Best cold brew in Brno

Cold coffee in Brno goes well beyond iced americanos. This guide covers the specialty versions: slow-steeped cold brew, nitro, flash-chilled filter and espresso tonics, and how to tell a carefully made one from a shortcut. The guide draws on the 109 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Brno.

The best cold brew in Brno starts with the same beans the café pours hot: specialty-grade single origins. The difference is the method — long, slow extraction in cold water (12–24 hours) produces a smooth, low-acid concentrate that can be served straight, over ice, with tonic, or on nitro tap.
