benchmark espresso in this latte.

Love this location. Lots of seating and clean modern space. You can also see the kitchen through the indoor glass windows which is pretty neat. Always friendly service here and their baked goods and sandwiches are yummy. Recently went to try their hot chocolate creation for hot chocolate fest. It was called 'Living in a Lychee Dream'. Flavours of lychee and rosemary with a delicious shortbread cookie. Creative flavours that paired very well!

Pour-overs and drip coffee were ever-present on the menu and while they seem to have an excellent rapport with a few coffee shops -- since their bags are sold in a couple places I visited -- I went for a latte on the morning we visited since something milky sounded grand. Smooth and frothy but evenly robust with some fun latte art. I looove ricotta cheese so while it was super #basic I went for the *Ricotta Avocado Toast* for $8.50, as well. This came with a side salad which was super clutch since my stomach needed it. Toasted sour dough bread the mashed up avocado-ricotta cheese sat on was rather small though. Great blend of ingredients even if the concoction reminded me slightly of an egg salad (not a bad thing). They are otherwise very noteworthy for their build-you-own breakfast sandwich option which my friend did order. Choose your bread, sauce, cheese, greens, and meat for $8.75! Plenty of street parking, lots of seating inside (upstairs and down), and the sunshine splashing in through the large glass windows made the space very inviting. They brew in-house here so the smell of fresh coffee beans emanates throughout the space. Perfect for a quick stop, or an intimate mid-morning chat session.

I dropped by here and picked up a delicious oat milk latte! It was super delicious and I love the look of their Semlin location!

This location of Pallet Roasters is bright, open and welcoming. I just went in for a coffee but was happy to also take a peek at their menu. I'll return to try their food sometime. I like their selection of breakfast options and sandwiches. The coffee was strong, just the way I like it. The seating area looked comfortable and modern. It's a nice place to stop by for coffee to stay or coffee to go.

Pallet has coffee beans that my husband really enjoys. We stop by once in awhile to purchase some beans to take home. At about $20 a bag of beans, it is a nice treat for some quality coffee made at home.

If this place was anywhere that was in some area that had high foot traffic I guarantee line-ups and packed tables would be the normal scene here. For me, I am glad a place like this opened close enough to my neighbourhood, still a drive, but nothing where I have to fight off cars, fight for parking, and in the end... fight for a spot to enjoy this great brew they are cooking up here. The first thing you wonder is... where is Semlin? Well use your smart phone and find it... you can't miss the place once you get here, with all it's windows, taking up a nice square building with the big words 'PALLET' right on the building, it's got that new age, 'hipster' type feel, but it's missing that traffic that these normal places usually command once popping up in areas.... for now! When you come in here you get a great feeling of roominess created by the high ceilings over the main checkout area. This place is clean, and simplistic, and very open, from the balcony area with a few tables, to the bottom area, you can almost see the entire operation when you are in here. They don't even hide their backroom, and the dishwashing that takes place, which actually gives a very comforting feel of what they are doing...... nothing hidden! So why do they need such a big place... and why doesn't it have more seating... this place is a roasting house.. so they do everything on sight, but most of us will just be coming in for the coffee to get our day going, that is fine. I am a creature of habit, and I keep going for their normal drip coffee... sometimes if I am there too late (I think they don't do drip after 3:30) I do not always get what I want... but I haven't tried any of the sweet drinks they have.. from their lattes... etc. They also have some sweet baked treats here.. not too sure where they get them from.. but they offer a cut-up of some samples everytime I have been there. My friend is a sucker for this kind of thing, as she always orders this white chocolate berry loaf with her latte. I've been here on sunny days.. and rainy days.. and regardless of when you are here, you will get a beautiful brew in your cup, for me and my pure black coffee the acidity is always just right, such a smooth cup, and also being able to enjoy it while being in this comfortable surrounding. Definitely a place you can let time pass, before they kick you out at 5 (when they close). If you are looking for a real good coffee, and have some time not to just come in here and run.. but to sit down and enjoy the surroundings... this is how coffee should be, don't be surprised if time flies by.

Let my inner Vancouver Basic Girl free this rainy Sunday morning when I popped into Pallet Coffee Roasters clad in lululemons, a denim jacket, and a blanket scarf to order my standard Americano and Avocado Ricotta Toast. An order of Avocado Ricotta ($8.50) shared between the two of us, we also ordered 2 poached eggs for $3. Featuring a mixture of smashed avo and ricotta with sprouts, radish, and most importantly pickled onions spread evenly over a slice of sourdough, this light lunch felt well worth it in all of its lemon zesty glory. Served with a simple side salad of mixed greens dancing in a delightfully sweet dressing, this is what dreams are made of for Vancouver Basic BBs so my heart was full this morning. And don't even get me started on those pickled onions because those were the real highlight for me. I guess I must just get what I want because light and refreshing were what I requested and light and refreshing were what I got. Just under $20 for two to dine, would I come again? Uh - do I even have a Live Love Laugh sign in my home? Of course, I'll be back.

One of the best coffee shops in east Vancouver! Well exterior and interior designs! Settings can be found inside the outside the cafe. If you are sitting on the upper floor, you can see how their staff make sandwiches or their food, take orders and make coffee. We ordered a latte, flat white and classic French croissant. They were excellent! When we were eating the classic French croissant, we wanted to order more addicting to their food. Their latte and flat white were very good that they had their own character, style and flavour. We really wouldn't mind to drink them every day! If we would be in the same neighbourhood, we must have come back to try other coffee drinks and food/pastries. Unfortunately they were sold out of their almond croissants when we got there at noon!
