Fancy a taste of Milan in London? Prada can help.

The Italian fashion house just opened a chic new pop-up cafe in Harrods department store. Prada Caffé, which will be open until the end of 2023, was inspired by Prada’s first boutique in Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II arcade and takes design cues from the brand’s international flagships.

The sophisticated interior is awash with Prada’s mint-green hue, save for the black-and-white checkered floors that mirror the label’s signature monochromatic designs. Velvet chairs in a slightly different shade of pale green sit by sleek black tables, while statement lights hang from the ceiling. There are also gorgeous floral bas-reliefs adorning the walls.

The tableware has been handpicked by Prada’s design team, naturally. Each piece compliments the cafe’s “serene environment,” according to Harrods. Highlights include the pale-blue Japanese porcelain dishes inspired by ancient Celadon pottery and the crystal glasses emblazoned with the iconic Prada triangle motif.

But what’s on the menu? A modern take on Italian food and beverages, of course. For breakfast, the cafe serves up Italian coffee and a doughy treat known as faggotini that comes stuffed with gooey dark chocolate, pistachio cream, and raspberry jam. Dishes like yogurt and granola, eggs florentine, and caviar are also offered from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The lunch menu offers starters and mains ranging from burrata and zucchini to ricotta cannelloni with black truffle.

Quick bites such as dainty Italian finger sandwiches and mini pizzas will also be available to shoppers on the go, along with a number of delicious cakes and pastries. Think hazelnut cake, tiramisu, and a variety of sponges. In addition to coffee, the cafe slings wines hailing from Piedmont to Sicily, as well as signature cocktails with quirky names like Tuscan Blossom, Mediterraneo, Italian Fizz, and Bitter in Love.

This isn’t Prada’s first culinary endeavor, of course. The house acquired a storied Milanese pastry shop in 2014 and opened the West Anderson-designed Bar Luce in the city in 2015.

  • Following the SpaceX playbook: Inside Firefly’s Rocket Ranch

    The $630 billion space industry is expected to grow to $1.8 trillion by 2035, according to the World Economic Forum. Much of that growth will come from the emerging commercial space market, led by companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Many smaller companies are following a similar path. Yahoo Finance got an inside look at how one of those companies operates: Firefly Aerospace. Firefly has multiple facilities outside Austin, TX, and recently doubled the size of its 200-acre rocket ranch to automate large portions of production and reduce costs. Firefly’s mission is to become an end-to-end space transportation company. The company is manufacturing rockets, including an upcoming medium launch vehicle in partnership with Northrop Grumman (NOC), orbital vehicles to service spacecraft on their missions, and landers. One of those landers, Blue Ghost, is set to become the third American commercial spacecraft to attempt a lunar landing later this year. That mission is backed by a $112 million NASA grant, part of the agency’s $2.6 billion Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, aimed at developing reliable transportation options to the moon for supplies and research—a step in the Artemis mission to put humans back on the moon. If you’re going to future-proof your portfolio, you need to know what’s NEXT. In this series, Yahoo Finance will feature stories that give a glimpse at the future, and show how companies are making big moves today that will matter tomorrow.
