On Křižíkova in Karlín, Můj šálek kávy sits in a room of exposed brick, a faded yellow-and-blue mural, floor-to-ceiling blackboards, and oversized lights. It reads as a working neighbourhood coffee bar rather than a polished destination, which is exactly why it still matters in Prague.
This is Doubleshot's original Prague cafe, and the place that still makes the brand easiest to understand. The coffee is roastery-backed, the food runs from breakfast into weekend brunch, and the room has enough life to feel like part of the district rather than a branded annex.
Coffee
Espresso drinks are the anchor, but the house style is clearer when the cup runs through filter. The menu lists the expected milk drinks alongside V60s, batch brew, and a tasting set of three filtered coffees, which is a neat way to show how much range the bar can handle without losing its shape.
That range suits a café run by Doubleshot, a Prague roastery that treats the cup as the main event. This is where the roasting identity becomes a practical neighbourhood stop instead of a slogan.
Filter
Filter is where the room earns its reputation. The menu moves through origins such as Panama, El Salvador, and Ethiopia on V60, and the tasting set lets you compare three small cups without having to turn the visit into a seminar. It is the clearest reason to cross town if you want more than a flat white.
That filter lane also keeps the room from feeling overly broad. A lot of Prague cafes can do breakfast and espresso; fewer can make filter feel central, then back that up with enough consistency to keep regulars returning. Můj šálek kávy still does that very well.
Pastry
Food is a real part of the visit, not an afterthought. Official and editorial coverage point to breakfast, weekend brunch, eggs, pulled pork focaccia, quiche, pancakes, and house pastries, plus cheesecakes that give the counter some proper weight. That is enough to make the place a morning stop in its own right.
The menu still stays more cafe than restaurant. You come here for coffee first, but the kitchen gives the visit a second gear, especially if you want to sit down properly rather than just grab a cup and leave.
Service & Room
The room is bright, cosy, and usually busy, with tables close enough that privacy can be limited. That is the tradeoff, and it is easy enough to accept because the atmosphere is lively rather than noisy-for-no-reason. The outdoor seating helps when Karlín is behaving, and the staff keep the room moving without making it feel rushed.
The room still feels modern without turning sterile. It works best as a neighbourhood anchor: good enough for breakfast, focused enough for coffee people, and alive enough to feel like a place rather than a concept board.
Why It Matters
Můj šálek kávy still earns its place because it gives Prague a coffee room with both memory and substance. It helped make Karlín a coffee district, and it still does the everyday work: clean cups, serious filter, breakfast that people actually come for, and a retail club layer that keeps the brand's coffee logic intact. If you only make time for one Doubleshot stop in Prague, this is the one.
