History
The original Café Gulu-Gulu was owned and operated by a Frenchman named Frederic Lasne in Prague, Czech Republic between the years 1994 – 1999.
The café was immensely popular for expatriates and locals alike. During the day one could sit, relax, enjoy an espresso, and read for hours on end. During the evening Gulu-Gulu was an electric gathering place.
Steve Feldmann and Marie Vaskova got to know each other at the Café Gulu-Gulu during the spring of 1995. They were married a little over a year later and held their wedding party at the café.
This was a very special place for a lot of people and something was lost when the company’s lease was not renewed in 1999.
By resurrecting the inspiration of Gulu-Gulu in Massachusetts Steve and Marie are looking to bring a little piece of Prague to America.
