EMA espresso bar

Very good toasts. With spinaz, mushroom etc. And chorizo, ceddar… Perfect taste. Good coffee. Nice ambiance.

Great coffee and nice place. Bad thing is that they dont have wifi which is bad in case you have to work, so I wont come back again.

Wanted to stop my here today based on a recommendation and it appeared to be closed (permanently!) Can’t verify this since there was no one there

Nice coffee, café is a bit over-​the-​top hipster though. My medium americano was the size of a double espresso; it’s one of those cafes where it’s impossible to figure out where to order and where to pay; and the staff all have this air of ‘super-​hip’ about them. Nothing wrong with it at all, just not a place I would choose to hang out.

EMA Espresso Bar est pris d’assaut dès son ouverture à 8h du matin.
Il y a beaucoup de monde (même en semaine) et c’est un peu trop bruyant. Par manqué de places nous avons dû prendre à emporter.
Si EMA peut rappeler les nombreux coffee shops américains, les produits (la nourriture) est typiquement locale et tchèque. Les pâtisseries né sont pas du tout sucrée ce qui est assez surprenant. Les buns avec un mélange de prune et de graines de pavot partent très vite alors que les tartes (frgal) sont faites en quantité suffisante pour durer jusqu’à la fermeture.
Le latte est plus grand que tout les latte que j’ai pu prendre jusqu’alors mais malheureusement le goût du café est quasiment inexistant. C’est pas mauvais mais boire du lait chaud quand on veut un peu de caffeine c’est moyen.

I was really surprised to find a place with such nice coffee in Prague honestly. Had nice food like sandwiches and cakes aswell. Good place to while away a bit of the day

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.

I stop in here on my way to work or leaving work about once or twice a week. Usually when I feel like splurging on some great coffee. I tend to order similar things but the service, speed, and overall environment make this place special. They also have a wide selection of quality teas that I’m yet to try (but am planning on it!). I also order their jalapeño chorizo toast which is extremely good. The price for things is a little high but I’m willing to pay that extra bit for a quality experience. They also speak English and are helpful. Only thing I wish they had was wifi so I could do work in there but it’s a nice way to unplug from the Internet for a brief coffee break. If you haven’t had it yet and are in the area I definitely suggest popping your head in. Also, the music selection is always on point :)

I hate hate leaving negative reviews, but I am kind of in shock at how badly this place’s service was for us compared to all the four and five stars I see here. Maybe they were having an off day. Or maybe they just hate Americans. The two stars are literally only for the ambience: very modern, but with a cozy, not sterile feel. Good artwork, architecture and lighting. But that’s about the only thing I liked about this place.
I am not exaggerating when I say it took a total of 25 minutes and two trips up the counter before we got our whole order (somewhat) correct. And we’re talking coffee. They forgot about my husband’s aeropress, and when I went up to ask about it and my warm milk, they acted incredibly annoyed. She didn’t even answer me at first, so I asked if it just takes awhile. And she just pointed at this girl pressing down on the aeropress thing, and producing a very watery coffee-​like substance. I asked my husband if that’s how it’s supposed to be, and he kindly said, «maybe it’s different here? But this isn’t the kind of aeropress coffee I’ve ever seen.» Before I left the counter, the guy said rather abruptly, «I’ll bring you the milk.» Five minutes later, he hadn’t brought it. I went up to the counter, and he said «yeah I forgot about the milk.» And I said «yeah» — he didn’t even say sorry! And then he took the foamy milk from the leftovers of making someone else’s latte and put it in a tiny little creamer mug, to which it only filled up halfway. Um, What? It was also very much NOT the best Americano I’ve ever had. It was extremely bitter and was seriously lukewarm by the time they brought the milk. Sigh.
They also had no sugar left in their little cup of sugar over on the side. And we were there for about and hour, and no on came to check it. Cool.
On top of all this, they overcharged us! Initially I decided not to say anything because I didn’t want to make a fuss and seem like a picky american, but now I wish I had because this — coffee and service. was definitely not worth $ 7. This is by far the worst service we’ve had in our entire week in Prague. Maybe guess they only care about your business if you’re Czech? :(

Slightly beats out The Barn in Berlin for the title of best European coffee shop because, though for the most part the same, it’s roomier and less pretentious. Best coffee in Prague, some good food/​pastry options, very friendly staff. No wifi, unfortunately.

EMA, c’est exactement le genre de coffeeshop que j’adore!
Le décor intérieur moderne et chaud avec les boiseries, peintures nous fait oublier le décor extérieur moins accueillant des abords de la gare.
En arrivant, on s’y sent tout de suite bien: les plafonds sont très hauts, les tables sont communes avec un esprit de partage, les larges vitres font entrer toute la lumière et le comptoir invite à commander un café avec une délicieuse pâtisserie maison.
Le café est absolument délicieux!!! Pas étonnant, quand on investit dans la meilleure machine du monde la Marzocco Strada, on prouve qu’on prend les choses au sérieux!
On n’a pas pu résister à l’appel de la tarte aux canneberges (cranberries) et du beignet aux prunes. Un délice!
On s’y sent tellement bien qu’on y resterait des heures. Mais le temps passé trop vite et c’est l’heure d’aller tester une nouvelle adresse! Sacré foodies!

Coffee is good, soy option available. Ask for an extra shot of you’re used to North American style artisan espresso drinks, otherwise it will be milky. The best we have found in Prague so far, but don’t expect it to be as good as Vancouver/​Seattle/​Portland.
Cool/​hipster vibe. Good seating. Good snack options salad/​sandwich for vegetarians.

Wir haben das Café wegen den guten Bewertungen aufgesucht. Leider wurde ich etwas entäuscht, im Allgemein hat das Café eine sehr gute Atmosphäre nur leider war der Espresso zu heiss gebrüht, so das er bitter schmeckte. Wobei ich glaube das die Bohne von hoher Qualität war, schade. Würde gerne 3,5 Sterne geben, was aber nicht geht. Wenn wir das nächste mal in Prag sind werden wir das EMA sicher wieder besuchen und ich hoffe dann gibts 4 Sterne oder 5?

Simple yet delicious coffee shop. Initially it was difficult to find a seat but once we sat down with a mocha and an espresso macchiato it became a safe haven for rest after a long stretch of sightseeing. For a smaller venue they make great use of the space. Also it’s in a great location right off of the yellow metro line. Most importantly, the coffee was good!

Toto misto miluju! Jedina nevyhoda je, ze nemaji dostatek mista. ~ Love this place. Just one disadvantage — lack of space.

Ema espresso bar is so far my most favourite place in Prague. I love the stuff — friendly, easy-​going, funny and passionate about coffee. The place has awesome vibe and touch of scandinavian espresso bars. It’s not a place to sit and read a book all afternoon, but if you want to spend time on a hype vibrant place, then yes!
There is a possibility of buying all kind barista stuff like filters, tampers, coffee, cups etc.

The best coffee in 1−2km radius. Traditional and fancy air-​presses and so on. Free magazines and tasty cakes. Very democratic atmosphere and nice staff.

What a happy surprise to find this coffee bar about 10 metres from our hotel (the Marriot). I love good coffee, and it’s usually one of the first things I locate on my Unilocal app when arriving in a new city.
The interior is warm and wooden, homely and comforting. I love that the steps to the toilet are at the side, with no banister. Taking open-​plan to the next level.
The coffee options are good, my flat white hit the spot, and the toasted sandwich with mushroom and haloumi was so good! Really generous portions of fillings, fresh juicy mushrooms and tasty, tasty haloumi. I was impressed!
A great place to get a coffee coffee, slice of cake, breakfast or lunch in central Prague. Friendly staff, warm and bright with big windows (something that gets a big plus from me) — I like!

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?

I am torn on this review. Overall my experience was super positive, and that makes me want to give it 4 stars. On the other hand I was not impressed at all with their espresso. The friendly barista explained to me that their coffee was one shot of espresso instead of two, which explains the extreme milky taste of my latte, however not really having a choice of milk is disappointing for a place like this. Whole milk or soy. So me being lactose intolerant you are screwed.
Their desserts looked delicious also, and freshly made drinkable yogurt with fruit for 40 crowns or so was a steal. The atmosphere is very relaxed. No one pushing you out or forcing you to spend more money to hangout there. It is very modern inside and they also have lemon orange water on all the common tables to drink which I thought was a nice touch. Also the staff being super friendly and bi lingual was a big plus to this place.

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.

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.
