spinach and feta

Stopped by for a pastry and it was surprisingly good! The seating space inside was nice too

Blueberry white chocolate muffin
Yuri Y.

Pretty good drip coffee, great croissant, great muffin, great scone, great sandwich. Baked goods in general looked awesome. Blueberry in the blueberry muffin was giant and juicy. Croissant sandwich was really good. Giant croissant. Scone was nice and crisp on the outside. Will visit again when I'm in the neighborhood.

Interior

This was my first time to visit this coffee shop as I was working in this neighbourhood. I saw some good or bad comments about this coffee shop. I tried the other branches at other two locations. They were pretty good, so I decided to try this one on west broadway. I came here around 1pm. There was some customers. No lineup. It was great! A barista at the cashier greeted me with a pleasant smile and asked for my order. I ordered a cheddar cheese scone and a cup of 12oz latte. They cost me $8.05. The price was average and reasonable. The scone was soft but it would be nice if a barista could heat it up a little bit, so it would be warm and fresh again. The latte was smooth and had a good balance of milk and coffee. I liked it. The ambience was comfortable but I did not have a chance to sit, eat and relax here. Overall, I had a great experience here.

Flat white ... nutty notes with bright acidity
Soleil S.

3.5 stars ... definitely a cut above your typical corporate brands with it's great offering of different beans roasted right in Vancouver. For me, I discovered this spot in Toronto Beanstock and happily made this my first stop in Vancouver. I have a soft spot for Pallet as this woke me up to African beans with their Ethiopia Kayon Mountain single origin. If this is available on the daily menu, grab a pour over and drink it black. This is one of the best beans I've had in a long time. It is the rare moment where the notes describe ring so true in tastes... the prominent blueberry notes just rises in the midst of the sip and ending truer near the end. As for this particular location, I liked it as it had large windows to let in the light and several spots to allow different group sizes to sit, sip, and enjoy. The space is quite airy with it's vaulted ceilings and use of blonde woods ... minimalist in a Nordic type of way. Definitely more spacious than downtown Vancouver coffee spots so the laptop horde can sit for hours undisturbed. On a random Saturday morning, this wasn't too busy and most of the tables were still available. Unlike other reviews, I didnt experience any of the bad customer service. I didnt get a great engaged barista but I had no issue requesting a flat white or more bags of Kayon Mountain to buy. If anything, I would say they're on par with most independent coffee spots... decent service. Flat White made with Benchmark beans - This was their staple bean used for most espresso based drinks. Definitely more acidic and bright compared to beans I'm used to, this was interesting as you can taste a white grape tartness to this. I can see a casual drink calling this as being sour but I can admire how they made this fruit forward. I found this not be as balanced as other flat whites I've had. It was missing the creamy sweetness that followed through to the end. Not quite a curdled flavour but pushing the sourness envelope. 3.5/5 Flat white made with Fazenda Recreio beans - I like this one better than the Benchmark beans. The nuttiness note comes through stronger and it's not as bright as the benchmark. I think this works better in flat whites where you have less milk and foams compared latte or cappuccino. Still pushing the envelope of acidity, but much more approachable than the Benchmark. 3.5/5 I still like Pallet for the Kayon Mountain beans as it is delicious in a flat white but their other beans here doesn't have the same flavour profile. I'd return but only to get more Kayon Mountains and maybe once in a while try one of their other single origins.

Fancy drinks!

Great coffee drinks, delicious custom breakfast sandwiches (croissant with egg, pesto mayo, arugula and gruyere) yes please! My 4yr old daughter loves their white chocolate blueberry muffin and kid's hot chocolate! Check out the bear face!!

excent experience here... modern, fresh interior with a natural touch. awesome cortado, with cute coffee art which brightened my day. their almond croissant is the best ive ever tasted-- nice, crisp outside and oozy custard filling. the croissant was topped with what reminded me of hongkong-style bolo buns. (a cookie dough?) do try the croissants. great service and good food!

Ambience

So this review could have been a four if it weren't for some funky rude customer service from the cashier, but I digress, let's talk about the rest! So I've driven past this coffee shop numerous times and have never had a chance to go in. I was meeting up with a friend and she suggested we go. I was totally down. Cute coffee shops? Hell yes. So this place is bright, modern and beautiful. More appealing than a Starbucks, except for some of the ultra new ones. Actually maybe they are at par. I love all the fresh flowers, lights and seating. It's really lovely in here. So ambiance aside, let's move onto food and beverages. I ordered an Americano and it was good. Very standard but very good. I also ordered a sandwich which you can build yourself through numerous options but they also have some prepared options. I was semi confused about it, but all I got was a rude blunt response from a very melancholy cashier. Yikes! My sandwich was pretty good. My bill was around $13 for both the sandwich and medium coffee. Will I come back? Maybe, but I'm not dying too lol.

Coffee is okay. Slightly overpriced and the people who work there are not really friendly. Tip: Don't try the Columbian Pour over. Tastes really bad.

Custom gluten-free breakfast sandwich and cream Earl Grey!

Oh wow! Such a great sandwich!! Custom made gluten free sandwich and such a delicious cream Earl Grey tea! Wish I knew about this delight before now!

I ordered latte and avocado toast, both good. Bright and cozy place overall. But service is really so so. All staff look like not happy working there lol.

Drip coffee and macchiato.
Kirby W.

The decor at this location is pretty good, very bright and comfortable. The price of their beans are comparable to other coffee Roasters in the city. I tried their macchiato and drip coffee the other day and both were quite sour, moreso than any other place I've tried in the city.

AMAZING.

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!

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.

Christmas Season Special Item - Christmas Tree Croissant and Kuegelhoph…read more Christmas tree croissant with red stripes filled with hazelnut pastry cream and bright passionfruit jam. Dough was very buttery and crispy. I could taste strong butter flavor which stood out. Passionfruit jam dominated over hazelnut cream. It lean on sweeter side. I prefer more hazelnut cream. However, the croissant itself was one of the best. Very delicious. Holiday Chocolate Kugelhopf~ dark chocolate sweet bread studded with chocolate chips, citrus peels, and almond praline, rolled in sugar. I really liked kugelhoph's dough and almond praline! It wasn't too heavy, lighter texture and praline wasn't too sweet. So, sugar coating paired with dough very well. I would like to get this one again! Overall, I really enjoyed both Christmas items. Their baking goods was always top notch.

Small French bakery cafe set up on Fir St in the area going under the bridge to Granville Island…read more Limited seating options. Only about 4 tables and one long banquet bench. There are fairly high concrete steps from the front door to the inside of the cafe. Not easily accessible. Selection of French croissants and fusion Asian flavours. They have some sliced dessert cakes that look interesting. Standard coffee and tea bar. Croissants were buttery but a little dense. Overall a quick sit or takeout bakery in the area.
