Looking for a crusty baguette, a dense rye, or a fluffy sourdough? Prague’s bakery scene has you covered. From Vršovice to Karlín, Jiřák to Bubeneč, good bread is always within reach.

Not long ago, the shelves were mostly filled with supermarket loaves and mass-produced rolls.

But over the past decade, the city has undergone a quiet bread revolution. Artisanal bakeries have flourished, each offering their own take on traditional recipes, sourdoughs, and specialty loaves.

For those whose dough didn’t quite rise to the occasion, here are a few standout bakeries where quality is guaranteed:

Arte Bianca

Arte Bianca brings a genuine taste of Italy to Prague through a wide range of traditional Italian baked goods. The bakery combines skilled craftsmanship with a deep respect for Italian culinary heritage.

Led by master baker Giacomo, the team prepares fresh products daily using original Italian recipes. On any given day, visitors will find crisp ciabattas, fragrant focaccias, buttery croissants, and house-made pastries—all baked on-site with a focus on quality and authenticity.

Joy Bakery

Their bread selection includes sourdoughs like the caraway-flavoured Joy Bread, nutty Farro Bread made from spelt, and a hearty Rustic loaf with wholewheat Purpur flour. They also bake Danish-style Rugbrød with rye and seeds, plain Retro sourdough, and baguettes like the sundried tomato and chili-infused Tomato Punch or the onion-packed Tizzy. All breads are made with just four ingredients, no additives, and stay fresh for up to five days.

Eska

One of Prague’s best-known bread destinations, Eska serves up Bread 33 and Bread 66, named after their rye content. Their potato bread is soft and tender, a fan favorite among locals. The bakery transforms seemingly ordinary ingredients beyond recognition and rediscovers old techniques – fermentation, drying, wood heating and fire roasting. You can also find sweet croissants, home-made bundt cake and open-faced sandwiches.

Praktika

This bakery champions long fermentation, organic stone-ground flour, and filtered water. The result? A bold, tangy loaf with a moist crumb, especially notable in their red wheat or sesame-crusted spelt varieties. The breads here are heavily hydrated and will stay good and fresh-tastings for days and days.

Il Pane

Tuscan bread in Prague? Il Pane lets loaves rise for up to 40 hours to develop deep flavor and better digestibility. Their sourdoughs are excellent, but don’t miss their flatbreads topped with anchovies or seasonal veggies.

Antonínovo pekařství

For more affordable options, Antonín’s Bakery delivers. Try the soft potato bread (available twice a week), a walnut loaf, or their everyday wheat-rye blend. You’ll also find a wide selection of bread, rolls, buns, sandwiches, soups, and of course, pastries and desserts. They have an old-school ice cream machine, serving the classic soft-serve ice cream you might remember from your childhood—simple, nostalgic, and delicious.

Kro Bakery

Using stone-milled whole grain flour, the bakery produces top-tier sourdough loaves, including a seeded variety and an excellent rye bread—still a rarity in Prague—which stays fresh for days. Their potato buns and baguettes are also favorites, and the sweet pastry selection is impressively wide. Breads are baked at Kro Vršovice on Moskevská Street and sold at several spots across the city.

Artic Bakehouse

Founded by an Icelander and now with several branches in town, Artic Bakehouse is best known for its Old Charles loaf—a blend of wholemeal rye and white flour with caraway and anise. What really sets Artic apart is its huge variety: from crusty baguettes to sweet treats like almond croissants, rolls, and their cheekily named love balls, everything is baked with care.

U Kalendů

Their approach is clever and focused: just two doughs form the base for a wide array of pastries, including flaky croissants and rich Danishes, all done with quiet precision. But the real stars are the sourdough loaves, pillowy focaccia, and what may well be the finest toast bread in Prague—a soft, buttery loaf with just the right hint of sweetness.

A new bakery, Bread Society, has opened in Košíře, offering a thoughtful mix of French classics, Scandinavian treats, and Czech sweet breads, all built around a strong foundation of sourdough loaves and traditional baguettes. The pastry selection includes croissants, pain au chocolat, choux, and macarons, alongside fruit Danishes, cardamom motancec, semla, and Czech sourdough buns and cakes.
