Cafe 87

Cafe 87

Cafe 87 is a spacious, bright, modern cafe in the same building as the Art Museum. The furniture is new and comfortable--mostly wicker chairs and wooden tables, but if you're lucky, you may be quick enough for a spot on one of the sofas.

The staff are mostly young, multilingual university students, and the prompt service is some of the best that you will find in the Czech Republic or many other countries, for that matter. The music, provided by CDs, is better-quality and less repetitive than the local radio favoured by many cafes.

The menu is healthy--lots of vegetarian and low-fat options, including quiches, pasta salads,and sandwiches made up to your wishes. Sweet-tooths need not fear, however; there is also a wide range of cakes and desserts, including an amazing chocolate pie. I would not recommend it for anyone who does not particularly like chocolate; it's kind of rich, so be sure to order a drink to accompany or share with a friend. There is also a white version, but the purists will recognize that white chocolate is not really chocolate at all.

The 'Segafredo' coffee is prepared well, as are the many fruit smoothies, milkshakes and other drinks.

Downstairs at the café is non-smoking, and upstairs is occasionally used as a venue for small concerts. The large plate-glass windows downstairs and their view of Our Lady Mary of the Snows cathedral make it easy to settle back and watch Moravian life go by as you enjoy your coffee or even, perhaps, catch up on your journal.

Cafe 87

Cafe 87, right next to the art museum, is a lovely place to hang out after a browse round the museum. I was advised by loads of people to visit here to sample the chocolate pie, as it was supposed to be delicious. I think the waitress is quite used to people who stay at Poet’s Corner asking for the chocolate pie, which you can have in dark or white chocolate. I ordered a slice of chocolate pie and a Viennese coffee with whipped cream on top. The cafe offers a range of teas, coffees, shakes, cakes, toasted sandwiches and so forth. I have to say that the chocolate pie was divine!!! I am not a massive fan of chocolate desserts, but this is not sickly, but quite rich in a very satisfying way. I wouldn’t advise having anything else before it though or you may find yourself struggling. The coffee I had was also delicious.

The cafe is light and airy, with wicker high chairs or low chairs. The prices were reasonable and won't stretch your budget. This place is highly recommended, so make a beeline here!
