Cafe Camelot

There's something about this corner of the Old Town which has instant appeal, possibly because it is on one of the few crooked streets in an old town which is relentlessly geometric. Whatever the reason, Cafe Camelot (with its drinking, cabareting, jazz-celebrating alter ego Loch Camelot in the cellar) has drawn plenty of admirers. Its all coffee, sandwiches, cakes and plenty of current foreign language newspapers in a cosy old-fashioned cafe. Sit at the window-table and feel terribly fin-de-siecle.

supposed to be THE most beautiful cafe in the world. check for yourselves. I liked the slice of pineapple with my tea the last time we went. have been there 30+ times and haven't tired of this place yet.

Very cool decor. The red room is a cosy retreat on a winter's day. Nice furniture. Food good too.

Really cute cafe. Go there!

Nothing quite like this back home. A real winner. Seems to be a very popular part of town with about three good places lined up in one kink in the street. This was our favourite...

Beautiful cafe. Very romantic, interesting gallery upstairs too. Whiled away a couple of hours sitting out here... Recommended.

I was there twice. Always with the same feeling of being in a different place than usual. Where breathes freshness and freedom.

We had our 1st time today morning at Camelot and we can tell it was not the last. The best cafe we've ever been.

It's my favourite place in Cracow, we alway start the day there with a breakfast. I cannot imagine my annual Cracow trip without Camelot!

We felt in love with the place. Coffees and hot chocolates are yumi, the apple pie was incredible. Place is very nice : inside AND outside. Check this !

We stopped of here for a quick hot chocolate and cheesecake. The hot chocolate was yummy but I was quite disappointed by the cheesecake. My boyfriend finished both his and mine though. There seemed to be quite a few people having lunch there and all the dishes looked appetising.

we've just returned from a weekend break in krakow and while there found this cafe by accident. It was fab, we went there each afternoon for a hot cherry wine, a beer and some pirrogi. My 7 year old son loved the hotchocolate and apple cake. We had a table for as long as we liked and spent a lovely time whileing away an hour or two with a box of dominos enjoying a spot of people watching. Would recommend this cafe anytime, such a lovely change from the rushed coffee shops here.

This Cafe quickly became our favourite when in Krakow. The food is excellent, there's a great selection of drinks some of which are quite different but worth trying. The staff are wonderful also. If you're in Krakow, don't miss it.

This is a 'must go' place when in Krakow. I have visited this fascinating cafe many times and have had excellent food and service every time. The Pierogi is the best I have had - great lunchtime treat.

Magical sat and watched the snow fall as the light faded and then headed out warmed with Mulled wine to listen to the Polish singers sing on Independance day

Fantastic hot cherry wine, fruit tarts and salads (give the cheesecake a miss though), but unfortunately they seem to have the slowest and least observant waitresses in the world. Don't go if you're in a hurry.

A good location, though a little hard to find. Popular and has a good selection of drinks and snakcs. Godd atmosphere and some interesting decorations. Compared to other cafes, it was good but not that special.

Love the ambience of this in the hot summer. Just off the beaten Track...good strong beer as well as the coffee !

I have spent 1 week in Cracow and in this cafe they did not have any english papars. It is not true!!!!

One of the best places i've known through Europe. Appealing and charming, "a La Boheme" style that captivates you with its excellent dishes and drinks. Dont forget to try the hot beer with honey !! A Must.

the best cafe in the world. Amazing, fantastic!!!!!

The MOST romantic,elegant coffie shop I have ever been to!
The interior takes you back to a time where there was no war, poletitions and hate. It makes you feel that there still is love in the world! Can not wait to have my coffie there again!!!!

we went there dec 27, 2005 at 3:30pm

the place was packed evidencing its popularity. actually too popular for us.

very crowded-about half english speakers and about half polish.

the upside-no english newspapers as we read they had in a review somewhere so we didn't have to suffer the concocted stories, propaganda and wishful thinking of the leftist english & american press.

downside-our waitress.

several people came in after we were seated, had their order taken and were even served before our waitress managed to get back and take our order. we were just getting up to leave when she finally showed up. she was soon back again to tell us her workday was over and could we pay her now. a very american experience.

we've been to a number of coffee houses in our visits to krakow and i see no particular reason to return here. there are two other good, we felt.. better ones on the same street just a block or so in each direction which do not appear on this website-cafe dandy #19 and pozegnanie z afryka #21(coffee for sale, a virtual coffee museum.)

Nice place to meet for a sophisticated coffee. Fantastic Szarlotka (apple cake) with icecream. Overpriced for Krakow, but if you're a tourist you won't notice

Fantastic place! We stayed in Krakow for 4 days and have returned 3 times. The atmosphere is truly magnificent!

I recommend going there for breakfast – what an affair! Everything looks stunning and taste delicious. Such a difference from you typical breakfast served in gastro pubs and cafes in the UK! You sit at the table enjoying all those delicacies and flicking through up to date English papers offered free on the premises… Bliss at the heart of Krakow.
In the evening, it is a different affair… Candle-lit place consist of two rooms so called “white room” overlooking the street with cute round tables situated at the windows and the “red room” – decadent and full of arty objects and interesting people! Again, the menu choices are spot on: you want to try everything! The wine and drinks selection is immaculate; try muled hot wine – a perfect accompaniment to those cold Polish nights. This place is a real gem! Don’t just take my word for it, try it…

I just loved that place. The wine is good, and the prices are very much ok. I highly recommend the place, and a little hint: Try to get a glass of fresh carrot juice :)

Wonderful. Lovely cakes, tea and passable beer (zywiec - opt for warka or okocim if you get the chance). Fab decor, a music venue downstairs and a delightful dimly lit blood red room at the back. Go.
