Dobrá Čajovna – The Good Tearoom

Located in a little passage right off the street on the same side of and down about a block and a half from Lucerna. Ambient atmosphere. VERY difficult to find a seat. The experience is rewarding if you do. Like all the cajovnas in town(And there are many more that deserve mention here. Find them!!), a full menu of just teas – Czech or English, the tea men are good at guessing – and a few snacks. {loadposition content_adsensecontent} Quality teas from every corner of the earth (also for sale by the bag at the counter for addicts like...

Ebel Coffee House

A great one stop shop for any Java head, this quiet little coffee merchant has just about any kind of coffee you could want. 27 Arabic, 3 robust, 14 blends, 7 aromatics, as well as over 40 kinds of tea.

Klub Újezd

Located right next door to the now closed Bohemia Bagel shop, Ujezd is not really a cafe but a breather room upstairs above the bar. Chessboards here for enthusiasts. Banana and pear juices topped with cream are quite yummy, but one drunk guy’s favorites are Vodka Bozenka andthe Vodka Rasputin. What does it mean to have your pen thrown across the bar and your book confiscated when the guy asks why you want to know the best drinks and you answer you’re writing for Think? Ah. But out of a sense of equanimity I feel compelled still to publish...
