The Miners Coffee

Coffee here is roasted in Prague and drunk in Prague, and the same company bakes the pastry that comes with it. The Miners opened in 2019 as a single café and grew into a specialty chain with its own roastery and bakery behind it, now reaching beyond the Czech Republic into Spain and Poland while the roasting stays at home. In 2025 it was placed 40th in The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops.

A roaster that supplies its own bar

The programme is coffee first. The roastery supplies every branch, and single-origin coffees are sold by the bag online and to wholesale customers as well as poured at the counter, so what you drink comes from the company's own production chain rather than from a rotating guest list.

Espresso-based drinks are the everyday order and the roast is the thing being judged. That focus is the point of the format: a group built outward from one roasting operation, keeping the same coffee across cities.

Pastry from the company bakery

Pastry is not bought in. The Miners runs its own bakery as the main production space for the Prague cafés, baking fresh every day for the whole network, which is unusual at this size and is the second reason to take the food case seriously.

The rooms are designed for staying and working: minimalist, hard-surfaced, laid out on the assumption that laptops, meetings and conversations will fill them. The brand calls its cafés urban cultural hubs, which in practice means people working on projects near other people doing the same.

What to expect

Come for the coffee and treat everything else as support. Espresso and milk drinks made from the house roast are the core order, with fresh pastry from the company bakery alongside.

What sets it apart in Prague is scale rather than one signature drink: a roastery, a bakery and a group of cafés all running on the same supply. If you want to take the coffee with you, the retail bags carry the same roasting as the cup.
