Why it belongs in ORBIS
Pallet Coffee Roasters runs eight Vancouver locations, including its Railtown HQ roastery, sourcing single-origin lots from Indonesia, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Ethiopia. A subscription program offers 10 to 20% savings on regular orders.
Pallet Coffee Roasters operates eight locations across Vancouver -- cafes on Semlin, Kingsway, Broadway, Howe, Oak, and Melville, plus its HQ & Roastery and the adjoining Palate Kitchen -- all roasting the same beans sold through the company's online shop. Recent single-origin offerings on the site have come from Indonesia, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Ethiopia, sold alongside instant coffee, brewing equipment, and apparel. A subscription program lets customers pick their own coffees and adjust delivery timing, with savings of 10 to 20% over one-off orders, and orders over $45 ship free. The roaster also runs a wholesale side of the business supplying other cafes and offices. What distinguishes Pallet from a single-cafe roaster is this footprint: eight physical rooms across the city functioning as one roasting operation, rather than a solitary shop with a bag-and-go counter. The Railtown HQ doubles as both the roastery itself and a full kitchen concept in Palate, giving the brand a working-roastery anchor alongside its retail cafes.
