Bakery Restaurants in Prague

Prague’s bakery scene is a delicious mix of old-school Czech traditions and newer, hip bakeries that have popped up around the city. If you want to taste real Czech bread, skip the tourist-heavy cafes near Old Town and head over to places like Můj šálek kávy in Karlín, where the breads and pastries are baked fresh daily with real care.

One of the coolest things about Prague bakeries is how they change with the seasons. In autumn, you’ll find poppy seed rolls or 'makovník' just smelling up the street. And spring means fresh fruit-filled kolaches showing up at local stands. If you find yourself near Vršovice, stop by Stěrka to grab a flaky croissant or their famous rye bread. It’s the kind of place where the bakers know their customers by name, and the bread still comes out of a stone oven.

Tip: Grab a 'lívance' (Czech pancakes) with jam and a cup of strong, black coffee at Café Savoy in Malá Strana. It’s a little pricier but totally worth the authentic vibe and the view of the ceiling by the giant crystal chandelier. Trust me, you’ll want to soak in some local flavors while watching the city wake up.
