A piece of Cheesecake here and a Chocolate Croissant there – little treats make even the darkest days brighter. When the sweet tooth takes over, not all of us can control themselves and refer from surrendering to its cravings. And why would one even try? Life is too short to not treat yourself – a motto that Czech Republic definitely has figured out.

Prague is full of wonderful little (and bigger) places that have made it their goal to sweeten up your day – but where does one find the yummiest treat of them all? We got ourselves into a sugar rush in order to find the best places for your next sweet treat! 

1. Oh Deer Bakery

Oh Deer, what have you done – to our bikini bodies! Established in 2017, the bakery located just off I.P. Pavlova has made many people travel all over Prague to get their Cronut fix. When they first started out, ‘Oh Deer Bakery’ was open as long as they had Cronuts. People got up early, checked Oh Deer’s Facebook page to see if they were not sold out yet, queued, hoped their favourites would still be available and then proceeded to walk home with the desired treasure.

These Cronuts will make everyone go ‘Oh Deer’

As the little bakery became more and more popular, ‘Oh Deer Bakery’ could stock up their daily load of freshly made Cronuts on sale, which means you no longer need to get up at 8am to have some of the sweet fun – even though the fear of missing out on those tasty bastards almost made them taste better (if that’s even possible).
