I am not a big coffee fan. Got to try out their ice brew coffee. Had it with couple of shots of vanilla and hazelnut sweetener/syrup. It was not bad. The taste is very rich in coffee flavor (yes that means it is somewhat bitter or too bitter for me). Overall, it was good.

The drinks have cute artwork and taste pretty good! That cinnamon bun is mostly just a bunch of dough and caramel though.

I stopped here recently for a mocha and a cinnamon bun; the mocha had a really nice flavour, fairly rich and a bit sweet, but the cinnamon bun just tasted like unremarkable sweet bread with caramel poured on top. The interior is quite stylish, but the layout is actually a bit awkward for a coffee shop, with a lot of seats crammed off into one corner out of sight of everything else. It's a perfectly good coffee shop as far as I've experienced, but not one of my favourites.

* Bright new location * JJ Bean continues to expand around Vancouver. I spotted this brand new location in the old Maxine's spot. They have made it extremely bright inside, with a silver coloured cavernous ceiling that seems to act like those metal wings you see in the movies to give people a suntan on their face. Combined that with a lot of light natural wood and it was BRIGHT. I had an espresso. It was a bit sloppy in the cup, but it was pulled correctly flavour wise. I imagine they'll work the presentation kinks out as they get more used to things. Perhaps the brightness was throwing the barista off a bit! In any case, good taste overall.

Had some drip coffee and latte here. Nice interiors but the staffs need to clean up the tables more often.. Every table was filled with emptied plates and cups. Regardless of this I liked their latte. Pretty good :) Loved the high ceiling too.

Lovely staff and delicious pastries and coffee. Neat little outdoor area to enjoy the city or stay inside in a more quiet area.

Came here with my bf on a Friday afternoon. I know they have more than one location which Broadway…read morewould of been my go to option but this was the most convenient location for my bf to find parking within the area.This location was quite smaller than the one in Broadway but we still managed to find seats since it was a Friday. My bf ordered an iced mocha with soy milk while I had a regular drip coffee with a chocolate walnut cookie to share. My bf's iced mocha was pretty good because it wasn't too sweet. The chocolate walnut cookie was very good. I really liked how the chocolate chips were melting because it made the cookie very moist and soft. It was also very chocolaty and sweet but the walnuts helped cut the sweetness and provided texture (my bf didn't like it). The only thing I didn't like was the cookie was quite oily. It left this oily residue on the napkin and on my fingers which I didn't like. Overall, staff were super friendly and coffee was quite good. I would come back here but at there other locations. I also liked that they have sparkling water as an option to regular tap water.

The baristas were incredibly kind, even offering me the choice of still or sparkling water while I waited. I'll definitely be back!

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 stopped by pallet coffee roasters on the corner of howe and nelson for a late afternoon matcha…read morebreak. the space feels open and relaxed, with a mix of seating options: a bar counter, a long communal table, a few tables along the windows overlooking nelson street, stools facing howe street, and a covered outdoor patio. near the counter, a small grab and go refrigerator section holds canned and bottled drinks, quick bites, and shelves of merch and brewing gear, including eco friendly pallet coffee totes and tshirts. a self serve water station nearby quietly sets the tone, welcoming and unpretentious, inviting you to linger just a little longer. i ordered a matcha latte and decided to stay. before even taking a sip, i smiled at the little cat in the latte art, a tiny, thoughtful touch that felt like a small moment of care. the drink itself matched that gentle energy. the matcha was soft and soothing rather than bold, its clean, earthy notes mellowed by the oat milk. the oat milk added a sweetness, a creamy, almost cereal like warmth that rounded out the matcha's grassy tones. the result was calm, and balanced, with no bitterness. the barista quietly elevated the experience. polite and skilled, wearing a bucket hat patterned with avocados that somehow suited the atmosphere perfectly, there was an ease and attentiveness in the way the drink was prepared and delivered, the kind of professionalism that quietly makes you feel taken care of. the atmosphere mirrored the drink. a few people were settled with laptops, while others were deep in conversation. sandwiches are offered, though the kitchen closes at 2:00 pm, so this is more of a mid afternoon coffee and matcha stop than a late lunch spot. the low hum of the room, the warmth of the drink, and the thoughtful layout create a space that supports both focus and rest. whether you're working, reading, or simply savouring a quiet moment, pallet feels like it meets you where you are, letting you stay until they gently remind you the cafe closes in fifteen minutes.

The cruffin was like a cross between a croissant and cinnamon roll, flaky outside but gooey inside. There was still a hint of warmth from the oven. This was my first time at this location but I have been to other JJs before and I always love their baked goods. The matcha latte was a LITTLE powdery but alright. I've also experienced that the matcha latte at the UBC JJ Bean usually isn't prepared properly (as of probably 2022 which is the last time I got matcha there) and figured it was just a location thing but now I'm wondering if it's just something about the franchise. This cafe is a little small but they've arranged it with plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside too. Nice environment, modern but comfortable.
