Fantastic breakfast and coffee!

Dec 2019 • couples

Fantastic breakfast and coffee! We had the eggs Benedict and avocado with poached egg on fresh bread, both were up there with the best we've had. The staff were very friendly too. Highly recommended.

Convinient place for breakfast

Feb 2020 • none

Right at the main square, this café is convenient place for breakfast and/or coffee. I had eggs with ham for my breakfast. It was possible to exchange bread that is served with the eggs on regular base with croissant. I'm thankful for that. The waitress was asking for mine and my friend's order without writing it down. As the result, she forgot to bring it. On the other hand, it was also not marked on the bill. What I didn't like about the place are toilets. There is only 1 toiler for ladies, and 1 toilet for gentlemen. Waiting lines for the toilets were at the café in front of the toilets' door. If the café was full, it would surely bother customers.

Dear Jana, Thank you for your feedback. We understand your criticism of the toilets. Unfortunately, the house on the square is limited to building modifications because it is listed. Sincerely, Andrea

modern place with friendly waiter who helped us

Sep 2020 • none

We had lunch and drink. The orange juice was perfect. Then sandwich with poached egg/hollandaise sauce and salmon, Eggs were nicely poached , sauce ok, bread ok, but salmon was way too salty.

As it is hard to get a good espresso in town, we got perfect one here. Breakfast was average but coffee was just perfect.

Nice place with a great view

Feb 2019 • couples

Nice cafe with late breakfast (until 14.00). Good choice, also they have gluten free options. Good coffee, very good eggs Benedict with salmon. A lot of locals on terrace - enjoying coffee, breakfast and outstanding view :) would love to come here again.

Lovely for lingering

Sep 2018 • couples

We came here for coffee and beer and the view and we weren’t disappointed. The setting is lovely looking out over the main square. The service was good and the coffee and beer (original Budweiser) was delicious. Great place.

We waited 45 min for our breakfast to arrive. 4 of us were eating, eggs were under cooked, we found bits of bacon in the vegetarian eggs and the English breakfast was poor. My order was wrong but having waited so long, I just ate it. Waiter was pretending not to understand us and upsell to the 90kc bottle of water. Overall bad experience. Lemonade was nice.

Nice and cosyplace for a breakfast, coffee and/or glass of wine

Mar 2018 • friends

Very nice and cosy place for a breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee and glass of wine or prosecco right in the heart of the town of Budweis - at the mail square. No matter whether you are with a boyfriend, group of friends, family or a business partner you can choose from different locations and corners within the café according to you needs. Quality coffee and wine and perfect service.

Great cheesecake and atmosphere

Nothing compares to have great time with lungo and cheesecake in perfectly designed cofee house in the middle of Ceske Budejovice. Especially valuable after long winter walk across the city center.
