Coffee Fest New York Starts Today!

If you’re anywhere near New York City, we suggest you drop what you’re doing and head over to the Javits Center in New York City to catch Coffee Fest, the best show for indie retailers we know.

Coffee Fest focuses on products and services for the cafe retailer more than any other shows we know, and its walkable floor, plus fun and interesting competitions and events that are held alongside the trade show, always makes for a weekend of discovery and inspiration.

The show hours are 12 “5 p.m. today and Saturday, and 12 “4 p.m. on Sunday. Some not to miss Coffee Fest action:
