    Coffee bar and main table
    Michael I.

    We dropped in on a weekend afternoon. Right about the time patrons started trickling in. Generally, people were studying, working, or simply enjoying a chat over coffee. We go the the pour over and flat white which were both delicious. They also offered sandwiches and treats. I got to indulge in a brownie. If I had to do some work, I wouldn't mind coming here to park myself and grab some coffee and treats

    Have driven by this spot quite a bit, so decided to try the coffee one day. The atmosphere is great with some one hour parking in the side streets and customer service is nice. There are also different types of seating to choose from, from regular chairs with a small coffee table, to a communal table where you could get work done, or regular booths for food /drink only which is great. Signs inform patrons to keep tables for food vs computer work which was appreciated. Food: We ordered the avocado toast with poached egg, as well as the smoked salmon toast. Both were mediocre and were not as flavorful as I thought it would be, though I did like the balsamic dressing on the salad. Coffee wise, sadly I wasn't a fan. My friend got a regular Americano and it was too bitter with flavor notes all over the place. It almost tasted like the water and coffee were separating and not mixed well. My latte with almond milk was bitter with acidic notes and I could not finish it. It had a metallic taste to it that didn't sit well with me for the rest of the day. All in all, a cute neighborhood spot thought wish the coffee werent so bitter.

    I am glad that Pallet Coffee Roasters opens a second branch on Kingsway. I tried their first coffee shop close to East Hastings and loved their latte and food so much. I had a high expectation at their second branch. My sister and I ordered a flat white and latte. Both were so good that fulfilled my day! One of the baristas showed us how he created the patterns on our latte and flat white. He also gave me to try some coffee that reminded in a coffee pot. It was so good even though it was with milk or cream and sugar. People come here to study, work, relax, chat and have a coffee. I would definitely like to come back here for coffee and their pastry or food next time.

    My date wanted to try their coffee before buying a bag of coffee beans for his home espresso machine. The ambiance is modern and there was seating available when we got there after 1pm. I wanted a croissant sandwich and they had run out of croissants already! I was disappointed and ordered a cheese and herb scone instead. Service was fast. A side of butter was automatically dropped off. I prefer a plain cheese scone, but the herb part was alright. Their medium roast coffee bean was good. My date ended up buying a bag for home and it was dated when it was roasted. He also got a beef brisket sandwich for lunch which he thoroughly enjoyed.

    I always pass by this coffee shop because it's at the corner of Kingsway and knight street. The interior looks nice and calm. The staff are nice. You can look outside but the busy and loud traffic may be too much for me to enjoy a coffee there. That's just my own feeling. I do see people reading and chatting comfortably here. Inside is clean. I wish their music can be a bit more stand out to set a tone for its atmosphere. There are a few city parking in the back limit 1 hour.

    Cortado and gluten-free quinoa date bar. Yum!

    Lovely little oasis. Was in the area for an errand & desperately needed a caffeine hit. The music is good, the layout is well done, the staff are sweet. To top it off, they made me my favourite drink that wasn't on the menu. A perfect cortado. I also ordered the gluten free quinoa date bar on a whim. (I avoid most gluten free labeled things). It was delicious! Great consistency and just a pinch of salt in the crumb. I see they also do brunch they looks rather tasty. Will be back!

    * Second location * Pallet has opened up a second location right on Kingsway and the corner of Knight. It has a very different feel than their original location over on Semlin. The original location feels industrial, with the roastery visible down the stairs. This one feels more like a typical cafe. They offered a choice of two different beans for the espresso. I chose the Columbian, which was a lighter roast. The espresso ($2.90) had to be pulled twice by the barista because she didn't like the first pull. The one I was served was properly pulled (thank you for the quality control!), with a good crema. I find Pallet's roasts to be quite variable. Sometimes I'm really not a fan, but this one was very smooth, with good acidity, and not overly roasted. A very nice espresso! Bonus is that they serve it with a small glass of sparkling water on the side. Nice touch!

    If I could give this a zero star I would. I work near pallet so I decided I would treat myself to a iced Americano, this is what I got. Now I understand why my coworkers order in coffee from other places and won't walk the 5 minutes Down to grab coffee from there. For the coffee it was suppose to be an iced Americano with a splash of soy milk. This photo was taken five minutes after I got it to work, I stirred it like crazy and this is what it still looked like. Sour and tasted like water with a tiny hint of coffee. It wasn't busy in the shop, it wasn't early in the morning, it was just me so there isn't a reason for this.

    Great place for coffee and breakfast! Wonderful ambience and friendly staff. Enjoyed the Avocado Bruschetta with a poached egg, a really great breakfast with reasonable prices.

    Ooh look! The light fixture is made out of tiny pallets. Clever.

    Every trip my partner and I make we always try new coffee places. The coffee is pretty good. We got…read morethe walnut and chocolate chip cookie which was fabulous. The service is good and the place is clean. The music is super chill. Its not too loud in this place. I was able to talk and I could hear my partner. Some places it's hard to hear people. If you're looking for a place thats chill and relaxing, this is the place.
