Alchymista

Prague


This old-fashioned coffee house with an adjacent art gallery is an oasis in the culturally barren neighbourhood behind Sparta Stadium. Freshly ground coffee, a serious selection of teas (no Lipton tea bags here), and freshly made cakes and strudels draw a mostly local crowd. Beautiful garden out back in summer.
