Born from a wish
to stay
Settled in a 20th-century building long beloved by Kraków's artists, Camelot Café was born in 1992 from a simple desire: to create a place where one would want to stay.
The building once served as backdrop for the cult film "Awantura o Basię" in the 1960s. Today it houses the Loch Camelot theatre. Performances, concerts and recitals take place in its 13th-century cellars.
The walls carry naïve art figurines, letters signed by King Zygmunt August, and paintings by Nikifor Krynicki. Every corner tells a story.
"That honour goes to Cafe Camelot, which might just be my favourite cafe in the world."

Loch Camelot Theatre
A quiet
theatre
The original café, darker, more theatrical. Its tall windows let in an evening light that gilds the tables, cups, conversations.
Below, the medieval cellars host the Loch Camelot theatre's productions. The floor trembles sometimes, gently, with a show about to begin.

The house,
unfiltered
This photograph brings back the atmosphere of the hero image without the dark veil: the room, the materials, the tables and the theatrical light that holds the place together.
Cakes, coffee, archives
The desserts and objects tell the same story as the walls: a living, settled address that keeps its traces without becoming frozen in time.
