👍👍 Although this location is basically a public transportation hub cafeteria, it features incredible architecture which lends to a wonderful atmosphere. The service is very good and the food is above average. People often mention coffee, train, station, nice, main, cafe, good, service, staff, beautiful,

    I was in a hurry to take the bus to the airport so I asked them a cappuccino & a slice of a Fresh cake take away. when I saw they left two pieces I thought oh how nice they are! But then I noticed the weitere taste and when I turned the cake upside down I saw it is completely moldy underneath and musty! That’s when I understood the reason why the girl didn’t put the cake in front of me and tool it back side of the bar! Terrible experience although the place is so beautiful by the architecture!

    When you are at the main railway station in Prague - an absolute must! Just go upstairs to the old railway station building - it's an Art Nouveau gem. And it 'tastes' best combined with delicious coffee served in the Fantova kavárna. We tried ice coffee with ice cream and Viennese Coffee - both great. You can seat outside and admire the main hall, but don't forget to go inside the cafe as the wall panels are so beautiful there!

    Very historic and atmospheric cafe at the platform level where the beautiful dome is. Good service is appreciated. Lungo is good. Cakes and pastries are very well priced. A thumbs up.

    Good coffee, nice environment in the main train station. A bit on the higher side of pricing compared to in town places, but ok for the train station options. If you want to sit in a nice ambient, away from the hussle of trains and people running late 😂 this is a great option.

    Excellent atmosphere. All that's actually left of the old train station. And the owner has a great playlist (that she wouldn't share with us! 😄)

    Amazing cafe upstairs at Prague Main Station - search it out if you have 20-30 minutes before your train, or if you want to get a good coffee to go. Good prices - much cheaper than everything downstairs. And such a beautiful setting in the old building.

    A hiden gem of a cafe, with its quaint art-deco features, in the 2nd floor of the main station here. If you are travelling by train in and out of the main station here, this is definitely worth a half an hour stop for a vienese coffee and cake ! Look for a staircase - from the underground passage connecting the platforms - that leads to this section of the upper floor. It does not appear - I may be wrong - to be accessible from the main foyer on the ground floor.

    The place is really nice, it's upstairs, in the historic top building. Coffee could be better, but for that you have Costa and the rest downstairs, here you come for the atmosphere) All comes in nice cups and lovely served, but i managed to ask for a "to -go" version which is nice in case you are waiting for the delayed train and might run any moment)) And a tip, you can sit near the inside window left from the entrance, or "outside" in the hall and watch the train screen waiting for your train)

    Well renovated original cofee shop in the historical building of the main station. It is pity and strange that there are no washrooms inside of this business.

    Pretty little cafe in the gorgeous old train station of Prague. Friendly staff, good prices. A nice choice for a coffee or a drink if you are waiting for your train. Also, plugs to charge your phone.

    The coffee was good. People were nice. Food was not what I expected. I ordered sausages with course mustard and bread.

  • 4/5 Юлія �. 5 months ago on Google
    There are various dishes on offer, from high-quality Demmi coffee, fine spirits to delicious desserts or savory snacks. Time has not stopped, the coffee shop is more than 100 years old! You can come with your four-legged friend, connect to Wi-Fi for free and pay by credit card. There is a selection of vegetarian dishes.

    Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service. I had a sandwich which was OK but below my expectations. Reasonable Czech price level.

  • 4/5 Jonah V. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s great to again have a cafe here, although i do long back to the darker times here, before the renovation, when the drinks were cheap and the hall was an asylum for people in trouble (or causing troubles). But everyone was welcome here. A coffee would automatically mean a Turecka Kava. Now the prices more than doubled and you only see decent (and boring) people. But the staff was friendly and the coffee good. One star less because of the unpleasant prices…

    Beautiful little cafe. It is perfect to stop in and have a quick bite. The service was fast and the menu pretty extensive. The crepes with Nutella were divine.

  • 5/5 Silvia E. 3 months ago on Google New
    Beautiful art nouveau cafe, with excellent smoothies and coffee. Fresh orange juice and quite good lay roll with ham and cheese.

  • 1/5 Jan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor service, waiting time for menu of coffee, water and sandwich over 10min without notifying that we should expect longer waiting time. After kindly asking about order it took another 10 minutes. For the price, thus we almost left without order due to train leaving 30 min after making order. Taking advantage of the location - repeatedly poor service!

  • 5/5 Daniela M. 10 months ago on Google
    Thank you to all the staff members who are (for Czech standards) very nice and accommodating. They let me get lemonade into my own bottle, lovely blueberry muffin and warmed up my baguette to go all in less than 10minutes so I managed to catch the train. Wish I had time to stick around longer, the historical interior is fantastic!

  • 5/5 Dusan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place if you have to wait long time on your train. Very nice place and very friendly staff including very cheap prices in their menu!!!

  • 4/5 Marcus S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a joy to enjoy your coffee in this capsule of charm, history and architecture. Located above all the hustle and bustle of travelers down below. It's well worth a visit. If you are at the main train station take a walk upstairs and grab a drink. Service is fast prices are comparable to other shops. Seating inside or in front of the door. Cards accepted.

👍👍 The selection of unique flavors can tell from the start that you are in the right place. They choose an excellent name to describe their product. My large cup had a deep dark cherry chocolate, an apricot, and a lavender-blueberry scoop. The artisan ice-cream here is served by awesome staff that kind...
