8 Best Bakeries for Doughnuts, Cronuts, Kobliha & Vdolky in Prague (2026)

When I was growing up one of my favourite sweet treats was ‘kobliha’ a fairly plain version of modern American style donut. Light and fluffy filled with apricot jam, it also often doubled up as a breakfast on my way to morning university lectures.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that there are more and more donut (or doughnut, if you like…) shops in Prague and the last few months I’ve spend my time visiting the best bakeries and tasting lots of delicious donuts!

As a baker, I’m always intrigued by a new food fusions, so it was great to discover that we have a fabulous Japanese mochi donuts here. And I’m completely overwhelmed by the sheer choice of the amazing American style donuts. I have to say, I prefer less sweet versions of the donuts, so some of the really sweet loaded ones I happily shared with my mum!

And if you ask me about my ideal Saturday morning in Prague, it’s heading down to the Náplavka farmer’s market along the river to grab a fresh, warm vdolek topped with dark plum butter and a dollop of cream straight from the stand.

So, whether you’re looking for a local sweet treat or an over-the-top gourmet creation, here are my top picks for the best doughnuts, koblihy, and vdolky in Prague this year.

1. Kobliha Vršovice

This is a fantastic new addition to the Vršovice foodie scene that actually migrated from Brno, where they’ve been a cult favourite for years.

They finally opened their permanent Prague branch in late 2025, and it has been a hit ever since! As someone who appreciates the traditional way of baking, I love that they stick to traditional methods, frying about 200 fresh doughnuts every day.

I recently treated myself to their heart-shaped doughnut filled with cream and sweet strawberry jam, it was absolutely delicious and perfectly fluffy without being overly greasy. They often experiment with seasonal flavours, but they do sell out quickly, so it’s definitely worth swinging by earlier in the day!

• Location: Rostovská 218/10, 101 00 Prague 10 – Vršovice
• Opening Times: Monday – Friday: 8 am – 6 pm, Saturday – Sunday: 12 pm – 6 pm

2. Donuterie

If you are looking for that classic American style donut but made with actual artisan care, this is your place.

Hidden in the narrow streets of Old Town, this is much better alternative to the big chains. The shop is really cute, decorated in vintage style and the chances are you get looked after by the owner and baker herself!

They hand-decorate everything and the dough has a lovely, brioche-like chew to it. Their “Forest Fruit” donut is my personal favourite, it’s not overly sweet and you can actually taste the tartness of the berries (and the coffee was great too!).

• Location: Náprstkova 215, Prague 1 (Old Town)
• Opening Times: Monday – Sunday: 10 am – 7 pm

3. Oh Deer Bakery

This bakery is famous for creating the first Czech cronuts, which is a cross-over between croissant and doughnut. And it tastes just like it sounds – delicious, but super sweet! The cronut is topped with all sorts of sweet sauces, fruit, chocolate or nuts.

The Czech cronuts are apparently less sweet than their American versions and also slightly more affordable than in the USA. They will still set you back a good 99-120 CZK, but some that have extra fillings, like the pistachio one are 149 CZK.

I have to say, that I still find them very, very sweet and usually share them with somebody because they are just so big! If you want to try something a little less sweet, I recommend their Crolach (99 CZK), which is their version of the Czech traditional kolac make with cronut pastry and different sweet or fruit fillings.

• Location: Purkynova 2, Prague 1 (next to Narodni Trida Underground and tram stop)
• Opening Times: Monday – Sunday: 9 am – 7 pm

4. Chibi Mochi

If you are looking for something completely different, you have to try Chibi Mochi. They are the first to bring mochi donuts to Prague and they are such a fun alternative to the traditional dough.

Instead of just wheat flour, they use tapioca starch which gives them a really special chewy texture that I personally find super yummy! They are shaped like a beautiful flower ring made of little connected dough balls, which makes them very easy to pull apart and share.

I love that they change their flavours every week and I’ve tried everything from their Biscoff Lotus with sour cherries to a comforting apple pie and even black sesame. They are definitely less sweet than traditional doughnuts, which I think it’s great!

It’s the perfect place to grab a treat and a Matcha Latte before sitting down in the newly re-opened Jiriho z Podebrad square. The doughnuts cost around 85 – 95 CZK per piece and they are definitely worth it for that unique texture alone!

• Location: Vinohradská 797/82, 130 00 Prague 3-Vinohrady (right by the Jiřího z Poděbrad Square)
• Opening Times: Tuesday – Friday: 11 am – 6 pm, Saturday – Sunday: 11 am – 5.30 pm, Monday: Closed

5. La Donuteria (Spálená)

If you’re looking for a place that’s as “Instagrammable” as it is indulgent, you have to pop into La Donuteria on Spálená street.

It’s a cute little place, famous for its gorgeous flower wall backdrop, which is perfect if you want to grab a quick selfie with your treat!

They make their dough fresh every morning and the variety is very impressive! They have all the hits like Cinnamon, Lotus Caramel (a personal favourite for that crunch!), Forest Fruit and a really rich Peanut Butter Cream.

Prices start from 85 to 120 CZK, and they even have a great selection of vegan donuts that don’t compromise on fluffiness.

• Location: Spálená 93/23, 110 00 New Town, Prague 1 (right by the Národní třída tram stop)
• Opening Times: Monday – Sunday: 10 am – 8 pm

6. Donuland (OD Stromovka)

If you find yourself exploring Letna, Holešovice or heading for a stroll through Stromovka Park, Donuland is a super convenient stop to get your sugar fix. It’s only permanent shop is inside the OC Stromovka shopping centre and they have a large colourful display changing every day.

What I love here is the sheer variety, whether you’re in the mood for classic chocolate glazes, fruity fillings or over-the-top toppings loaded with crushed biscuits and sweets, there’s always a great selection ready to go.

The dough itself is a that classic American-style donut style. Because they stay open right up until 9 pm, it’s also one of the best reliable options in the area if you get a sudden late-afternoon or evening doughnut craving when smaller bakeries have already closed up shop for the day!

Donuland’s donuts start from 120 CZK and I’ve recently found out that you can also order them online and have them delivered anywhere in Prague!

• Location: Veletržní 24, 170 00 Prague 7-Holešovice (located inside the OC Stromovka shopping center, lower ground floor)
• Opening Times: Monday – Sunday: 9 am – 9 pm

7. Traditional Czech Koblihy

While I love all the new artisan, over-the-top doughnut shops popping up around Prague, we have to talk about the original classic that every local, including me grew up eating: the traditional Czech kobliha!

Unlike American-style ring donuts with glazes and toppings, a classic kobliha is a soft, deep-fried ball of sweet yeast dough filled with fruit jam (usually apricot or strawberry) and dusted generously with powdered sugar.

A good one needs to be lightly golden with that characteristic pale white ring running around its middle, it is the sign of a perfectly proofed dough that floated high in the oil while frying!

The best part? You don’t need to hunt down an expensive craft bakery to try one. You can pop into any regular bakery like Kabát, Antoninovo Pekarstvi or Merhautovo Pekařství and pick up freshly made kobliha for 15- 30 CZK.

Even standard Czech supermarkets produce reasonably good ones made fresh in-store every morning for about 10 – 15 CZK.

• Location: Everywhere in Prague! Available at local bakery chains like Pekařství Kabát, Merhautovo Pekařství and most major supermarkets (Albert, Billa, Penny, Kaufland).

• Price: Usually between 15 – 30 CZK per piece.

8. Traditional Czech Vdolky

If you really want to experience Czech fried dough like a local, I’d definitely recommend you also try vdolek or vdolky (plular). I absolutely love these! While a kobliha has its filling inside, a vdolek is a round, deep-fried rich yeast dough with a little dimple pressed into the middle, where the topping goes.

Traditionally, they are spread with a thick layer of povidla (spiced Czech plum butter), topped with a dollop of whipped cream or grated hard tvaroh (traditional Czech curd cheese), and finished with a dusting of sugar.

While you can sometimes see them in traditional bakeries, my absolute favourite ones are from the Saturday morning farmer’s market at Smichovska Náplavka. Getting them fresh and warm straight from the market stall while walking along the Vltava river is a pure bliss. If you see a stand frying them on-site, join the queue immediately, it’s an authentic taste of Czech baking tradition you shouldn’t miss!

• Where to find them: Best at weekly farmer’s markets like Náplavka (Saturdays along the Vltava riverbank), Jiřák (Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad), or Pekárna Kabát.
• Price: Around 50 – 80 CZK per piece at market stalls.
