North café

North café sits directly on Zámecké náměstí, Teplice's castle square, in a stylish, modern room that looks straight out over the square rather than hiding down a side street. It has built a reputation as one of the only places in town pouring true specialty coffee, working with roasters such as Beansmith's Coffee Roastery and Mia Coffee instead of a standard commercial blend. The kitchen turns out homemade cheesecakes, cupcakes and Czech classics alongside seasonal drinks like a gingerbread cappuccino and hot chocolate made with real white chocolate. Staff are repeatedly praised for warmth and attentiveness, and the café draws a steady mix of locals and visitors happy to linger over a laptop or a slow coffee. Outdoor seating on the square and a wheelchair-accessible room make it an easy stop to fold into a ride through the old town. It has also been featured on European Coffee Trip, a curated guide to specialty coffee shops across Europe.
