These are two concepts located in one place: completely sweet pancakes vs unreal filling pizza. Of course, you can combine both options without limits. Don't fight for healthy eating – their main motto is: "Fuck diet". You'll love this hipster pink interior with stickers and marker writings in the bathroom.

You can try over 15 versions of pancakes here, for example with Magic Stars, marshmallows, cotton candy, M&M's or caramel popcorn. Plus 17 pizza flavors with toppings like mango salsa and shrimp, chili con carne or mozzarella sticks in crispy Cheetos breading. Nice bonus: you'll try pizza with the world's hottest pepper called Carolina Reaper (1,569,300 on the Scoville Scale). They'll also give you a glass of milk so you don't lose consciousness.

Charlotte – Bread and Wine

Address: Plac Szczepański 2

Opening hours: Monday – Thursday 7–12, Friday 7–1, Saturday 8–1, Sunday 8–22.

What do you say about a crispy and buttery croissant in a charming bakery in the heart of the city? We suggest: "definitely yes"! They serve breakfast all day, play Joe Dassin music and give large Insta jars with homemade Belgian chocolate and jams – what could be better? The advantage is that all bread is baked on-site, so you'll get it fresh and most likely warm.

Good to know: service isn't very fast, so if you're in a hurry – leave this idea for next time ⏰

MAK Bread&Coffee

Address: Przemyska 5

Opening hours: Daily 7–20.

Fashionable magazines, beautiful interior, aesthetic color combination – that's mainly what this place is about. The cafe is located 5 minutes walk from Plac Nowy in Kazimierz. Hurry up to combine pleasure with usefulness: morning coffee and avocado toast, and then exploring all the horizons of the Jewish quarter.

Cafe Camelot

Address: Świętego Tomasza 17

Opening hours: Daily 9–24.

The restaurant is located in the Alley of the Unfaithful Thomas near the Main Market Square – a very sacred place with a 12th-century church next door. This is where theatrical performances of the Loch Camelot cabaret take place in the 90s basement. We advise trying the chanterelle risotto, though you'll wait about half an hour for it.
