10 bakeries worth the trip across Czech Republic, editor-ranked by TableJourney. All Czech Republic guides.
Eska Karlin ★ 4.6 · Prague
karlin · Pernerova 49, 186 00 Praha 8
Eska's Karlin bakery counter sells bread 33, the city's most cited sourdough, plus kolache and laminated pastries. Bake schedule is built around the upstairs restaurant menu.
Tip: Bread 33 sells out by lunch on Saturday; sweet kolache last longer.

vinohrady · Belehradska 990/66, 120 00 Praha 2
Pekarna Praktika is Tomas Solak's serious sourdough bakery on the Vinohrady-Vrsovice border. Solak mills his own flour on-site and works with farmers growing heritage grains.
Tip: The pain de campagne goes fast; freezer-ready loaves stay good a week.
Eska Letna ★ 4.5 · Prague
letna · Veletrzni 290/42, 170 00 Praha 7
Eska Letna opened in February 2025 on the Letna grid as the second Ambiente bakery, baking the same bread 33 sourdough plus laminated pastries and breakfast to-go.

Antoninovo Pekarstvi Karlin ★ 4.5 · Prague
karlin · Sokolovska 81/55, 186 00 Praha 8
Antoninovo Pekarstvi opened the first of its six city-wide bakeries in Karlin in 2014. Wheat-rye and potato sourdough loaves, all baked on-site, plus made-up chlebicky and soups.
Tip: The decorated chlebicky are made up at the counter; ask for a flight to-go.
Antoninovo Pekarstvi Namesti Miru ★ 4.5 · Prague
vinohrady · Namesti Miru 585/11, 120 00 Praha 2
Antoninovo Pekarstvi's Namesti Miru flagship opened in a restored First Republic cafe space. Breads, decorated chlebicky, lemonades and a proper sit-down corner for breakfast.

Petite France ★ 4.4 · Prague
nove-mesto · Myslikova 185/19, 120 00 Praha 2
Petite France on Myslikova is the city's most committed French bakery, behind a mint-green shopfront in Nove Mesto. Baguettes, pain au chocolat, tarte au citron, all daily.

letna · Milady Horakove 89/116, 170 00 Praha 7

Sisters Bistro ★ 4.3 · Prague
stare-mesto · Dlouha 39, 110 00 Praha 1
Sisters Bistro is Hana Michopulu's chlebicky counter in the Dlouha gourmet arcade. Spreads come from a 30-kilometre-away farm; this is the modern face of the Czech open sandwich.

Pekarstvi Moravec ★ 4.0 · Prague
nove-mesto · Biskupska 1145/6, 110 00 Praha 1

Boulangerie Paul ★ 3.7 · Prague
stare-mesto · Narodni 25, 110 00 Praha 1
Boulangerie Paul on Narodni is the central Prague outpost of the French bakery chain. Reliable rather than transcendent, but the croissants are made on-site and hit the baseline.
Tip: The cheaper way to a proper French croissant in central Prague.
