Are you a serious coffee drinker who can distinguish and appreciate the importance of a good brew? Do you embrace the caffeine culture and regard coffee drinking as a pleasurable hobby?
If you’re a coffee lover and you consider yourself a part of the burgeoning coffee community in Brisbane, then you will enjoy this event celebrating the best coffees in the country.

The best coffee suppliers in Australia, including underground roasters, will showcase their products at pop-up stores located around Bakery Lane, California Lane and Winn Lane in Fortitude Valley.
