New York may be one of the world’s most caffeinated cities, hence why it may be called “the city that never sleeps,” and it’s welcoming back an annual celebration of all things coffee.
The New York City Coffee Festival will return this fall for its seventh year, consuming Metropolitan Pavilion for a long weekend of all things coffee related from October 6 - 8.

At the three-day event, food, cocktails, live music, art, and more are promised, including unlimited tastings and presentations from local and national brands in the coffee, tea and chocolate industries. Confirmed participants include Parlor Coffee, Blueberry Roasters, Rishi Tea, Matcha Direct, De’Longhi, Bodum, Oatly, Raaka Chocolate, Aeropress, and many more.
Coffee enthusiasts can also take advantage of The Lab program which features interactive demonstrations, educational workshops, talks and tastings, The Coffee Music Project featuring the acts from NYC and beyond, and The Coffee Art Project showcasing emerging and established artists. Also returning to the festival are fan favorites including Coffee Masters NYC, The Coffee Cocktail Bar, The Sensory Experience, Latte Art Live, and The Street Food Market.
New for 2023 will be a cocktail masterclass, a latte art tournament (only dairy milk is allowed with a $1,000 prize at stake), and a Roasters Village offering a selection of unique and special coffee beans to taste and take home.
Tickets are now on sale for both industry professionals (trade day is Friday, October 6) and the general public, with day passes starting at $45 when purchased in advance. Tickets include access to over 100 exhibits, unlimited coffee, demos, event programming and more. 100% of all profits will be donated to Project Waterfall and charity: water, which brings clean water to coffee-producing countries.
You just know that event space is going to smell so good.
