Best cold brew in Prague
Cold brew in Prague ranges from the classic 12-hour steep to nitro on tap, espresso tonics, and Japanese-style iced filter (the one poured hot, straight onto ice). Roasters maps the specialty cafés in Prague doing the cleanest, most considered cold drinks — no syrupy chain cold brew, just specialty coffee, properly cold. Prague is one of 144 cities with a “Cold brew” guide on Roasters.
Beyond classic cold brew, the cafés worth visiting in Prague also pour Japanese-style iced filter (brewed hot onto ice, preserving brightness) and espresso tonic (a double shot over tonic water — sharp, clean, summer-ready). Roasters surfaces which cafés are serving each.
The best cold brew in Prague 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.

What's the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?
Cold brew is made by steeping coarse-ground coffee in cold water for 12–24 hours, then filtering. Iced coffee is brewed hot and chilled (or poured hot onto ice, Japanese-style). Cold brew is smoother and less acidic; iced coffee is brighter and closer to its hot original.
