Black & White Cafe

T2’s quieter coffee: Black & White Cafe near Schengen gates

In Terminal T2, Black & White Cafe sits a bit off the main flow near several Schengen gates, so it stays calmer than Costa or the bigger chains. Flyers call it a sit-down spot first, coffee shop second. You’re paying standard PRG airport prices here, not city prices, but you usually get a seat and a clear view of the departures board.

Expect espresso-based drinks, tea, and basic pastries at roughly 80–120 CZK for coffee and more for snacks, right in the mid-range $$ bracket. One TripAdvisor reviewer mentioned “decent espresso and much calmer than Costa,” which tracks with most comments: the drinks are fine, not destination-worthy, and food is limited compared with the larger cafés in T1 and T2.

Regulars use Black & White Cafe as a holding pen for late-evening departures from T2, when some other outlets start closing around 21:00–22:00. A Yelp user summed it up as a “nice little place to sit with a coffee while watching the departures board,” and that’s the real value here: a table, a plug if you’re lucky, and enough quiet to scroll or answer emails.

Watch out for the usual PRG issue: prices run high versus Prague city cafés, where the same espresso might be 45–60 CZK instead of closer to 100 CZK. Complaints also mention a thin food line-up — think a few cakes or pre-made sandwiches, nothing like the larger food courts by other T2 gates or in T1.

What regulars do: they grab their coffee here, then eat food they brought in or bought cheaper at Billa in the public area landside before security. If you want that calmer seat before a Schengen flight from T2, budget the extra 10–15 minutes to find Black & White Cafe rather than defaulting to the first big chain you see after passport control.
