A little spoon
of Prague.

01 / THE CASE

The Display Case

There is no paper menu — the case is the menu. A few of the regulars, written the way the café writes them: on little cards, by hand.

Seasonal specials appear on Instagram first — this autumn: chilli chocolate and the 'hellish' hot chocolate.

02 / OUR CORNER

A quiet corner
under the Castle

Lžička — 'little spoon' — hides on Tržiště, a small street in Malá Strana, on the walk up to Prague Castle. Travellers keep finding it the same way: the Honest Guide sent them, or a 4.8-star map pin did.

Inside it is all vaulted ceilings and warm wood: an old piano in the corner, chess boards on the tables, sofas you sink into — and a row of giant spoons on the wall above the counter, keeping an eye on the cake case.

Dogs are welcome, and not as an afterthought — there are treats for them, too. Find a corner, order something with whipped cream, and stay longer than you planned.
