Globe Bookstore & Café

Delicious hung-​over brunch in Prague. Kind of a far walk from Old Town (15 – 20 minutes). Additionally, the service was extremely slow. On a saturday at brunch time (1:00 p.m.) there was only one waiter and another joined him mid way through our meal. I had to flag down the waiter several times to get my peanut butter and oreo mixed milk shake.
THE FOOD:
My friends ordered a twix oreo (mixed) milk shake. The waiter said they don’t usually mix, but TRUST ME, order this combination. It was out of this world, and the milk shake was a perfect consistency, not too thick, not too milky. I ordered the breakfast burger which was a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg served on a bagel. I opted for fries instead of the hashbrowns that came with the dish. THE BREAKFAST BURGER WAS BANGIN. My friends would ask for bites but I wanted the entire dish to myself. The chocolate chip pancakes would be my second recommendation. The pancakes were delicately chocolatey without overpowering the flavor of the fluffy pancakes. Perfection.
I would stay away from the egg dishes. The two I mentioned blew the eggs out of the water.

I do like this place for it’s atmosphere. Nice premises, very American. Food and service are not very good but the events this place offers (quiz nights, movie screenings,…) is the reason why to come. That gives the place the spirit. Otherwise it would be just another overpriced bar.

Ich habe hier ein vorzügliches Frühstück genossen. Die Pancakes mit Schokolade waren riesig und sehr zu empfehlen, aber eine ganze Portion ist sehr süß, also vielleicht besser mit jemand anderem sowohl die Pancakes als auch etwas Salziges teilen… Auch sehr lecker der Himbeersmoothie, meine Freunde hatten French Toast und die American Classic Eier, alle waren sehr zufrieden. Die Location ist auch super und der Preis angemessen, also ich würde es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

Never ever again!
Cold food, no comp.
Ate two bites of lifeless French toast– item was not removed from the bill.
Nothing here is good.
Do not eat here.

I just went to the bookstore and the clerk there spoke good English but was very unfriendly and arrogant, so I just left and didn’t stay for a coffee there. I don’t think she’s qualified for working in such a bookshop, where people should be generous and good mannered. The booksho p itself is very nice.

Primeira livraria de língua Inglês de Praga com um café que atrai tanto os estrangeiros e os tchecos, ali tem uma grande variedade de livros, brunches populares e as muita coisa dos anos 90.
O menu atualizado recentemente inclui um excelente hambúrguer, boas saladas e itens mais ousados​como curry tailandês.Se ficar até a noite pode pegar um filme e noites de quiz, além de poder se deparar com uma boa música ao vivo.
Da para passar um bom tempo por ali com os amigos.

A very popular expats café offering a lot of events in English, such as pub quizzes, movie screenings, comedy shows etc. The menu is various enough not to get bored after a few visits. The meals are tasty and are served quite fast. The level of service in general is good. The price level is average. Usually the place is not crowded and it’s possible to get a table, unless it’s time of some event — then it’s completely packed.

I agree with most other posts on here, the Globe is an excellent spot for English speaking expats in Prague who miss America. And that is about it. Their bookstore is overpriced (A blank notebook is 150 czk, or 7 USD, ridiculous!), their menu is also overpriced and the food is not that great.
When I went here I did enjoy the comfy atmosphere, but many cafes in Prague can also provide this same atmosphere at a much lower cost (and maybe a view as well) I got chicken nachos, a banana smoothie and a small desert and this set me back about 400 crowns. And be prepared to tip well since the waitstaff can kind of speak english they expect what we would tip in America… even though they are slow and don’t act like an American server would (aka not attentive at all).
All in all, If you are in prague for vacation I would not suggest going here, and I personally will not be going back any time soon.

The Globe is perfect if you’re missing the states and are hoping for a little classic American comfort food.
We came here several times during our time in Prague. From burgers to fries to artichoke dip, we tried it all. They also have great hummus, french onion soup, and carrot ginger soup.
The atmosphere is very laid back, cozy, and is the perfect little coffee shop for studying or an intimate evening with friends. I recommend sitting up in the balcony area – for some reason not many people make their way up to the top, but it has the best view of the restaurant!
I have fond memories of The Globe and must make another stop back next time I’m in Prague.

I love this place. Like for real. The food is a tad expensive for Prague, but it is good and you can get a great breakfast here after stocking up on great book finds. Add to that the social events they have several times a week! Seriously, this place is a great find.

The Globe is an American hub in the middle of Prague. From the service to the food, The Globe is one of my favorite places to eat in the Czech Republic.
In the midst of a service industry that has a hint of cold post-​Communism personality, The Globe has friendly, helpful servers who are willing to joke around with you. And, similar to an American café, so long as you are buying food and you do not overstay your welcome, they allow you to use the Internet and work. Plus, when the weather gets nice, don’t forget that there is an outdoor section as well.
The menu is a familiar touch for Americans in a foreign country: from delicious nachos to my favorite Sunday morning New York egg sandwich to some Tex-​Mex options. And, for coffee lovers, they actually have drip coffee there!!!
