Dallas’ coffee scene is buzzing, with new cafes opening up yearly. Now the city is getting an event worthy of its growing reputation: the first-ever Dallas Coffee Festival, happening on April 5 at Gilley’s Dallas. Founded by the team behind Austin Coffee Festival, San Francisco Coffee Festival and DC Coffee Festival, this one-day event is all about celebrating the local roasting scene while giving coffee lovers exactly what they want: unlimited coffee.
Attendees can sip on fresh brews from some of the area’s most beloved shops and roasters, including Juju’s Coffee, The Berni Bean Coffee Co., White Rock Coffee and more. Alongside endless pours, the festival will feature snacks from exhibitors, live entertainment and the opportunity to meet other coffee lovers.
The event is split into two tasting sessions: 9am-1pm and 1:30pm-4:30pm. Early admission grants access an hour before general ticket holders, while an all-day pass lets you stay through both sessions, giving you extra time to chat with roasters and savor every sip.
Tickets are on sale now, so whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a die-hard espresso aficionado, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
