Prague Coffee Fix

Prague Coffee Fix

Prague’s rich cultural history provides an ideal environment for the flourishing specialty coffee scene. From the influence of the Turks to aristocrats enjoying their brews, the city has embraced a diverse coffee culture since the '60s, with even earlier roots (like the sugar cube in Dačice, just south of Prague). Beyond its reputation for fantastic food, Prague impresses with its exceptional coffee offerings—truly outstanding coffee. The city has experienced multiple waves of coffee enthusiasm, signaling a serious commitment to the craft. Local roasters are on the rise, and small specialty coffee shops focus on specific brewing styles, showcasing a dedication to both equipment and skills. Below, you'll find some places I explored and researched, along with others recommended but yet to be visited. Prague has stolen my heart, so I'll be back for more, and rest assured, my list will be updated. One last note: as a non-milk drinker, my appreciation for these places lies in the excellence of black espresso.

Prague
@RoamingGraciously
Prague, the heart of Europe and capital of the Czech Republic, unfolds a captivating narrative of over a millennium. From the timeless allure of the Charles Bridge to the dynamic pulse of Wenceslas Square, the city showcases a diverse tapestry of architecture. Its historic streets harmonize with modern developments and verdant parks, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. Beyond its visual splendour, Prague thrives as a cultural hub, hosting renowned festivals and nurturing world-class orchestras and theatres. Museums, galleries, and the Palace of Culture add to the city's cultural tapestry. Prague's architectural treasures, spanning various eras, contribute to its allure, making it a truly remarkable and somewhat underrated destination. The city's warm and friendly atmosphere, coupled with a culinary blend of tradition and multicultural influences, offers a delightful experience. Indulging in superb coffee, and savouring the robust beer and sausage offerings, I cherished every moment in Prague and eagerly anticipate my return to this enchanting city soon.

Ty kávo!
@RoamingGraciously
Its a coffee shop and bar but mainly a coffee shop that gets rated well for quality coffee and staff that enjoy what they do. - I had issues finding coffee in this area of the city so think it would of been great if I could find it.

Dejvice is one of the most interesting districts in Prague, I just came across it riding around and this place really stood out. Strong locals vibe and they do breakfast and lunch but I only had coffee. - People having meetings and on laptops all over the place so good for digital nomads.

Three sites in Prague still manage to keep it feeling small they are roasters and have a good selection of savoury pastries. I visited the city site and enjoyed it.

Urban Café
@RoamingGraciously
A proper coffee shop with that as its main interest is some food and it's good but mainly it's about the coffee. - Plain and simple and tasty easy to all at any time.

The Miners Coffee Old Town
@RoamingGraciously
Speciality Coffee Roasters in a big way and that's cool sometimes. If the coffee and service is good it helps and this place has both. - Had a coffee scroll and it hit the spot just as much as the caffeine.

Můj šálek kávy
@RoamingGraciously
This place is great and has been around a few years and is still at the top of coffee addicts lists. I loved it and they do all sorts of milks if you need that stuff. The food is good I got a pastry on the go (I was on my bike) its was summer and I had a cold brew but they do it all and well.

Parlor
@RoamingGraciously
Super cool cafe doing big breakfasts and great coffee (cookies are also very popular) Internet is great and the staff are happy for you to sit around and eat and drink while working for the afternoon. The sweets all looked wonderful but I stuck to the bagel and was totally happy. I think Karlin is hard to find bad coffee in.

Did not make it out to this area and really wish I had more time to because this place sounded great. Perfect place for doing a bit of email catch-ups and enjoying the vibe. - this is another great example of bringing unique buildings and spaces back to life.

I am on a consent quest for unique inspiring food and beverages while celebrating the producers that make them, learning as much as possible about the cultures and regions I visit. Have a soft spot for well-crafted… well, anything --.Hailing from Australia, but currently savouring life in Northern Italy (a particularly good launch pad, in my opinion), I've mastered the art of blending philosophy with a fork. My travel philosophy? Didactic adventures. In my world, an ideal day in a new city involves coffee, bakery treats, bikes, a leisurely lunch, art exploration, bar-hopping, and perhaps a dip in a local pool (yes, I've got a list for that) local food. I have a little something to suit everyone and am versatile and adaptable when it comes to travel budgets, be it my own or others. You can find me anywhere from luxury to real-life affordability. In the rare weeks when my suitcase is stashed, I'm busy planning the next trip to visit a producer I have longed to meet, cooking or scouring antique markets for treasures (mainly spoons). If you haven’t found me in one of these activities, it is because I am tapped into academics; either developing my thesis research on the social culture of coffee or absorbing other academic papers that pique my interest.
