About us
We are delighted to introduce our second original project – Camelot Lulu, the younger sister of Camelot Cafe. This place is the essence of ideas and talents of the people we have always worked with.
It is also a continuation of the 19th-century merchant tradition, started by Karolina and Feliks Łodzinski, who opened their first stall in Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) in 1893, selling chic shoes.

History
Zaułek Niewiernego Tomasza, the name of which was given by the owner of the tenement building at Św. Tomasza 17, art collector Jacek Łodziński, was called Zakątek in former centuries. It was Krakow’s Place Pigalle, full of debauchery and mystery. Thanks to the neighboring Sisters of the Presentation, a city lantern with gas lighting was erected here. Unfortunately, the “wind” kept extinguishing the lantern, and Zakątek continued to live its exuberant social life.
Art
We hope that the artistic fervor which has always been ingrained in Camelot is maintained here as well, with artworks by Krakow artists Jerzy Panek, Piotr Jaros, Natalia Załuska and Berlin based Marlena Kudlicka, hanging on the walls. There is also an Italian accent, with paintings by Riccardo Baruzzi and also by Giorgio Griffa from Turin, the capital of Arte Povera. To emphasize the special relationship between Krakow and Kyoto, one of the walls is decorated with an abstract painting by Tadashi Sugimata. We love to host you and offer our fresh baked delicacies and delicious beverages.

Camelot Cafe
On August 16, 1998, David Streitfeld wrote the following in the Washington Post: “That honour goes to Cafe Camelot,
which might just be my favourite cafe in the world. It’s spread over three rooms, one of which has a table perched in the window, if you feel like eating on a stage.”
