The word charming aptly describes this cafe.
Located on the same plateau, a couple minutes walk from the western entrance of Prague Castle, I was surprised on an early autumn afternoon that it was as quiet inside as it was. Aside from the proprietor, myself and one other customer, this quaint cafe was devoid of other guests.
The space is cozy, warm and eclectic, a handful of small tables with space for about a dozen people seated. They carry a handful of different dessert options, mostly cakes and a few pastries and one or two quiches made by the owner herself. Though I really wanted to try one of the cakes, it was before lunch so I ended up going with a meringue and a latte. The cookie was a textbook meringue, light, crisp, beautifully piped. The latte 72 CZK, while not particularly standout, was decent. The owner was kind, sweet and spoke English much better than my unfamiliarity with Czech. If I recall correctly they take cash and card, and a bathroom is available for customers though I didn't use it.
There's parking available in a nearby lot though not really recommended to drive, since the entire area is quite touristy by the castle with limited parking. Public buses and tram stop Pohořelec are available nearby.
A little oasis of calm on a weekday afternoon and I hope it remains so! What a pleasant experience. read more
