Before the Velvet Revolution, Czechs often lamented that one empire had brought them the best of café culture while the next had made it impossible to get their hands on any decent coffee. No such problem today, as you will find in the plethora of cafés selling top quality brews. Start your caffeine tour of the city with these six cafés.
Changing the coffee landscape of their hometown, the founders of this chic, pared-back café drew inspiration from global capitals of coffee cool. Fantastic artisanal brews are matched by fresh sandwiches, healthful salads and other snacks.
Kick back with a naughty, indulgent treat at this modern café with a stylish but at-home feel to its playful décor and swish presentation. The comfortable covered verandah—more of a lounge than a terrace—is an ideal location even when the weather’s wet.

The perfect spot to take a refreshing break after exploring the castle, the picturesque terraces of this establishment offer truly operatic views of the Elbe Valley and the river port below.
This bright and breezy place offers a fast food concept based on healthy and good quality food. Ideal when you have limited time but want something tasty and nutritious to eat in or to go. You can select from their standard menu or decide on your own combinations.
