Solid coffee bar with some snacks. They have plenty of pastries in the morning and a good variety as well. You can get different types of coffee drinks and they are good quality with an espresso machine based. Overall, I'd come back for more coffee.

It's a pity Yelp doesn't have a 10-star option because our visit this morning (Oct 22, 2021) definitely was that! My husband is a coffee aficionado and our extensive travel means having visited a very long list of coffee houses around the world. This probably kicked down quite a few others to land in the top 3! It's a bright and airy space with delicious pastries (didn't try the bread but that looked amazing too) and cute and friendly staff. Choices are the expected espresso drinks, hand brew (pourover), and batch brew (drip) with both single origin beans and a few blends. So far sounds like any other specialty coffee house, right? What made a huge difference in our experience was the obvious love for coffee shown by the staff and how excited they are to share that love! So generally my husband's preference is for pourover with natural beans but EMA was doing their one natural beans on espresso today. The pourover and drip were both washed beans. I got an Americano with the natural beans and hubby ordered a pourover with the Ethiopian washed beans. First they served the Americano with the espresso shot and a small cup of hot water so you can try the espresso by itself, very smart! Then as the barista was making the pourover, she gave us a cup of the drip coffee to try as well (it tasted like strong black tea to me which was great because I'm the tea lover in the family). She mentioned the Ethiopian was a new arrival and she hadn't tried it yet, so she was making extra for her and also tested it on the refractometer. Later, they tried the same beans on a coarser grind (still pourover) and shared a cup with us too. I absolutely loved v1 with the finer grind (the lychee flavor was amazing but subtle) and despite some minor language barriers, we chatted about the flavors and the roaster with her (a Norwegian company - Coffea Circulor - so a first for me!). Honestly had the best time! Photos for proof!

Supposedly the best coffee around. Came here to meet up with couchsurfers and we enjoyed our coffee and tea while sharing great conversations. There are plenty of snack options besides the limited beverage menu. The seating is limited but if you happen to snag a seat and table, you are in luck! Unfortunately, they do not provide wifi.

The Linzer cookies are where it's at! I am still thinking of/missing them. The coffee is great too. The place is super packed in the morning, but worth the wait.

I was in here this morning and had a nice experience. I like that the menu is posted in large letters on the wall and is easy to read immediately as you walk into the shop. The person taking my order and the barista were very friendly. For only 100 Kc (less than $4) I had an excellent cappuccino and slice of apple torte.

This was awesome. The hype is real. Having read about how good and legit this place was, I realized I had to try it out. It's very conveniently located right next to the Namesti Republiky metro stop so it's very easy to access. When you first walk in, the first time that hits you is how nice the design of the place is. It's very open and clean--definitely reminded me of a San Francisco coffee shop. Prices are reasonable--I paid about 60kc for a latte, and it's a real latte. Not a cappuccino which is what every other Czech restaurant seems to think a latte is. But a real high quality latte. I will say that mine had a bit of an odd taste to it--not sure if it was the beans or just that cup, but the quality of the latte itself was great so I'm not complaining. Atmosphere in the place is great and definitely somewhere you would go to meet up with a friend and hang out. They seem to also have won some awards for their ice cream which is exciting. I'll definitely be back to try out the affogato amongst some of their other drinks. tldr; cool hip place with reasonably priced, high quality coffee. what more could you ask for?

What makes EMA espresso bar stand out amongst other good coffee places in Prague is the clean, simple, and stylish atmosphere. DRINKS -- 9/10 After hearing all the hype about this café, I went to see if it was as good as what everyone said. And it really was. I tried the mocha and the v-drip coffee, which were both excellent in taste and presentation. Water pitchers placed on each table for customers to drink for free was a nice gesture. INTERIOR -- 9/10 I was particularity impressed by the interior design of EMA espresso bar. Resembling the cafés I enjoyed in San Francisco and NYC, the clean white walls and simple wooden furnitures complemented the light bulb pendant lamps very well. SERVICE -- 9/10 The smiling baristas spoke good English and one guy even made decent jokes. No evil glares were given when I was there with a friend studying with our laptops out.

For a quick really good cup of coffee go here! Try the flat white. Lovely wooden interiors and even better coffee.

I stopped into this coffee bar to try the buchty. It was so fresh and yummy. We also ordered a panini and it was sooo good! Highly recommend. We had coffees and hung out for a while, but there was not a lot of seating. That was the only downside.

Really good coffee, limited food selection. This is clearly one of those places where they take coffee very seriously, and make it with care. Service was fine, they are clearly used to foreigners that can barely say hello in Czech, but it was relatively quick. We went right when they were due to open one morning and there was a queue to get in! Seating is limited, so if we went again I would get it to go and walk to a nearby park to enjoy.

This place hold true to all the hype. It is always busy and it is always good. They make wonderful espresso and awesome pastries, sometimes the line is out the door and you can't find a seat, but it is definitely worth it whenever you need your coffee. They also have some great sandwiches and a trendy atmosphere to enjoy your coffee and food. Definitely stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

Great coffee (order at the counter). Free water with fresh lime. The only downside is that they don't have free WiFi. The place looks very nice and the staff is friendly.

This place was recommended by a coffee aficionado so I thought I'd give it a try. It's a two minute walk off the main road tram/bus route so easy to get to. In true barista style the coffee delivered. It was great tasting, smooth and creamy although could have been a little hotter. It's small Cafe and has a friendly hum of people conversing. It's mostly a communal style arrangement where you're sharing tables or benches. They have a small selection of sandwiches and pastries. If you're a coffee lover I'd definitely give it a try.
