Perhaps the least exploited part of Prague. Some kavarnas will transport you 50 years back; retrieve your souls in cajovnas sipping one of the hundreds of teas they offer. All Cajovnas are non-smoking (it's part of the experience) except for basama; don't forget to take your shoes off entering those quiet mazes. Kavarnas and cajovnas close early.
Imperial
Na Porici 15, P1 – New town

Tram 5, 14, 26 Mass. Nadrazi
08 – 24 daily

It’s just so beautiful - tiled walls, wooden floor... Just go there, order a coffee (you get a free doghnut), take a book and watch people going around in a slow beautiful pace. For a splurge you get to throw a huge bowl of "saturnins doghnuts” (read the books) at all the customers for 1943 Kc. You must be sober and over 21 they say. Crazy city !

Sip you tea (starting at 39 Kc) and smoke your water pipe (89 Kc, 20 different tobaccos) and just be ! Music is good, mix of world music, and reggae. Pity it closes so early.

A few feet away from the blind eye – so ideal if you need to relax a bit and find your inner soul, before you loose it at blind eye. Stay till you’ve found it and choose between hundreds of teas while playing card or any of the board games they have. Small, simple, homey feel.

Now this little hidden place is cool, once you’ve found it, which can be trouble.You first enter into a room with a few tables but a curtain hides two larger backroom rooms, both very cool. Just relax, have some tea, a chichi and a couple joints –yes, the only Cajovna I know of where joint smoking is encouraged. No coffee though, it’s instant –can’t be perfect !
