Pekárna Praktika — Restaurant in Prague

A very cozy bakery in Karlín with a selection of sweet pastries and freshly baked bread. This bakery was on my list for a very long time as I love they use local flours and mill the flour themselves. I went for breakfast and got 3 pastries to be able to test as much as possible. First thing I tried is the traditional check koláč with apricots. The dough was very soft not dry at all, it was filled with jam and apricots and topped with some oat crumble. Very nice, enjoyed it a lot. It´s very different to other kolaches I tried in Prague so if you want to try something slightly different I´d give it a go. Second thing I had was their poppy seed makovka which was also nice, not dry at all and the poppy seed filling had a nice hidden flavour of orange or something? I also feel like all of the pastries had some cardamon or anise it as there was something unusual in the dough. Last thing and my favorite thing was concha, I have never heard about this pastry so I had to ask what it is. Essentially it´s a brioche with fleur d´oranger and a nice crockant on top which creates this crackly top. Again the dough is top notch, you can really taste the fleur d´oranger. And the sweet crockant on top provide some much needed texture contrast. Overal I like it, it wasn´t overpriced,...

I have been going to this bakery for a couple of years now and have always noticed the attention to the quality of the bread, pastries, sandwiches, and coffee that is offered. In a city surrounded by cheap flavorless bread Praktika is on the other side of the spectrum with their artisanal offerings. I am no expert by any means in bread making and in fact never had sourdough before coming here. Since trying sourdough at other places I can say that Praktika has my absolute favorite. Tom (the owner and baker) pays careful attention to the quality he delivers and is a super nice guy as well. Definitely...

What a great little bakery and you have the choice to see how they are doing all the work. I had the great chance to get a free sample of the dark bread and it was delicious , intensive and very airy.

I had a little puffy pastry with apricot pudding and some fresh apricots on top and it was like heaven. The dough was fluffy and perfect baked. The contrast between a little sour fruitiness and the sweet part was incredible. After that I ordered a espresso, which was great too and the taste was very fruity and not bitter.

You should definitely...
