Every cup tells a story of origin, craft, and passion. Our baristas transform premium beans into extraordinary experiences through time-honored techniques and innovative methods.
Our signature latte represents the pinnacle of espresso-based craftsmanship. We begin with a double shot of our carefully sourced Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans, known for their bright acidity and delicate floral notes with hints of bergamot and jasmine. These beans are roasted in small batches to a precise medium profile that preserves their natural sweetness while developing rich chocolate undertones.
The espresso extraction is meticulously timed at 25-30 seconds under optimal pressure, producing a shot with a thick, golden crema. We then steam whole milk to the perfect microfoam consistency—silky, glossy, and free of large bubbles. Our skilled baristas pour each latte with the iconic rosetta pattern, a testament to their dedication to the craft. The result is a harmonious balance: bold espresso character softened by sweet, creamy milk, finished with delicate latte art that makes every cup Instagram-worthy and unforgettable.
For coffee purists seeking clarity and complexity, our V60 pour over method unlocks the true character of single-origin beans. This manual brewing technique, originating from Japan, allows for precise control over every variable: water temperature, pour rate, and extraction time. We use the Hario V60 cone with its distinctive spiral ridges that promote optimal water flow and air escape during brewing.
Each pour over is prepared to order using 20 grams of freshly ground Colombian Huila beans, sourced from high-altitude farms at 1,800 meters. The beans are ground to a medium-fine consistency just moments before brewing to preserve their aromatics. Our baristas execute a controlled bloom phase, followed by a circular pouring pattern that ensures even saturation. The entire process takes 3-4 minutes, yielding a clean, tea-like cup with bright acidity, notes of red apple and caramel, and a lingering sweetness. This is coffee in its purest, most transparent form.
Our cappuccino honors the Italian tradition with unwavering respect for proportion and technique. The classic ratio of 1:1:1—equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam—creates the perfect harmony of bold coffee flavor and creamy texture. We use a proprietary espresso blend combining 70% Brazilian Santos for body and sweetness with 30% Guatemalan Antigua for bright complexity and chocolate notes.
The milk is steamed to a precise 65°C (149°F), creating a velvety microfoam that's smooth to pour yet structured enough to maintain its crown. Unlike modern interpretations, our cappuccino features a thicker, more substantial foam layer that insulates the drink and provides textural contrast with each sip. The result is an intensely flavorful coffee experience—strong, balanced, and satisfying. Served in a traditional 150ml cup, it's meant to be enjoyed slowly, allowing you to appreciate the layers of flavor as the temperature gently cools.
At Cafe Gate, we've brought the ancient art of matcha preparation to the heart of Prague. Our matcha program features only the finest ceremonial-grade powder, sourced directly from Uji, Japan—the birthplace of premium matcha cultivation. This isn't ordinary green tea powder; it's shade-grown tencha leaves, stone-ground to an ultra-fine, vibrant green powder that represents centuries of Japanese tea tradition.
Each serving of our traditional matcha is whisked to order using a handcrafted bamboo chasen (whisk) in the authentic ceremonial style. We sift the powder to ensure no clumps, add precisely heated water at 80°C to preserve the delicate flavor compounds, and whisk in a vigorous W-pattern until a thick, jade-green froth forms on the surface. The result is a concentrated, umami-rich experience with natural sweetness, grassy notes, and a creamy texture—no bitterness, no shortcuts.
For those seeking a creamier interpretation, our Matcha Latte combines the same ceremonial-grade powder with perfectly steamed milk, creating a harmonious balance of earthy matcha character and velvety smoothness. Both preparations deliver matcha's celebrated benefits: sustained energy without jitters, powerful antioxidants, and mental clarity. This is matcha as it was meant to be experienced—pure, authentic, and expertly prepared.
