Prague’s pastry culture is entering a new era, with a wave of innovative cafés transforming how locals and visitors enjoy baked delights. Moving beyond the traditional bakery or coffee shop model, these spots blend global influences, bold creativity, and a touch of nostalgia. Paté, founded by brothers Khanh and Giang Ta, brings a unique Vietnamese-French concept inspired by Copenhagen’s renowned Hart Bakery. Their menu includes buttery croissants, shokupan milk bread, and comforting rice porridge — a perfect balance of craft and culture. Over at Masaryčka, fine-dining chef Jan Horák’s ASK4 offers an elevated all-day dining experience, with dishes like truffled Croque Madames and tapioca bowls that blur the line between brunch, café fare, and fine cuisine.

In Vršovice, Kobliha, a Brno favorite, has quickly become a local hit with its playful seasonal donut creations — think pumpkin spice cheesecake and Black Forest-inspired flavors. For those with dietary restrictions, Mūza Café in Vinohrady sets a new standard for inclusive indulgence, serving vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free pastries that don’t compromise on taste or texture. And finally, the Furiant pop-up at the former Café Parnas on Smetanovo nábřeží brings back Czech childhood classics with a modern flair — from creamy kremeš to plum dumplings reinvented with finesse. Together, these cafés showcase Prague’s growing appetite for inventive, cross-cultural, and joyfully unpretentious pastries.
