Where can you have good coffee in Prague to go when indoor dining, and sipping, is not allowed due to the coronavirus pandemic? That is the questions we have asked - and answered - for you.
We love specialty coffee, and we write about Prague coffee shops quite regularly here: the last time we did it was in January 2020. Oh, those were the happy, innocent days: little did we know how great the 2020 would turn out to be. Still, the January 2020 is a good resource on specialty coffee in Prague and if you have not already, you should check it out now. The first part describes the specialty coffee scene in Prague in general, while the second part list our favorite specialty coffee shops in Prague one by one and then by districts.
Anyway, in reaction to the second wave of the coronavirus spread, the Czech government has shut down all restaurants, bars and coffee shops until at least November 3. (We say “at least” because most professionals in the food industry we have asked don’t expect the ban on indoor dining to be lifted before December.)
Therefore, the only way to get specialty coffee in Prague right now is from a take out window or - God forbid - via a delivery service. But what coffee shops are open and what are the opening hours? Will I just get coffee there or can I also buy some food there? And will they sell me beans for me to prepare great coffee at home? We wanted to know, too, and we put in the work so that you don't have to.
