If you’ve never dined at the Prada-run Pasticceria Marchesi in Milan or the Prada Caffe in London, there’s no need for FOMO. The Italian fashion house has just soft-launched its newly refreshed boutique at #01-01 and #02-15 Ion Orchard, now featuring its latest addition: an in-store Prada Caffe.

The F&B joint occupies the second floor of the duplex store, which spans over 12,900 square feet and features everything from ready-to-wear to homeware and fine jewellery. Inspired by Prada’s iconic flagship at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan – home to the brand’s first boutique, opened in 1913 – the cafe showcases the signature mint green walls and black-and-white chequered marble floor synonymous with Prada’s aesthetic.

Overlooking Orchard Road through its curved glass facade, adorned with the Prada triangle pattern, the cafe offers an elegant in-dining area with plush green velvet sofas, black marble-top tables, and dining chairs. There’s also dining-out service for those on the go.

The yet-to-be-confirmed menu features brunch and tea-time favourites. During our preview, we sampled items like Lobster Toast and Smoked Salmon & Avocado Crostone, along with indulgent sweet treats such as Berries Tartelet and Apricot Sacher Cake. Sweet-tooth customers will be spoilt for choice with tartlets, pralines, panettone, and pastel-hued monoportions that evoke the same sophisticated shades as Prada’s iconic bags.
