Cafes across Prague will try to entice your sweet tooth with a local specialty called Rakvička (above). Let them. Rakvička is a light crispy biscuit, covered with fresh whipped cream and drizzled with a light, sweet sauce. Delicious as it may sound (and is), the most unique feature of this dessert is its shape. Rakvička is styled to look like small coffins. Usually served in pairs, they're even hollow on the inside.
There may be no better tricky treat in all of Prague, but here are two others that demand a taste when in Europe's favorite fairy tale city.
Municipal House Cafeteria
A trip to Prague would be incomplete without a visit to the Municipal House Cafeteria, one of the city's finest examples of Art Noveou architecture and the perfect place for an afternoon espresso, complete with cake, ice cream and the best eggnog you may ever taste. The Municipal House is as renowned for its impeccable formal service and architectural style as it is for its food.Náměstí Republiky 5

Trdelnik
Traditional street foods are a great way to get to know new cultures and there is perhaps no place where this rings truer than in the Czech Republic. When your sweet tooth strikes on the streets of Prague, stop and pick up a trdelnik. The fresh, flaky, cylindrical dough pastries are usually dusted with cinnamon and sugar and always delicious.
