One of the only places in Prague (maybe except for Onesip) to get a good cup of coffee. Most places serve a flat white or latte with this terrible tasting milk but this place uses fresh milk and know what they are doing.
We had the toast with ham, cheese and tomato. It was okay but I would prefer if they toasted it a bit longer so the cheese would melt a bit.
I also tried their chocolate cake and it was unfortunately very dry.
I like the ambiance and would come back for the coffee on my next visit.

We have been a few days in Prague and went twice to EMA,which is our favorite cafe in Prague and,seeing how well frequented it is, a lot of people share our very same impression.
The cafe has some indoor tables and a couple outside,has beautiful large windows and is minimalistic.
They offer a variety of coffee beverages,tea and some pastries.
If you want to try specialty coffee this is the place to go to,as their beans really rock and are what I strive to copy as a coffee roaster myself.
Prices are fair for the quality and staff is quick and rather friendly.

Got a recommendation from staff of the hostel I stayed at to visit this place and they did not disappoint! It's in the center, close to a metro station which is superb. The place itself is small but it's so cozy! I love everything from the way it looks to the drinks, food and the staff!
I tried all of their poppyseed desserts (because apparently I am addicted to poppyseeds lol) and even the way it was presented to me on a little tray made me very happy. These little things are just so nice sometimes! And the coffee is fantastic!!! Absolutely fantastic! I ordered only flat whites but those were awesome!
I loved that there's this main table at the centre of the cafe, it feels very nice to just enjoy your meal sitting next to such a beautiful diverse crowd.
The baristas were so nice and helpful, definitely made this place even better for me. Recommend this place 1000%!

This espresso bar is especially popular among students and coffee lovers due to its atmosphere and focus on quality. You can have a small food here as well. If you like Starbucks like coffee, then this is not place for you.

Very popular coffee shop. Coffee was very good. However, the restaurant is not recommended for a full brunch. For a quick and easy brunch to go, however, there is everything. Seats are also very scarce. Almost always the restaurant had a queue.

Very cool cafeteria. Espresso is very good but cortado is even better. Nice ambience, young and courteous staff, this cafeteria wouldn't look out of place in the coolest neighborhoods of big cities. Only a bit disappointed for the later opening time in the weekend (10am instead of 8am).

This is my third visit of this coffee shop and I have to say it has to be the best option for those who enjoy the good specialty coffee. Place is always crowded but staff seems to be dealing it with no problems. If you are looking for good coffee stay I can only recommend you EMA.

Went there around 10am, it was not crowded at all. I had the option to choose between sitting inside and outside.
I tried a sandwich with cheese and also a croissant. It was the best croissant I had in a while.
The staff is super friendly. You order at the desk but they will serve it to you at the table.
Nice location, close to the city and also pretty cheap compared to other coffee bars.

Legendary Prague coffee shop. I went there with my wife for a quick break during a busy day of tourism in Prague. The coffee was really good, a flat white and a hand brew from Clever Dripper (barista said they make coffee in V-60 btw, but they do in Clever :) I like both so didn’t make a big difference to me). Tasty beef sandwich, pretty good (but not outstanding) croissant.

Best coffee in Prague and we tried a lot of coffee places. We had the coffee and the tea plus delicious freshly baked treats. Really close walk to the main square definitely worth a trip.

Great coffee that tasted like perfection in a cup, with plenty of pastries to offer tried the plain croissant and focaccia that were both delicious.

Now, that’s a perfect coffee shop! You can’t miss it if you are in Prague. Sometimes crowded, but great to stay in or out for the perfect flavour.

Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na PĹ™ĂkopÄ›, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafĂ©s, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.
