Görlitz is a beautiful city that miraculously survived destruction in World War II, while Dresden…read morereceived the wrath of the British and American bombardment. Later, it was not remade by the Soviet bloc East German government due to insufficient funding, which would have demolished many of its old buildings (by then seriously distressed). Consequently it became the best preserved example of German Baroque architecture in the country. The Espresso-Bar Cafe Kränzel is a jewel of a place that epitomizes the charming character of Görlitz. It is located in one of the best areas of the city -- in fact the historic core. If you are walking between the Untermarkt (the older and smaller market square) and the church of Sts. Peter and Paul (a glorious architectural colossus), your likely path will be on the street called Neissstrasse. That would bring you directly to the Cafe, at the corner with the street Kränzelstrasse. The proprietor of the Cafe is a wonderful person. I learned that he, a bright artistic type who is quite personable, studied the art of coffee (in its many magnificent varieties) in Italy, perhaps the best place to learn all about it. Anyone who visits this place will feel most welcome, and certainly they will be treated to some of the best offerings available in this lovely city. The Cafe Kränzel is a great part of discovering the wonders of Görlitz.

This is quite possibly my favorite cafe in all of the Czech Republic!…read more As a Seattle girl, my relationship with coffee is about as serious as most Czech people feel about beer. Bez Konceptu makes incredible lattes and cappuccinos topped with beautiful artwork, iced coffees and teas with fresh mint or fruit in the summer, and recently added chai lattes to the menu, which I missed dearly from home. The cheesecakes and sandwiches are fantastic (the triangle with egg, cheese and special sauce is one of the best hangover cures I've found!) and they are all homemade daily. On top of all this, they are the friendliest staff imaginable, always greeting you with a smile even when every table is full and there is a line out the door. Most speak fantastic English and of course Czech, making it a favorite for both expats and locals.
