Prague: A Slow Traveler's Point-by-Point Guide to getting the best out of this beautiful city.

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.
