Mamacoffee

The only downside to this coffee joint is the very limited space. For coffee2go it’s worth 5 stars, without a doubt!
Best coffee, fair trade, excellent lemonade, super duper service, OK prices, very often excellent music playing in the background.
During spring, summer and fall, get your coffee2go here, a little snack at Antonin’s bakery around the corner and enjoy your treats on one of the many benches on the square!

This is another case of «Jeez I love where I live»! There is nothing like having a great little coffee shop with in stumbling distance of my flat for when I run out of coffee at home and forget to pick some up at the store.
Now I am super picky when it comes to my coffee, and I have yet to have a bad cup here. These hip little barristas know what they are doing when it comes to my coffee addiction. Plus all of the staff is super nice and let me practice my Czech ordering skills on them and even answer in Czech, despite the fact most of them speak pretty decent English. Seriously, it is so nice.
My only complaint is the sparseness of the in door seating. Only three or four tables, which is a bit sad when you feel like sitting and enjoying your coffee rather than taking it to go. But hey, even on the dash it is good coffee.

Barren or bust… that’s what I always say.
Especially after sharing this miniscule space with Satan’s spawn in the form of an obnoxious 2-​year-​old, pig-​tailed, blonde girl with an iPad (exactly as I’ve always pictured the babe of beelzebub) and penchant for kicking the wooden bench we shared with her and her terrible mother… or as I prefer to call her, ‘that motherf*cker with the demon daughter.’ It’s times like these that I thank my lucky stars for lazy ovaries.
So my group of 4 walked into mamacoffee, a cute little (read: shitty suburban apartment walk-​in closet level tiny — trust me, I would know) indie-​looking coffee shop with tons of fair-​trade and sustainable coffee for purchase at about an eighth of the cost that it would be back home in Chicago, and of equal quality.
When I first walked in I was going to get one of their African roast coffees, but as I stood in line (for about 10 minutes with one person ahead of me) and listed to that demon child cackle and kick, I thought, f*ck that. I need something warm with alcohol. Please throw some whiskey, ether, or if her shrieking level increases, cyanide in there to put me out of my misery.
What I ended up getting was basically an Irish coffee with really high-​quality coffee and a little chocolate on the side. Everyone in my group enjoyed their drinks and bites (which included a vegan pasty and oatmeal cookie), but just a word to the wise that coming here with more than just yourself is not recommended. there’s one single barista and she makes each drink separately from start to finish — no two drinks were brewing at the same time so it took pretty close to an hour for the three of us who ordered drinks to get our beverages. The two guys behind us waited and stood for over an hour to order and then receive their drinks… all with that child kicking the entire time.
Inside there’s room for three people to stand semi-​comfortably… but I’m counting the barista herself as one of those three. There’s 4 tables in the whole places that seat 9 people comfortably… if no one is standing waiting to order. But, if there’s a delivery guy coming during your time there, I’d say the place can hold 6 people and one cursing delivery guy who can’t get his stack of ingredients needing to be delivered into the too small space.
Also good to know, there’s no free wifi… which at the time I thought was total bullsh*t, but apparently free wifi in European coffee shops is a rarity, as we found throughout the rest of our trip.
For bites, my friends ordered one savory vegan pasty with root vegetables that was fantastic and a couple cookies that I thought were just alright but later regretted not eating more of when I realized that this was the only place we’d visit that day that served something that was not brown meat topped with white mystery gravy.
It was incredibly warm and cozy inside and if it weren’t for that god-​less, heathen-​child, this would absolutely be the perfect place for a one-​on-​one winter meet up with friends who enjoy caffeine and/​or caffeine with booze. We ended up just taking our cookies to go when it became apparent going on the second hour of being here that the devil baby wasn’t going to let up with the kicking or the shrieking.
All in all, it’s a great space, albeit detrimentally tiny to the point that where you need to evaluate the crowd and decide if it’s worth the wait time and the possible impending headache.
