Candycane Coffee
Founded in 2017 by Prague coffee veterans Ondřej Štoksa, Zdeněk Hýbl, and Jaroslav Slámečka along with two other colleagues, Candycane roasts coffee that captures both the logo and taste of a candy cane. The team runs the popular OneSip café in Prague's Old Town while producing their podcast between roasting shifts. Zdeněk believes Prague's coffee scene benefits from working with less advanced equipment, which forces roasters to think more carefully about the coffee itself, resulting in better preparation skills and a refreshingly unpretentious approach compared to established specialty coffee capitals.
