Restaurant Café Prag in Schwerin

We had breakfast at Cafe Prag on March 16, 2025. I have to say, I'm having a hard time rating this place. It was a bit chilly in the room, perhaps because of the old windows? We were able to choose our seats. The tables were also tidy and clean. We sat near the bar. Unfortunately, the complaining of the ladies behind the bar was quite noticeable. Every order was one too many. She was obviously overwhelmed. I was constantly shouting everything from "shit" to other unkind words. I'm sorry, but that's not acceptable. It's possible to be stressed, but then I should consider whether this is the right job. The two waitresses were friendly. But overall, it wasn't very cozy, because you got the feeling everyone was stressed. And you get that all the time. We haven't experienced that in Schwerin, Wismar, or Rostock. The breakfast itself was good, though. Unfortunately, we won't be back. There are plenty of other cozy spots in and around Schwerin. What a shame :(..

Nice café in the style of the KuK cafés in Vienna or Prague. Attentive service - coffee and tea at reasonable prices. Many tables reserved - gladly again.

Was breakfast, normal Service a bit overwhelmed

Nice coffee. Great breakfast Recommended

Great atmosphere thanks to the beautiful architecture, high rooms, really great. Very very tasty cakes. Families with children were also welcome and also seem to eat cake 🍰.

Great café, nice cakes and other little things in an upscale atmosphere. Nice service, attentive and friendly!

Café Prague is stylishly and comfortably furnished. Unfortunately, it's also getting a bit old, especially at the row of windows there is a lot of draft and you're freezing. The service initially ignores you when you come in. This is in need of improvement.

Children get coffee ice cream, when they ask for an espresso tonic they are told that it is not on the menu. I was allowed to mix things myself at the table. Unfortunately the drink foamed over. Then the waiter wasn't in a particularly good mood. He said: you made a mess. A reminder that we should please not use your first name and if necessary call another waiter to serve you. Long story short, no de-escalation whatsoever, just accusatory words. The cake was ok. The espresso tonic under the table, tea in the bag, ice cream very bland. I live around the corner and will never come back.

Nice café in the middle of Schwerin city center. It is beautifully decorated and very cozy! The cakes are highly recommended! Since the café is full, cake sales are self-service only. Of course, lunch is served with service.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, very tasty cake

The coffee was good. The cake (chocolate mousse) didn't really convince me of the price-performance ratio. It was very cramped in the café and the atmosphere was old-fashioned. The clientele also tends to be older. You have to get the cake yourself, although coffee is served at the table. We wanted to try it out and would probably not come back.

Came for coffee and cake, the service with the long braid was very unfriendly. We actually wanted to have breakfast here the next day, but decided against it because of the service.

So the café is very nice. The service was quick. The food was a disaster. I had steak a four and the seasoning that went on the steak was simply slapped on top from the can. It was almost inedible and the price was absolutely crazy. For me it's a disgrace.

Enjoyed delicious cakes, ice cream sundaes and a café. Very friendly and quick waiter. Café is cozy.

Very nice atmosphere, which is not expressed by too many guests Homemade tarts and cakes give Café Prague extra points There are a lot of groups of tables in a small area, which makes the café seem overcrowded and uncomfortable, as the noise level is very loud and annoying...

Very tasty cakes☺️top service. Beautiful and cozy rooms.

Unfortunately there was no more space available. Reservation strongly recommended!

Stars speak louder than words 🤷🏻‍♂️

The outside view of the café is appealing, but unfortunately the overall concept is not convincing. The service on site seemed unfriendly, which significantly spoiled the visit. I also find it inappropriate that you have to go to the counter yourself to get a piece of cake, even though the drinks are served at the table. A visit to a café should be a completely relaxed experience - but here there is clearly room for improvement.

A warm place on cold winter days - wrong thinking. We sat by the window and directly by the heater. She was hot. But it didn't warm the immediate surroundings. Reason: The fresh air supply via the ventilation was turned up to full capacity and over the course of an hour it got increasingly colder, so my guest and I had to put on our jackets. Breakfast for €16 per person was an average breakfast. The orange juice tasted very sour, not edible for me. The coffee only had the approximate taste. Conclusion: relatively full, but completely frozen. It's a shame, I won't recommend the restaurant.

It's a special place. Excellent cakes, very good cuisine and a romantic ambience for lovers

A wonderful cafe with nice service. Very attentive and quick. I had a salad that was very tasty. Great dressing and the toasted bread was extremely tasty. Highly recommended

It deserves all the stars and therefore its far overpriced prices 4 x coffee and 4 x cake 50 euros Proud price

After a long time, today I was once again taken to this really inviting café in the heart of Schwerin. But unlike usual, the atmosphere and the employees today weren't as creamy as the cream on my cocoa. There was a smell throughout the entire place that reminded us of that of a toilet. Much more unpleasant, however, was the rude and unmotivated demeanor of the service staff who served us. Both when we went to get cake and when we wanted to pay our bill, we were, in our opinion, not treated politely. In the end, this impression clouded us, despite the satisfactory coffee and cake. Hopefully things will be friendlier on our next visit!

The cream slices tasted bland, the meat was almost hard and tended to be tough, I would only rate that with 1 star. The apple strudel scores with 4 stars. The service was professional and very friendly. Unfortunately the overall result is only 3 stars.

Historically beautiful place where history still counts.

We visited Cafe Prague with a baby today. Unfortunately, we were initially put off with "... no tables available, all are reserved and there is no space here with strollers anyway...". After we waited 5 minutes, the nice woman behind the cake counter took pity on us and gave us a table that had already been free. Unfortunately, the children's chair that we had to look for ourselves was a disaster. It was shaky, the screws were loose and the seat belts were all broken. The ambience itself is great, but the tables and chairs are very narrow. 1 - 2 tables less and it would be significantly more comfortable. The food (cake, Hanseat and crepe) and the coffee were good to very good. We just find it strange that a piece of cake (which was really good) costs the same as a glass of lemonade. Overall it's completely ok, but we were still surprised. With a few exceptions, the staff wasn't very friendly. Maybe it was because of the holiday (January 1st), but it wasn't fun. But we're all human, everyone gets pissed off sometimes, but we shouldn't take it out on those around us. However, the nice lady behind the torten counter and the waiter are still positive. For a cafe that has such a good reputation in Schwerin, I think there is more to it.

Nette 87 jährige Rentnerin durch Cafe Prag um bereits bezahlte Leistung geprellt. Ich habe dort einen Gutschein erworben und bezahlt und ihn der Rentnerin zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Sie ist dann vor 4 Wochen dort frühstücken gewesen. Im Anschluss wurde vom Personal die Annahme des Gutscheins verweigert mit der Begründung man müsse ihn vorher anmelden. Was ist bloss los in diesem Cafe, so geht man nicht mit Kunden um. Günter Tiroux Bürgermeister Gemeinde Pinnow

Service wasn't particularly friendly, not very attentive. Went with a group and it was assumed that one person would pay the entire bill.

Unfortunately it was very crowded, but the atmosphere is very nice.

I thought everything was great, the cakes are delicious and the cafe is very nice.

The food was ok. I had the egg pancakes which were quite tasty. The portion was quite small, so unfortunately overpriced at €8.30. Unfortunately the service was unfriendly for no reason. I would like to point out that one waitress was very nice and friendly, but there was a colleague who who was unkind to us for no reason. My friend and I had ordered a pot of coffee for €5.40 to share and asked if we could get a second cup. The answer was "No. We don't do that here," in a very unfriendly tone. Too bad...I wonder why.

It smelled very musty... There was almost exclusively buttercream cake... the mocha cake was missing the mocha...

You are not welcome as a guest. Very rude. Not recommended.

Very nice atmosphere, good food and pleasant prices. Good location.

Nice traditional ambiance. We found the breakfast combos expensive and uninteresting, basic bread and tasteless cheese.

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service that gives everyone the feeling of being a personal guest. We would like to thank “Tortenfee” again. This ensured that we had limited time for a relaxed coffee session on December 4th. 2024 will be here.

Very nice cafe and restaurant. Large selection of cakes and tarts. The dishes are also extensive. There are also small snacks. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

Altijd een prima plek voor een hapje en een drankje. Vriendelijk personeel, vlotte bediening en qua locatie helemaal goed in het centrum.

Very good offers of cakes. Friendly service. It's a bit cramped and, depending on your space, you can smell the toilet

So I can't really understand the reviews. A bit old, and more bad than special. But the waitresses were very friendly. It's probably better, right?

Wasn't there for ages, too full, but magical, like most of the restaurants in this enchanting city of the univesal...

In a traditional cafe in downtown Schwerin, near the castle, there is an extensive range of cakes and delicious dishes. The service is friendly and accommodating.

Very courteous staff. We had our 20-month-old granddaughter with us and she was really looked after. The food there has always been good, but this time the game goulash with dumplings was absolutely amazing. The chef is a genius.

Rustic, cozy, and simply very good.. We went for breakfast.. We really liked it and we'll definitely come back 👌

An excellent restaurant/cafe. A great selection of coffee and cakes. The seasonal dishes are particularly recommended. The service is quick and discreet. I'll definitely come back.

When we entered it smelled like a toilet... We then went back out.

Great café, super nice staff, in the middle of the old town.

Wer einen guten Kaffee trinken will, sollte woanders hingehen. Ein doppelter Espresso wird dort mit 80 ml Wasser zubereitet. Keine Crema und ein Geschmack wie angefärbtes Wasser. Dies trifft auch auf normalen Kaffee und Cappuccino zu. Kulanz für dieses Gebräu Fehlanzeige, man werde die Beschwerde weiterreichen. Habe noch nie so einen schlechten Espresso bekommen.

Cozy coffee where you can also get lunch. The food is very tasty and the staff is very friendly. I can give one recommendation after visiting Schwerin Castle with a clear conscience.

Delicious café and the cakes were amazing.

Service was great. The cake was okay. The atmosphere is generally very cozy...unfortunately there was a strong smell of drains in the checkout area when we visited.

Loved this place, swift service and the service staff is smiling and friendly, despite the rush. Would definitely recommend the cakes and coffee range ❤️

Loveless. No attempt to inspire the guest.

Nice cafe, delicious sea buckthorn cake

Super unfriendly staff. You get turned on when you add two chairs to a table and have to push the chair out a little to get up (that means there's no room here!) When a 3 year old orders herself something to drink, she is asked what is it? We ordered 2 coffees and a water but only got one coffee out of 2. We drank everything in 5 minutes and were happy to leave the store!

Very nice ambience in the Viennese coffee house style. Cake was very tasty, but too expensive at €5.40 per piece. Service is almost non-existent, cake has to be brought to the table yourself, service is inattentive.

Nice café, nice service, opening hours until 6 p.m.???. Otherwise great, highly recommended.

A very nice café is located right in the direction of the castle and the center. It's easy to reach on foot.

Been there for coffee for a while. There is no trace of Viennese flair anymore. The staff will call you on your first name, no matter how old you are. In the afternoon there was a heavy smell of food in the air. This restaurant has come a long way from being a cozy café. Too bad

Staff very unfriendly from the first contact.

The Café Prag in Schwerin is a nice place to take a leisurely break. What was particularly positive was the friendly and attentive staff, who made the visit very pleasant. The food was good and solid, just the thing for a relaxed meal. The cozy atmosphere also invites you to linger. However, there are a few minor weaknesses: The furniture looks a bit old and could do with a refresh. In addition, the waiting time for the food was a little longer than hoped. Nevertheless, I can recommend Café Prague for a relaxed visit – you feel in good hands here.

Cool, traditional coffee Cool kitchen buffet

Very nice café with excellent service, very good coffee and delicious cakes! Very professional and friendly staff, very clean (also the toilets) and a great atmosphere within historical walls. Absolutely recommended!

A wonderful coffee house. Delicious cakes, very friendly service.

Excellent, cozy, delicious cake and coffee. Men's toilet beautiful new marble clean but…. smells horrible.

Wir haben für 60 Euro gefrühstückt das beste war das Obstgläschen Dosenobst und obendrauf gab es eine kleine Scheibe Kiwi und ein kleiner Rest von einer Orange . Das Frühstück war übersichtlich bei so einem Preis erwartet man frische Zutaten und frische Brötchen . 2 Sorten Käse 1 bischen Wurst bischen Marmelade Frischkäse in Plastikverpackung dazu eine Gurken und Tomatenscheibe .Wir haben mit dem Besitzer über das Frühstück gesprochen das wir für das Geld mehr erwartet hätten er fing gleich an, das wäre gerechtfertigt Lage usw...er fragte uns wollten sie etwa mehr ? Und wir wären die ersten Gäste die sich bei ihm beschweren er hat nur positive Bewertungen!!! 3 Scheiben Lachs 6,90 1 Croissant nicht mal frisch 3 Euro das geht garnicht .Wie hier die positiven Bewertungen zusammen kommen, lässt sich nur erahnen. Die Bedienung war super nett das Frühstück kam sehr schnell .Wir kommen nicht wieder da kennen wir bessere Lokalitäten für diesen Preis . Ich denke mal das auch diese Berwertung bald raus fliegt, aber ich hoffe das es viele Gäste lesen bevor sie hier viel Geld lassen !

Café Prague boasts on its own menu as follows: “The café is known for its excellent cakes and tarts as well as its first-class coffee specialties.” After such a full-bodied announcement, I was surprised that the praised coffee specialties came from a fully automatic machine that has already seen its best days. Instead of cappuccino today, tea... The “excellent cakes” also turned out to be a disappointment. Visually, the cakes definitely make a great impression, look beautiful, are obviously easy to cut, are tall and beautifully symmetrical. However, a large slice of Black Forest cake didn't even have a single cherry between the layers and the "cherry jelly" didn't reach the edge of the cake. I didn't find it particularly tasty either - I personally didn't find it edible. I have the impression that the look of the cakes and not the taste should be convincing.

Nice café with delicious cakes and also something for when you're really hungry.

We were here twice in one day. Great service and delicious cakes.

Unfortunately the food is a tourist trap. I paid €12.50 for a “Cafe Prague” toast and was just disappointed. Boring little white toast with a piece of turkey on top and shriveled beans. Not tasty, not filling and also €12.50. The drinks also only come in 0.2 size. In addition, the store is nice but very crowded and therefore very loud and not comfortable. Unfortunately we left the restaurant very dissatisfied, so no recommendation.

Just beautiful, delicious 😋 food and nice to linger, not forgetting the delicious cake 🎂 you should try it. Too delicious to swallow the cake 🤣 kind regards from Unna (NRW) from us 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

A Viennese-style coffee restaurant, stylish with high ceilings, a large selection of cakes, a dense atmosphere in the afternoon (full, closely seated) but overall really stylish and beautiful!!! My roast game deserves at least 5 stars! My wife had the dish of the day, Königsberger Klopse, a little too few capers, but tasted good. Unfortunately we didn't have a piece of cake for dessert, but it would have been difficult for us to decide.

We can only recommend it. We'd love to come back

Very friendly staff, cakes very tasty, fast service, a place to linger.

Solid café and restaurant, delicious lunch, Königsberger Klopse. Great cakes in the refrigerated counter, good, attentive, friendly and competent staff, fast service. I'd love to come back there.

Great salad with exotic fruits and duck!

Was ok. Way too overpriced. Little breakfast selection.

The lady at the kitchen buffet is really rude and surrounded by a crowd: "every guest is a burden"

Good cake, good coffee. Service also fits in a beautiful and friendly environment in the old town of Schwerin.

Wir hatten uns auf eine kleine Pause vom trubeligen Bürgerfest gefreut. Leider hat uns das Café Prag gehörig die Suppe versalzen: kaum traten wir über die Schwelle, unwissend wie das Café es hält mit dem Platzieren, werden wir auch schon von einem Kellner angemotzt, wir sollten aus dem Weg gehen. Eigentlich wäre es seine Aufgabe gewesen, suchend schauende Paare als zahlende Kunden zu gewinnen. Anschließend rempelt uns eine ältere Frau an und motzt dazu. Das war schließlich unser Zeichen, den Laden zu verlassen. Klare Empfehlung: weitergehen und ein anderes Café suchen, es gibt jede Menge im näheren Umkreis.

Unfortunately completely overcrowded. Instead of Coca Cola (according to the menu), Pepsi is served. You couldn't even get to the cake counter...

Food great as always, service polite, friendly and attentive.

Very comfortable. Prices are okay for the location. Had the Black Forest cup and it was very tasty We would go here again.

The parking lots and houses in the city center cannot be used: That's why we had a longer walk to the time-honored Café Prague in the city center! The nut butter cream cake in black, red, gold and the lemon yoghurt cake tasted very good, as did the café. Before that we had the plate dishes of zander fillet with parsley potatoes and cucumber salad as well as the Königsberger meatballs with boiled potatoes and beetroot, also very tasty.

Very nice staff. Very good and tasty food. Gladly again.

Absolutely unfriendly staff, were insulted several times and said "You definitely wanted to pay now" when we were still in the middle of eating, completely overcrowded, food mediocre, card payment was not possible at first and only after a complaint

We wanted to have a coffee and were extremely disappointed. Coffee had no taste and staff was always unfriendly. Never again.

I had an ice cream chocolate there where the ice cream already had ice crystals from the freezer. When I wanted to pay by card, the waitress just said no, only from €20. When I gave him the money in cash, he basically threw the change on the table. I have rarely experienced such bad service

Actually a nice place to drink coffee and eat cake. We tried food. Argentinian rump steak, absolutely bad.

I can only recommend Café Prague. Very nice atmosphere, good breakfast and lunch is also very good.

The atmosphere of the real Prague. Very tasty food and the service of the staff is beyond praise. 4 stars for the food only because the meat was a bit dry and the sauce over-salted. But still worth a try!

The food tasted very good. Only the prices are extremely expensive in this cafe. Otherwise I would take a look there more often. Staff is quick and polite. Cleanliness seems to have an extremely high priority. The waitress cleared the dishes. Another waitress came immediately and wiped the table clean, even though we didn't make any spills. We found that very unpleasant. It gets loud when there are a lot of guests. The acoustics are not that nice there.

Food very good 👍 Service very good 👍 and ambience also great

Unfortunately disappointing! On a day trip from Rostock to Schwerin, the two of us specifically visited Café Prague because it had previously been highly praised somewhere on regional television. Anyone who assumes that there is something Czech on the menu is completely wrong. Standard German tourist cuisine, with an East Algian touch. Ragout fin, Strammer Max, Schnitzel etc. We chose two dishes from the daily menu. Seasonal chanterelles in cream sauce, pork fillet, rösti and a salad with fried shrimp and baguette. It was just OK, but far from totally delicious. The meat was too cooked (hard/dry), the chanterelles didn't taste “fresh” but like frozen goods, the cream sauce tasted too much like “grained broth” (from Maggi or something) and the rösti were two of those terrible frozen pressed thick triangles from the deep fryer that you can find in the chest of every discount store. We looked at the menu again to see if it really said “fresh” chanterelles (it did) and I spoke to the waitress again and asked if they were really “fresh”. According to her: yes. It tasted like frozen mushrooms, so watery when you took a bite and a bit slippery. The salad was also rich, but without pizzazz and with ready-made standard dressing from the gastro bulk pack. The prawns were warm but without any roasted flavors and the baguette was half a breakfast sandwich. The house lemonade elderberry was delicious. Price just under €50 for two meals and two drinks. The ambience - yes nice. What it actually has to do with Prague is unclear. Ok, but thanks, not again. Service was friendly, but without “anything special”, not an iota above the usual standard.

Ambience and service were very good. The food, we ate schnitzel, didn't convince us and the price-performance ratio was too high for the quality of the food. Through my own experience in the kitchen, I know what I'm talking about.

A dream. Coffeehouse-style café and restaurant. Friendly staff. I had pike perch fillet with parsley potatoes and cucumber salad. For dessert there was red fruit jelly with vanilla ice cream and cream and coffee. Excellent quality of freshly prepared food.

Café Prague is well known in Schwerin. I've known it for decades. A visit to Schwerin is not possible without visiting Café Prague. Unfortunately it has become more of a restaurant. COFFEE and CAKE/tart with the smell of fish in the wonderful location is not to our taste. For what reasons is the GDR time left out in the chronicle, why?

We were only there for a quick drink but then the house toast was served. Everything delicious 😋 and a great ambience inside.

Very nice service. Pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and daily specials.
