Restaurant Buzz: Prado Café

0

100 West Hastings St.

Four-time Canadian Barista Champion Sammy Piccolo has expanded his Prado Café concept on Commercial Drive to Gastown.  Piccolo originally partnered with his family’s coffee company, 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, in Burnaby, B.C., to offer guests ethical beans, and he created a construction company to build and design new locations. The new café opened in March, offering various caffeinated beverages such as fresh
drip coffee and flat whites complemented by a selection of homemade baked goods, organic, gluten-free items and grilled sandwiches. Graband-go options include grilled cheese on sourdough, and prosciutto with manchego, caramelized onion jam and arugula on a ciabatta. The 20-seat location includes a homey fireplace and opaque glass globes for lighting. A third unit is expected to open this fall.
