Pallet's Roastery & HQ on Alexander Street is a weekday café in Railtown, east of downtown Vancouver near the harbour. The café shares a large industrial building with the roasting operation. A public coffee bar and retail shelves occupy the front, with seating spread across the open room. Come for a brewed coffee, compare the available beans and buy a bag if you find one you like.
The HQ closes at weekends and finishes in mid-afternoon on weekdays. Pallet's other cafés offer more options for a Saturday or Sunday visit. Allow time for a filter coffee and a look at the beans for sale.
Pallet has several Vancouver cafés. Semlin is the original East Vancouver location; Broadway is in Kitsilano, while Howe, Melville and Palate Kitchen are downtown. Yukon, Kingsway and Oak serve other neighbourhoods. Railtown HQ opens on weekdays.
Coffee
Pallet serves house-roasted espresso, milk drinks and brewed coffee. The Railtown HQ offers V60 at the front bar and sells beans beside the production area.
Food
The Railtown HQ serves coffee and pastries. For a fuller breakfast or lunch menu, check another branch such as Semlin or Palate Kitchen.
Service & Room
The large Railtown building houses the café, roastery, training and events space. It is east of downtown, so allow time for the journey.
