Muj Salek Kavy translates as my cup of coffee. The Doubleshot-run room in Karlin was Prague's first serious specialty cafe, serving breakfasts and changing single-origin pours.
Tip: Reservations save the day at brunch; the breakfast plate is the kitchen's tightest.
Address: Krizikova 386/105, 186 00 Praha 8, Prague
EMA Espresso Bar is Prague's tightest counter-only specialty coffee chain. The Florenc original near the bus terminal opened in 2013 with a Kees van der Westen machine and standing room.
Signature drink: EMA filter
Tip: Pour-overs come from rotating roasters; sit at the window if you need to type.
Onesip Coffee is a 12-seat counter in the Old Town pouring Candy Cane Coffee, the partner roastery the same owners built. A standing espresso city stop, not a workspace.

Tip: Order the daily filter and chat with the barista; takeaway crowd peaks at lunch.
Misto in Bubenec sits opposite the Doubleshot roastery and works as both a breakfast cafe and an open-source coffee bar. Tight bakery program, weekend brunch, calm laptop room.
Signature drink: Doubleshot filter
Tip: Sunday brunch is a real meal; the egg dishes are the kitchen's strongest.

Mistral Cafe sits in the Old Town near Staromestska, a bright modern cafe-restaurant running all-day breakfast, daily soups and a weekday lunch menu the office crowd queues to grab.

Eska Letna is the 2025 Ambiente branch on the Letna grid: bakery counter, Nordbeans filter coffee, breakfasts to-go and a small dining room for the morning oatmeal crowd.
Signature drink: Nordbeans filter
