Prado Perk Coffee Bar

Walking around balboa and came to this coffee shop, the coffee was delicious and tasted great. Service could’ve been better due to this girl on register being too distracted on her phone and didn’t welcome us until the boy with glasses welcomed us with a smile as she quickly but her phone away. I ordered a cappuccino and a unique type of mocha for my wife. I love and appreciated the effort put into our drinks as he attempted to do some art on the cappuccino.

Overpriced coffee stand with bottled drinks, decent coffee, pastries, and prepackaged snacks. I had the Oaxaca Mocha, which was $6.75 before tax + tip. It was pretty good, but had a lot of ice, so I recommend asking for light ice. The menu indicated that it contains nuts, and the barista explained that they put ground peanuts in the drink. I waited about four minutes. It was an interesting drink. The prices were high, but expected for a tourist spot.

Super disappointing customer service. The girl working acted like we were such a burden on her. Asked her questions about the different pastries and you could tell she just wanted us to go away so she could get back to her phone. If you’re going to work in customer service, learn how to.

It’s ok. The coffee can be pretty good here. They have pastries and lemonade as well. It’s Balboa Park though, which means that it’s a bit overpriced and just kind of middle-of-the-road. Worth stopping by if you’re already in the park, but I’d recommend going to a spot in Banker’s Hill beforehand, either WestBean or Cafe Bassam.

Perfectly placed coffee stand for a quick caffeine fix. Iced tres leche latte with an extra shot was perfect!
