You'll find this rather large (but still ultra cozy) cafe next to the Egon Schiele Art Centrum. The museum opens an hour before the art centrum does, but you should know that if you purchase tickets to the art centrum (it's amazing and so worth it) and a coffee over at the cafe, you'll get a free baked treat... which turned out to be what was basically an entire family-sized apple strudel that was made fresh in house. We ordered 4 coffees and had earlier purchased 4 tickets to the museum, so our group basically got 4 pies... that my sugar-loving SO promptly polished off. I had a few bites of my strudel and I can vouch that it was absolutely perfect. As with most food and beverage in the Czech Republic, the prices were pretty much dirt cheap. Like, I don't know why we ever left. For the first time in my life I could walk into a place and afford anything (and in some cases, everything at once) on the menu. For the most part, we had a hard time finding friendly service in CR, but this cafe and one other place also in Český Krumlov were the exception. There was one beautiful older woman working the entire cafe (though we were the only customers at daybreak) and she made the best and most beautiful cappuccino of our entire trip. Again, I don't know why we ever left. The place is decorated with works from independent local and international artists, but remains homey and casual with mis-matched vintage couches and coffee tables. If you walk around this expansive space, you'll notice several additional larger rooms, including what may be a children's play room (mind you, I only saw one single child the entire 3 days we spent roaming Český Krumlov) equipped with fun toys, a grand piano and several nude paintings... in true Egon 'statutory' Schiele fashion. You should also know that there's an annexed special exhibit gallery that you can enter only from the cafe that features some odes to Egon and other interesting works from up-and-coming artists. This cafe (alom with the art centrum and the city of Český Krumlov itself) is an absolute must.

The service could be slow as there was only one person working here and he had to wait on tables, make the orders and also take the take out orders as well. There are many kinds of tea and all of them comes with a huge pot, and the best part is it is only 4 dollars. Czech traditional snack Trdlenik is made to order so it will take about 10-15min. It looks like a doughnut but the texture was more like bread. I did not try their crepes but people seemed to be enjoying them. MLS is a nice cafe to take a rest from walking as they offer reasonably priced food and drinks and there are lots of tables.

Anyway, this place offers many kinds both sweet and salty and they are delicious. Yep, DELICIOUS. You heared it. And I am not kidding. They don´t have anything else to eat. But they don´t need to. Because local štrůdl rules. I got back 20-25 years into the time when I was a little boy and my grandmother was preparing this traditional czech dessert (ok, its origin is in Austria but let´s not ruin this moment:-) mainly with apples. And local štrůdl is definitely one of the best which I have eaten since that time. Just to complete all info. Service is very good, and interier is kind a normal. Nothing is really special except ŠTRUDL!!! So check it people. It´s definitely worth it.

Cozy, reasonably priced place for very decent Italian food in Cesky Krumlov…read more Comfy seating areas both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor seating area includes a playground for kids too :) Would highly recommend the spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino if you can take spicy, and the pizza prosciutto di parma. The pasta is hand-made; very tasty and slightly chewy (a bit on the harder side, which I personally like). Excellent prosciutto on the pizza and tasty crust (not too thin, but not too thick either). The mixed salad with cheese and olives and the spaghetti bolognese were solid choices as well. We had a very patient and helpful waiter, service was excellent and we left feeling replenished and satisfied!

I was wandering around the center looking for a coffee place open on a Sunday morning and found cafe retro. Staff was very kind, spoke English, Czech and some German. Interior is very classy but still casual. Very clean, neat and organized- I think couples, single and small groups best for here. Kid ah, maybe if they are well behaved. More a place to be social but people are still working on their laptops because here comes the shocker....they have free wifi!!!! Not many places here do besides hotels so that's a selling point. Their prices are fair for the location, 50 crowns for latte, 35 for espresso and so on. They also have quite a few different brews to choose from-impressive If you're a coffee lover in this small town with not many options.

After waiting ages to get seated (even though there weren't any…read moreother new visitors and the people that were there were already served and eating), I asked the waitress if I could seat myself and she snapped back at me to just sit and pointed at an empty table. After waiting ages to place an order, I walked up to the counter to ask, thinking perhaps I was supposed to order at the counter. Even before I said anything, the waitress rolled her eyes and snapped again, telling me to wait at my table. At that point I completely lost my appetite and started leaving - which was the only time she recognized me and said bye loudly in a really condescending tone. I wouldn't even be writing this long paragraph about how terrible my experience was if she had just kept on ignoring me and my friend as she had done in th beginning instead of making that irritating snarky remark. Not sure if she was just grumpy that day or if she's just plain rude. Not sure if super unprofessional or racist. If you don't want to be serving clueless tourists (although I feel pretty justified in simply trying to catch the waiter's attention after waiting ages in a cafe that didn't even have new tables to serve besides mine), perhaps don't work in a town that relies on tourism? Completely ruined an otherwise wonderful day at Cesky Krumlov. There are plenty of lovely cafes in town - don't waste your time here.

The number of choices is mind boggling. Each tea comes with a story of the tea and where it comes. I could spend forever just reading the menu. There is a garden courtyard out back, but unfortunately it is closed in the winter. The Early Grey was excellent. Deep and slightly sweet. No sugar needed. Roibos was also really good. Was a little disappointed with the tea biscuits but only because it was so simple. Expected a little more because the teas are so unique. Just FYI. It also serves at a hookah lounge so can get smoky. Not the best for little kids.

We didn't have too many plans for the night, but decided to hang at this tea house for just a bit on an evening that was particularly frigid, making a hot beverage in our bellies imperative. Not visible from the main road, be prepared to walk down the cutest, covered brick alleyway with world art and some pretty demented (in a good way) statues. If it's winter, when you first walk into Dobrá Čajovna your glasses will fog up from the heat and humidity inside. This is a good thing... because it's basically the only time in the whole trip that I could feel my toes and enjoy not having to be layered in a million shirts and jackets. We were immediately greeted and sat by the nicest man ever. I didn't catch his name, unfortunately, but I've since renamed him 'Leo Sayer' because he earned the title of 'One Man Band' (also one of my all time favorite songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2o2kdd_Veo). He's the host, server, brewer, chef, guru, entertainment, and more. Leo brought us the tea and food menu, which had about 100 pages of tea. One member of my group is regular tea aficionado, having traveled up, down, and around Japan in search of each region's finest. I enjoyed looking through the multilingual book of teas and reading the descriptions, but I left it to my cohort to decide on a pot for us to split. He chose a high-grade, rare, Japanese green tea that to me tasted like canned spinach and came with some very specific instructions from Leo, but he poured and treated our first infusion, so it was all good in the hood. Our friends got the Lover's Tea for 2, which is served in a super phallic tea pot. I don't know how many of you are familiar with the story of 'Double D*ck Dude' from Reddit, but the pot basically looked like that guy's junk in teapot form. A twisted version of Disney's Mrs Potts, if you will. I got to try it and it was pretty damn good. I couldn't have poured that teapot to save my life, but it was good when Leo or someone else did it for me. I was particularly hungry after missing the opportunity to eat dinner three night's in a row, I insisted on ordering a bunch of stuff even though my friend's told me not to and that I should wait for dinner later. But, I do what I want and what I wanted was to not risk missing dinner a fourth night in a row because restaurants stop serving food so early. So we ordered a cookie plate, some hummus, and perhaps the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. It was a wheat pita with hummus, olive salad, cardamom and all the rest of the spices you'd expect in a chai tea, but sprinkled on a sandwich with some pistachio bits. It was so good that I devoured the first one instantly and flagged Leo down to order a second one. Def get that sandwich. The decor is like being in a Moroccan gypsy cave, and the far wall is line with odd old-timey wooden puzzle games and toys as well as a large mix of both children's, historic, and erotic books arranged and displayed in crates like you'd see in a record store. I loved this location, but if you happen to be in Prague, Budapest, Krakow, Bratislava, Kutná Hora, Burlington, Vermont, Madison, Wisconsin, Portland, Maine, and Asheville, North Carolina, and more throughout the CR, I def recomend checking Dobrá Čajovna out.

Asparagus chocolate? Oh Europa, you so crazy... and I…read morereally, really, really like it. We came here after lattes at a nearby deli and were wanting to grab just a few sweets and you know how that goes... we left with a 1/2 backpack full of goodies for around $12. Not too shabby. The shop also sells wine and other candies but we were on a strictly chocolates mission. Their entire selection beautiful. The kind of chocolates that look like they belong in a wealthy old lady's curio cabinet. All the family jewels on display. The woman working in the shop spoke no English and we spoke none of the native language but managed to get by with only a few things getting lost in translation... like the price. We thought the price listed was per piece of chocolate, so at first we were being kind of modest with our order, but then when she rung us up and our bill was basically nothing, we started to add a butt-load of stuff on. Matcha green tea chocolate bar, liqueur chocolates... you name it, we had the shop girl toss it in our bag. So, how was the asparagus chocolate? Good. No very asparagus-y, but my mouth did tingle when I finished eating it and my pee did smell a little funny after. Just kidding... maybe. ** Extra points earned because this is one of the only places we went to the Czech Republic that happily accepted credit cards.
