Mazelab occupies a former tyre workshop on Československé armády in Dejvice. White walls, concrete seating and a sparse layout leave the brewing counter and coffee selection in view.
Mazelab’s Prague network includes several venues with their own names, such as Pleiku and Cafefin. Cafefin is useful near Jiřího z Poděbrad. Choose the Dejvice room for the roastery’s focused tasting setup, with the brewing counter in full view.
Mazelab serves house-roasted coffee and filter tastings, with information about the beans.
Coffee style
Ask which coffees are open and whether a tasting flight is available. Comparing small servings makes it easier to notice differences between origins and processing methods.
What people go for
Filter, espresso and retail beans are the reasons to come. Cakes offer something small to eat; choose from the counter rather than expecting a full brunch menu.
The feel
The wider café family includes Pleiku, May Cafe, Cafefin, Ăn quán and Format. These offer different food and seating arrangements; the Dejvice roastery is the place to start for a coffee tasting.
The sparse seating and limited food menu may not suit a long group meal. Allow a larger coffee budget if you plan to taste several lots.
