Kavárna Šlágr

Prague


Walking into this evocative, old-fashioned bakery-cafe is like stepping back into the last century and the time of the First Republic, when Czechoslovakia was a young, prosperous democracy. There's a big pastry counter at the front (our favourite has to be the calorie-bomb Czech cream puff called větrník) and several cosy, secluded tables at the back.
