Tea rooms are one of Czech’s best kept secrets; an interesting fusion of ‘oriental’ cultures, including the Middle East, China, Japan, and India. Czech-style tea rooms have evolved into an institution of their own, filled with high school teenagers looking for a cool hangout, and college students smoking hookah together late into the night. Dejvicka Cajovna has an authentic feel―it’s air hazy with smoke, dim with shady lamp lighting, energetic murmur of conversation―keep the atmosphere electrifying without being overwhelmingly loud.The elevated floor seating and no-shoes policy makes for a comfortable lounging environment and semi-enclosed rooms are available for privacy. The vast menu offers up a dizzying selection of teas from all corners of the earth. In an afternoon, one can sample pu’er from China, sen-cha from Japan, mint tea from Morocco, and even a fairly decent milk chai from India. There’s also an array of simple dishes on offer and free Wi-Fi. Once you get a table for as long as you wish making it perfect for a lazy afternoon.
