Pallet Coffee Roasters

Pallet Coffee Roasters was founded in 2014 in East Vancouver when a group of friends transformed a former fish processing warehouse into a roastery‑café. Led by co‑founders Sharif Sharifi and Shane Dehkodaei, the name comes from the simple wooden pallet, a nod to the logistics tools that move coffee around the world. Their first East Village space quickly became a community hub, roasting on site and serving pastries and sandwiches alongside expertly brewed coffee. Since then, Pallet has grown into a cornerstone of Vancouver’s specialty coffee scene, expanding to multiple cafés tailored to their neighborhoods while maintaining a strong focus on sourcing and roasting exceptional beans. Their Railtown flagship houses a state‑of‑the‑art roastery, cupping lab and retail bar, and the team is known for innovation, educational brew guides and a welcoming approach. Pallet’s story reflects a commitment to craft, community and continuous improvement.
