I‘m addicted to coffee and I’m in love with the European coffeehouse-culture, so my Prague trip was dominated by vistis of several unique and famous coffee houses. But what do they have in common? The hospitality and tasty self-made desserts. There should be a guide about the best coffeehouses in Prague! I started my research and quickly noticed that Prague can really measure itself with other important coffee cities like New York or Vienna.
Do you know about Laskonka? The famous Czech macarons! Absolutely delicious! Together with the famous “Buchteln“, traditional pastries from Czech fairytales, they make for a great coffee side-dish. Those delicious pastries are available with different fillings like quark, plum jam or poppy seeds. But let’s skip the delicious treats and jump right into the coffeehouses of Prague:

You’ll find a mixture of chic modernity and historical tradition in the Café Slavia. It is located right in the city centre next to the National Theatre. Famous people like Antonín Dvořák or the author Karel Čapek already had a cup of coffee here. It was opened in 1884 and still maintains its unique flair even today.

The Café Louvre also opened its doors in the 19th century for the first time. Philosophers like Mas Brod and Franz Kafka met there back in the days to talk about their works. Albert Einstein came to the Café during his time as a professor in Prague regularly too. The traditional and historic coffeehouse with a Vienna style offers a hospitable atmosphere and a large variety of coffee specialties.

This magnificent hotel with its art nouveau style from the 19th century is located in the old town and has a wonderful style that resembles Café de Paris – a Parisian Café from the 1920s. In a charming and romantic atmosphere, you can enjoy your coffee and a delicious homemade pastry. Of course I also tried the cake “Paris”, created after a traditional recipe from the year 1904. Tasty!

It feels like an oasis of tranquillity to be in the garden of the Cathedral Café in the picturesque Týnská Street. I was greeted by a mixture of rustic and lovely details when I visited this place. Truly a perfect to have a rest with great coffee and tasty pastries.

A Café and a showroom for furniture and home accessories the same time – that’s best way to describe the Kavárna Styl & Interier. In any case you’ll find tasty cakes and a fantastic coffee as well as a private guest garden in the courtyard.

6. Mamacoffee Londýnská

If I had to describe it in one word: comfy. Mamacoffee Londýnská it is not only incredibly comfy but it also offers excellent fair trade coffee from the famous roasting house Mamacoffee. I only noticed after a while that Mamacoffe is a chain with multiple locations within Prague. Maybe that’s a proof for the success of the concept?

The coffee house with the most beautiful green garden in Prague for me is the Cukrárna Alchymista. You can find it next to the Letná Park. The nearby coffee museum invites all coffee fans to learn more about the beans and how their favourite brew is made.

8. Original Coffee

The Original Coffee has a roasting house with unique coffee. This coffee house offers fresh coffee from its own business. Fantastic for all coffee lovers! Besides the beverages based on espresso you may also find alternative brewing methods. Definitely worth a visit while you’re in the old town.
