Hidden gem for meetings and quiet work in the heart of Brum. Good drinks, pastries and lunch options.
Ask about the fur coats.

A great venue in the heart of the city. Easily accessible, great architecture and decor, staff are welcoming. Food served for the conference lunch was a bit bland though. Otherwise, I would've given it 5 stars.
I popped in to the exchange café. I was impressed by the drinks menu, as there was a range of appetising smoothies on sale as well as hot and cold coffees. I opted for a “coco loco” smoothie which was sweet and refreshing. The café was a really relaxing place to sit, and I read some of the book that I had downloaded on my iPhone, “Bel Ami” by Guy de Maupassant. I purchased a cappuccino to take out, which the were happy to serve in my re-usable cup. The staff were very friendly. They made conversation with me and they made me feel welcome. On my way out, I stopped to read about the Edward Paolozzi exhibition. This was very interesting.
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.
A lovely haven in the city. Perfect for a relaxing tea stopover, away from the crowds. Beautiful and peaceful building and good value tea, scones and cakes too.
First visit and we loved it .
Easy to find a seat at lunch time
We only wanted coffee and cake as we were off to a concert in the symphony hall which is nearby.
Tables were being cleared quickly . Nice atmosphere and interesting to be sitting in a former bank .
Toilets and an area for children to sit ..
Some very comfortable armchairs perfect for retirees
The menu looked good with homemade soup and a vegetable hot pot using produce from Winterbourne. This cafe is run by Birmingham university.

The building is absolutely beautiful from outside and inside. A very spacious café with plenty of seating area surrounded by the beautiful marble interior of the old bank building. The menu offers brunch style food, including soup, sandwiches, quiche and others. There is a good variety of cakes and treats as well. There are plenty of drink options and coffee and teas. The staff are friendly. Overall good experience for a quick lunch and coffee.
A stunning restoration of the old Municipal bank here, Grade II listed building a wonderful turn of the 20th century banking hall. A wonderful cafe with lovely staff, nice food and coffee. The fine details kept, a lovely atrium roof skylight as well. Look for the banking hall inscriptions
