I love this place so much! The coffee the vibes and the people are all just so awesome. I always like to get the candied espresso, but the honey orange latte is also really good. They have made in-house waffles with a variety of different flavours to pair nicely with the variety of coffee that they have to offer. I love how all their beans are roasted right in the coffee shop, it's pretty cool to see.
As a coffee enthusiast, I had heard some promising things about this coffee shop, but my experience fell far short of my expectations.
The latte was subpar. The coffee itself was sour and just by looking at the foam, it was not properly frothed. The macrofoam indicates a frothy and airy appearance and lacks the smooth and velvety texture of what a latte should be!
The waffle was also a letdown. Overall, this place falls far short of the mark.

When you first walk in, it has a cool environment that's a bit dark and has relaxing vibe. They offer different types of beans. They also have a sesonal drink menu, as fall is quickly around the corner. I got a Spiced Latte and would not recommend it, as it did not have any memorable factor or wow to me. There are limited street parking in front and the location acts like a hidden coffee shop.
We came in for a coffee after taking the ferry from Nanaimo. They have different espresso varieties you can choose from. The Mexican in house cold brew was excellent. Please bring your own mug, you get 25¢ off.
In a city brimming with coffee shops, Prototype Coffee truly distinguishes itself from the rest. I opted for a simple pour over and grabbed some beans, and was not disappointed. The quality and care put into their brews are evident. A must-visit for coffee aficionados in Vancouver. Just a heads-up for potential visitors: they close at 5 pm, so plan to get there early to fully savor the experience. Highly recommend!
This is by far the best place in Vancouver if you are looking for a local roaster. They have four different type of beans as espresso. The beans change often thus it's worth while to go twice. They draw coffees quite long 40-60s but with low pressure profile 4bar to keep the excellent fruitiness of their beans. A must !!! for any coffee lover.
Definitely one of the best coffee shops in Vancouver! High quality coffee beans with distinctive taste. The staffs are knowledgeable and super friendly. Their waffles are freshly made which I was quite surprised when I got the one that’s still warm!
Love the place, great coffee + waffle smell. ☕️🧇 Macchiato with their Brazil Esperanza bean, well balanced. The Oat Flat White n Blue London Fog are great as well. Tried the waffles, delicious.
