Café Elefant - Sweet Temptations in Karlovy Vary

10. 03.2025

The historical Café Elefant, which has been welcoming its guests since 1715, is not only a place where history meets modern comfort but also an oasis of sweet delicacies and quality coffee. The café, located on the Teplá River embankment of the Karlovy Vary promenade, close to the colonnade and opposite Karlovy Vary Theatre, provides an unforgettable experience in the heart of the spa town.

Traditional craftsmanship and award-winning confectionery products

 The delicacies made directly in the Café Elefant pastry shop have been awarded many times and are known for their exceptional quality. The confectioners involved in their production have been trained by the best French masters of confectionery and today they themselves are approached to pass on their experience to future generations. The café is also dedicated to the custom production of desserts with the company logo and the preparation of sweet catering for the unique atmosphere of various social events.

Outdoor seating and winter comfort

In the summer months, you can enjoy coffee and sweets on a large terrace, which is open even in winter. Thanks to the heaters and furs, it is possible to sit outside even on colder days. There is also a cosy balcony overlooking the magical surroundings of Karlovy Vary for those who prefer a more peaceful atmosphere.

Broad selection suitable for everyone

Café Elefant offers not only delicious coffee and a wide range of homemade cakes and desserts, but also fine wines, Prosecco, various mixed drinks and popular winter specialities such as cherry punch and mulled wine. The breakfast served by Café Elefant makes a perfect start to the day, whether you fancy a sweet or savoury option.

Every item an original

At Café Elefant one finds a variety of world-class confectionery. For example, the macaroon with raspberry made of almonds, buttercream with rose oil and fresh raspberries is simply scrumptious. It may be compared to its Czech cousin, laskonka, in which the crunchy almond body is complemented by delicious caramel cream. And let's not forget the French crêpes – sweet pancakes, with whipped cream and mascarpone – or the famous chocolate Elefant wafer cake with liqueur, reminiscent of the traditional Karlovy Vary spa wafers.

 History in every sip

Café Elefant is not only a venue for eating and drinking, but also a place where you can sense the history of Karlovy Vary (also known as Carlsbad in English or Karlsbad in German). With more than 200 years of tradition, it has become an icon of the city's café culture and an essential element of the spa town's atmosphere.

Come and enjoy memorable moments in Café Elefant - the oldest café in Karlovy Vary, where history and tradition live on in every cup of coffee.
