My Coffee Story is a charming cafe located on J. Želivského street in the lively Žižkov neighborhood of Prague. This area is known for its bohemian spirit, quirky bars, and green spaces. The cafe itself is small and inviting, with a minimalist decor that puts the focus on coffee. They serve a rotating selection of single-origin beans from local and international roasters, prepared with care using pour-over, espresso, and alternative methods. The baristas are knowledgeable and happy to discuss the origins and flavor profiles of their offerings. In addition to coffee, they have a small menu of pastries and light breakfast items. The atmosphere is quiet and studious, making it a great spot for remote work or catching up with a friend over a flat white. Despite its high rating, it remains a local favorite rather than a tourist hotspot.

Don't miss

  • Expertly prepared specialty coffee from rotating roasters
