The London Coffee Festival returns to Brick Lane from 6 to 9 April. Make sure you don’t miss any of the action
This year’s London Coffee Festival – the seventh annual four day celebration of all things coffee in the capital – is set to be the biggest ever. The 2017 event will see exciting new features alongside some trusted favourites. Visitors can choose from over 250 exhibitors, including artisan coffee and gourmet food stalls, tastings, demonstrations from world class baristas, interactive workshops, coffee-based cocktails, live music, DJs, art exhibitions and much more.
The festival opens for industry professionals on Thursday 6 April, but the fun really starts on the Friday evening, with the Espresso Martini Launch Party, headlined by DJ Norman Jay. Here at the Espresso Martini Bar by Baileys you’ll find at least two caffeinated cocktails on offer, the classic Espresso Martini and a Bailey’s Flat White Martini.
