Discover Globe Bookstore & Café – A Hidden Gem in Prague

Enjoy your coffee under nine‑metre vaulted ceilings in a 130‑year‑old building.

Established in 1993, Globe Bookstore & Café is Prague’s very first English-language bookstore. Located in a charming 19th-century building, it offers a warm and creative space for locals, expats, and travelers alike.

Its curated selection of over 10,000 titles covers fiction, non-fiction, poetry, biographies, children’s books, and more. The Globe isn’t just a bookstore – it’s a place of community, culture, and discovery.

Delicious American brunch, comfort food, and cocktails – served daily.

The café is cozy yet vibrant – ideal for reading, chatting with friends, or working remotely. The menu features high-quality comfort food, from gourmet burgers to vegetarian dishes, homemade desserts, and one of Prague’s best American-style brunches served until 3 PM on weekends.

Open mics, readings, live music and more – the Globe brings people together.

Globe also hosts a rich cultural program including open mic nights, author readings, film screenings, trivia quizzes, book clubs, and community meetups. It’s the beating heart of English-speaking culture in Prague.
