Vojtěch Syrůček, COO - Director of Cafés

Hello, I'm Vojta, whom you might have seen behind the coffee bar at the café on Jiřího z Poděbrad, where I also spent the last few years as the operations manager of all our cafés. I enjoy taking breaks from the computer by going on trips in the woods and meadows. I like to make coffee with my Aeropress during a hike, take off my shoes, and just look out into the world. I enjoy reading books, but often fall asleep with them.   What does mamacoffee mean to you?   Above all, it's a c...

Miroslav Pitra, Head of Sales

Hello, I'm Míra and I take care of you – all our customers. I've been with mamacoffee since 2016, when I worked behind the coffee bar at Café Jedna while still in school, and two years later, I moved to the position of head of packaging and logistics.

Júlia Oravcová, Wholesale Specialist

Hello, I'm Julka and I take care of our wholesale partners. I've been with mamacoffee since October 2020, when I started as a barista at Vodičkova, and gradually also in Nusle and at Jiřák. After half a year, I moved to the office, where I listen daily to the various wishes and needs of our wholesale customers and, along with the sales team, try to help with anything needed for their operations, or to set up, supply, recommend, teach, or fix their office. Mutual satisfaction is crucial for us. ...

Kryštof Bašus, Head of Communications

Hello, I'm Kryštof, and a few years back you could find me behind the bar at Café Pod Lipami, which I helped open for Dani and my brother Martin. My studies in biology subsequently took me from coffee to the laboratory, but as corporate life did not align with my life priorities, I decided to change direction and am currently enthusiastically handling communication and marketing at mamacoffee. In my free time, I like capturing moments on a Polaroid, stoking the stove at my cottage, going to the ...

Hello, I'm Sára. I studied film production and am currently studying digital marketing. Thanks to that, I'm mainly responsible for online marketing for mamacoffee. I've been with mamacoffee since the beginning of summer 2022 when I started as a barista at the Podolská café. Over time, I began managing social media for Podolská, and subsequently, I was offered to oversee marketing in general, which is a great experience for me. When I'm off, I spend time with friends, go to good concerts, dance ...

Berta Holoubková, barista trainer

Hello, I'm Berta and I love coffee.   What does mamacoffee mean to you?   mamacoffee means, above all, a safe environment with countless possibilities, a space where no idea is crazy.

Miluše Jezdinská, manager of café Jaromírova

Hi, I'm Míla and I'm a manager at the Jaromírova café in Nusle. When I'm not dancing behind the bar, I'm dancing with the Brownies group. They're just as great as the brownies from our mamacoffee bakery! I don't like bitter coffee and sour people. On the contrary, I love black coffee and black humor.   What does mamacoffee mean to you?   Mamacoffee provides me with a strong foundation where I can thrive. It upholds the right values that I personally identify with. It's a company wi...

We establish partnerships w...

Anna Hořejší, manager of café Podolská

Hi, I'm Anička, the operations manager at the café in Podolí. I started at mamacoffee when I was sixteen as a dishwasher, gradually becoming a barista. I've also helped out in the packaging department a few times and tried my hand at being a mama courier, which was a really big experience for me in Prague with deliveries. Besides quality coffee, I also appreciate a good Scottish whisky. I can't imagine a day without music or spending some time with my friends.   What does mamacoffee mean ...

Zuzana Palková, manager of Café Nezisk

Hello, I'm Zuzana and I'm the manager of Café Nezisk. I started working as a barista during my travels. Working in a café, initially intended as a short-term job, eventually grew on me, and returning to the office was out of the question.   What does mamacoffee mean to you?   Upon returning to Prague, at the recommendation of my sister, a coffee enthusiast, I visited several mamacoffee branches. The relaxed atmosphere, good energy, and, last but not least, amazing coffee were a giv...

Anna Filipova, manager of café Londýnská

Hello, I'm Annie, the manager of our café in Londýnská. I started working at Mamacoffee in 2017 washing dishes, and over the years, I progressed from being a barista to later becoming a manager at Londýnská, which is my great passion.

Hello, I'm Bětka and I work as a manager at café Jiřák. You could have met me behind the bar here since 2019. My main goal for the café (besides great coffee, of course) is to help create a team that likes each other both in and outside of the bar, and to extend the safe-space feeling to our customers as well. Outside the café, I also frequently participate at Tiimi Akatemia Prague, where I study and do big business (haha).   What does mamacoffee mean to me?   Mamacoffee for me is ...

Michael Praslička, roaster

Hello, my name is Michal, and I transitioned from my original profession as a dispatcher to the position of a roaster at mamacoffee in 2009, shortly after the company opened its own roastery. Besides roasting, which I truly enjoy, I dedicate my time to my family, my band, and I have a passion for experimental and original music, archaeology, and reading a lot.   What does mamacoffee mean to you?   At the beginning, it was an opportunity for me to learn something new (I'm a curious ...

Michal Večeřa, Head of Logistics

Hello, I'm Michal and I came to work at mamacoffee as blind as a bat. I became a Prague resident in March and joined the warehouse and packing department in July, so I actually hadn't had many opportunities to visit mamacoffee before that. I heard from friends that the company was looking for a new and reliable colleague to manage orders and the warehouse, and since I had previously worked in a warehouse, I didn't hesitate for long. What I love about my job at mamacoffee is that it's never the ...

Jose (Chepe) Velasquez, project Nicaragua

Hello, my name is José, but my friends call me Chepe. What I enjoy most about my work for mamacoffee is that through everything we do, I can contribute to the development of coffee culture in Nicaragua. I can help people who wouldn't have many opportunities and chances to make it in the world of specialty coffee on their own. Thanks to the collaboration with mamacoffee, I can help small coffee farmers find a sustainable and competitive path in their business.   What does mamacoffee mean t...
