Hello Café Exchange!
With Café Exchange (former Kassenhalle) we present an extended program and a new spot, run and created by Alexander Afrough, to have your daily dose of exquisite caffeine, topped with inspiration. We think these times call for a space which encourages to look beyond your own nose – a space to get together, mix up ideas, put heads together, get in contact and exchange thoughts, knowledge, visions and utopias!
Due to construction work of the building the café and our events are still not barrier free. We do apologize for it!
