Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for sweets. It would feel wrong to make this list without mentioning a coffee house also known for its fantastic desserts.

Pastries are common in cafes, but the ones in Cukrárna Alchymista almost outshine their coffee. It’s famous for its cakes, with some calling them the best in Prague. That’s a high compliment for a shop primarily for coffee and tea, but it is well-deserved.
