Quiet Please

The chocolate brownie was yummy and reasonably priced. The coffee was fine. Nice location.

Basic coffee shop, not a lot of baking selection, zero art, minimalist decor, dead quiet.
I would only go back here if I wanted to recreate the feeling of being in church or a library.

Lots of and serious single folks on laptops. yawn.

Great Coffee, Great Location & Setup

I really like Prado. A lot of people consider it the standard for coffee in Vancouver, but I wouldn't go that far. I go there most mornings for an Americano and the odd muffin. You can't go wrong with their fresh muffins just after 7AM.

The service is good. They used to have a reputation for being snooty, but I think that's really turned around the past year. Are the baristas as good as the snootier ones? Hit and miss - I find the odd grounds in my coffee and they use 49th Parallel coffee which is pretty sensitive in terms of how the shot is pulled (so I hear).

Along with Continental Coffee, Bump N Grind and the Italian shops on the Drive, this is a great place to swing in and have a nice cup. Wireless is typically available, if not from Prado, then a neighbour has one unlocked. There aren't many power outlets if you're into camping out.

  • citieguy : Though the Drive has lots of choice, this minimalist box seems like it was transplanted from New York or London. It gurgles with creative types, local hipsters, and travel escapees. Sip slowly.
