La Kulture: coffee by day, culture by night
The hybrid address of the moment: Mokxa coffee and precise brewing in the afternoon, concerts, exhibitions and glasses of wine at night.
The verdict
La Kulture sums up today's Krutenau better than anywhere else: a serious speciality coffee bar by day, with beans from the roaster Mokxa like the pioneer Café Bretelles, it turns into a bar with a busy cultural programme at night: concerts, exhibitions, late sessions. A deliberate hybrid, and it works remarkably well.
What to drink
By day: single origin espresso, gentle filters and flat whites done by the book. By night: local beers, wine, and a room that lifts with the programme. The switch from one to the other happens without a jolt, and that is the whole charm of the place.
Visiting tip
Check what is on before coming in the evening: the energy of the room changes completely from one event to the next. In the afternoon it is one of the best spots in the Krutenau to work or to catch your breath between two neighbourhoods.
