The cafes in Prague are great, and the specialty coffee they serve is
seriously good. It's easy to forget that or take it for granted. But when
we travel, one of the things we miss the most about Prague is coffee. It's
really that good.

It hasn't always been the case. Five yeas ago Zuzi came back from the
specialty coffee workshop and the number of coffee shops we could visit
shrunk to about two or three, much to Jan's dismay. Now when a new cafe
opens, it is more likely to have good rather than bad coffee. Sure, they
rarely bring anything very new or different to the table, but they are
usually good. And it's not only about the "centre" anymore. None of the
residential districts that surround it are actually lacking in the
specialty coffee department. 

So what makes the cafes in Prague so special? Passion. Specialty coffee
seems to be a viable career in Prague, and the baristas of Prague's best
coffee shops seem to genuinely like what they do. Most of the coffee shops
are  independently owned and can source their coffee from wherever they
wish. Prague's leading specialty coffee roaster has set the prices of
coffee fairly low, which means you get great bang for your buck. And at the
coffee scene's core lies a community of baristas who know and continue
pushing each other. And you generally don't get any attitude or scolding
when you want sugar in your coffee. 

It's time to reap the benefits. Here's the best cafes in Prague, according
to us.
