Coffee culture in Prague runs on two parallel tracks: the gilded First Republic cafes and a sharp modern espresso scene. Cafe Savoy, Cafe Louvre, Cafe Imperial and Cafe Slavia keep the historic rooms alive, while EMA Espresso Bar and Onesip Coffee in the centre, Muj Salek Kavy in Karlin and Misto in Prague 6 lead the speciality side.
