Bread, Brunch, and Local Charm
Eska in Karlín is a bakery and restaurant that feels like a love letter to traditional Czech baking, reimagined for modern palates. The star of the show is definitely the 33 bread, baked on beechwood with a triple-stage rye sourdough starter—it’s crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and absolutely worth the trip. Beyond the bread, you’ll find a rotating selection of fresh pastries, homemade jams, and a menu that leans into seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The space itself is warm and inviting, with a mix of rustic wood and modern touches that make it feel both cozy and contemporary. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over a long brunch or grab a quick coffee and pastry to go. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to recommend pairings or explain the baking process. If you’re looking for a spot that feels authentically Prague without being touristy, Eska delivers.
