Lovely cafe but the Vault is the real star. My daughter absolutely loves visiting and exploring.
Just popped into the Library of Birmingham to do some admin. So disappointed that there was no cafe and a conference in the Rep meant I couldn’t get a drink. So pleased the receptionist in the Rep Theatre pointed me in the direction of the Exchange. What a breath of fresh air to see a spacious airy public space in Birmingham! The Exchange is run by the University of Birmingham and what appeared to be a closed and derelict space has been restored to very high standard. And the huge roof lights allowed natural light to pour in. The cafe serves light snacks, cakes, sandwiches and hot and cold drinks. There are different seating arrangements. Lap top area, sofas, high and low tables and high back chairs. The coffee s good and so were the plain scones. There is also an info stand to get more info on the Africanise study of art works. I will definitely make this my choice of workspace when visiting Birmingham!
I have been visiting The Exchange regularly since it opened a few years back. It is an exceptional space, beautifully restored. The space is well run and the staff are second to none - competent, professional, kind, graceful - nothing is too much trouble. The cafe is comfortable and peaceful, with great coffee. Well done Fiona, Abdul and the team! You are doing a great job. Regards, Celia Healy-Knight.
An important part of Birmingham's past and present. Just stunning, grand but cosy and an environment you can really sink into. The staff are top notch!
Restored to a really high standard with lots of interesting features. Guide was extremely informative and enthusiastic about the subject. Excellent cafe. A hidden gem well worth a visit.
