About the place

Mercek Café is a cosy coffee and chocolate shop on Záhradnícka, east of the Old Town. It is open on weekdays and has the feel of a neighbourhood place where regulars know each other.

The owner behind the bar comes up in almost every guest review; it suits a calm morning coffee rather than a long stay.

What to try

Coffee is served as espresso, filter or cold brew. The shop also sells beans from European roasters such as La Cabra, Drop Coffee and DAK.

Pair your filter coffee with a piece of chocolate from the shop’s selection.

Good to know

  • A few seats outside.
  • Beans, filters and grinders are also sold in the online shop.
