The café has beautiful sweets, they offer gelato. We had a wine and a beer and went to the terrace to relax for our wait. The cafe's terrace is what I really want to comment on. What a great place to hangout!! I never wanted to leave, lol! They've done their terrace with sustainable, recycled goods. Specifically pallets! This made us want to redo our own terrace for a good price, a comfy hangout spot! New project D'amore!

My Favorite Artist (Egon Schiele) + My Favorite Stimulant (Caffeine)... it was Český Krumlov(e) at…read morefirst sight. 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.

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!

In cesky krumlov this is the best place for coffee and espresso by far!!! Super impressed by this…read moreplace! 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. They also have some real food here too so if you get hungry while here don't worry, you don't even have to leave. Think pizza, pasta and steak amount others. All looked delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone in cesky krumlov- great hangout!

We visited Cesky Krumlov for an afternoon. This small city is preserved from the middle ages…read more Before leaving the city, we stopped here for a relaxing drink and pastry. The visually beautiful and delicious selection of pastries greets the visitor when you walk in from the Central Square. We were attended to efficiently and in a very friendly way by the staff. We walked to the front case after sitting down and we're guided to select a wonderful pastry with light cream and satisfying dough. The cappuccino was excellent with delicious coffee and a wonderful foam. My wife enjoyed her oat milk latte. The location in the central square is just a great place to watch the world go by. There are a few residents of the town; and lots of tourists! If you go to this small tourist village, this is a wonderful cafe to complete the experience.

Not the best coffee and dessert on the island, but very good especially considering you get a nice view of the square and fountain. I had the lemon cake with flat white.

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.

We came several times during a visit to Cesky Krumlov. It is also nice that they have clean bathrooms available for patrons. All the food we ordered was good as well. The BLT was great.

This place is popular and fills up as tourists wake up and look for a nice breakfast. We got lucky with decent tables during our visits. The other super awesome thing is they have kids toys which came in great for us and our kid. I will say service could be better. Staff are not the nicest or warmest folks.

While we were waiting my wife got a scoop of ice cream from across the street. We were paying customers sitting for a few mins by the window in an empty cafe.

Then she replied "well you are very rude."
