Latte and cookie
Audrey T.

Honestly, a great cafe. I grabbed a latte and a cookie and enjoyed a nice little break with a book here. The lattes are always consistent and taste delicious and smooth.

Great cafe in the center of town. I haven't gotten the chance to sit down yet but the to go coffee experience is always great here. They have made some changes with everything going on with the virus right now and they are doing a great job!! They will put the sugar for you instead of being able to do it yourself and the sanitize their hands incredibly frequently. Great job staff and management!! The coffee is really good and it doesn't taste too strong, which is how like my bigger lattes. Highly recommend if you want to do a coffee date in downtown or want to grab some good coffee to go before going to Gastown or other nearby attraction.

If you like an artsy coffee shop, this could be one. The place is pretty spacious with nice inferior design, big window glasses, chandelier and big wooden table making it look like you are sitting in your living room. The mint color from their cup and plates together with their music making it so comfortable to stay here for hours working. One thing with big glass window coffee shop is that in the summer, you can get glare on your laptop but Prado has some big trees around it, prevent direct sunlight. They recently have turmeric lemonade which is really fresh for summer with nice yellow color. Only one thing I would prefer is having more outlets for people with laptop working here.

Pros: - stamp cards for coffee - 49th parallel roasters beans - cheap brunch w regularly changing menu - sparkling water on tap for café patrons Cons: - limited seats at times (ask ppl to share. They always do)

a cappuccino and a cup of coffee

Great coffee spot! Decor is cozy and comfortable. Service was great and if you have your coffee to stay it comes in a cute turquoise mug. Great to enjoy some conversation and some great coffee. They also have some amazing treats like carrot cake, cookies, donuts and bars. Highly recommend!

Super cute little coffee shop on a corner in a not so cute area. Once we got past the homeless person blocking the door, we were served great coffee and even greater baked treats. Staff was super nice and friendly. This is a great place. Lotsa natural lighting. Wifi. Baked items. And great coffee.

Flat white with 49th parallel beans ... it was pretty decent

So ... just a fair warning to anyone coming here. Though this spot is so beautiful and wonderfully done. It sits on the very edge of where the East Hasting is often warned to tourist and where it starts going to a look like most west end Vancouver. My experience probably would have been much better if I wasn't for some of the concerns smothering the positives. The space is quite nice... it feels like a Scandinavian minimalist did up a cozy cottage. Lots of woods but painted black or white. Lots of white tiles, angles, and edges. It's crisp but there's an underlying comfort in it. There are lots of tables of all types so you can sit and work. Service here was quick and efficient as they seem to work the morning crowd pretty quickly. The concern is not the coffee... it's the location. For starters, parking is not easy and though it's at the edge of East Hasting, it doesn't always feel like it. For someone who lives and breathes Vancouver, this probably is normal. But for visitors, it's a stark contrast to other cities. I saw a needle on the sidewalk in addition to literal crap smeared across the sideswalks. In addition to that, the people walking about are not ... well. They didnt appear to be too aggressive but some didnt seem to appreciate our presence or anyone who was not in the same situation as them. They were inside the cafe as well and they're deserving to be there as a paying customer. But it was clear some homeless girls were hiding out in there because they didnt feel comfortable outside. It's just not a feel good story. Prado handled this as best they could ... it's just sad. Flat White - For starters, they use the popular Parallel 49 and I felt they actually did a better job than Parallel 49 on using the same beans. I still unfortunately found this quite acidic bordering towards astringent tart. I'm not sure what it is but after drinking several other places using Parallel 49 and other micro roasters in Vancouver... these beans are not my preference. 3.5/5 Overall, I want to say it's a chill and pretty place but the atmosphere was far from it. It wasn't comfortable and it wasn't the coffee shop fault exactly. Looking at other reviews, it seems my experience seems to be anomaly perhaps.

Americano and a pretty cappuccino from Prado.
Eunice L.

I like this place! Solid coffee, lots of places to sit, simple written menu. Haven't tried their food but I always get their Americano and I like it! It can get really busy sometimes to find a table so that's the downside but it's an interesting place to people watch.

Ornella S.

Plenty of space, solid wi-fi, but most importantly great coffee and great food at great prices! I must say I'm impressed, given the skyrocketing cost of eating out in Gastown, especially if you decide to pick a popular and a little hipster spot. But not Prado! I had lunch with two big slices of sourdough topped with cheese, arugula and prosciutto and a pot of tea for less than $10!! Prado is a must, at any time of the day, and I'm so happy they introduced breakfast, brunch and lunch options! Way to go!

The Pink Latte
Bernice M.

This is a super cute cafe in the center of a chic part of town! It's walking distance from Canada's Place which makes it even better. This is a real definition of a coffee cafe. Real coffee, and the cutest vibe. I would recommend to anyone!

THEIR BFAST SANDWICH!!!!!…read more Mortadella supreme 10/10 - favorite cheesy, savory, eggy perfection - croissant was also perfect flakiness - sauce is immaculate - TikTok did not lie about this one Bodega 8/10 - potato bread was thicccc, not rly my fav - okay sandwich, nothing too special in terms of flavor but it's solid - sandwich fell apart super fast, sauce was okay with this combo - still good tho Hojicha latte 6/10 - not much hojicha flavor, very milky - not rly sweet at all I wish I could've asked for more sugar Matcha latte 7/10 - matcha quality is meh - very milk forward as well - not rly sweet also but was okay in this drink versus the hojicha Overall, service was immaculate. 10/10 the cashier was so nice and was so patient. We got our food to go but we were waiting for our uber for a long time so we ate in the store. She noticed that and gave us napkins. I felt so bad we should've just ate there at that point but they didn't make us feel unwelcome at all. Our uber came after we ate everything :( the vibes inside this coffee shop is perfect for a cute lil coffee date or friendly catch up but def not a study/work here type of coffee shop. Would come back!! Maybe to try their coffees instead. That was my fault.

This place is definitely worth the hype! There's a line out the door but it moves pretty quickly…read more You order at the counter and they will seat you at a table. Everything that we had was delicious, drinks included. Food/drink review: Ube matcha: (4/5) Delicious flavor, it comes sweetened and has great balance. Iced matcha: (4/5) Pretty decent flavor, it's unsweetened but had good flavor with the syrup that was added. Breakfast sandwich: (5/5) OMG. It was delicious. The texture, the flavor, everything was perfect. The egg was cooked to perfection. Rice pudding cruffin: (4/5) Delicious texture, moist and flavorful in the inside. Pistachio: (5/5) Best pistachio pastry I've ever had. I could eat these all day. They are rich in flavor but delicious!

We had a private event party held here. The food was spectacular but I felt that this cafe & Bar is…read morenot suitable to host a party for over 100 guests. One thing noticeable about this restaurant is the lacking of plates. They used majority of their plates to serve the food on. However the food were served as finger foods and we were expected to hold our food in our hand. Somewhat strange. They also ran out of glasses during the party. The bartender couldn't even keep up with our drinks. Anyways other than the above. The event was a great event. I got the opportunity to try all four of their mocktails: - Blueberry Basil Lemonade - Mango Lavender Lemonade - Minty-Berry Sour - Pear Lavender Sour All their drinks were very fancy prepared and my favorite are the Minty-Berry Sour and the Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I also found that there is some inconsistency in the glass they serve it out of. The food was delicious as mentioned before. My favorite out of their finger foods were the grill cheese brisket. OMG that was really good. The other memorable items are the porkbelly and fried chicken. I think the fried chicken is one of their popular items on the menu served during brunch. The cheesecake at the end I got was very soft but flavorful. The cheeseburger slider was really good too. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and decor of the place was nice. The restaurant is very small. Because we were over 100 people, there was a wait for the 3 stalls in the bathroom. There was not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. I think the restaurant can comfortably maybe accommodate around 40 or 50 guests max. I will definitely be back again someday to try their brunch menu.

My boyfriend lined up at 9:30am for a 10am opening and there were already 25 people ahead of him. By the time the store opened, the line was over two blocks long. I heard the line up was up to 2 hours long later that day so to say that Angus T is a hit is a bit of an understatement. This is a cute location where the emphasis is on sweet and savoury croissants but they offer Danish, cinnamon buns, tea, and coffee options. We ordered the limited offering of the strawberry creme croissant plus got a regular croissant, onion jam & bacon, pistachio & raspberry, and ham & cheese. All of these croissants were DELICIOUS and the regular croissant brings me memories of Paris! Yes, they are pricey but at around $1.50 to $2.50 more than a croissant from Starbucks a block away, it is well worth it as a treat. I look forward to tasting more flavours and taking friends here to catch up over a delicious croissant and hot cup of tea. The River District neighbourhood needed a cute café like this and so glad they are finally open. Pro tip: if enjoying the treats at home, reheat the croissants in low heat. They taste better warm!

First of all, I love their coffee. I was not familiar with Turkish coffee until I found this place,…read moreand the coffee stands out for being rich and smoky. Also, they always give you a little coconut treat along with your drink, which I have always found to be a nice touch. The baristas are always so nice and welcoming, and I think they're actually Turkish as well. Also, the inside of the shop is so cute, lots of plants and sunlight. Honestly, this is one of my favorite coffee shops in Vancouver, there's something about the vibe here and the coffee that just brings me a lot of joy. I haven't really tried their pastries yet but I am looking forward to do so when I have a sweet tooth! Because of how this place makes me feel and the quality of the coffee, this deserves 5 stars for me.

The cafe is cute and clean, with a surprising amount of seating for a small space. We ordered a Pistachio Croissant and a Pain au Chocolate. The Pistachio Croissant was the better of the two.

They also have a lot of other desserts and savory sandwiches. They might be great, but we didn't get to try them this time.
