About this Event
Canada's Coffee Culture Festival — Coffee City
October 16–18, 2026 · Design Exchange, Toronto · FREE Admission
A whole city of coffee. Free to explore.
Step into Coffee City, a coffee capital built just for one weekend, filling three floors of Design Exchange. You're not just visiting. You're a citizen here.
Wander through where coffee actually lives: cozy home setups, real café counters, even an outdoor coffee corner. Grab a cup. Take photos at the city's landmarks. And right at the city's center: watch Canada's best baristas battle it out live at the Canadian National Latte Art Championship, which will choose the champion to represent Canada on the world stage, running all three days, right in front of you.
Then head upstairs, where a few hands-on experiences are waiting — each ticketed separately, on-site:
- 🍹 Mix your own drink at a cocktail-bar-style workshop
- ☕ Try latte art with a barista coaching you step by step
- 🌍 Sample beans from ten Canadian roasteries and blend your own bag to bring home
Admission is free. Reserve your free spot, because sessions fill up fast.
