Love the store, welcoming and warm, pretty interior. I believe this is a branch with MLS CREPERIE in Cesky Krumlov. The Trdenik was good but, we had it in CK two days before which was amazing and we wanted to try again in Prague. Did not live up to our expectation.... I mean it's still better among all other tourist traps. Cash only.
The absolute best cake cone & bubble waffle cone there is! Delicious! I have heard about the donut cone before but when you walk into a creperie & creamery that specialize in over 20 kinds of bubble waffle cones & cake cones, you sit back, order, and allow this sheer bliss to take you to another part of heaven! There were so many choices so it took a minute to settle on one option. I had a bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream, bananas, nuts, and caramel. The waffle was warm, sweet, and delectable. The combination of warm ice cream was melodic. The staff was friendly, menu was creative, and combinations were pure genius. If you want to try a local sweet treat, this is the place to go. I tell you, you will not be disappointed.
To die for. Apparently, that's what Trdelink stands for. Also, another excuse for me to use phrases that make no sense(*), annoy me no end, and which I never include in my reviews. I'm probably going out on a limb here, but it's likely that tourist demand for Trdelniks has created a ubiquitous supply in Prague. Now, I'm not saying that Trdelniks are as Czech as the (aesthetically incongruous) Zizkov TV tower, but clearly there are other Czech desserts, like Medovnik and Marlenka, that lay claim to a more glorious culinary tradition than Trdelniks (known as Kurtoskalacs in Hungary and popularized from the town of Skalica in nearby Slovakia - by way of Transylvania, Romania). Don't believe me? Ask any Czech older than 35 if they had Trdelnik in their childhood... But, these chimney cakes are everywhere. And as if they weren't gut bombs by themselves, shops are now outcompeting each other on who can squeeze the last breath out of your clogged arteries by adding fillings like ice cream (yes, I get the appeal of the warm/cold contrast), pastry cream and fruits, etc to the cinnamon and dough calorie fest. Keep it simple. Wake up early morning to avoid the hordes on Charles Bridge and on your way there from Prague Castle stop at Creperie u Kajetana for possibly the best Trdelnik in the city. Unlike most other bakeries, you're likely to get one baked right in front of your eyes and served to you fresh and warm. Follow your nose here from the smell of cinnamon and melted sugar, and honestly the path is linear and easy to follow even on the GPS. I asked for chocolate spread to be applied to mine, and took it with me on my walk downhill (surgeon general's warning: don't attempt going uphill within an hour of eating!) Jokes aside, the Trdelnik was fantastic! Crispy on the outside and doughy and chewy in the inside. Warm. You taste the butter and the cinnamon sugar, not just the generous coating of the chocolate spread. It was the best use possible of 60 Czech Kroner early morning. Not a single person passing me on the street, failed to smile in my direction {all tourists, the Czechs are famously tight lipped ;) }. I did finish the Trdelnik by myself. But, within 10 minutes hated myself for the gluttony of an overachiever (lowering the experience from a solid 5 stars). I know even a dessert lover like me wouldn't have been able to complete this carb marathon, had I not prepped extensively for it during the prior weeks in Paris and Vienna. But, if you share the joy, you'll only sing happy tunes praising Creperie u Kajetana - best in class in Prague (4.5 stars) (*) hellooo!! Who wouldn't like to live to try the next dessert??
Last attempt at chimney cakes within a few hours. This time i ordered it with caramel and ugh it still sucks. Maybe this is what chimney cakes taste like? It was fresh but what's so great about these? I rather eat a cinnamon roll. It's so bland for a dessert even with the caramel.
I had the chimney cake here, and it wasn't nearly as good as it looked. They were making them outside, and they looked yummy when coming up to it, but when I actually had it, it was quite dry and lukewarm, and the nice cinnamon flavor on the outside didn't translate to an overall great taste for the whole thing. They also didn't give me one of the hot ones that they were making, but rather had a batch of finished ones on the side, hence explaining the colder, less pleasant taste.
Trdelník: 4 | Service: 3 | Ambiance: N/A (there was a bee harassing me around their outdoor tables so I ate it on the go) As other reviewers have said I was surprised to see a low score for this place on Yelp. It's highly recommended on trip advisor. So I don't believe this score represents the score for the trdelníks alone. I ordered the trdelník (surprise!), a hard-to-spell chimney cake, with raspberries and whipped cream. I believe it was the one with "angel" in it's name on the menu (sorry I forgot...). Let me break this down: Part 1: the chimney cake itself is pretty damn good. I am not a fan of overly-sweetened desserts and I think the light dusting of cinnamon sugar was very well done. Not too sugary and not too cinnamon-y. Texture was good, it could be a bit more warmed up but mine could've cooled down due to the fact that I had to run away from a hungry bee. Part 2: the whipped cream was not very good. If I could have a redo I would've ordered a plain one. The whipped cream was not sweet at all, buttery almost. Perhaps it was butter?? If it was supposed to be whipped cream, I'd say it was a fail. If it was supposed to be something else, then who knows. Raspberries are raspberries. Can't really mess those up hopefully. I found that the staff wasn't very friendly. It was hot though so maybe they just weren't feeling smiley? Overall great chimney cakes! Don't let the low yelp stars deter you. TLDR: If you're craving a sweet, sweet dessert don't get a trdelník here. Otherwise, it's the best trdelník I've had (just don't get it with whipped cream).
I had trdelník for the first time today at this creperie, and it was absolutely delicious. They roll dough around a stick and grill it, and you can have one of a choice of toppings (the cinnamon was great, but I'm definitely coming back to to try the others too!). It comes out piping hot, of course, so don't make the same mistake I did by biting into it too quickly. :) Stop by for some trdelník if you're in the area! It was definitely the authentic stuff.
This place is now called Waffle Point U Kajetana. I specifically sought this place out because I saw they offered vegan Trdelnik (chimney cake). I wasn't sure what to expect but it was absolutely delicious and such a sweet, light snack while walking up to the castle. If you are vegan, make sure you only get strawberry or almond filling, the rest are not vegan, but this is one of the only places offering vegan Trdelnik and so happy that they are because you shouldn't have to miss out on your traveling experience because you care about animals Thank you to this store for carrying a vegan option!
I found Creperie U Kajetana on TripAdvisor as it was rated highly for Trdelnik but am disappointed to see such a bad score on Yelp. Anyway I didn't come here for the crepes, but for the Trdelniks which are super popular. There is seating inside the cafe but if you want Trdelniks, there is a window out the front where you order and then you can sit inside once you get your order. There was a big long line when we arrived but don't worry, the line moves quickly. Between my husband and I, we shared a Trdelnik and got the caramel trdelnik which is 60 czk on its own, but you can get the "special" and have it with ice cream and strawberries for 149 czk - this is highly recommended!! The trdelnik is similar to a donut with sugar and cinnamon on the outside and they are made fresh right in front of you. The trdelnik was packed with ice cream and fresh strawberries. The ice-cream is much creamier and has a bit of a different taste than your McDonalds soft serve ice cream but it complemented perfectly the sweet "cone" of the trdelnik. You may think that you can finish one hole trdelnik, but my husband and I struggled finishing it off. It was delicious and highly recommend that you go here!
I had the galette with camembert, pickled pear, walnuts and cranberries. The picture I took doesn't look super fancy but it was really good. I liked the sweet-savoury flavours with the rich cheese. There is a small dining room and garden seating area hidden behind the counter in front. I went at an off time for lunch so it was nice and quiet in the back. read more
After extensive research prior to my trip, this was one of the two places in Prague I found that used vegan dough for their chimney cakes, and this place was the only place that had vegan options for their toppings. Of the three vegan options, I ordered two, which were (1) whipped cream with banana, and (2) whipped cream with raspberries. Even though we were the only customers in line, it took a while for the employee to get our orders because she seemed to be the only one managing the place. We also wanted to order coffee after placing the order for our chimney cakes, but we never got to because she was too busy making the orders and helping other customers. Despite how difficult it is to eat the chimney cakes without getting it all over your hands and face, there is very little seating available. There were 4 chairs outside, 2 of which were already occupied, and we did not dare going inside because of how hot it was from the oven. Still, I give this establishment 4 stars because I appreciate all of their vegan options! read more
We just came from Paris, so had the craving for a good crepe. A tad bit thicker than Paris but they were very good. I would recommend. I am not a fan of the trdelink (chimney cake), could just be me. I tried the ice ice baby and found it only ok. Ice cream was good, not great and neither I or my carb junkie daughter finished the cake. Very boring. Too close to the castle, so very pricey. I dropped almost as much on desserts and coffee here as my dinner preceding it. I would stick to the crepes myself. And yes this must be affiliated with MLS since the napkins had it imprinted. read more

This place deserves 5 stars just for the service. In a country where servers barely crack a smile, the people here were delightful!!! Not only that but they were making the pastries right then and there! Super fresh and warm. Ask for it with chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Worth the calories! read more
