I have been passing this cafe which opened last year every day on my way to Stromovka park, so I decided to give it a shot today. The space is really big, nice, open, bright, though rather empty - just chairs and tables and some...swing chairs (wow!) in the adjacent room (I have learnt there is also a club in the basement which I did not visit). The location is perfect (close to the Academy of Arts and Stromovka, the biggest park in Prague), so it seems ideal for grabbing a quick coffee (which they take from the Doubleshot, a trendy Czech coffee roasting company) and just sip it in the park.
Though my expectations were high, the cafe did not really meet them. It took the waiter ages to prepare one cafe latte and unfortunately he burned it while making it so I had to add a good deal of sugar to make it work, though I normally drink latte without sugar. When asked about artificial sweetener, the waiter gave me a lecture in a rather arrogant manner on how they did not have it because "it is not really good for your health". I replied that I am a type 1 diabetic so it is not a matter of choice for me and I continued by asking him whether the company might re-think their policy since it would be really great to have some more options in what I put into my coffee. He replied that they might, since the sweetener dos not cost that much (no kidding, he really said so :) Then he continued by saying that my doctor should have told me that... Well, by this point, I stopped listening to him since he clearly did not know anything about a) my condition, b) making coffee, c) treatment of the customer.
It is really pity, I liked the idea of buying coffee there on my daily stroll to the park. I also like the minimalist concept of the caffe but clearly there is a lot of space for improvement. So I cannot really recommend it and would rather walk farer to other coffee houses like Mamacoffee, Alchymista or Kiddo nearby which also have coffee to go and better attitude.More
