Vancouver Latte Art Hangout

It's no secret that Vancouver is home to some of the most talented and passionate coffee enthusiasts and professionals out there. Pallet's Coffee Collective was created to provide safe and welcoming spaces for these likeminded individuals to come together, share their knowledge, build connections and broaden their skills. All while having a damn fun time!
