Coolest Cafes in Prague for Coffee & Brunch Lovers

Looking for the coolest cafes in Prague for your upcoming visit? This guide to my favourite Prague cafes that serve up great coffee and brunch has you covered.

I used to think Prague’s coffee game peaked at an average espresso on Old Town Square, until I ventured further afield on my 2 week Prague holiday.

Suddenly, my Google Maps is peppered with pins from Karlín to Letná, turning into a full-blown café treasure hunt. If you’re feeling lost between the city’s endless pastel façades and tourist-trap lattes, I’ve got your back.

I’ve taste-tested nitro pours at Acid Coffee, grazed on sourdough eggs Benny at Bistro Monk, and even brunched inside a fire-powered bakery lab at Eska. All so you can cut straight to the good stuff.

Grab your Keep Cup; Prague’s coolest caffeine circuit starts now.

5 Cool Cafes in Prague
(+ Coffee Shops)

1. Bistro Monk

Neighbourhood | Old Town Prague

Slide into this narrow, plant-filled nook on Kozí Street right at 8:30 AM opening, and you’ll beat the selfie crowd heading for Old Town Square.

Expect indie tunes, and an open kitchen cranking out sourdough benedicts and shakshuka that will fuel a full morning of cobblestone pounding.

I always order the avocado-poached-egg brioche with a side of their house-fermented hot sauce and pair it with an iced espresso tonic with cherry syrup. My husband swears by the berry pancake stack, which I can attest is some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had.

I also loved that this was close to our boutique hotel in Prague for an easy caffeine fix.

Weekend queues snake out the door by 10, so book via their website or show up early, and don’t shy away from sharing a communal table; locals are chatty once the caffeine kicks in.

Location: Bistro Monk

Opening Hours:
Daily: 8:30 AM – 5 PM

2. Venue

Neighbourhood | Old Town Prague

Just off Národní třída at Havelská 4, Venue is a lofty, plant-strewn bistro that runs an all-day brunch menu sourced from local farms – think roasted sweet-potato hash, tofu scrambles and killer eggs Benedict.

Order the crowd-fav eggs Benedict (regularly hailed as Prague’s best) or the sweet-potato hash topped with avocado crema; pair either with a V60 filter or their zippy cold-brew tonic. We enjoyed the scrambled eggs and bacon dish and smoothie bowl.

Tables vanish by 10, so arrive at rope-drop at 9 AM. Ask for the mezzanine two-top if you need Wi-Fi and an outlet, and don’t skip the house-made hot sauce.

Location: Venue Brunch

Opening Hours:
Daily: 9 AM – 6 PM

3. Eska Restaurant & Bakery

Neighbourhood | Karlin

Housed in a converted Karlín factory, Eska feels part Nordic test-lab, part Czech grandma’s pantry: an open fire crackles upstairs while jars of fermenting veg line the shelves.

Start with a filter coffee or flat white from their in-house roastery, then move to their cult-status Eggs Benedict on smoked-potato sourdough, Instagram’s current darling.

On our Prague adventure, we stopped to try an amazing sausage and salad dish that I would recommend, but expect the menu to rotate routinely.

If you’ve room, add a slice of rye-caramel cake or grab still-warm loaves to go from the ground-floor bakery hatch.

Snag a counter stool overlooking the fire pit for front-row plating theatre. Ask for the free “bread tasting” flight (three kinds with whipped kefir butter) before committing to a full loaf for later.

Eska is also located in one of the coolest areas to stay in Prague, if you ask me.

Location: Eska Restaurant & Bakery

Opening Hours:
Daily: 8 AM – 7 PM

4. Acid Coffee

Neighbourhood | Letna

Look for the hot-pink “ACID” sign glowing under the Centre for Contemporary Art on Dukelských Hrdinů and you’ll know you’ve arrived.

Inside, the vibe is minimal – polished concrete, a long timber bar, and playlists that swing from lo-fi hip-hop to Czech indie. Baristas push bright, fruit-forward extractions: try the seasonal Kenyan espresso if you like citrus zing, or go adventurous with their signature espresso-tonic topped with a grapefruit twist.

For something slower, order a V60 pour-over and grab a seat at the courtyard picnic tables; skaters and art students supply the people-watching. Pastry case highlights rotate, but the miso-caramel brownie sells out by noon, so don’t dither.

Remember it’s tap-to-pay only, and they’ll happily grind beans to-go if you’ve fallen for the house roast.

Location: Acid Coffee

Opening Hours:
Weekdays: 8 AM – 9:30 PM
Weekends: 10 AM – 8 PM

5. Super Tramp Coffee

Neighbourhood | New Town

Down a graffiti-tagged passage off Opatovická 18, Super Tramp feels like you’ve stumbled into a secret garden: string-lights over picnic benches outside, raw-brick minimalism in.

Expect rotating single-origin espressos pulled on a La Marzocco, V60 filters, and indulgent house-baked carrot-cake slices. My go-to order is the flat white plus a warm pecan cookie or simple yogurt bowl, perfect fuel before tackling the nearby Prague attractions.

Slip in early for a courtyard seat and solid Wi-Fi before the freelancers descend.

Cool Prague Cafes & Coffee Shops Conclusion

Start smack in Old Town with Bistro Monk for that avo-Benny boost, then glide down Národní to Venue for a second pour-over. Hop the metro to Karlín, where Eska’s fire-kissed sourdough will wreck every other bakery you’ve loved, and finish in Letná at Acid Coffee, because espresso tonics feel exactly right before a sunset beer in the park.

Bookmark these pins, stash a reusable KeepCup in your daypack, and treat the route like a self-guided cafe hunt: the reward is a caffeine-fueled snapshot of Prague that no castle tour can match.

Na zdraví and happy sipping!
