Are you running a café house, literary café, cultural café, or community-based hospitality venue in Europe?
HADIK Coffee House invites café houses from across Europe to join the emerging Network of European Café Houses, developed within the Creative Europe project CAFE — Redefining Café Houses as unique European Cultural Heritage.
By joining the network, your café can become part of a European community of venues that see cafés as spaces of culture, creativity, dialogue, and community.
Café houses have always been more than places to drink coffee. Across Europe, they have served as spaces of conversation, artistic creation, political imagination, social exchange, and everyday community life. They are places where people meet, ideas circulate, artists encounter audiences, and neighbourhoods become visible through culture.
Through the CAFE project — Redefining Café Houses as unique European Cultural Heritage, HADIK Coffee House and the international project consortium are building a European network of café houses that understand their role not only as hospitality venues, but also as cultural and civic spaces. The CAFE project is co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme and brings together HADIK Coffee House, ECCOM, ZRC SAZU, and KEA European Affairs.
Deadline: 30 August 2026
