Minimalist specialty coffee in a part of New Town that most tourists never see. EMA strips away everything unnecessary—clean lines, natural light, rotating single origins, and baristas who know extraction science but don't lecture you about it. The espresso program is among Prague's tightest, and the location near Florenc station makes it a natural first or last stop for anyone arriving by bus. Unpretentious and consistent, the kind of place that raises a neighborhood's coffee baseline.

Espresso or flat white to judge their current beans. Filter for a slower, more contemplative cup. Pastries are minimal but well-chosen. Keep it simple—that's the point.
Weekday mornings for the commuter rush energy. Mid-afternoon for quiet focus time. Saturdays are relaxed neighborhood pace.
Small space, limited seating. More takeaway than lingering destination. Prices are reasonable for specialty quality. Card accepted. The Florenc area is functional rather than charming, but that's part of the appeal—no tourist markup.
