Au Gourmand
Au Gourmand is a French-style patisserie and cafe gaily decked out in colourful 19th-century tiles and wrought-iron furniture. It offers baguettes, pastries and a joyously bewildering array of cakes. Its caffè latte is among the best in town.

Bohemia Bagel - Malá Strana
Not everyone still rates this one-time backpackers' favourite and internet café, but it's OK for quick snacks and all-American breakfasts. There's a Staré Město branch, too.

Bohemia Bagel - Staré Město
When there were fewer choices in Prague, this expat establishment was more interesting. It still has its dedicated fans, who swear by the bagels, sandwiches, grills, American-style breakfasts and atmosphere. But with a more critical eye, the food looks a bit wilted, the toilets are sometimes scruffy and the internet access (2Kč a minute) is fairly pricey.

Café Savoy
Since its 2005 restoration, this gorgeous coffeehouse is becoming increasingly popular. Come for the stunning interior, brilliant breakfasts, Czech and French specialities, tasty coffees and good wine list. The pea soup Kč115 is delicious and filling but, then again, you could always blow the budget on the Kč3463 ( €125 ) caviar from the gourmet menu. Evening bookings advisable.

Café Screen
Futuristic-looking cafe ( Jetsons style), with its primary colours, translucent plastic seating and TV screens continually playing MTV. Pizzas, baguettes, salads and delicious stuffed savoury pancakes comprise the menu, and there's free Internet access for customers. Credit cards are not accepted here.
-
Cafe Slavia
Once-famous literary cafe, where performers and patrons of the National Theatre would gather to chat over coffee. It's a classy place with great views over the river, though the salads and chicken and chips-style dishes are uninspiring. Sit back with a seksint (the house cocktail of Bohemian champagne and absinthe) and enjoy the atmosphere.

Café Tramvaj
All aboard for lunch. Sandwiches, salads and pizzas are served up at this pair of vintage tramcars parked in the middle of busy Wenceslas Square, and while the food might be unexceptional, the novelty value will entrance younger kids.

Cukrkávalimonáda
This 20-seat gem is as sweet as its name, sugar-coffee-lemonade (also the Czech equivalent of eeny meeny miny moe). Its historic ceiling beams' floral pattern caps a fairly bare wooden interior while the blackboard menu offers delicious pasta, pancakes, salads, wines and cakes (eggs and omelettes aren't so good.) The 'superior' hot chocolate of 70-percent melted dark chocolate is positively primordial; apparently some even manage to finish it.

Ebel Coffee House
The 30 different sorts of coffee aren't really as good as received wisdom would have it, but this courtyard café makes a charming bolthole to avoid the crowds around the corner on the Old Town Sq.
-
Grand Café Orient
Cubism shines in this reborn gem. The 2005 refurbishment - after an 80-year closure - has followed Josef Gocar's original designs, with striking green cloth lampshades, striped green upholstery and an angular wooden bar and coathooks. The result is quite swish, and still as popular with locals as it is with tourists.

Káva Káva Káva
More people seem to come to this American-owned café tucked away in the Platýz courtyard for the wi-fi (charged for) and internet access downstairs than for the middling coffee. (It's won awards, but not from us.) It's a good spot for snacking, though, including unconventional bruschetta , served on black bread, and honey cake.
