Pallet Coffee Roasters - Semlin Drive

the filter coffee here is worth slowing down for. pallet's semlin drive location sits in east vancouver's quiet residential stretch of commercial drive's western edge, and that low-key setting suits the place. you're not walking into a performance. the approach is straightforward: well-sourced beans, roasted in-house, brewed without theatrics. pallet has built a genuine local following over the years, which in vancouver's competitive specialty scene means something. it's a neighborhood spot in the best sense, not because it's small, but because it actually belongs to the area. if you're deciding what to get, the espresso-based drinks are consistently well-pulled, but the filter options show the most range. start with whatever single origin is on the batch brew that morning.
