11 Prague Cafés Where You Can Work – Which One’s Right for You?

Like most freelancers, I love getting out of the house every now and then to work somewhere with great coffee and good vibes. But with so many cafés in Prague, how do you pick the one that actually works for your kind of work?

Because let’s face it, choosing a work café isn’t just about the number of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews. You need solid Wi-Fi, a decent setup, and an atmosphere that doesn’t make you want to nap or dance instead of work (yes, loud pop playlists, I’m looking at you).

So, after testing a bunch of spots, here’s my list of 11 Prague cafés that are actually good for working, rated on style & vibe, service & menu, and how well they’re set up for getting sh*t done.

☕ Let’s dive in.

Café Neustadt

📍 Karlovo nám. 23/1, 120 00 Praha 2 

🔗 https://www.cafeneustadt.cz/

Neustadt is right in the city center, tucked into the courtyard of the New Town Hall. Their coffee, food, and wine are all solid, and the lunch prices are shockingly good for this location.

⚠️ BUT—bring a fully charged laptop because there’s literally one power socket. Also, they love their early 2000s pop playlists, which means you will catch yourself singing along to Britney instead of focusing on your to-do list.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Unpretentious, artsy, a mix of locals & tourists.
• Service & Offer: Great coffee & food, table service, but slow when it’s packed.
• Work Setup: Good Wi-Fi, limited power sockets, can get cold in winter.

Cafedu

📍 Škrétova 490/12, Praha 2

🔗 https://www.cafedu.cz/en/ 

Cafedu is basically a coffee-fueled productivity machine. This place is made for working, full of students, tons of power sockets, and a whole setup that makes it easy to get sh*t done.

The downside? It’s loud and packed—so if you need absolute silence to work, this might not be your spot.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Busy, student-heavy, no-nonsense.
• Service & Offer: Decent coffee & snacks, order at the bar.
• Work Setup: Tons of power sockets, good Wi-Fi, clean toilets.

CrossCafe na Karláku

📍 Karlovo nám. 2097/10, 120 00 Nové Město

🔗 https://www.crosscafe.cz/kavarny/atrium/  

If you just want to work without distractions, CrossCafe is straightforward, practical, and unpretentious. It’s part of a chain, so don’t expect hipster charm—but the dedicated laptop table and plenty of power sockets make up for that. 

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Functional, minimal, no-frills.
• Service & Offer: Order at the counter, decent drinks & snacks.
• Work Setup: Laptop-friendly seating, power sockets, mall toilets.

Globe Bookstore and Cafe

📍 Pštrossova 6, 110 00 Nové Město

🔗 https://globebookstore.cz/ 

This one’s a legendary expat spot. Half bookstore, half café, full of freelancers, writers, and students. It’s cozy, spacious, and has that “I’m working on my novel” energy.

At night, it turns into a social hub with pub quizzes, open mics, and book clubs, so if you need absolute focus, daytime is best.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: International, literary, cozy.
• Service & Offer: American-style menu, friendly English-speaking staff.
• Work Setup: Power sockets, Wi-Fi can be unstable, spacious seating.

Kafe Pragovka

📍 Kolbenova 923/34a, 190 00 Praha 9-Vysočany

🔗 https://www.kafepragovka.cz/prostory-2/kavarna/  

This is not your standard city-center café. Kafe Pragovka is in a renovated industrial space in Vysočany, so it’s roomy, quiet, and refreshingly different. Perfect for escaping the crowds.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Industrial, minimalist, chill.
• Service & Offer: Drinks, tapas, and free water!
• Work Setup: Power sockets, decent Wi-Fi, “authentic” old-school toilets.

Kasárna Karlín

📍 Prvního pluku 20/2, 186 00 Karlín

🔗 https://kasarnakarlin.cz/en/ 

⚠️ TEMPORARILY CLOSED

This place is massive, more of a cultural space than just a café. It has a bar, cinema, volleyball court, a campfire, and even a sauna (because, why not?). It’s super laid-back, you won’t feel pressured to keep ordering, and you can find both quiet corners and lively spots depending on your mood.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Hipster, open, community-driven.
• Service & Offer: Drinks + some snacks, reasonable prices.
• Work Setup: Strong Wi-Fi, power sockets, loads of (alternative) seating.

Kavárna co hledá jméno

📍 Stroupežnického 493/10, 150 00 Praha 5-Smíchov

🔗 https://kavarnacohledajmeno.cz/ 

A super popular brunch and coffee spot that also doubles as an art gallery. It’s trendy and always packed, so if you want to work here, be prepared to wait. They don’t take reservations.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Hipster, industrial, buzzing.
• Service & Offer: Amazing coffee & brunch.
• Work Setup: Power sockets, Wi-Fi, not great for long work sessions.

La Boheme Cafe

📍 Sázavská 2031/32, 120 00 Vinohrady

🔗 https://labohemecafe.cz/en 

If you’re after aesthetic overload, La Boheme is a boho-chic dream. The coffee is high-end, the decor is stunning, and the whole place feels like a spot where people go to talk about their latest business venture over a fancy flat white.

BUT—it’s not really meant for laptop warriors. Even the owners say so. If you’re looking for a place to grind through deadlines, this isn’t it. But if you need a beautiful space for a client meeting or a “reward yourself” break, this is perfect.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Chic, stylish, international.
• Service & Offer: Premium coffee, brunch, pricey but worth it.
• Work Setup: Limited Wi-Fi (only via paper passwords, if it even works), not ideal for long laptop sessions.

Pracovna: Laskafe

📍 Vlkova 36, 130 00 Praha 3-Žižkov

🔗https://www.pracovna.cz/en/services/cafe-bar-en/

This place was literally designed for freelancers, which means you won’t be the only one glued to a screen. Laskafe is small but mighty, and the real gem is the coworking space in the back.

Need a meeting room or podcast studio? They’ve got that too. This is one of the most remote-work-friendly places in the city, as long as you don’t mind being surrounded by people actually working (no “fake productivity vibes” here).

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Minimalist, quiet, productive.
• Service & Offer: Solid coffee, snacks, reasonable prices.
• Work Setup: Coworking-friendly, power sockets, great for deep work.

Oliver’s Coffee Cup

📍 Václavské náměstí 804/58

🔗 https://oliverscoffeecup.cz/ 

This one is all about location, right on Wenceslas Square, but hidden from the chaos. It’s on the first floor of Dům Módy, which means no tourist crowds, just solid coffee and a comfortable setup.

It’s not particularly hipster or trendy, but if you need a neutral, convenient meeting spot or just a place to get some work done without distractions, Oliver’s delivers.

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Cozy, quiet, business-friendly.
• Service & Offer: Good coffee, snacks, central location.
• Work Setup: Wi-Fi, power sockets, just don’t lose the toilet key (yes, you need to borrow it from the bar).

Vnitroblock

📍 Tusarova 791/31, 170 00 Praha 7-Holešovice

🔗 https://vnitroblock.cz/

Vnitroblock is a whole vibe. Think massive industrial space, plants everywhere, and hip creative types clicking away on their laptops while sipping third-wave coffee.

It’s a cultural center first, café second, which means there’s always something happening. It’s spacious enough to find a quiet corner to work, but it’s also great for meetings, collaborations, and networking (or just pretending to work while you people-watch).

✅ Quick breakdown:

• Vibe: Hipster, spacious, creative. Oh, and if you love dogs—you’ll be in heaven. 🐶
• Service & Offer: Great coffee, food, a bit understaffed at times.
• Work Setup: Wi-Fi, power sockets, Instagram-worthy everything.
