Welcome to Vollpension aka Vienna's Generation Café
© David Payr_ Brand Eins Coffeehouses and the culture around it, is synonymous with Vienna. A 'Kaffeehaus' is an oasis of Gemütlichkeit, a place where the Viennese have been spending time to meet, read and think since 1685 (when the Ottomans left a bag of coffee beans in Vienna). Since the opening of Vollpension, only a stone’s throw from the famous Naschmarkt, the Viennese coffeehouse is also a social enterprise fighting old age poverty. The four co-founders created a space where seniors can actively get involved in our society with a meaningful activity, find self-empowerment and increase their disposable income by 40 percent on average by doing what they do best: baking cakes. Half of the team are older than 60! Vollpension also creates a dialogue between young and old – because eating (homemade cake) brings people together.
© Vollpension When the pandemic hit, from one day to the other Vollpension had to shut its doors. In full Vollpension-style the owners launched the online platform 'BakAdemy' with on-demand and live baking courses. Via Zoom, grandmas and grandpas teach 'BakAdemics' everything they need to know to bake their favourite cake when grandma is not handy.
