10 Best Coffee Shops in Prague
Prague is full of the epitome of quintessential European coffee shops. We were always on the hunt to find the best coffee shop to study at during our time living in Prague. These ten coffee shops were our favorites to study and work at, in no particular order.
We had cappuccinos on the daily so we can basically call ourselves coffee gurus. Here are the top 10 coffee shops for studying we found in Prague:
1. La Boheme Cafe
This coffee shop has a bohemian hipster vibe to it, hence the name La Boheme. The service is great. The space has a lot of light coming in from the windows, decorative bookshelves line the walls. It’s a pretty Instagrammable coffee shop. This is a great place to get some of your work done or edit some photos from your trips!
La Boheme opens at 10 AM but they do serve breakfast. Our favorite dish was the Vegetarian options available. They have great espresso, order a classic cappuccino!
How do I get there?
By metro: Take the A-line and get off at Jiriho z Podebrad. Walk down on Vinohradska Street until you hit Sazavka. Turn left and La Boheme will be on your left!
2. Muj Salek Kavy
Muj Salek Kavy is a cozy cafe with a bit of a grungy and urban vibe to it. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food they serve is healthy and trendy, ranging from light dishes to more filling dishes. We would go for breakfast and our favorite dish was the pancakes with the jam and sour cream.
This place can get crowded but the energy makes it lively. Muj Salek Kavy is located in the Karlin district which is away from the town center so you will see more of a local crowd.
If you go to Muj Salek Kavy to study, we recommend going on weekdays as you may need a reservation on the weekends.
How do I get there?
Take the B line and get off at Krisikova. Muj Salek Kavy is on the same block as the Krisikova exit. Walk down Krisikova in the direction that is away from the town center and you will see the cafe on the corner of Kriskova and Saldova.
3. Henri Espresso Bar
Henri Espresso Bar is close to the old town and has a quaint and modern atmosphere. This coffee shop is the perfect place to go if you need to stop and study for a bit before heading into the main area of town to do some exploring.
Henri Espresso Bar has a light blue theme going in the interior. There are cute light blue chairs, blue tile on the back wall by the coffee bar, and blue light coming down from the coffee bar and on the “Henri Espresso Bar” sign lining the bar.
It’s a small area but they have such comfortable couch seating. Order a cappuccino and finish that reading assignment!
How do I get there?
Take the B Line and get off at Namesti Republiky. Walk down Havlickova and Henri Espresso Bar will be on your right!
4. VNITROBLOCK
VNITROBLOCK is a super unique cafe. It was built in a warehouse and includes a cafe, a shoe shop, a mini cinema, a florist, a gallery, and a dance studio. VNITROBLOCK has a lot of comfortable seating and is a great place to study and shop around.
VINTROBLOCK serves a good and healthy breakfast and lunch. Come hungry or just grab a cappuccino! VNITROBLOCK is a must to come to at least once! We have never seen a cafe like this one before.
How do I get there?
This trendy cafe is located in Prague 7, right above the Vltava River. The closest metro stop is Nadrazi Holesovice, but it is a few blocks away. The best way to get to VNITROBLOCK is to take the tram to the Delnicka stop. The trams that stop at Delnicka are 1, 2, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 25.
Once you get off at Delnicka, walk towards the Vltava River and take the first left on Tusarova and VNITROBLOCK will be on your right.
5. Light Roast Coffee
Light Roast Coffee is a cute and perfect coffee shop away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You won’t often find tourists in this area. The surrounding area is modern, newly built, and corporate.
Light roast coffee is situated on a port which gives a nice view of a split-off of the Vltava River. The interior has a modern industrial design and is a great place to let your creative juices flow while writing term papers.
They have small bites for food and homemade sandwiches. As for drinks they have great coffee, teas, and homemade lemonade.

6. Dos Mundos Coffee
Dos Mundos is a small coffee shop with great espresso and friendly service. There are two locations, and although they look different, they’re both quaint with a modern interior. The two shops have a quieter atmosphere which is perfect if you prefer a more quiet place to get your studying done.
Dos Mundos has cakes and small bites to keep you fueled as you complete your homework. Dos Mundos roasts their own coffee and even just their plain espresso was amazing. If you have never had a plain espresso, this is the place to try it!
How do I get there?
It’s a much better option to take a tram rather than the metro to get to this location. Take the 1, 2, 8, 12, 25, 26, 91, 93, or 96 line and get off at Kamenická. Walk towards the Prague castle and Dos Mundos will be on your right on the first block you see!

Cafe Melvin is located up by the castle and is such a quintessential European coffee shop. The wall outside the shop is pink with pretty white open window frames along the outside. When it is warm, there are small tables placed outside on the cobblestone sidewalk where you can sit and study at.
The interior seems to have a slight country flair to it which makes it cozy. Order a cappuccino drink and a sweet bite!
Cafe Melvin is the perfect place to study if you are planning on spending the day in the Castle district or Petrin Hill.

8. Kavarna Kocici
This cafe is quite an experience. Translated in English, Kavarna Kocici means “Cat Cafe”. If you are a cat lover this is cat heaven. Even if you aren’t a cat lover, you need to try this place just for the experience.
While we do recommend studying here, it can sometimes be hard to stay focused because there are about ten cute cats roaming the room and sometimes climbing over your homework. All of the cats are really friendly. You’ll find that playing with them is a nice way to break up all your studying you have to do.
Along with having great cats, Kavarna Kocici serves a really good cake. Order a slice and a cappuccino and make some (cat) friends!
How do I get there?
Take the B-line or the C-line and get off at Florenc. Walk down Křižíkova for three blocks and you will see Kavarna Kocici on your right!
9. Parlor
Parlor is a combination of a cafe/coffee shop and an ice cream sandwich shop. Parlor has an earthy but clean interior to it. The shop is bright with white walls with lots of light that comes in through the windows. There are potted plants hanging down from the ceiling and potted trees around the space. Parlor has three different room areas which makes it a great cafe to get your pen and paper out and get your studying done!
In the morning, you may go for their amazing seasonal porridge and an espresso drink. In the afternoon, you make go for an ice cream cookie sandwich with many different ice creams, cookies, and toppings to choose from.
Parlor is located in the Karlin district and is closest to the Florenc exit. Many study-abroad students study here as there are a couple of study-abroad apartment buildings nearby.

If you really love Cafedu and plan on going there a lot, you can register to be a part of their study room which is broken up into a discussion room and a quiet zone. The Cafedu study zone is open 24/7 so it is the perfect place to pull an all-nighter to get that term paper done.
The cafe serves pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and vegan/vegetarian options. One of their signature unique drinks is their marshmallow latte. This fun latte comes topped with rainbow mini marshmallows on top. Try it out!
