Latte Moment | Prado Party for their new Fraser St Location!




Hey Dolls!

The Vancouver Coffee scene has grown! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the opening party of Prado's newest location on Fraser St! I cannot tell you how excited I was to attend their PradoParty because I was officially invited to this event. As in they emailed me with an official invite where I got to RSVP and I got to RSVP if I were bring a Plus ONE! The celebration was open to the general public; however, it was not advertised from what I know of. If it were, I suspect there would have been a HUGE line out the door! So those of us who were invited, knew what was up! 


Just like all prado locations, this one had its own charms! I loved the wall where there were a couple of baby succulents just chilling in their little adorable pots. As well the fun industrial lights. I did find this location to be a wee bit cramped; however, it most likely had to do with the cafe being overwhelmed with many patrons! 


Lattes, coffees, mochas and craft beers were on the house [no matcha that night :( ]. Yup! Pretty much all you can drink! I got myself a delicious decaf mocha. It was served in a warm clear cup with no handles. Since it was quite loud and crazy inside, my friend and I sat outside on the benches in the glow of their signature COFFEE marquee sign. The sky was clear with not a cloud in sight and it was just nice to sit in the fresh air with my fingers wrapped around a cozy warm glass as I sipped on my delightful mocha that warmed my insides from head to toe! 


I did not get a chance to see what sort of food will be served at this location. There is a kitchen and I did see a guest enjoying a perfectly golden panini, the sides oozing with cheese! I will most likely need to revisit PRADO on Fraser st. in the near future to sample the food! hehe


Overall, a fabulous new Prado Cafe joining the Fraser district of Vancouver. I do wish this location had a large communal wood table versus smaller two people tables and some bar tables. I personally like to spread my work out on a large work surface haha! Prado Cafe's use Parallel 49th coffee beans - local supporting local - YAY! 

Are you excited for the new Prado on Fraser St? Let me know in the comments below! Hehe as well as any other places you think I should visit. BTW the pictures were taken when it was dark out and I am still using my 55m lens. I am hoping to get a new lens soon for my Nikon DSLR that will bring in more light and keep the vivid colours alive!
