About Prototype Coffee

Prototype Coffee in Vancouver offers a passionate and high-quality coffee experience, appealing to both casual drinkers and coffee enthusiasts. Known for their pour-over options, they serve 19 different coffee choices, including the Kenya Rungeto Kii, which was praised for its bright, layered, and balanced flavors. The cafe takes pride in their commitment to quality, with in-house roasting done daily and equipment like high-end grinders and instant-heating water taps to ensure perfect brewing temperatures. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, often engaging customers in conversations about coffee and brewing techniques. While the flat white was smaller and not as hot as expected, the service remains excellent. The iced Americano and seasonal honey orange latte have received high praise, and the espresso tonic made with Guatemala Puerto Verde beans was described as delicate, full of flavor, and smooth. The cafe’s stylish design creates a relaxed atmosphere, although seating is limited with only a few tables, sometimes leading customers to enjoy their coffee on a bench or outside. Despite the limited space, it’s a popular spot, especially on warm Vancouver days when the lively vibe and quality coffee come together. The waffles, though sweet, add a nice touch for those who indulge, and the overall experience highlights passion, precision, and a community that truly appreciates good coffee.
