First visit and I will be back! I just finished a delicious apricot breakfast cookie ... moist and soft but crumbly ... a perfect accompaniment to my artfully presented beautifully foamed americano misto. The filtered water available through a tap was also appreciated. and ... a sweet "parklet" outside with tables and benches for nattering and noshing. Come and enjoy! :)
Lured by the smell of coffee, we walked in the Fir Street location (1809) last week, and what a nice surprise! Loved the lunch, loved the coffee, loved the spot! Pleasant ambiance, pleasant staff, all great! Thanks!
Our schedules worked out just so that D and I had time to meet up for coffee in between our travels. We were originally going to hang out at Continental Coffee, but it was packed, and Prado had a small table that was perfect for us. I had the cappuccino, and D had the mocha. We shared the cookie, and if I remember correctly, it was bomb. Peanut butter and cookie match made in heaven.
A nice atmosphere - high ceiling, off-white walls + grainy wood interior, glass front letting the sunlight in - all gave the place a trendy yet warm, simple, and inviting feel. My flat white and a "cookie with no name" were both solid. If you are in the neighborhood, this would be a perfect place to hang out with friends or to read / work. Limited selection of food items.
Trendy, good service and delicious coffee (forty ninth parallel). Love the atmosphere and the area. Great outdoor seating and they make a solid cappuccino. Fast internet too!
Best cafe patio in the city to sit when it’s nice out. It can be hard to snag spot though, it’s a busy place. My americano was ok, my friend’s latte was awesome, and my apricot cookie was good (their muffins looked better, but the lady in front of me got the last :( ). I’ll be back for sure because I think it’s the best cafe in a fifteen minute walking radius of my house.
Cool spot for Coffee. And that's about it... Gotta say though the Banana bread is great, super moist!
A Shot of Rhythm and Blues.. I was very scared of the hipsters:) so I just got my espresso. mmmm prado has changed a lot!! the spro was sweet and the employees were friendly.
the cool white walls still exist. This place rocks!!
Delicious Baked Goods. I tried the Cinnamon sugar donut and loved it! One of the best i've had. The peanut butter cup was outstanding as well. The coffee was good.
Prado Cafe has always been a good spot for a good coffee. I've been stopping in for years. Recently the cafe has changed hands and has been taken over by a very well known name in the coffee industry, Mr. Sammy Piccolo. For those of you who may feel put off, nervous or intimidated by the fact that a world class barista and coffee artisan is now pouring your morning capp, don't worry. The lovely thing about Sammy is that his desire to serve and make you feel comfortable is 100% warm and genuine. There is none of the dreaded coffee snobbery or haughtiness present from him whatsoever - and on the flip side, there's no need to name drop either. Prado is wearing it's new cachet rather lightly, like wearing Dior as if it were your favourite pair of jeans. The coffee being served is from the ever excellent 49th Parallel Roasters, the espresso paired with creamy smooth milk from a local Fraser valley dairy. They have recently added some delicious calzones to the menu, and I highly recommend the raspberry bars, they're incredibly lush! If you haven't been by Prado or it's been a while, make a point of stopping by... Those stark white walls are looking a lot warmer these days.
Best coffee on the drive. They serve tasty coffee (49th Parallel roaster) and best small cappuccino on the Drive in my opinion. The young woman who owns the place possibly makes the best dry cap in Vancouver. Breakfast Cookies and Cran/Ginger muffins are delicious and worth coming in for. The scene is minimalist, lo-fi and the hipster scene easily shrugged off, it is the DRIVE after all...
Love Prado!. Hands down, my favourite coffee shop in the city. but everyone has their own opinion of course.. I've talked to lots of people that don't like this style of roast - i'd guess it is somewhere just darker than a 'full city' roast, but i'm a roasting n00b.
The place itself is beautifully done, it's a great place to be when the sun shines through the southern windows (in the spring or fall... it's hot there in the summer). It's always calm and friendly, some people seem to be put off by the clean aesthetic of the place, but to me that makes it more tranquil.
I appreciate how courageously and professionally they handle stuff. I love their products as well, it’s healthy. Wish the staff happiness and health
Prado has one of the best Coffee in Vancouver. Prado breakfast is on the picture. The avocado toast with poached egg, arugula, and special sauce. The bread was crisp, flavorful and chewy. Great variety of baked goods for vegetarians and vegans (an an apricot cookie is must try). Also, one of my favorite spots to work at. Good wifi plenty of tables (not a lot of outlets, though) definitely worth dropping by.
A busy, clean cafe with a nice contemporary vibe. The cafe bar is nicely spread out and the cups are stacked neatly. The sitting arrangement is cozy with writers chatting and typing for hours. People are usually friendly in this cafe because of a bright atmosphere, and the baristas make good coffee.
The other evening i went to enjoy a latte and they played the whole Shine on you crazy diamond part 1 to 9, and at first i was like dang I just want to enjoy my latte but then it turned into a whole sensory experience 5 stars
